Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Kabsha Bara bin Qais Sukooni, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I was sitting with Hazrat Saad, may Allah be pleased with him, and he was narrating to his companions. At the end of his narration, he said that Allah intends ease for you; Allah does not intend hardship for you. By God! By God! One expedition in the path of Allah is superior to performing Hajj twice; one Hajj, in my view, is better than performing Umrah twice, and one Umrah, in my view, is better than going to Bayt al-Maqdis three times.
