Providing a mount for Hajj counts as in the cause of Allah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Abi Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) that his mother came into the noble presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Ma'qil had promised me that he would not perform Hajj without me, but he performed Hajj on his mount while I did not have the strength to walk. Then, when I asked him for part of the harvest of the date palms, he said that it is the food of his family; and when I asked him for a young camel that he had, he said that it is dedicated to the path of Allah (jihad) and he would not give it to me." At this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Abu Ma'qil! What is Umm Ma'qil saying?" He submitted: "Messenger of Allah! She has spoken the truth." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give her that young camel of yours, for Hajj is also included in the path of Allah Almighty." So he gave her that camel.
This narration is evidence that the blessed journey of Hajj is also counted among the deeds "fi sabilillah" (in the path of Allah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Taliq (may Allah be pleased with him) that his wife said to him, at a time when he had a camel and a she-camel: "Give me your camel so that I may perform Hajj on it." He replied that it was dedicated to the path of Allah Almighty. His wife said: "My performing Hajj riding on it is also a good deed in the path of Allah." But he refused. Then she said: "Very well, give me your she-camel, and you perform Hajj on your camel yourself." He replied: "I do not prefer anyone over myself." She said again: "Then give me something from your provisions for the journey." He replied: "I have nothing beyond the expenses of my own journey; had I had it, I would certainly have given it to you." At this his wife said: "Very well, when you meet the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), convey my greeting of salam (peace) to him, and tell him also what I have said to you." So when he came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he conveyed his wife's greeting to him and narrated the whole matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Umm Taliq has spoken the truth. Had you given her your camel, it would have been in the path of Allah; and had you given her your she-camel, that too would have been counted in the path of Allah; and had you given her something from your expenses, Allah Almighty would have granted you a better replacement for it." I submitted: "O Prophet of Allah! What deed equals Hajj?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Performing Umrah in Ramadan."
This blessed hadith makes clear the great point that providing a wife with financial or travel assistance in performing the obligation of Hajj carries a reward equal to jihad in the path of Allah; and also that the blessing of Umrah in the blessed month of Ramadan has been declared equal to Hajj in reward.
