حدثنا أبو علي الحافظ ثنا محمد بن الحسين بن حفص الخثعمي ثنا علي بن سعيد بن مسروق الكندي ثنا عيسى بن سوادة عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن زاذان قال مرض بن عباس مرضا شديدا فدعا ولده فجمعهم فقال سمعت رسول الله  صلى الله عليه وسلم  يقول من حج من مكة ماشيا حتى يرجع إلى مكة كتب الله له بكل خطوة سبع مائة حسنة كل حسنة مثل حسنات الحرم قيل وما حسنات الحرم قال بكل حسنة مائة ألف حسنة

Zadhan stated: “Once ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas became very sick and he called his children. So, they gathered and Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘I heard God’s Messenger say: “He who goes on foot to offer the hajj from Makkah and then returns, God writes for him the reward of seven hundred deeds for every step he took with each deed equivalent to the deeds of Haram.” When he was asked: “What are the deeds of Haram?” He replied: “Each has a reward of hundred thousand deeds.”’”1

Following is the schematic illustration of the isnad of this narrative’s variants:

Regarding ‘Īsa ibn Sawadah ibn al-Ja‘d, Ibn Abi Hatim says that he is munkar al-hadith da‘if; while referring to the narrative under discussion, he says that it is munkar.2 Ibn Ma‘in says that he is a liar.3 Al-Bayhaqi says that he is majhul.4
