It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to participate in jihad, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your best and most beautiful jihad is Hajj." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that after hearing this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I will never abandon Hajj.
