١٥٧٩٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن (طارق) (١) قال: كنت جالسًا عند سعيد بن المسيب فأتاه رجل فقال: إن أبي كان كثير الجهاد ولم يحج أفأحج عنه؟ فقال له سعيد: (قد) (٢) كان رسول اللَّه ﷺ رخص لرجل حج عن أبيه، وهل هو إلا دين (٣).
Hazrat Tariq narrates that I was sitting with Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib when a person came to him and said, "My father used to participate in jihad very frequently, but he did not perform Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib replied to him: "The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted a person to perform Hajj on behalf of his father, and is this not a debt?"
