16ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَصَّاصِ عَنْ عُذَافِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْعِيَالُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا مِتَّ فَمَنْ لِعِيَالِكَ أَطْعِمْ عِيَالَكَ الْخَلَّ وَالزَّيْتَ وَحُجَّ بِهِمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ.
16. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ‘Abd al-Mu’min from Dawud ibn Sulayman al-Jassas from ‘Adhafir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, once asked, ‘What prevents you from performing Hajj every year?’ I replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; my dependents prevent me from performing Hajj.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you die who will be there for your dependents? You should feed your dependents vinegar and oil and perform Hajj with them every year.’”
