The Excellence of Hajj

No. 1185 & 1200 – On the authority of Ibn Abbas in a narration ascribed to the Prophet: -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam:

‘Be regular with (in another narration: follow up) the Hajj and the Umrah since they wipe out poverty and sins, just as the furnace separates the slag from the iron.’

No. 1662 – The Messenger – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: ‘Indeed Allaah says: Verily I have made a slave’s body healthy and given him adequate livelihood yet five years have passed and he has not come to Me and redeemed himself, as a pilgrim.’

Silsilah-Saheehah

Shaykh Albaani said:

‘Benefit: al-Mundhiri said in ‘al-Targheeb’ (2/134): Narrated by Ibn Hibban in his ‘Saheeh’ and by al-Bayhaqi who said: ‘Alee bin al-Mundhir said: Some of our companions narrated to me saying: Hasan bin Hayyin used to be amazed by this hadeeth and used to implement it. He would love a healthy, prosperous person not to leave off Hajj for five years.’

No. 1264 – On the authority of Jaabir in a narration ascribed to the Prophet: -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam: ‘The goodness of Hajj is feeding people and good speech.’

No. 1820 – On the authority of Jaabir who said: the Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: ‘Pilgrims for Hajj and Umrah are the delegates of Allaah. He called them and they responded, they asked of Him and He gave them.’
