Performing the Hajj with Haram Wealth
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع): لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللٌّهُ
عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَجًّا وَّ لاَ عُمْرَةً مِنْ
مَّالٍ حَرَامٍ.
Abu Ja’far [Imam Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Baqir]
(peace be upon him) has said, “Allah, the Noble
and Grand shall not accept the Hajj or ‘Umrah of
a person who performs them using Harams wealth.”

Etiquette of the Hajj
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع)
قَالَ: مَا يَعْبَؤُ بِمَنْ يَؤُمُّ هٌذَا
الْبَيْتِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ ثَلاَثُ
خِصَالٍ: وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَعَاصِي اللٌّهِ
وَ حِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَ حُسْنُ
الصَحَابَةِ لِمَنْ صَحِبَهُ.
It has been narrated form
Abi Ja’far [Imam Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Baqir]
(peace be upon him) that he said, “It does not
matter if one visits this House if he does not
possess three traits: Cautiousness (Wara’) which
prevents him from sinning; forbearance which
helps him rule over his anger; and good
interaction with those who are with him.”

Exemptions for Women in the Hajj Rites
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(ع) قَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلى
النِّسَاءِ إِجْهَارُ التَّلْبِيَّةِ وَ لاَ
الْهَرْوَلَةِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ
لاَ إِسْتَلاَمُ الْحَجْرِ الأَسْوَدِ وَ لاَ
دُخُولُ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لاَ الْحَلْقُ إِنَّمَا
يُقَصِّرْنَ مِنْ شُعُورِهِنَّ.
It has been
narrated from Abi Ja’far [Imam Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali
al-Baqir] (peace be upon him) that he said, “The
following things are not necessary for women to
perform in the Hajj: women do not have to
pronounce the Talbiyyah (Labbayk Allahumma
Labbayk) out loud; nor do they have to perform
the Harwalah (act of briefly running) between
the mountains of al-Safa and al-Marwah; the
rubbing of the hand on the Hajral Aswad;
entering into the Ka’bah; and the shaving of the
head; instead, they only cut some of their
hair.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 96, Page 189
Distribution of Mercy in the Vicinity of the

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّهِ (ع) قَالَ: لِلٌّهِ
تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالـى حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ
عِشْرُونَ وَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةً مِنْهَا سِتُّونَ
لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ لِلمُصَلِّيَن وَ
عِشْرُونَ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ.
It has been
narrated from Abi ‘Abdillah [Imam Ja’far Ibn
Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) that he

120 parts of Mercy around the Ka’bah. From
these, sixty are for those performing the Tawaf
around the Ka’bah; forty are for those
performing the prayers; and twenty are for those
just looking (at the Ka’bah).” Biharul Anwar,

(Wall) of Isma’il
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ
اللٌّهِ (ع): إِنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ دَفَنَ أُمَّهُ
فِي الْحَجْرِ وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ حَائِطاً لِئَلاَّ
يُوَطَّا قَبْرَهَا.
Abu ‘Abdillah [Imam
Ja’far Ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon
him) said, “Isma’il buried his mother (Hajrah)

مِائَةَ وَ سِتِّينَ أُسْبُوعاً عَدَدِ أَيَّامَ
السَّنَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَمَا قَدَرْتَ
عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ.
It has been
narrated from Abi ‘Abdillah [Imam Ja’far Ibn
Muhammad as-Sadiq] (peace be upon him) who said,

unable to do so, then one should perform the
Tawaf as much as possible.”

وَ اسْتَلْمُوا الرُّكْنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَمِينُ
اللٌّهِ عَلـى أَرْضِهِ يُصَافِحُ بِهَا خَلْقَهُ.
The Messenger of
Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his
family) has said, “Perform the Tawaf of the
House and rub your hand over the Corner which
has the Hajr al-Aswad because this is the right
hand of Allah on His Earth which He shakes with
His creations.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 96, Page

عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ (ع) قَالَ: صَلاَةٌ فِي
الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مِائَةِ
أَلْفِ صَلاَةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ.
Al-Baqir [Imam

Supplication in ‘Arafat
عَنِ الرِّضَا (ع) قَالَ:
كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرَ (ع) يَقُولُ: مَا مِنْ بِرٍّ
وَ لاَ فَاجِرٍ يَقِفُ بِجِبَالِ عَرَفَاتٍ
فَيَدْعُو اللٌّهَ إِلاَّ اسْتِجَابَ اللٌّهُ
لَهُ. أَمَّا الْبِرُّ فَفِي حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا
وَ الأَخِرَةِ وَ أَمَّا الْفَاجِرُ فَفِي أَمْرِ
الدُّنْيَا.
It has been
narrated from al-Ridha [Imam ‘Ali Ibn Musa]
(peace be upon him): “Surely my father, Abu
Ja’far (peace be upon him) used to say, ‘There
is not a single righteous person or sinner who
makes a sojourn at the Mountains of ‘Arafat and
calls upon Allah there, except that Allah
answers his call. For a righteous person
(his call is answered) in regards to the needs
and necessities of the life of this temporal
world and the next life; while a sinner (is
answered) in regards to the affairs of the
temporal world (only).” Biharul Anwar, Volume 96, Page 251
