1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّ مَوْلاكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مَهْزِيَارَ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ ضَيْعَةٍ صَيَّرَ رُبُعَهَا لَكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ حَجَّةً إِلَى عِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً وَأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ طَرِيقُ الْبَصْرَةِ فَتَضَاعَفُ الْمَئُونَةُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَلَيْسَ يَكْتَفُونَ بِعِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْصَى عِدَّةٌ مِنْ مَوَالِيكَ فِي حِجَجِهِمْ فَكَتَبَ يُجْعَلُ ثَلاثُ حِجَجٍ حَجَّتَيْنِ إِنْ شَاءَ الله.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from those narrated to him from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘Your follower, Ali ibn Mahziyar has said in his will to perform al-Hajj on his behalf from an asset of which one-fourth is for you, every year one al-Hajj up to twenty dinar. The road through al-Basra is cut off and the expenses have increased; people charge more than twenty dinar and so also many of your followers have said in their wills. He (the Imam) wrote in answer, ‘Three al-Hajj ah must be made as two al-Hajj by the will of Allah.’”

2ـ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحُصَيْنِيُّ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَمِّي أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَاراً فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فَلَيْسَ يَكْفِي فَمَا تَأْمُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ يَجْعَلُ حَجَّتَيْنِ فِي حَجَّةٍ إِنَّ الله عَالِمٌ بِذَلِكَ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has said that Muhammad ibn al-Husayniy wrote to me saying that the son of his uncle has said in his will to perform al-Hajj for him with fifteen dinar every year; but it is not sufficient; what do you command in this matter? He (the Imam) wrote, ‘Two al-Hajj is made one al-Hajj; Allah knows it best.’”
