سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقَدَرِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُمُ الِاسْتِطَاعَةَ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِالِاسْتِطَاعَةِ الزَّادَ وَ الرَّاحِلَةَ لَيْسَ اسْتِطَاعَةَ الْبَدَنِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَ فَلَيْسَ إِذَا كَانَ الزَّادُ وَ الرَّاحِلَةُ فَهُوَ مُسْتَطِيعٌ لِلْحَجِّ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ لَيْسَ كَمَا تَظُنُّ قَدْ تَرَى الرَّجُلَ عِنْدَهُ الْمَالُ الْكَثِيرُ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الزَّادِ وَ الرَّاحِلَةِ فَهُوَ لَا يَحُجُّ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Musa Bin Imran, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘A man from the people of (believers in) Destiny asked him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Inform me about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:3#h97"><a href="/books/quran:3#h97">[3:97]</a></a> and Hajj to the House is incumbent upon the people for the Sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it</span>. Is it not so that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Makes to the capacity to be for them?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘Woe be unto you! But rather, what is Meant by the capacity are the provisions and the ride, it is not the ability of the body (only)’. So the man said, ‘So is it not so that when there are provisions and the ride, so he would have the capacity for the Hajj?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto you! It is not as you are thinking it to be. You have seen the man with whom is the abundant wealth, more than the (required) provision and the ride, but he is not performing Hajj until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted Permits him with regards to that’.
