4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ وَابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ مَاشِياً أَفْضَلُ أَوْ رَاكِباً قَالَ بَلْ رَاكِباً فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حَجَّ رَاكِباً.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Rifa‘ah and ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked about traveling for al-Hajj if on foot was more virtuous or riding. He (the Imam) said, ‘Riding is more virtuous because the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, traveled for al-Hajj riding.’”
