1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ زَعْلانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَاكَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ إِلَى الْحَجِّ وَأَنْتَ تَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْحَجِّ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan Za’lan from ‘Abd Allah ibn al- Mughirah from Hammad ibn Talhah from ‘Isa ibn abu Mansur who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once said to me , ‘O ‘Isa, I love that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, see you in one al-Hajj to another al-Hajj and you are getting ready for another al-Hajj.’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَغَيْرِهِمَا عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَنِ اتَّخَذَ مَحْمِلاً لِلْحَجِّ كَانَ كَمَنْ رَبَطَ فَرَساً فِي سَبِيلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Husayn ibn ‘Uthman and Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah and others besides the two from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who prepares a carriage (carried on camel back) for al-Hajj is like one who prepares a horse to be used in the way of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.”’

3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ بَعْضِ الْكُوفِيِّينَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ مَنْ رَجَعَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَنْوِي الْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ زِيدَ فِي عُمُرِهِ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Hamzah ibn Ya’liy from certain people of al-Kufa from Ahmad ibn ‘A’idh from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘One who returns from Makkah with an intention to return to al-Hajj again in the future lives longer.’”
