Al-Kafi 6866

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Ayoub, from Sa’ad Al Askaf who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far^asws saying: ‘When the pilgrim begins his preparation, he does not take a step with regards to something from his preparations, except that Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Writes ten good deeds for him, and Deletes ten sin from him, and Raises ten Levels for him, until he is free from his preparations. When he is free and he faces his ride with it, he does not place a shoe nor does he raise it, except that Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Writes for him similar to that until he has completed his rituals. So when he has completed his rituals, Allah^azwj Forgives his sins for him. And Zil-Hijja, and Al-Muharram, and Safar, and the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal are four months in which the good deeds are Written for him and the sins are not Written against him, except if he comes to a major sin. So when the four months are past, he is mixed with the people’.
