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

35. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hajjal from Ghalib from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah are market places for the next life in which the workers are neighbors of Allah. If they find what they hope, Allah grants them forgiveness, but if the appointed time for his death did not give him a chance, the reward for him remains with Allah.”
