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

5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ كُلَيْعٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنِّي قَدْ وَطَّنْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَى لُزُومِ الْحَجِّ كُلَّ عَامٍ بِنَفْسِي أَوْ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي بِمَالِي فَقَالَ وَقَدْ عَزَمْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَأَبْشِرْ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ.
5. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Yahya ibn ‘Amr ibn Kulay‘ from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘I have settled my soul upon performing Hajj every year by myself or along with a man from my family with my expenses. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Is the decision you have made a firm one?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it is a firm decision.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you have done so, I give you the glad news of enjoying a great wealth.’”
