أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَإِنْ حَمَلْتُهُ لَمْ يَسْتَمْسِكْ أَفَأَحُجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ " حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سُلَيْمَانُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ.
It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasar, reporting from Al-Fadl bin Abbas, that a man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, my father is an elderly man who cannot perform Hajj. If I put him on a mount, he cannot sit securely. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?’ He replied, ‘Perform Hajj on behalf of your father.’ Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Sulaiman did not hear directly from Al-Fadl bin Abbas.
