أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ کَانَ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ النَّحْرِ فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ أَدْرَکَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا کَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَرْکَبَ إِلَّا مُعْتَرِضًا أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ حُجِّي عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ کَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَضَيْتِيهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5404
It was narrated from Al-Fadl bin ‘Abbas that he was riding behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice, when a woman from Khath’am came to him and said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, the command of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, to His slaves to perform Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot ride unless he is tied crossways on a mount; can I perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said: “Yes, perform Hajj on his behalf, for if he owed a debt you would pay it off for him.” (Sahih)
