The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 945 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ مَرَضٌ أَوْ خَالَطَهُ سَقَمٌ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْخُرُوجَ فَلْيُجَهِّزْ رَجُلاً مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ لْيَبْعَثْهُ مَكَانَهُ.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al- Qasim ibn Burayd from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, would say, ‘If a man wants to perform al-Hajj but illness or some other thing prevents him from going for al-Hajj, he must prepare (hire) a man with his assets and send him for al-Hajj in his place.’”
