٥ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُفْرِدِ السَّائِقِ للهدْيِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ يَدْخُلُ الْحَاجُّ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُتْعَةِ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, al-Thaniy , has said that abu Ja‘far , would say, “Those who come out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until commencing acts of al-Hajj are better than those performing al-Hajj alone driving the offering animal with them.” He (the Imam) would say, ‘There is not anything better in acts of al-Hajj than al-Mut £ ah (coming out of the state of Ihram after al- £ Umrah until the commencement of the acts of al-Hajj).”’
