Hadith 1

رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَ عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْكَسِيرُ وَ اَلْمَبْطُونُ يُرْمَى عَنْهُمَا قَالَ وَ اَلصِّبْيَانُ يُرْمَى عَنْهُمْ».

Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar and Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "The injured and those suffering from abdominal illnesses should have the Jamarat stoned on their behalf, and likewise for the children, the stoning should be done on their behalf."

Hadith 2

وَ سَأَلَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرِيضِ يُرْمَى عَنْهُ اَلْجِمَارُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يُحْمَلْ إِلَى اَلْجَمْرَةِ وَ يُرْمَى عَنْهُ» قُلْتُ لاَ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «يُتْرَكُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ يُرْمَى عَنْهُ ».

Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Abu Al-Hasan Musa (a.s) about a sick person: Can the stoning of the Jamarat be performed on his behalf? Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes, he should be carried to the Jamarat, and the stoning should be done on his behalf." I said: "What if he is unable to be carried?" Imam (a.s) replied: "He may remain in his residence, and the stoning should be performed on his behalf."
