قَالَ لِي مَا لَكَ لَا تَحُجُّ فِي الْعَامِ فَقُلْتُ مُعَامَلَةٌ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ وَ أَشْغَالٌ وَ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ خِيَرَةٌ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ خِيَرَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا حُبِسَ عَبْدٌ عَنْ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا بِذَنْبٍ وَ مَا يَعْفُو أَكْثَرُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al nazar Bin Shuayd, from Yunus Bin Imran Bin Maysam, from Sama’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said to me: ‘What is the matter with you, not performing the Hajj in the year?’ So I said, ‘There are dealings between me and the people, and I am occupied, and perhaps that would happen to be better (next time)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will not Do good for you in that’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Nothing withholds a servant from this House (Kaaba) except him being with sins, and (he should) ask for excessive Forgiveness.
