Reward of Hajj and Umrah - 2

Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) says,

"Allah, the Blessed and the High, has positioned one hundred twenty bounties around Mecca. Out of that sixty are for those who perform circumambulation, forty for those who offer Salaat and twenty for the spectators."

A person came to Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.). Imam (a.s.) asked him, "Are you returning from Hajj?"
"Yes," he replied.
Imam (a.s.) asked, "Do you know the reward of a Hajj pilgrim?"
He replied, "May I be sacrificed for you, I don't know."
Imam (a.s.) said,

"Every pilgrim should enter Mecca for Hajj with extreme humility. When he enters Masjidul Haraam, he should
take small steps out of the fear of Allah. He should perform circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba and offer two rakat Salaat. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would note seventy thousand rewards for him, wipe his seventy thousand sins, increase his position seventy thousand levels, fulfill his seventy thousand wishes and grant him the reward of freeing seventy thousand slaves each costing ten thousand dirhams."
