1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا رَبِحَ الرِّبْحَ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْ‏ءَ فَعَزَلَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا لِلْحَجِّ وَإِذَا رَبِحَ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ هَذَا لِلْحَجِّ جَاءَ إِبَّانُ الْحَجِّ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ لَهُ نَفَقَةٌ عَزَمَ الله فَخَرَجَ وَلَكِنْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَرْبَحُ الرِّبْحَ فَيُنْفِقُهُ فَإِذَا جَاءَ إِبَّانُ الْحَجِّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَأْسِ مَالِهِ فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ.

1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If one of you whenever earning a certain profit, deducts a certain amount for the expenses of al-Hajj by the season of al-Hajj, he can have all of the expense for al-Hajj ready. He then can leave (to perform al-Hajj of the House of Allah). On the other hand, without such deduction at the time of al-Hajj, it may seem difficult for him to take the expenses for al-Hajj all at once from his profits. ‘“

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 (a.s.), 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. ‘“

3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لَيَنْقَطِعُ رِكَابُهُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَيَشُدُّهُ بِخُوصَةٍ لِيُهَوِّنَ الْحَجَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Rib’iy ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘On his way to al-Hajj, ’Amir al-Muminin (a.s.), would mend a damaged stirrup of his transportation animal with palm tree fibers to make al-Hajj easier for him. ‘“

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْهَدِيَّةُ مِنْ نَفَقَةِ الْحَجِّ.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad who in marfu‘ manner has narrated who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that gifts are out of the expenses of al-Hajj.”

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَدِيَّةُ الْحَجِّ مِنَ الْحَجِّ.
