1157. hadíth
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ اَلنَّبَّالِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ وَالِدَتِي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ لَمْ تَحُجَّ قَالَ «يَحُجُّ عَنْهَا رَجُلٌ أَوِ اِمْرَأَةٌ» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيُّهُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ «رَجُلٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ ».
It was narrated from Basheer al-Nabbal, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "My mother passed away and did not perform Hajj." Imam (a.s) said: "A man or a woman may perform Hajj on her behalf." I asked: "Which is more preferable to you?" Imam (a.s) said: "A man is more preferable to me."
