2236 - وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّ اَلْحَجَّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلصِّيَامِ لِأَنَّ اَلْمُصَلِّيَ إِنَّمَا يَشْتَغِلُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ سَاعَةً وَ أَنَّ اَلصَّائِمَ يَشْتَغِلُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ بَيَاضَ يَوْمٍ وَ أَنَّ اَلْحَاجَّ يُشْخِصُ بَدَنَهُ وَ يُضْحِي نَفْسَهُ وَ يُنْفِقُ مَالَهُ وَ يُطِيلُ اَلْغَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ لاَ فِي مَالٍ يَرْجُوهُ وَ لاَ إِلَى تِجَارَةٍ».
Hadith.2236 - It has been narrated: "Hajj is superior to prayer and fasting because the one who prays is away from their family for only an hour, the one who fasts is away from their family for the daylight hours of a single day, but the one performing Hajj departs with their body, sacrifices their self, spends their wealth, and remains absent from their family for an extended period—not for any wealth they hope to gain or for trade."
