لَمَّا أَفَاضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَلَقَّاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَعَاقَنِي وَ أَنَا رَجُلٌ مَيِّلٌ يَعْنِي كَثِيرَ الْمَالِ فَمُرْنِي أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي مَا أَبْلُغُ بِهِ مَا يَبْلُغُ بِهِ الْحَاجُّ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا قُبَيْسٍ لَكَ زِنَتَهُ ذَهَبَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ أَنْفَقْتَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا بَلَغْتَ مَا بَلَغَ الْحَاجُّ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘When Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> departed, he<sup>saww</sup> came across a Bedouin at Al-Bat’ha, who said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! I went out intending the Hajj but I was hindered, and I am an affluent man, meaning of abundant wealth. So order me to do (something) with my wealth by which I can achieve what I would achieve with by the Hajj’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> turned towards (Mount) Abu Qubays, so he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘If (Mount) Abu Qubayys was (a pile of) red gold coins for you, spending it in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, it would not achieve what the Hajj would achieve’.
