Hadith.2967 - Ibn Muskan narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: I asked him about a man performing Hajj on behalf of his brother, his father, or another person. Should he say anything specific? Imam (as) said: "Yes, after entering into Ihram, he should say: 'O Allah (swt), whatever hardship, difficulty, trial, or dishevelment I experience during this journey, grant its reward to [the person on whose behalf the Hajj is performed], and reward me for fulfilling it on their behalf.'"

Hadith.2970 - It was narrated from Muthanna ibn Abdul-Salam, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a person performing Hajj on behalf of someone else. Should he mention that person’s name at every station? Imam (as) said: "If he wishes, he may do so, and if he wishes, he may not. Allah (swt) knows that he has performed Hajj on their behalf. However, he should mention the person's name when offering the sacrifice (udhiyah) at the time of slaughter."
