It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform Hajj and Umrah repeatedly, for indeed both of them eliminate and remove poverty and sins just as a furnace removes the rust of gold, silver, and iron, and there is no reward for an accepted Hajj except Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs Hajj in such a way that he neither has lawful intercourse with his wife nor commits any sin, he will return from Hajj as pure as the day his mother gave birth to him.

He asked: Have the hooves of your camels worn down due to the hardship of the long journey? They replied, yes. He asked: Have the backs of your camels become wounded? They said, yes. He said: If your answer is yes, then you have returned with your deeds (and if your answer had been no, then you would have been at a loss).
