Hadith 924
۞
2. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “
One who dies before performing an obligatory Hajj without having a valid reason, like illness or rule of an oppressive king, he has an option either to die as a Jew or a Christian.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ ذَرِیحٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ یَحُجَّ حِجَّهَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ لَمْ تَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ حَاجَهٌ تُجْحِفُ بِهِ أَوْ مَرَضٌ لَا یُطِیقُ الْحَجَّ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَوْ سُلْطَانٌ یَمْنَعُهُ فَلْیَمُتْ یَهُودِیّاً أَوْ نَصْرَانِیّاً.
