All those who have not yet performed Hajj inspite of its obligation upon them, please hurry, life is very unreliable and its end is very near.
Hilaal Ibn ‘Abdullaah narrated that the Prophet Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “He who possess enough food for the trip, a means of transportation to reach to Makkah, and yet does not perform Hajj, then he dies, he would then die as a Jew or a Christian” (At-Tirmithi, Al-Bazzaar, and others).
Abu Umaamah narrated that the Prophet Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “He who was not prevented by a valid excuse, sickness, or an oppressive ruler, yet did not perform Hajj, will die as a Jew or a Christian” (Ad-Daarimi, AlBayhaqi, and others).
O Muslims! Our great religion encourages us to rush in performing Hajj and not to delay nor postpone it. Ibn ‘Abbaas narrated that the Prophet Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: “Rush into performing Hajj because one does not know what might happen to him”. (Ahmad & Al-Baihaqi). His saying “… one does not know what might happen to him” means that new things may arise that would prevent a person from performing it, as he said in the following Hadeeth: “Let one who intends Hajj hurry, because he might get sick, might find his way to Hajj, or something might occur that would prevent him from performing Hajj” (Ahmad, Ibn Maajah, and others).
Can they guarantee not to become too sick, or die before that?
Do they have an agreement with the angel of death to delay their time until they perform it?
What are they waiting for?
Our Prophet Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said as narrated by Ibn ’Abbaas: “Take advantage of five things before five other things occur, your youth before you become old, your health before you become sick, you wealth before you become poor, your spare time before you become busy, and your life before death” (Al-Haakim, Ibn Al-Mubaarak, and others).

Now, to address those who are lazy and negligent and delay this
obligation although they have the means and are in good health:
What guarantees do they have that they will not become too old or
maybe even die before they perform Hajj?
Can they guarantee to continue being wealthy enough to perform it?
Can they guarantee not to become too sick, or die before that?
Do they have an agreement with the angel of death to delay their time until they perform it?
What are they waiting for?
