2646. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that a woman held up a child of hers to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, is there Hajj for this one?" He said: "Yes, and you will be rewarded." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2645 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً رَفَعَتْ صَبِيًّا لَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ»

Commentary

1. There is almost a consensus of opinion among the jurists that the Hajj performed before adulthood would not be sufficient or absolve one of the responsibility of the obligatory Hajj; one shall have to perform it separately on reaching adulthood. 2. The child about whom the question is raised in this Hadith appears to have been very small: that he was lifted up on hand. In any case, there is definitely a reward for his mother, because she carries him along with her.
