1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ كَبِيرٍ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُجَهِّزَ رَجُلاً ثُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ عَنْكَ.
