3109 - رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَبْعَثُ بِالْهَدْيِ تَطَوُّعاً وَ لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ فَقَالَ «يُوَاعِدُ أَصْحَابَهُ يَوْماً فَيُقَلِّدُونَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ تِلْكَ اَلسَّاعَةُ اِجْتَنَبَ مَا يَجْتَنِبُهُ اَلْمُحْرِمُ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلنَّحْرِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلنَّحْرِ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حِينَ صَدَّهُ اَلْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ اَلْحُدَيْبِيَةِ نَحَرَ وَ أَحَلَّ وَ رَجَعَ إِلَى اَلْمَدِينَةِ ».

Hadith.3109 - It is narrated from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who sends a sacrificial animal voluntarily, not as an obligation. Imam (as) said: "He should agree with his companions on a specific day, and they should mark it (as a sacrificial animal). From that moment, he must avoid what a person in Ihram avoids until the Day of Sacrifice. When the Day of Sacrifice arrives, it will suffice for him. Indeed, when the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was barred by the polytheists at Hudaybiyyah, he slaughtered (his sacrificial animal), exited Ihram, and returned to Medina."

Ḥadīth 2

3110 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «مَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ يَحُجَّ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ لاَ يَبْلُغُ ذَلِكَ أَمْوَالُنَا فَقَالَ «أَ مَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ مَعَهُ بِثَمَنِ أُضْحِيَّةٍ وَ يَأْمُرَهُ أَنْ يَطُوفَ عَنْهُ أُسْبُوعاً بِالْبَيْتِ وَ يَذْبَحَ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ لَبِسَ ثِيَابَهُ وَ تَهَيَّأَ وَ أَتَى اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَلاَ يَزَالُ فِي اَلدُّعَاءِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ اَلشَّمْسُ».

Hadith.3110 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "What prevents any of you from performing Hajj every year?" It was said to him: "Our wealth does not allow for that." Imam (as) replied: "Can any of you not, when his brother sets out for Hajj, send with him the price of a sacrificial animal and instruct him to perform a circumambulation of the House on his behalf and to slaughter on his behalf? Then, on the Day of Arafah, he should dress in his own clothes, prepare himself, and go to the mosque, remaining in supplication until the sun sets."
