Hadith 4073
عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: أَتَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْحَجِّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى دَابَّةِ، قَالَ: ((فَحُجِّي عَنْ أَبِيكِ))
Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a woman from the tribe of Khath’am came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Allah’s obligation of Hajj has reached my father, but the situation is that due to old age he does not have the strength to sit on a mount. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you should perform Hajj on behalf of your father.
