أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ بِتَرِكَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحُجَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ لَا يَكْفِي لِلْحَجِّ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ وَ فُقَهَاءَ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالُوا تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا حَجَجْتُ لَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ فِي الطَّوَافِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ مَوَالِيكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَى بِتَرِكَتِهِ إِلَيَّ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحُجَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَكْفِ لِلْحَجِّ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ قِبَلَنَا مِنَ الْفُقَهَاءِ فَقَالُوا تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا فَتَصَدَّقْتُ بِهَا فَمَا تَقُولُ فَقَالَ لِي هَذَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْحِجْرِ فَأْتِهِ وَ سَلْهُ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْحِجْرَ فَإِذَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ مُقْبِلٌ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ يَدْعُو ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَرَآنِي فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مِنْ مَوَالِيكُمْ قَالَ فَدَعْ ذَا عَنْكَ حَاجَتُكَ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَى بِتَرِكَتِهِ أَنْ أَحُجَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَكْفِ لِلْحَجِّ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ الْفُقَهَاءِ فَقَالُوا تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا فَقَالَ مَا صَنَعْتَ قُلْتُ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهَا فَقَالَ ضَمِنْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَا يَبْلُغُ أَنْ يُحَجَّ بِهِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَبْلُغُ أَنْ يُحَجَّ بِهِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ضَمَانٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَأَنْتَ ضَامِنٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Hameed Bin Ziyad, from Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad, both together from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Zayd Al Narsy, from Ali Bin Farqad, from Saahib Al Sabiry who said, ‘A man bequeathed to me with what he left and ordered me that I should perform Hajj with it on his behalf. So I looked into that, so it was something small, not sufficient for the Hajj. So I asked Abu Haneefa and the jurists of the people of Al-Kufa. So they said, ‘Give charity with it on his behalf. So when I went for Hajj, I met Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan during the circumambulation. So I asked him and said to him that a man your friends from the people of Al-Kufa died and bequeathed to me with what he left to me, and ordered me that I should go to Hajj with it on his behalf. So I looked into that, but it was not sufficient for the Hajj. So I asked the jurists from our area, so they said, ‘Give charity with it’. So I gave charity with it. So what are you saying?’ So he said to me, ‘This here is Ja’far Bin Muhammad<sup>asws</sup> at the (Black) Stone, so go over to him<sup>asws</sup> and ask him<sup>asws</sup>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went over to the (Black) Stone, so there was Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> beneath the groove, facing with his<sup>asws</sup> face towards the House (Kabah), supplicating. Then he<sup>asws</sup> turned towards me, so he<sup>asws</sup> saw me, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is your need?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I am a man from Al-Kufa, from the ones in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Leave that. What is your need?’ I said, ‘A man died and bequeathed to me with his legacy that I should go to Hajj with it on his behalf. So, I looked into that, but it was no sufficient for the Hajj. So I asked the ones who are in our presence, from the jurists, so they said, ‘Give in charity with it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What did you do?’ I said, ‘I gave in charity with it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You are responsible, except if it happened not to be sufficient to perform Hajj with it from Makkah. So if it did not reach that (sufficiency) that you could have performed Hajj with it from Makkah, so there is no responsibility upon you, and if it was so that it reached (the sufficiency) to perform Hajj with it from Makkah, so you are responsible’.
