It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman from the tribe of Khath'am asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and then the complete hadith was narrated. In the narration of Janab Sulaiman bin Yasar, there is this addition that the woman asked, "O Messenger of Allah, will my performing Hajj on his behalf benefit him?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, just as if he had a debt and you paid it off, it would benefit him."
