5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “Whenever a pilgrim intends to go for a Hajj, Allah writes ten rewards for him, wipes his ten sins and increases his position by ten levels even before he has bought a single thing for his journey. When he intends to board the vehicle, Allah gives him the above mentioned reward even before he has set his foot on it. When he performs the circumambulation of the House of Allah his sins are wiped off. When he performs Saee between Safa and Marwa, he becomes pure of his sins. When he halts at Arafah, his sins vanish. When he camps in Mashar he comes out of his sins. When he performs stoning at Jimaraat, all his sins are wiped off. Similarly, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم narrated all the acts of Hajj and said that all these acts wipe the sins of a person. Then he said, “How can you reach the position of a Hajj pilgrim?”
