Hadith 201
۞
10. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “The reward of performing Hajj is more than freeing ten slaves.” Imam (a.s.) kept on counting till he said that the reward of the acts of Hajj is more than freeing seventy slaves and said that the reward of circumambulation and a two rakat prayer are equal to freeing a slave.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ الْحَجُّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِتْقِ عَشْرِ رَقَبَاتٍ حَتَّی عَدَّ سَبْعِینَ رَقَبَهً وَ رَکْعَتَا الطَّوَافِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِتْقِ رَقَبَهٍ.
