٨ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَمَتَّعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً فَصَامَ الثَّلاثَةَ الأَيَّامِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ يَنْتَظِرُ مَقْدَمَ أَهْلِ بِلادِهِ فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَخَلُوا فَلْيَصُمِ السَّبْعَةَ الأَيَّامِ.
8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahf ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) , about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who could not find an offering animal and he fasted the three days. When he completed the acts of his al- Hajj he found out that he needed to remain in Makkah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must wait for the arrival of the people from his town and when he thinks that they have entered (Makkah) he then must fast the seven days.’”
