Al-Fadl began looking at her and she looked at him, and the Prophet ﷺ kept turning al-Fadl’s face to the other side. She said, ‘Messenger of Allah, Allah’s obligation of pilgrimage upon His servants has become due on my father, an old man who cannot remain steady on the mount. May I perform pilgrimage on his behalf?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ That was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.’

It lies away from our route, and if we go to Qarn it will be difficult for us.’ He said, ‘Look for a place directly opposite it on your route.’ So he set Dhat ʿIrq for them.’
