31. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain individuals of his people from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following
“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Al-Hajj is better than setting free of seventy slaves/ I then asked, ‘Is there anything equal to al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘No other thing is equal to al- Hajj. Spending one dirham for al-Hajj is better than spending two million dirhams for the cause of Allah, which is other than al-Hajj. He (the Imam) then said, ‘I left for al-Hajj and there were seventy camels and ten or so horses. I had purchased slaves to increase the number. Eating vinegar with oil had made me upset. Hamidah had ordered to roast a chicken that made me feel better.”’
31ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ حَجَّةٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِتْقِ سَبْعِينَ رَقَبَةً فَقُلْتُ مَا يَعْدِلُ الْحَجَّ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ مَا يَعْدِلُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَلَدِرْهَمٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنْ سَبِيلِ الله ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ خَرَجْتُ عَلَى نَيِّفٍ وَسَبْعِينَ بَعِيراً وَبِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ دَابَّةً وَلَقَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُ سُوداً أُكَثِّرُ بِهَا الْعَدَدَ وَلَقَدْ آذَانِي أَكْلُ الْخَلِّ وَالزَّيْتِ حَتَّى إِنَّ حَمِيدَةَ أَمَرَتْ بِدَجَاجَةٍ فَشُوِيَتْ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي.
