Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My father has passed away, and he was not able to perform the obligatory Hajj." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is your view about this: if your father owed a debt, would you have paid it on his behalf?" The man said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then this too is a debt binding upon him; pay it."
Imam al-Bazzar and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded this narration, and its chain is hasan (good).
