Do you know that if the man comes out from his house with lawful provisions, and a camel rented lawfully, intending this House, he could get cut off (by bandits) on the road, and his provisions would be lost and he could be injured due to that?’ Qatada said, ‘O Allah -azwj , Yes!’ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَيْحَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ إِنْ كُنْتَ إِنَّمَا فَسَّرْتَ الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكْتَ وَ أَهْلَكْتَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَهُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَقَدْ هَلَكْتَ وَ أَهْلَكْتَ So Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘Woe be unto you!
But rather, you are explaining the Quran from your own self, so you are destroyed and causing others to be destroyed. And if you have taken it from the men (others), you have been destroyed and so have they.
(But) that is for the one who comes out from his house with provisions, and lawful means of transportation aspiring for this House while having recognised our -asws rights, loving us -asws with his heart, just as Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37] and it does not mean the House, for He -azwj is Saying ‘towards them’.
So we -asws are, by Allah -azwj , the (Answered) supplication of Ibrahim -as towards whom -asws if one loves with one’s heart, his Hajj would be Accepted, otherwise it will not be, O Qatada! So when it will be the Day of Judgment, he would be secure from the Punishment of Hell on the Day of Judgment’.
