The excellence of Haj in the Hadith

Translation of Hadith: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Allah Ta'ala forgives all the sins of that person who dies either going to or coming from Makkah.  He will not have to account for his (or her) deeds and neither will his (or her) deeds be weighed.  He (or she) will keep getting the reward of Hajj until the Qiyamah.  This person will enter Jannah without any questioning and without any kind of punishment.

 

Translation of Hadith:  If a person stays in the plain of Arafaat on the day of Arafah, even for a short period of time, and thinks that Allah Ta'ala has not forgiven that person, then this is that person's greatest sin.

 

Translation of Hadith: The Sahabah (the companions) asked the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), what are the good deeds of the journey of Hajj?  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Feeding others and talking gently.

 

Translation of Hadith: Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah Ta'ala and did not talk to women about desires of the flesh and did not quarrel and/or abuse the fellow passengers, then while returning, that person will be so pure as if his mother has given birth to him on that very day.

 

Translation of Hadith: Offering 1 Raka'at in the Haram is like offering 100,000 Raka'at anywhere outside it and offering 1 Raka'at in my Masjid (Masjid Nabawi) is like offering 50,000 Raka'at anywhere outside it and offering 1 Raka'at in Bait Ul Muqaddis is like offering 25,000 Raka'at anywhere outside it.  Every good deed will be rewarded in this proportion only.

 

Translation of Hadith: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The person doing Jihaad and performing Hajj is a guest of Almighty Allah.  If they pray, their prayer will be accepted and if they ask for forgiveness (Maghfirah) from Almighty Allah, they will be forgiven.

 

Translation of Hadith:  The person who performs Hajj will perform intercession (shafa'at) of 400 of his relatives.  After performing the Hajj he will become so pure from his sins as if he is just born of his mother. 

 

Translation of Hadith: Angels shake hands with those Hajjis who go to Hajj using some means of conveyance and embrace those Hajjis who journey by foot

 

Translation of Hadith:  For the Hajj who is riding a camel (i.e. some means of conveyance), for every step, there are 70 virtues and for the Hajji who is on foot, for every step, there are 700 virtues.

 

Translation of Hadith:  When you meet a Hajji who has returned from Hajj, you first greet him with Salaam and shake hands and before that Hajji goes into his (or her) own house, request him (or her) to enter your house first, as the sins of that person have been forgiven.

 

Hadhrat Fudhail bin Ayaaz (May Allah shower His mercy on him) said: you should not go to the divine Mecca with Haraam and/or doubtful money.  With Allah Ta'ala, returning even a single dime of Haraam money, which one has gotten is better than five Hajj which you have performed from Haraam and/or doubtful money.
