English translation

2909. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that his brother Fadl was riding behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in the morning of the day of sacrifice (i.e., the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah), when a woman from Khath'am came and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, the command of Allāh has come for His slaves to perform Hajj, but my father is an 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)

Arabic text

2909 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْفَضْلِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ النَّحْرِ، فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ، أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا، لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ دَيْنٌ، قَضَيْتِهِ»
