Words That One Should Say When Performing al-Hajj on Behalf of Someone Else

قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَحُجُّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ هَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ مَا يُحْرِمُ- اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصَابَنِي فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا مِنْ تَعَبٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ شَعَثٍ فَأْجُرْ فُلَاناً فِيهِ وَ أْجُرْنِي فِي قَضَائِي عَنْهُ.[2] - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَ

‘O Lord, for any fatigue, hardships, afflictions and shaken condition that I may have experienced on the way, grant reward to so and so and grant me reward for completing it on his behalf.’” Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ibn Muskan has narrated a similar Hadith.

قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الَّذِي يَحُجُّ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ يُسَمِّيهِ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ وَ الْمَوَاقِفِ.

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who performs al-Hajj for others: if he is required to say any particular words. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must mention him in places designated for acts of al-Hajj.’”

قِيلَ لَهُ أَ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَقْضِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ أَوْ أَخِيهِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِمْ أَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ إِحْرَامِهِ- اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصَابَنِي مِنْ نَصَبٍ أَوْ شَعَثٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ فَأْجُرْ فُلَاناً فِيهِ وَ أْجُرْنِي فِي قَضَائِي عَنْهُ.

‘When assuming the state of Ihram he should say, ‘O Lord, for whatever difficulties, shaken conditions and hardships that I may have experienced, grant the reward therefore to so and so, and grant me reward for completing it for him.’”
