Hadith 1362
۞
Hadith.2928 - Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar wrote to Abu Muhammad (as):
"I inform you, my master, that your servant Ali ibn Mahziyar instructed in his will that Hajj be performed on his behalf from a property, a quarter of which he dedicated for this purpose, allocating one Hajj every year with twenty dinars. However, since the route to Basra has been cut off, the expenses for travel have significantly increased, and twenty dinars are no longer sufficient. Similarly, several of your followers have made wills for two Hajj pilgrimages."
Imam (as) wrote back: "Combine three Hajj pilgrimages into two, God willing."
2928 - وَ كَتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أُعْلِمُكَ يَا مَوْلاَيَ أَنَّ مَوْلاَكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مَهْزِيَارَ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ ضَيْعَةٍ صَيَّرَ رُبُعَهَا لَكَ حَجَّةٌ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ بِعِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً وَ إِنَّهُ
مُنْذُ اِنْقَطَعَ طَرِيقُ اَلْبَصْرَةِ تَضَاعَفَتِ اَلْمَئُونَةُ عَلَى اَلنَّاسِ فَلَيْسَ يَكْتَفُونَ بِعِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً وَ كَذَلِكَ أَوْصَى عِدَّةٌ مِنْ مَوَالِيكَ فِي حَجَّتَيْنِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «يُجْعَلُ ثَلاَثُ حِجَجٍ حَجَّتَيْنِ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».
