حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَثْعَمَ اسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَالْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ فَهَلْ يَقْضِي عَنْهُ أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ فَأَخَذَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً حَسْنَاءَ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَضْلَ فَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ مِنْ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2266
It was narrated from Ibn Shihab that Sulaiman bin Yasar told him that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) told him that a woman of Khath'am asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)a question during the Farewell Pilgrimage, when al-Fadl bin 'Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) on his mount She said: O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Hajj has come when my father is an old man and cannot sit up straight on his mount; will it suffice if I do Hajj on his behalf? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to her: "Yes." Al- Fadl bin 'Abbas began turning towards her, as she was a beautiful woman. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) took hold of al-Fadl and turned his face to the other side.
