حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّهُ کَانَ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ النَّحْرِ فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ أَدْرَکَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا کَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَرْکَبَ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ کَانَ عَلَی أَبِيکِ دَيْنٌ قَضَيْتِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2909
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that his brother Fadl was riding behind the Messenger of Allah in the morning of the day of sacrifice (i.e., the 10the of Dhul-Hijjah), when a woman from Khath'am came and said: "0 Messenger of Allah, the command of Allah has come for His slaves to perform Hajj, but my father isan old man and cannot ride. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Yes, because if your father owed a debt you would pay it off." (Sahih)
