Follow up between (the performance) of Hajj and ʿUmrah for they remove poverty and sins just like the bellow (of the furnace) removes the dross from iron, gold and silver. And a righteous Hajj has no other reward but Paradise.[1]

From the fruits of frequent performance of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah are the removal of poverty, the removal of sins and entry into Paradise.
