Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَمَرَ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَطُّ وَ لَمْ يُطِقِ اَلْحَجَّ لِكِبَرِهِ أَنْ يُجَهِّزَ رَجُلاً يَحُجُّ عَنْهُ ».
Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام instructed an elderly man who had never performed Hajj and was unable to do so due to his old age to arrange for someone to perform Hajj on his behalf."
