8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Shihab who has said the following
“A man set free his slave in the evening of the day of ‘Arafah (ninth of Dhul Hajjah); if the slave’s al- Hajj is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not sufficient.’ I then asked, ‘Will he receive any reward for it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he receives rewards.’ I asked about a ten-years old boy and his al-Hajj. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘He owes Hajjahta al-Islam when he grows to adulthood and so also is the case of a young girl.’”
8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ عَبْداً لَهُ أَ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَأُمُّ وَلَدٍ أَحَجَّهَا مَوْلاهَا أَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا قَالَ لا قُلْتُ أَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ فِي حَجَّتِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ يَحُجُّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّةُ الإِسْلامِ إِذَا احْتَلَمَ وَكَذَلِكَ الْجَارِيَةُ عَلَيْهَا الْحَجُّ إِذَا طَمِثَتْ.
