Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 40
2ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأَوَّلِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ يَسْتَقْرِضُ الرَّجُلُ وَيَحُجُّ إِذَا كَانَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ مَا يُؤَدَّى عَنْهُ إِذَا حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
2. Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from Musa ibn Bakr who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about one’s borrowing for expenses of al-Hajj, if behind him there is an asset that can pay off the loan, in case something happens to him. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”
