Hadith 1065
۞
9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Sama‘ah who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who instructed his slaves to perform al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must offer al-Hady (sacrifice) for them.’ I then said, ‘He gave them dirham. Certain ones among them offered sacrifice and others kept the dirham and fasted.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is sufficient for them and he has the choice; if he wants he can leave them (dirham) alone. If he were to instruct them to fast, it would have been sufficient.’”
9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَمَرَ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعُوا قَالَ
عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ دَرَاهِمَ فَبَعْضُهُمْ ضَحَّى وَبَعْضُهُمْ أَمْسَكَ الدَّرَاهِمَ وَصَامَ قَالَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمْ وَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهَا قَالَ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَهُمْ وَصَامُوا كَانَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمْ.
