It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that his brother Fadl was riding
behind
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the morning of sacrifice (i.e.,
the
10th of Dhul-Hijjah), when a woman from Khath’am came
and said:
“O
Messenger of Allah, the command of Allah has come for
His slaves to
perform Hajj, but my father is an old man and cannot
ride. May I
perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said: “Yes, because
if your father
owed a debt you would pay it off.”
