48ـ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحُجَّ اسْتَبْشِرُوا بِالْحَاجِّ وَصَافِحُوهُمْ وَعَظِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ تُشَارِكُوهُمْ فِي الأَجْرِ.
48. Ahmad has narrated from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام, has said, ‘O people who have not performed al-Hajj, spread good news about al-H’ajj (people performing al-Hajj), shake hands with them, consider them great people; it is necessary for you to share with them in matters of the reward.”
