حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْجَزَّارُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَوْفٌ ، عَنِ
الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ أَدْرَكَ الإِسْلامَ ، وَلَمْ يَحُجَّ وَلا يَسْتَمْسِكُ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ ، وَإِنْ شَدَدْتُهُ بِالْحَبَلِ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " احْجُجْ عَنْ أَبِيكَ " .
Imam Hasan Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) says that it has reached me that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My elderly father has accepted Islam and he has not performed Hajj, nor can he sit firmly on a mount, and if I tie him to the mount with a rope, I fear that I might kill him." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
