Al-Kafi 8170

Translation

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Al Husayn Bin Sayf, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far^asws about a man who performs Hajj, a Hajj of Al-Islam, so he enters to perform Umrah, being the Umrah to the Hajj. So, Allah^azwj Supports him upon his Umrah and his Hajj. Then he goes to Al-Medina and greets upon the Prophet^saww. Then he comes to you^asws, having recognised your^asws right, knowing that you^asws are a Proof of Allah^azwj upon His^azwj creatures, and His^azwj Door, which come from Him^azwj. So he greets you^asws, then he goes to Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn^asws, so he greets upon him^asws. Then he goes to Baghdad and greets upon Abu Al-Hassan Musa^asws. Then he leaves to go to his city. So when it was the time for Hajj, Allah^azwj Graces him with the Hajj. So which of the two is superior, this which he had already performed the Hajj of Al-Islam, returning as well, so he performs hajj (again), or he returns to Khurasan to your^asws father^asws Ali^asws Bin Musa^asws so he greets upon him^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘No. But, his going to Khurasan and greeting upon Abu Al-Hassan^asws is superior, but that is during Rajab, and it is not befitting that you should do so during these days, for upon us^asws and upon you^asws is a repulsiveness from the ruling authority’.
