13. Abu Ali ai-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd af-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from ‘Amir ibn ‘Amirah who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of the issue that I had heard from him (the Imam) and he (the Imam) had said, ‘If a man dies owing Hajjahta al-Islam and a certain relative performs al-Hajj on his behalf it is sufficient.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, I can testify that my father (a.s.), narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, that a man came to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, my father has died without performing al-Hajj.” The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘Perform al-Hajj on his behalf; it is sufficient for him.’”
13ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ فَحَجَّ عَنْهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِهِ أَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَشْهَدُ بِهَا عَنْ أَبِي أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حُجَّ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ.
