39. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from al-Mufaddal ibn Salih from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , has said,

‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Al-H’ajj (people who perform al-Hajj) are of three kinds. The one with the best share is one all of whose sins, those of the past and those to come are forgiven, and Allah protects him against the torments in the grave. Next to this is one whose sins of the past are forgiven but he begins his good deeds for the rest of his life. After these two is one who receives safety for his own self, family and property.’”
