: قُلْتُ لَهُ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «۝ وَ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى اَلنّٰاسِ حِجُّ اَلْبَيْتِ مَنِ اِسْتَطٰاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً ۝» قَالَ «يَخْرُجُ يَمْشِي إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ» قُلْتُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلْمَشْيِ قَالَ «يَمْشِي وَ يَرْكَبُ» قُلْتُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ «يَخْدُمُ اَلْقَوْمَ وَ يَخْرُجُ مَعَهُمْ».


Translation

Hadith.2504 - Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: I asked him about the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And [due] to Allah (swt) from the people is a pilgrimage to the House—whoever is able to find thereto a way" (Surah Aal-E-Imran 3:97). Imam (as) replied: "He should set out on foot if he has nothing." I said: "What if he cannot walk?" Imam (as) said: "Then he should walk and ride." I said: "What if he cannot do that either?" Imam (as) said: "Then he should serve the group and set out with them."
