A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu Ayyub from Sa‘d al-Iskaf who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) say, ‘When a pilgrim prepares his supplies for Hajj, for every step that he walks for the preparation, Allah, the Most Majestic and Most Glorious, writes down for him ten good deeds, deletes ten sins and raises for him ten degrees until his preparation is complete, whenever it happens. When his animal for transportation moves, for every step lifted up or placed on the ground, Allah, the Most Majestic and Most Glorious, writes down for him the same number of good deeds until all of the acts of Hajj are complete, at which point Allah forgives his sins.
