رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْضِي عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ اَلْحَجَّ هَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ إِحْرَامِهِ بَعْدَ مَا يُحْرِمُ اَللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصَابَنِي فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا مِنْ نَصَبٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ بَلاَءٍ أَوْ شَعَثٍ فَأْجُرْ فُلاَناً فِيهِ وَ أْجُرْنِي فِي قَضَائِي عَنْهُ ».
Ibn Muskan narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a man performing Hajj on behalf of his brother, his father, or another person. Should he say anything specific? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, after entering into Ihram, he should say: 'O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, whatever hardship, difficulty, trial, or dishevelment I experience during this journey, grant its reward to [the person on whose behalf the Hajj is performed], and reward me for fulfilling it on their behalf.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 165
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ، فَائْتِ الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَقُلْ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلَانٍ.
In a narration from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "If you wish to perform Tawaf around the Ka'bah on behalf of one of your brothers, go to the Black Stone and say: 'In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, accept this from [the name of the person].'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 165
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَحُجُّ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِهِ قَالَ «اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لاَ تَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ.
It was narrated from al-Bazanti that a man asked Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal عليه السلام about a person performing Hajj on behalf of another. Should he mention that person's name explicitly? Imam عليه السلام replied: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, is not unaware of anything."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 165
وَ رَوَى مُثَنَّى بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلسَّلاَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَحُجُّ عَنِ اَلْإِنْسَانِ يَذْكُرُهُ فِي اَلْمَوَاطِنِ كُلِّهَا قَالَ «إِنْ شَاءَ فَعَلَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ اَللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَجَّ عَنْهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَذْكُرُهُ عِنْدَ اَلْأُضْحِيَّةِ إِذَا هُوَ ذَبَحَهَا».
It was narrated from Muthanna ibn Abdul-Salam, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a person performing Hajj on behalf of someone else. Should he mention that person’s name at every station? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he wishes, he may do so, and if he wishes, he may not. Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows that he has performed Hajj on their behalf. However, he should mention the person's name when offering the sacrifice (udhiyah) at the time of slaughter."
