The Case of a Person Who Dies During His First al-Hajj, or One Who Has Made a Will to Perform al-Hajj in His Behalf

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سُوَيْدٍ الْقَلاَّءِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْدَعَنِي مَالاً فَهَلَكَ وَلَيْسَ لِوُلْدِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الإِسْلامِ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْهُ وَمَا فَضَلَ فَأَعْطِهِمْ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Suwayd al-Qala’ from Ayyub from Burayd al- ‘ Ij liy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who left a certain amount in deposit with me and he died. His sons do not have anything and he had not performed Hajjahta al-Islam. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform al-Hajj on his behalf and whatever is left, give it to his heirs.”’
