حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْقُطَعِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مَوْلَى رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَاهِلِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ مَلَكَ زَادًا وَرَاحِلَةً تُبَلِّغُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ فَلاَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَمُوتَ يَهُودِيًّا أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ ‏:‏ ‏‏(‏وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً ‏)‏ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَقَالٌ ‏.‏ وَهِلاَلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَجْهُولٌ وَالْحَارِثُ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Quta'i al-Basri narrated to us: Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Hilal ibn Abd Allah, the freedman of Rabi'ah ibn Amr ibn Muslim al-Bahili, narrated to us: Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani narrated to us, from al-Harith, from Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Whoever has enough provision and a mount to carry him to the House of Allah, yet does not perform Hajj, may as well die a Jew or a Christian.’ This is because Allah says in His Book: ‘Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to Allah by all who can make their way to it.’

Abu Isa said: This is a gharib hadith. We know it only through this route, and there is criticism of its chain. Hilal ibn Abd Allah is unknown, and al-Harith is considered weak in hadith.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
