It is narrated from Nafi‘ that a man came to Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: A person has made a bequest to me to give a she-camel in the way of Allah, and this is not a time of jihad; can I send it for Hajj? Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Hajj and ‘Umrah are included in the way of Allah.

It is narrated from Waqid bin Muhammad bin Zaid bin Abdullah bin Umar that a man made a will to spend his wealth in the way of Allah. The one to whom the will was made asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Give it to the workers of Allah. He asked: Who are the workers of Allah? He replied: Those who perform Hajj of the House of Allah (the Ka'bah).
