HADEES ON HAJJ- I

A man asked Imam Sadiq (A.S.) in Masjid- ul- Haram: Who commits the greatest sins?

Imam said: "Someone who settles in Arafat and Mashar, and he does the ceremony of Saay between the mountains of Safa and Marveh, and circumambulates around the God's House, then he prays at the back of the Maghame Ibrahim (A.S.) but doubts whether God forgives him or not. This person commits the greatest sin.

Imam Hussain ibn Ali (A.S.) says: Shake hands with Hajis and the people whom have performed the Hajj rituals and Umrah and salute them before they make sin.

Muhammad ibn Sannan has been quoted a saying that once Imam Reza (A.S.) wrote to him, " The reason why Mina (A place near Makkah) was named Mina is that Gabriel (A great angel) said to the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) in this place: Ask God whatever you wish."

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) says: Haji will have the light and mien of Hajj as long as he has not committed a sin.

The Messenger of God (S.A.W.) says: O people perform Hajj rituals with full awareness and religion and don't come back from Hajj unless you decide to give up committing sins and repent instead.

The Messenger of God (S.A.W.) says: The reward of Hajj is Paradise and the atonement of any sin is Umrah.

The Messenger of God (S.A.W.) says: There are some kinds of sins that are just forgiven in Arafat.

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) says : Frequenting between Safa and Marwah is a means to underestimate a tyrants.

Imam Baqir (A.S.) says: Begin your Hajj from Makkah and finish it to us.

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) says: Looking at Kaaba is an act of worship.

Imam Ali (A.S.) says: Don't abandon Hajj rituals because you will be punished
