حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: جَعْفَرُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ أَخْبَرَنِي، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُخْتِي نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، قَالَ: " لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " فَاقْضُوا اللهَ؛ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ آدَمَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My sister vowed that she would perform Hajj, and she has died. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If she had owed a debt, would you have paid it?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then pay what is due to Allah, for He is more entitled to it."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً الْخُرَاسَانِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَوْثِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَرِيضَةُ اللهِ فِي الْحَجِّ، وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَتَمَالَكُ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ، فَمَا تَرَى الْحَجَّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، ⦗٤٥٤⦘ فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ "، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أَهْلِينَا وَلَمْ يُوصِ بِالْحَجِّ فَيُحَجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَتُؤْجَرُونَ "، قَالَ: وَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهُ وَيُصَامُ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ أَفْضَلُ "، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي النَّذْرِ وَالْمَشْيِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ بَيْنَ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ وَمَنْ فَوْقَهُ، وَمَعْنَاهُ مَوْجُودٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ قَبْلَهُ.
Abu al-Ghawth bin al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The obligation of Allah regarding Hajj has come upon my father, and he is an old man who cannot keep himself on a mount. What do you say about performing Hajj on his behalf?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, Hajj will be performed on his behalf." He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Whoever of our family has died without having made a bequest for Hajj, will Hajj be performed on his behalf as well?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and you will be rewarded too." He said: "Can charity be given and fasts be kept on his behalf?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and charity is better; and likewise in a vow and in walking to the mosque."
This is mursal (with a gap in the chain) between Ata al-Khurasani and those above him, and its meaning is found in the established hadith before it.
