Chapter on Virtues of Hajj

Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ مَنْ حَجَّ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ، اَللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصَابَنِي مِنْ نَصَبٍ أَوْ تَعَبٍ أَوْ شَعَثٍ فَآجِرْ فِيهِ فُلاَناً وَ آجِرْنِي فِي قَضَائِي عَنْهُ ». وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ يَذْكُرُهُ إِذَا ذَبَحَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَالِمٌ بِالْخَفِيَّاتِ وَ مَنْ وَصَلَ قَرِيباً بِحَجَّةٍ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ حَجَّتَيْنِ وَ عُمْرَتَيْنِ وَ كَذَلِكَ مَنْ حَمَلَ عَنْ حَمِيمٍ يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ اَلْأَجْرُ ضِعْفَيْنِ ».
Whoever performs Hajj on behalf of another should say: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, whatever hardship, fatigue, or dishevelment I experience, reward so-and-so for it and reward me for fulfilling it on their behalf." It has also been narrated: "They should mention the name of the person on whose behalf they are performing the Hajj when they slaughter the sacrificial animal. However, if they do not say anything, there is no blame upon them, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, knows all that is hidden." Whoever gifts a Hajj or Umrah to a relative, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, records for them the reward of two Hajj and two Umrah. Likewise, whoever performs Hajj or Umrah on behalf of a close friend, their reward is doubled.
