Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 3251

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ تَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَصْرِفُ وَجْهَ الْفَضْلِ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الآخَرِ. قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِى الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِى شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». وَذَلِكَ فِى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas that he said: “Ali-Fadl bin ‘Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and a woman of Khath’am came to him to ask him a question. Al-Fadl started looking at her and she at him, and the Messenger of Allah turned Al-Fadl’s face to the other side. She said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Hajj has come while my father is an old man who cannot sit firmly on his mount. Can I perform Hajj' on his behalf?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ That was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.”
