أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثني محمد بن يحيى، عن محمد بن أحمد، عن العبيدي، عن محمد بن سليمان البصري، عن الحسين بن عمر قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن رجلا أوصى إلي في السبيل. قال: فقال لي: اصرفه في الحج. قال: قلت: إنه أوصى إلي في السبيل. قال: اصرفه في الحج فإني لا أعرف سبيلا من سبله أفضل من الحج.
2. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: I was told by Muhammed bin Yahya, from Muhammed bin Ahmad, from al-‘Ubaydi, from Muhammed bin Sulayman al-Basri, from Hussain bin Umar, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: A man bequeathed to me (that I should spend his property) for the Path. He said: So he said to me: Spend it in pilgrimage. He said: I said: Indeed, he bequeathed to me for the Path. He said: Spend it in pilgrimage, for indeed, I do not know of a path from His Paths better than pilgrimage.
