41ـ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَا مِنْ سَفَرٍ أَبْلَغَ فِي لَحْمٍ وَلا دَمٍ وَلا جِلْدٍ وَلا شَعْرٍ مِنْ سَفَرِ مَكَّةَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ يَبْلُغُهُ حَتَّى تَنَالَهُ الْمَشَقَّةُ.
41. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that no other journey affects one’s flesh, blood, skin and hair more than the journey to Makkah. No one reaches it (the journey) without facing hardships.’”
