وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: «كَانَ اَلْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -. فَجَاءَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ مَنْ خَثْعَمَ، فَجَعَلَ اَلْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، وَجَعَلَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْرِفُ وَجْهَ اَلْفَضْلِ إِلَى اَلشِّقِّ اَلْآخَرِ.
فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ، إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اَللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِي اَلْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا، لَا يَثْبُتُ عَلَى اَلرَّاحِلَةِ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ? قَالَ: «نَعَمْ «وَذَلِكَ فِي حَجَّةِ اَلْوَدَاعِ»
lbn Abbas (RAA) narrated that ‘Al-Fadl Ibn Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) when a woman from the tribe of Khatham came along, and al-Fadl started looking at her and she also started looking at him. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) kept on turning al-Fadl’s face to the other side.
She said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Allah has prescribed Hajj for His servants, and it has become due on my father who is an old man, who cannot sit stable on his mount. Shall I perform Hajj on his behalf?’
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, ‘Yes, you may.’ This incident took place during the Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Agreed upon, and the wording is from Al·Bukhari’.
