Hadith Number Thirteen:
Hazrat Abu Hurairah R.A. reports that Rasulullah (Salallaho Alaihi Wassallam) said: “whoever sets forth in a journey to perform Hajj and passes away on route, for him shall be written the reward of a Haaji until the day of Qiyaamat; and whoever sets forth to perform Umrah and passes away on route, for him shall be written the reward of a Mu’tair until Qiyaamat; and whoever sets forth on a journey to fight in the way of Allah and passes away on route, for him shall be written the reward of a Mujaahid until the day of Qiyaamat.”
Such is the reward of Hajj. We look at two further Ahaadith in this respect. In Targheeb we read: “When a person sets forth to perform Hajj or Umrah and passes away on route, he shall not be brought (before Allah) for judgment, nor will he have to give account. It shall be said to him: “Enter into Paradise.” (Targheeb)
In another Hadith it is stated: “The House of Allah is one of the Pillars of Islam.” Whoever sets forth from his house to perform Hajj or Umrah and dies on the way, shall enter paradise; and whoever returns after having performed it, returns with great reward and wealth. Wealth here means that he shall in this world be reimbursed with that which he spent. (see the discussion on Hadith No. 10)
In one Hadith it is stated: “Whoever passes away on the way to Mecca for Hajj or on the way back shall not be brought forth for judgment, nor shall he be reckoned with.” (Targheeb)
In one Hadith it is said: “Whoever passes away on route to Mecca for Hajj or Umrah, shall not be judged, neither shall be reckoned with. He shall directly enter paradise. (Kanz)
In one Hadith it is said: “The most manner for a person in which to die is when he dies after having completed his Hajj or after fasting during Ramadhaan.” (Kanz) In both these cases he dies having been cleansed from sin.
In one Hadith it is stated: “Whosoever passes away while in ihraam, shall rise up from his grave o the day of Qiyaamat, reciting labbaik.”
