حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَابِعُوا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَنْفِيَانِ الْفَقْرَ وَالذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَلَيْسَ لِلْحَجَّةِ الْمَبْرُورَةِ ثَوَابٌ إِلاَّ الْجَنَّةُ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ .
Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) narrated that: The Messenger Of Allah Said: "Alternate Between Hajj And Umrah; For Those Two Remove Poverty And Sins Just As The Bellows Removes Filth From Iron, Gold, And Silver - And There Is No Reward For Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur Except For Paradise."
[1] They say that the Al-Hajj Al-Mabrūr is the accepted Hajj , and it is said that it is the Hajj that is performed without sin. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi .Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 810In-book reference : Book 9, Hadith 2English translation : Vol. 2, Book 4, Hadith 810
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 810
This Hadith about Hajj and Umrah removing sins gives a strong encouragement to perform both acts of worship. Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to alternate between Hajj and Umrah, because they remove poverty and sins like the bellows remove filth from iron, gold, and silver. The image is simple and powerful: just as heat and air clean metal from impurity, these acts are described as a means of cleansing. The Hadith also states that there is no reward for al-Hajj al-Mabrur except Paradise. Since the text mentions both poverty and sins, the explanation should keep both together and avoid adding conditions not mentioned here.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hajj and Umrah are encouraged together in this narration.
- They are described as removing poverty and sins.
- Al-Hajj al-Mabrur is linked in the text with Paradise.
