سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي حَجَّ فِيهَا وَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَ مِائَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ دَخَلْتَ مَكَّةَ مُفْرِداً أَوْ مُتَمَتِّعاً فَقَالَ مُتَمَتِّعاً فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَيُّمَا أَفْضَلُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ أَوْ مَنْ أَفْرَدَ وَ سَاقَ الْهَدْيَ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُفْرِدِ السَّائِقِ لِلْهَدْيِ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ يَدْخُلُ الْحَاجُّ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُتْعَةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Sunnah in which Hajj is performed, and that was in the year two hundred and twelve, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! By which thing did you<sup>asws</sup> enter Makkah, exclusive or for <span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For <span class="iTxt">Tamatto </span>’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Which of the two is superior, the <span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span> with the Umra to the Hajj, or the one who performs is exclusively and ushers the sacrificial animal?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span> with the Umra to the Hajj is superior than the exclusive, the ushering of the sacrificial animal’; and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘The pilgrim does not enter with anything more superior than the <span class="iTxt">Tamatto </span>’.
