رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «اَلْمَحْصُورُ غَيْرُ اَلْمَصْدُودِ» وَ قَالَ «اَلْمَحْصُورُ هُوَ اَلْمَرِيضُ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي يَرُدُّهُ اَلْمُشْرِكُونَ كَمَا رَدُّوا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مَرَضٍ وَ اَلْمَصْدُودُ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ وَ اَلْمَحْصُورُ لاَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلنِّسَاءُ ».
Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: "The Mahsur (prevented) is not the same as the Masdood (barred)." Imam عليه السلام further said: "Mahsur refers to the sick person, while Masdood refers to one who is prevented by the polytheists, as they prevented the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions, not due to illness. The Masdood is permitted to engage with women, but the Mahsur is not permitted to engage with women."

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْمَحْصُورُ وَ اَلْمُضْطَرُّ يَنْحَرَانِ بَدَنَتَيْهِمَا فِي اَلْمَكَانِ اَلَّذِي يُضْطَرَّانِ فِيهِ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The Mahsur (prevented) and the Mudtarr (compelled) should slaughter their sacrificial camels in the place where they are compelled to stop."

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمَحْصُورِ وَ لَمْ يَسُقِ اَلْهَدْيَ قَالَ «يَنْسُكُ وَ يَرْجِعُ» قِيلَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً قَالَ «يَصُومُ ».
Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding the Mahsur (prevented) who did not bring a sacrificial animal. Imam عليه السلام said: "He performs his rites and returns." It was asked: "What if he cannot find a sacrificial animal?" Imam عليه السلام said: "He should fast."

وَ رَوَى رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «خَرَجَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مُعْتَمِراً وَ قَدْ سَاقَ بَدَنَةً حَتَّى اِنْتَهَى إِلَى اَلسُّقْيَا فَبُرْسِمَ فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ وَ نَحَرَهَا مَكَانَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَضَرَبَ اَلْبَابَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ « اِبْنِي وَ رَبِّ اَلْكَعْبَةِ اِفْتَحُوا لَهُ» وَ كَانُوا قَدْ حَمُّوا لَهُ اَلْمَاءَ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ اِعْتَمَرَ بَعْدُ ».
Rifa'ah ibn Musa narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Imam Hussain عليه السلام set out for Umrah and had brought along a sacrificial camel. When he reached Al-Suqya, he became ill and shaved his head and slaughtered the camel at that place. Then he proceeded until he arrived at home, knocked on the door, and Imam Ali عليه السلام said, 'By the Lord عز وجل of the Kaaba, it is my son. Open the door for him.' They had heated water for him, and he leaned over, drank from it, and later performed Umrah."
  • Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi
    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلَّذِي يَقُولُ حُلَّنِي حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي فَقَالَ «هُوَ حِلٌّ حَيْثُ حَبَسَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ أَ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ وَ لاَ يُسْقِطُ اَلاِشْتِرَاطُ عَنْهُ اَلْحَجَّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ ».
Hamzah ibn Humran asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the one who says, "Release me where You have prevented me." Imam عليه السلام replied: "He is released where Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, has prevented him." Then Imam عليه السلام added: "Doesn't he say that? However, making this condition does not exempt him from performing Hajj the following year."
