Hadith 15370
١٥٣٧٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن منصور عن مجاهد عن رجل يقال له يوسف عن ابن الزبير قال: أتى النبي ﷺ رجل فقال: يا رسول ⦗٤٢١⦘ اللَّه إن (أبي) (١) مات ولم يحج أفأحج عنه؟ قال: " (أنت) (٢) أكبر (ولده؟) (٣) " قال: نعم، قال: "فحج عن (أبيك) (٤) أرأيت لو كان على (أبيك) (٥) دين فقضيته؟ " (٦).
It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Zubair that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My father has passed away and he had not performed Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Are you his eldest son?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father. What do you think, if your father had a debt, would you not pay it off?"
