Musnad Ahmad 3377

Translation

✧ I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ when a man came and said: “My father—or my mother; Yahya said: I strongly think he said: my father—is old and has not performed Hajj. If I carry him on a camel, he cannot remain steady on it, and if I tie him to it, I cannot be sure of his safety. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said: “Would you settle a debt if he owed one?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Then perform Hajj on his behalf.”

  أصح شيء في هذا الباب ما رواه ابن عباس عن الفضل بن عباس عن النبي عليه السلام قال محمد ويحتمل أن يكون ابن عباس سمعه من الفضل وغيره عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم أرسله فلم يذكر من سمعه منه
