It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ‘Abd al-Mu’min from Dawud ibn Sulayman al-Jassas from ‘Adhafir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once asked, ‘What prevents you from performing Hajj every year?’ I replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; my dependents prevent me from performing Hajj.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you die who will be there for your dependents?

You should feed your dependents vinegar and oil and perform Hajj with them every year.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/127))
