قَالَ لِي مَا حَبَسَكَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَقَعَ عَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ كَثِيرٌ وَ ذَهَبَ مَالِي وَ دَيْنِيَ الَّذِي قَدْ لَزِمَنِي هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَهَابِ مَالِي فَلَوْ لَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَخْرَجَنِي مَا قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ لِي إِنْ تَصْبِرْ تُغْتَبَطْ وَ إِلَّا تَصْبِرْ يُنْفِذِ اللَّهُ مَقَادِيرَهُ رَاضِياً كُنْتَ أَمْ كَارِهاً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Sama’at Bin Mihran, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said: ‘He<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘What withheld you from the Hajj?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A lot of debts occurred upon me, and my wealth is gone, and the debts which are necessitated upon me are greater than the wealth that has gone from me. So if a man from our companions were not to take me out (to go to Hajj), I am unable from going out’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘If you are patient, they would backbite you, or else be patient and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will Implement His<sup>azwj</sup> Ordainment, whether you were happy with it or reluctant’.
