عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ دَرَاهِمَ فَبَعْضُهُمْ ضَحَّى وَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَمْسَكَ الدَّرَاهِمَ وَ صَامَ قَالَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمْ وَ هُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهَا قَالَ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَهُمْ وَ صَامُوا كَانَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, (It has been narrated) from Sama’at who asked about a man who ordered his servants that they should be performing <span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span>, he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is upon him that he should sacrifice on their behalf’. I said, ‘Supposing if he was to give them the Dirhams, and some of them were to sacrifice, and some of them were to withhold the Dirhams and Fast?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It would suffice him from them, and he would be with the choice, if he so desires to, he can leave it (the money in their hands)’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if he has ordered them, and they Fasted, it would have sufficed him from them’.
