حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَسِنَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَمَعَنَا بَدَنَتَانِ فَأَزْحَفَتَا عَلَيْنَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي سِنَانٌِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ سِنَانٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُهَنِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَمْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2189
It was narrated that Moosa bin Salamah said: Sinan bin Salamah and I set out, with two sacrificial animals, but they moved slowly for us on the road. Sinan said to me: How about going to Ibn 'Abbas? So we went to him and Sinan asked him.... And he mentioned the hadeeth. And he said: And Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: al- Juhani asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he did not do Hajj. He said: "Do Hajj on behalf of your father.”
