٢ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَثْعَمِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلَ حَفْصٌ الْكُنَاسِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلله عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً مَا يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ صَحِيحاً فِي بَدَنِهِ مُخَلًّى سَرْبُهُ لَهُ زَادٌ وَرَاحِلَةٌ فَهُوَ مِمَّنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ أَوْ قَالَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ حَفْصٌ الْكُنَاسِيُّ فَإِذَا كَانَ صَحِيحاً فِي بَدَنِهِ مُخَلًّى سَرْبُهُ لَهُ زَادٌ وَرَاحِلَةٌ فَلَمْ يَحُجَّ فَهُوَ مِمَّنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Khath’amiy who has said the following: “Hafs al-Kunasiy once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘It is obligatory upon people from Allah to perform al-Hajj who have the way (are able) to do so.’ (3:96) He (the Imam) said, ‘It means that one is physically safe, has supplies and transportation, then he has the way (is able) to perform al-Hajj or that he (the Imam) said that he is of the ones who is wealthy.’ Hafs al-Kunasiy then asked, ‘So if one is physically safe, free, has supplies, transportation and has not performed al-Hajj, is he of those who are able to perform al- Hajj? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, that is correct.’”
