25. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Misma‘ who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of my girl who was pregnant and I made a vow and commitment for Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, that if she gives birth to a boy, I will help him to perform al-Hajj or I will perform al-Hajj on his behalf. He (the Imam) said, ‘A man made a vow and commitment for Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, about his son that if he matures he will perform al-Hajj for him or help him to perform al-Hajj. The father died and the boy became mature thereafter and came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, who commanded him to perform al-Hajj by means of what his father has left behind.’”
25- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) كَانَتْ لِي جَارِيَةٌ حُبْلَى فَنَذَرْتُ للهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنْ وَلَدَتْ غُلاماً أَنْ أُحِجَّهُ أَوْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلا نَذَرَ للهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ابْنٍ لَهُ إِنْ هُوَ أَدْرَكَ أَنْ يَحُجَّ عَنْهُ أَوْ يُحِجَّهُ فَمَاتَ الأبُ وَأَدْرَكَ الْغُلامُ بَعْدُ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْغُلامُ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنْ يُحَجَّ عَنْهُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ أَبُوهُ.
