كُنْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عِنْدَهُ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنُهُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ يَطُوفُ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَ هُوَ مُقِيمٌ بِمَكَّةَ لَيْسَ بِهِ عِلَّةٌ فَقَالَ لَا لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَجُوزُ لَأَمَرْتُ ابْنِي فُلَاناً فَطَافَ عَنِّي سَمَّى الْأَصْغَرَ وَ هُمَا يَسْمَعَانِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar al Ayamani, from Ismail Bin Abdul Khaliq who said, ‘I was to the side of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and in his<sup>asws</sup> presence was his<sup>asws</sup> son Abdullah, and his<sup>asws</sup> son who followed him (born after Abdullah). So, a man said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! Can the man perform <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> on behalf of the man who is staying at Makkah, with there being an illness with him?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. Had that been allowed, I<sup>asws</sup> would have ordered my<sup>asws</sup> so and so son, so he would have performed <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> on my<sup>asws</sup> behalf’, mentioning the younger one, and they were both listening’.
