أَمَرْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّةً فَلَا تَكْفِيهِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ أُخْرَى وَ يَتَّسِعَ بِهَا وَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُمَا جَمِيعاً أَوْ يُشْرِكُهُمَا جَمِيعاً إِنْ لَمْ تَكْفِهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ خَالِصَةً لِوَاحِدٍ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تَكْفِيهِ فَلَا يَأْخُذْهَا .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ismail who said, ‘I instructed a man to aske Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the man who takes (the responsibility for performing) a Hajj, but is not (paid) sufficiently. Is it for him that he takes (more) from another man and increase the capacity with it, and he would suffice from both of them together, or participate both of them if it is not sufficient from one of the two? So he mentioned that he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It would be more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup> if it happens to be unmixed for one. And if it does not happen to suffice him, so he should not take it’.
