3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَجَّ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ أَ يُجْزِئُهُ ذَلِكَ ٠ِنْ حَجَّةِ الإِسْلا٠ْ قُلْتُ حَجَّةُ الْجَ٠َّةٌ أَوْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ تَا٠َّةٌ قُلْتُ حَجَّةُ الأَجِيرِ تَا٠ْ نَاقِصَةٌ قَالَ تَا٠3.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs al-Hajj for someone else; if it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam.

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes it is sufficient.’ I then asked, ‘Is al- Hajj of a camel-man complete or defective?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is complete.’ I asked, ‘Is al-Hajj on hire complete or defective?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is complete.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/160))
