Hadith 970
۞
4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from abu Hammam who has said the following
“I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about a man who owes a debt and he earns a certain amount; if he must pay the debt or perform al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘With a certain part he pays the debt and with other part performs al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if it is only enough for al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One year he pays the debt, and one year performs al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘Can an amount be received from Sultan?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful in the case of all of you.’”
4ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي هَمَّامٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّيْنُ وَيَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيْءُ أَ يَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ أَوْ يَحُجُّ قَالَ يَقْضِي بِبَعْضٍ وَيَحُجُّ بِبَعْضٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ لا يَكُونُ إِلاَّ بِقَدْرِ نَفَقَةِ الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ يَقْضِي سَنَةً وَيَحُجُّ سَنَةً فَقُلْتُ أُعْطِيَ الْمَالَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ السُّلْطَانِ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ.
