حدثنا
يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى
مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَانَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ تَسْتَفْتِيهِ ، فَجَعَلَ الْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا ، وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْرِفُ وَجْهَ الْفَضْلِ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ ، قَالَت : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِي الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، وَذَلِكَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ .
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas reported that while al-Fadl bin Abbas had been riding behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a women of the tribe of Khath'am came to him (to the Holy Proppet) asking for a religious verdict. Fadl looked at her and she looked at him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) turned the face of al-Fadl to the other side. She said: Messenger of Allah, there is an obligation from Allah upon His servants in regard to Hajj. (But) my father is an aged man; he is incapable of riding safely. May I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: Yes. It was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.
