453 - أدَبُ الإحرامِ‏

453. The Respect due to Ihram ¹

1394.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن حَجَّ بمالٍ حَرامٍ فقالَ: لَبَّيْكَ اللّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ ، قالَ اللَّهُ لَهُ : لا لَبَّيْكَ ولا سَعْدَيْكَ ، حَجُّكَ مَردودٌ علَيكَ .²

1394.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'When he who makes pilgrimage by means of unlawful money says: "Here I am O Allah! Here I am (labbayk Allahumma labbayk)", Allah will say to him, 'No labbayka and no welcome for you. Your pilgrimage is returned to you.' ³

1395.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : الحجُّ حَجّانِ : حَجٌّ للَّهِ‏وحَجٌّ للنّاسِ، فمَنْ حَجَّ للَّهِ كانَ ثَوابُهُ على‏ اللَّهِ الجَنّةَ، ومَن حَجَّ للنّاسِ كانَ ثَوابُهُ على‏ النّاسِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ .⁴

1395.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Pilgrimage is of two kinds: the pilgrimage [performed] for Allah and the pilgrimage for the people. So he who goes on pilgrimage for Allah, his reward is upon Allah and will be Paradise, and he who makes pilgrimage for the people, his reward on the Day of Resurrection will be with the people.' ⁵

1396.الخصال عن مالكِ بنِ أنَس : حَجَجْتُ مع الصّادق عليه السلام سَنةً ، فلمّا اسْتَوَتْ بهِ راحِلَتُهُ عِند الإحْرامِ كانَ كُلَّما هَمَّ بالتَّلْبِيَةِ انْقَطعَ الصَّوتُ في حَلْقِهِ ، وكادَ يَخِرَّ مِن راحِلَتِهِ ، فقلتُ : قُلْ يابنَ رسولِ اللَّهِ ، ولابدَّ لكَ مِن أنْ تَقولَ ، فقالَ عليه السلام : يابنَ أبي عامر ، كيفَ أجْسُرُ أنْ أقولَ : لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ ، وأخْشى‏ أنْ يَقولَ عزّوجلّ لي : لا لَبَّيْكَ ولا سَعْدَيْكَ! ⁶

1396. Malik b. Anas narrated: 'One year I went on pilgrimage with al-Sadiq (AS). When his mount came to the place of ihram, whenever he intended to say labbayka [here I am ...] his voice would cut off in his throat, and he nearly fell off his mount. So I said to him, 'O son of the Prophet, say it, for you must say it', to which he replied, 'O Ibn Abi Amir, how can I dare say: 'I am here O Allah! I am here' whilst I fear lest He say, 'No labbayka and no welcome for you!' ⁷

1397.الإمامُ الرِّضا عليه السلام : إنَّما اُمِروا⁸ بالإحْرامِ ليَخْشَعوا قَبلَ دُخولِهِم حَرَمَ اللَّهِ وأمْنَهُ ، ولِئلّا يَلْهوا ويَشْتَغِلوا بشَي‏ءٍ مِن اُمورِ الدُّنيا وزِينتِها ولَذّاتِها ، ويكونوا جادِّينَ فيما هُم فيهِ ، قاصِدينَ نَحْوَهُ ، مُقْبِلينَ علَيهِ بِكُلِّيَّتِهِم .⁹

1397.Imam al-Rida (AS) said, 'Indeed they have been ordered to be in the state of ihram in order that they humble themselves before entering the sanctuary and the safe place of Allah, and so that they do not divert and preoccupy themselves with anything of the affairs of this world and its adornments and pleasures; and so that they be serious in what they are engaged in, journeying to Him and approaching Him with all their being.' ¹⁰
