Bayhaqi 9851 — Performing Hajj on behalf of one who is incapacitated

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْيَمَانِ أَنَّ شُعَيْبَ بْنَ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أَرْدَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَكَانَ الْفَضْلُ رَجُلًا وَضِيئًا فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلنَّاسِ يُفْتِيهِمْ فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ وَضِيئَةٌ تَسْتَفْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَفِقَ الْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ وَأَعْجَبَهُ حُسْنُهَا فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْفَضْلِ وَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخَذَ بِذَقَنِ الْفَضْلِ فَعَدَلَ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّظَرِ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَتْ تِلْكَ الْخَثْعَمِيَّةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللهِ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَهَلْ يَقْضِي أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهُ؟، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَعَمْ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Sayyiduna al-Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) behind him on his mount, and al-Fadl was a handsome man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped to give the people rulings, and a beautiful woman from the tribe of Khath'am turned towards him; she was asking the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a ruling. Al-Fadl looked at her, and her beauty pleased him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at al-Fadl and saw that he was looking at the woman, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of al-Fadl's chin and turned his face to the other side. This Khath'ami woman said: "O Messenger of Allah! The obligation of Hajj has reached my father when he is a very old man, and he cannot sit on a mount; if I perform Hajj on his behalf, will it suffice?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." [Sahih. Bukhari: 4138]
