Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘I perform Hajj one year and my associate performs Hajj one year’. He^asws said: ‘What is preventing you from the Hajj, O Ibrahim?’ I said, ‘I am not free for that, may I be sacrificed for you^asws. I tend to give in charity with five hundred in place of that’. He^asws said: ‘The Hajj is superior’. I said, ‘A thousand?’ He^asws said: ‘The Hajj is superior’. I said, ‘So a thousand and five hundred?’ He^asws said: ‘The Hajj is superior’. I said, ‘Two thousand?’ He^asws said: ‘Is there, in your two thousand, a circumambulation of the House (Kabah)?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘Is there, in your two thousand, a Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa’. I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘Is there, in your two thousand, a pausing at Arafat?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘Is there, in your two thousand, pelting of the rocks?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘Is there, in your two thousand, the rituals?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘The Hajj is superior’.
