Chapter on Delegating Hajj to Someone Who Undertakes it
وَ رَوَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُطَهَّرٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي دَفَعْتُ إِلَى سِتَّةِ أَنْفُسٍ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ دِينَاراً لِيَحُجُّوا بِهَا فَرَجَعُوا وَ لَمْ يَشْخَصْ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ أَتَانِي بَعْضٌ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَنْفَقَ بَعْضَ اَلدَّنَانِيرِ وَ بَقِيَتْ بَقِيَّةٌ وَ أَنَّهُ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ مَا بَقِيَ وَ إِنِّي قَدْ رُمْتُ مُطَالَبَةَ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِنِي بِمَا دَفَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «لاَ تَعَرَّضْ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِكَ وَ لاَ تَأْخُذْ مِمَّنْ أَتَاكَ شَيْئاً مِمَّا يَأْتِيكَ بِهِ وَ اَلْأَجْرُ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ».
Sa'd ibn Abdullah narrated from Musa ibn al-Hasan, from Abu Ali Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Mutahhar, who said: “I wrote to Abu Muhammad عليه السلام: "I gave 150 dinars to six people so they could perform Hajj. Some of them returned without departing for Hajj, and some came to me, stating that they had spent part of the money and still had some remaining, which they intended to return to me. I have considered demanding what I gave to those who did not return to me." Imam عليه السلام wrote back: "Do not pursue those who did not return to you, and do not take anything from those who came back with what they had. The reward is already with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted."
