Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 41
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ شَيْخٍ رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا فُلانُ أَقْلِلِ النَّفَقَةَ فِي الْحَجِّ تَنْشَطْ لِلْحَجِّ وَلا تُكْثِرِ النَّفَقَةَ فِي الْحَجِّ فَتَمَلَّ الْحَجَّ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy from a Shaykh narrating it in a marfu’ manner has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that he (the Imam) said to him (the narrator), ‘O so and so, reduce the expenses of al-Hajj; you will be more motivated for al-Hajj. You must not be an over- spender; that will reduce your interest in performing al-Hajj. ‘“
