وعنه رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم سمع رجلا يقول : لبيك عن شبرمة قال : « من شبرمة ؟» قال : أخ لي أو قريب لي فقال : « حججت عن نفسك ؟» قال : لا . قال : « حج عن نفسك ، ثم حج عن شبرمة». رواه أبو داود وابن ماجه وصححه ابن حبان والراجح عند أحمد وقفه.
Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard a man saying, ‘O Allah! Here I am in response to Your call (saying Labbayk on behalf.. ) on behalf of Shubrumah.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked him. "Have you performed your own Hajj?” He replied, ‘No,’ whereupon the Prophet told him, “You must perform Hajj on your own behalf first, and then perform it on behalf of Shubrumah." Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.
