3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الأَحْوَلِ بِدَرَاهِمَ وَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَحُجَّ بِهَا فَلْيَحُجَّ وَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهَا فَلْيُنْفِقْهَا قَالَ فَأَنْفَقَهَا وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُنَا لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُمُ الشَّيْخَ فَقِيهاً.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “‘Umar ibn Yazid sent me to abu Ja’far al-Ahwal with a certain amount of dirham and asked me to tell him to perform al-Hajj with it if he wanted, or if he wanted to benefit in other ways, he can do so. He spent it for other things and did not perform al-Hajj . Certain persons of our people mentioned it to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and he (the Imam) said, ‘You have found a faqih (knowledgeable in matters of Shari ‘ah) shaykh.’”

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْبَجَلِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَا سَيِّدِي إِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَصُومَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ تَصُومُ بِهَا إِنْ شَاءَ الله قُلْتُ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ خُرُوجُنَا فِي عَشْرٍ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ وَقَدْ عَوَّدَ الله زِيَارَةَ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَزِيَارَتَكَ فَرُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَرُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ أَبِي وَرُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي وَرُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ نَفْسِي فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي مُقِيمٌ بِمَكَّةَ مُنْذُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Musa ibn al-Qasim al-Bajaliy who has said the following: “I once said to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), ‘My master, I hope to fast during the month of Ramadan in al-Madinah.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You will do so by the will of Allah.’ I then said, ‘I hope to leave by the tenth of the month of Shawwal after visiting the Messenger of Allah, his family and yourself, may Allah grant me such opportunity again. I sometimes perform al-Hajj on behalf of your father or on behalf of my father, or on behalf of a man from our brothers (in belief) or perform al-Hajj for myself. How should I perform such al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You should perform al-Hajj in al- Tamattu‘ manner.’ I then said, ‘I am a resident of Makkah for the past twenty years.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You should perform al-Hajj in al-Tamattu‘ manner.’”

2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَطُوفَ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ أَبِيكَ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ الأَوْصِيَاءَ لا يُطَافُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لِي بَلْ طُفْ مَا أَمْكَنَكَ فَإِنَّهُ جَائِزٌ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِثَلاثِ سِنِينَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُكَ فِي الطَّوَافِ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ أَبِيكَ فَأَذِنْتَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ فَطُفْتُ عَنْكُمَا مَا شَاءَ الله ثُمَّ وَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي شَيْ‏ءٌ فَعَمِلْتُ بِهِ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ قُلْتُ طُفْتُ يَوْماً عَنْ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ صَلَّى الله عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ثُمَّ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ طُفْتُ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَالرَّابِعَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَالْخَامِسَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) وَالسَّادِسَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) وَالْيَوْمَ السَّابِعَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) وَالْيَوْمَ الثَّامِنَ عَنْ أَبِيكَ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَالْيَوْمَ التَّاسِعَ عَنْ أَبِيكَ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَالْيَوْمَ الْعَاشِرَ عَنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَهَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ أَدِينُ الله بِوَلايَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِذَنْ وَالله تَدِينَ الله بِالدِّينِ الَّذِي لا يَقْبَلُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ غَيْرَهُ قُلْتُ وَرُبَّمَا طُفْتُ عَنْ أُمِّكَ فَاطِمَةَ (عَلَيْها السَّلاَم) وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ أَطُفْ فَقَالَ اسْتَكْثِرْ مِنْ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ مَا أَنْتَ عَامِلُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ الله.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from al-Hassan al-Kufiy from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Musa al-Qasim who has said the following: “I once said to abu Ja‘far, the second ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I want to perform Tawaf on your behalf and on behalf of your father.’ It was said to me, ‘Tawaf is not performed on behalf of the executors of the will (of the Messenger of Allah).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Perform Tawaf as much as you can; it is permissible.’ I then after three years said, to him, ‘I had sought permission from you to perform Tawaf on your behalf and on behalf of your father and you had granted permission. I then performed Tawaf on behalf of both of you as much as Allah willed. I then said, ‘Then something came to my mind and I then did something accordingly.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What did you do?’ I then replied, ‘I one day performed Tawaf on behalf of the Messenger of Allah; he (the Imam) said three times, “O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad worthy of his services to your cause).” I then on the second day performed Tawaf on behalf of ’Amir al-Mu’minin. On the third day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of al-Hassan (a.s.). On the fourth day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of al-Husayn (a.s.). On the fifth day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of Ali ibn al- Husayn. On the sixth day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of abu Ja’far; on the seventh day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of Ja’far ibn Muhammad. On the eighth day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of your grandfather, Musa ibn Ja’far. On the ninth day, I performed Tawaf on behalf of your father. On the tenth day, I performed Tawaf on your behalf, O my master. These are those whose divine authority is part of my religion in obedience to Allah.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The religion you have followed in obedience to Allah is the one beside which no other religion is accepted from the servants (of Allah).’ I then said, ‘I may have performed Tawaf on behalf of your mother, Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, also, or may not have done so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You should do so very often; this is better than what you may do, by the will of Allah.’”

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أُشْرِكُ أَبَوَيَّ فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أُشْرِكُ إِخْوَتِي فِي حَجَّتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَاعِلٌ لَكَ حَجّاً وَلَهُمْ حَجّاً وَلَكَ أَجْرٌ لِصِلَتِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ قُلْتُ فَأَطُوفُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَهُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ تَقُولُ حِينَ تَفْتَتِحُ الطَّوَافَ اللهمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلانٍ الَّذِي تَطُوفُ عَنْهُ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ’Can I perform al-Hajj and consider my father as my partner in it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can I perform al-Hajj and consider my brothers as my partner in it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, you can do so; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, will make one al-Hajj for you and one al-Hajj for them, besides the reward for you because of maintaining good relations with them.’ I then asked, ‘Can I perform al-Hajj and consider a man or woman in al-Kufah as my partner in it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘You can do so. At the beginning of such Tawaf say, “O Allah, accept it from so and so,” mention the person on whose behalf it is.”’”

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ إِلْيَاسَ قَالَ حَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا صَرُورَةٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ حَجَّتِي عَنْ أُمِّي فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ مَاتَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ لَكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ إِلْيَاسُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا صَرُورَةٌ وَقَدْ مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ حَجَّتَهُ لَهَا أَ فَيَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يُكْتَبُ لَهُ وَلَهَا وَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ أَجْرُ الْبِرِّ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from certain persons of our people from ‘Amr ibn ’Ilyas who has said the following: “I performed al-Hajj with my father and I was al-Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time). I said that I like to perform al-Hajj for my mother who was dead. He said allow me to ask abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about it. ’Ilyas then spoke about it with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was listening. ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, my son, this one, is al- Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time). His mother has died and he likes to perform al- Hajj for her, if it is permissible. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘It will be written for him and for her and for him a reward for kindness will also be recorded.’”

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي لِيَ ابْنَةٌ قَيِّمَةٌ لِي عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَهِيَ عَاتِقٌ أَ فَأَجْعَلُ لَهَا حَجَّتِي قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَهَا أَجْرُهَا وَيَكُونُ لَكَ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَلا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “I once went to visit abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah also came and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. I have a daughter who looks after every one of my things and she is the first one. Can I assign my al-Hajj for her? He (the Imam) said, ‘The reward for al-Hajj will be for her and you will have a similar reward without any reduction in her reward.’”

4ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَحُجُّ فَيَجْعَلُ حَجَّتَهُ وَعُمْرَتَهُ أَوْ بَعْضَ طَوَافِهِ لِبَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ غَائِبٌ بِبَلَدٍ آخَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَيَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ قَالَ لا هِيَ لَهُ وَلِصَاحِبِهِ وَلَهُ أَجْرٌ سِوَى ذَلِكَ بِمَا وَصَلَ قُلْتُ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ هَلْ يَدْخُلُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُ مَسْخُوطاً عَلَيْهِ فَيُغْفَرُ لَهُ أَوْ يَكُونُ مُضَيَّقاً عَلَيْهِ فَيُوَسَّعُ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَيَعْلَمُ هُوَ فِي مَكَانِهِ أَنَّ عَمَلَ ذَلِكَ لَحِقَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ نَاصِباً يَنْفَعُهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُ.

4. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who assigns his al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah or part of his Tawaf for his family who is absent in some other land; if it reduces from his reward. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is for him and his companion, and he will have additional rewards because of maintaining good relation.’ I then asked, ‘If that party is dead will it reach him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, even if that party is subject to anger, he will be forgiven or if he is under pressure, he will be relieved.’ I then asked, ‘Will he notice that such a deed has approached him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he will notice.’ I then asked, ‘Even if he is hostile to ’A’immah, will it benefit him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it will provide him relief.’”

5ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَأَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدَ مَا رَجَعْتُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنِ ابْنَتِي قَالَ فَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ لَهَا الآنَ.

5. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from al- Harith ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), in al-Madinah after my return from Makkah that I wanted to assign my al-Hajj for my daughter. He (the Imam) said, ‘Assign it for her now.’”

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الرَّجُلِ يُشْرِكُ أَبَاهُ وَأَخَاهُ وَقَرَابَتَهُ فِي حَجِّهِ فَقَالَ إِذاً يُكْتَبَ لَكَ حَجٌّ مِثْلُ حَجِّهِمْ وَتُزْدَادَ أَجْراً بِمَا وَصَلْتَ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about assigning a share of one’s al-Hajj for his father, brother or relatives. He (the Imam) said, ‘Obviously, al-Hajj will be written for you like their al-Hajj, in addition to the reward for your maintaining good relation, with relatives.’”

7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَنْ وَصَلَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ ذَا قَرَابَةٍ لَهُ فَطَافَ عَنْهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ كَامِلاً وَلِلَّذِي طَافَ عَنْهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ وَيُفَضَّلُ هُوَ بِصِلَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ بِطَوَافٍ آخَرَ وَقَالَ مَنْ حَجَّ فَجَعَلَ حَجَّتَهُ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ يَصِلُهُ بِهَا كَانَتْ حَجَّتُهُ كَامِلَةً وَكَانَ لِلَّذِي حَجَّ عَنْهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاسِعٌ لِذَلِكَ.

7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ibn abu Nasr, from Ali ibn abu Hamzah, from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘For keeping good relations if one joins his father or relatives in the reward of performing Tawaf, he receives his reward completely; and one, for whom Tawaf is made, receives his reward, and for keeping good relations, there is additional reward like one more Tawaf.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one performs al-Hajj and assigns the reward for it to a relative, he will have the reward for a complete al-Hajj and a similar reward is for one on whose behalf al-Hajj is performed. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, is the one who expands such a reward.’”
