Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مُعْسِراً أَحَجَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَجَّةٌ فَإِنْ أَيْسَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَجُّ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلنَّاصِبُ إِذَا عَرَفَ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْحَجُّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ حَجَّ ».
Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "If an impoverished man is sent for Hajj by another person, it will count as a Hajj for him. However, if he later becomes financially capable, Hajj will still be obligatory upon him. Similarly, a Nasibi (one who opposes the Ahlulbayt), if he comes to recognize the truth, Hajj becomes obligatory upon him, even if he had already performed it previously."
