أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ کَيْسَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَثْعَمَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ أَدْرَکَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا کَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَوِي عَلَی الرَّاحِلَةِ فَهَلْ يَقْضِي عَنْهُ أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ فَأَخَذَ الْفَضْلُ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا وَکَانَتْ امْرَأَةً حَسْنَائَ وَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَضْلَ فَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ مِنْ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5407
It was narrated from Ibn Shihab that Sulaiman bin Yasar told him that Ibn ‘Abbas told him that a woman from Khath’am 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 he cannot sit upright in the saddle. Will it discharge his duty if I perform Hajj on his behalf?” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to her: “Yes.” Al-FadI starting turning toward her, for she was a beautiful woman, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم turned Al Fadl’s face to the other side. (Sahih)
