1154. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَارِثٍ بَيَّاعِ اَلْأَنْمَاطِ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِحَجَّةٍ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ صَرُورَةً فَهِيَ مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ فَهِيَ مِنَ اَلثُّلُثِ».

It was narrated from Harith, the seller of mats, that Abu Abdullah (a.s) was asked about a man who had instructed in his will that a Hajj be performed on his behalf. Imam (a.s) said: "If he was a ṣarūra (someone who had not performed the Hajj of Islam), it should be taken from the principal of his estate, as it is a debt upon him. But if he had already performed Hajj, it should be taken from one-third of his estate."
