The Excellence of Hajj and ‘Umrah, and the Reward Thereof

27ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا يَرْجِعُ بِهِ الْحَاجُّ الَّذِي لا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ أَنْ يُحْفَظَ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يُحْفَظُ فِيهِمْ قَالَ لا يَحْدُثُ فِيهِمْ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ يَحْدُثُ فِيهِمْ وَهُوَ مُقِيمٌ مَعَهُمْ.
27. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al-‘Ala’ from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the least with which a pilgrim, whose Hajj is not accepted, returns is safety of his family and property at home.” I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What kind of thing is this safety?’ He (the Imam) replied, ’Nothing will happen to them except things that may happen during his presence in his family and belongings.’”
