2925 - كَتَبَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَنْ يُحِجَّ عَنْهُ ثَلاَثَةَ رِجَالٍ فَيَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ حَجَّةً مِنْهَا فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ وَ قَرَأْتُهُ «حُجَّ عَنْهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ أَجْرِهِ، وَ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى ».

Hadith.2925 - Amr ibn Sa’id al-Sabati wrote to Abu Ja’far (as) asking about a man who had instructed in his will that Hajj be performed on his behalf by three different individuals. He asked if it was permissible for him to take one of those Hajj allocations for himself. Imam (as) wrote back in his handwriting, and I read it: "Perform Hajj on his behalf, God willing. You will receive a reward equal to his, and nothing will be diminished from his reward, God willing."
