2858 - رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلرَّبِيعِ اَلشَّامِيِّ قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « وَ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى اَلنّٰاسِ حِجُّ اَلْبَيْتِ مَنِ اِسْتَطٰاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً » فَقَالَ «مَا يَقُولُ اَلنَّاسُ فِيهَا » فَقِيلَ لَهُ اَلزَّادُ وَ اَلرَّاحِلَةُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «قَدْ سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ» «هَلَكَ اَلنَّاسُ إِذاً، لَئِنْ كَانَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ زَادٌ وَ رَاحِلَةٌ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُوتُ بِهِ عِيَالَهُ وَ يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ عَنِ اَلنَّاسِ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَسْلُبُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ لَقَدْ هَلَكُوا إِذاً » فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَمَا اَلسَّبِيلُ فَقَالَ «اَلسَّعَةُ فِي اَلْمَالِ إِذَا كَانَ يَحُجُّ بِبَعْضٍ وَ يَبْقَى بَعْضٌ لِقُوتِ عِيَالِهِ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلزَّكَاةَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا إِلاَّ عَلَى مَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ».
Hadith.2858 - It was narrated from Abu al-Rabi' al-Shami, who said: Abu Abdullah was asked about the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And [due] to Allah (swt) from the people is a pilgrimage to the House – for whoever is able to find thereto a way." (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:97).
Imam
said: "What do people say regarding it?"
It was said to him: "Provision and a mount."
Imam
replied: "Abu Ja'far
was asked about this and said: 'Then the people would perish! If it were such that whoever has provisions and a mount sufficient for his family and enough to make him independent of others must go for Hajj and be stripped of these provisions, then they would perish.'"
Imam
was asked: "Then what is the 'way' (sabeel)?"
Imam
replied: "It is sufficiency in wealth—when one can perform Hajj with part of it while leaving enough to provide for his family. Has not Allah (swt), the Exalted, obligated Zakat and made it incumbent only upon those who possess two hundred dirhams?"
