Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَهُ الْحَجُّ وَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ إِلاَّ مُعْتَرِضًا ‏.‏ فَصَمَتَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr narrated to us: Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Kurayb narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAwf informed me: I said: “Messenger of God, ḥajj has become due for my father, but he can perform it only while someone supports him.” He was silent for a while, then said: “Perform ḥajj on behalf of your father.”
