6ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ غِلْمَانٍ لَنَا دَخَلُوا مَعَنَا مَكَّةَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَخَرَجُوا مَعَنَا إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ إِحْرَامٍ قَالَ قُلْ لَهُمْ يَغْتَسِلُونَ ثُمَّ يُحْرِمُونَ وَاذْبَحُوا عَنْهُمْ كَمَا تَذْبَحُونَ عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.
6. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of boys who have come with us to Makkah for al-‘Umrah and then to Arafat without assuming the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Instruct them to take Ghusl (bath), assume the state of Ihram, slaughter for them as you slaughter (the offering animal) for yourself.’”
