John Shaqi

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْنُ فَيَقَعُ فِي يَدِيَ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَإِنْ وَزَّعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَ فَأَحُجُّ بِهَا أَوْ أُوَزِّعُهَا بَيْنَ الْغُرَّامِ فَقَالَ تَحُجُّ بِهَا وَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Wahab, from someone else who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There happen to be debts upon me, and the Dirhams occur upon my hands. So, if I were to distribute these between them, there would not remain anything. Shall I perform Hajj with it or distribute these between the creditors?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should perform Hajj with it and supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> that He<sup>azwj</sup> should Cause the fulfilment of your debts from you’.
