Muwatta Malik #833
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، 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 فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ
" نَعَمْ " . وَذَلِكَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Sulayman ibn
Yasar that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "Al-Fadl ibn Abbas was riding
behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, when a woman from the Khathama tribe came to him to ask him for
a fatwa. Al-Fadl began to look at her, and she at him, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned
Fadl's face away to the other side. The woman said, 'Messenger of
Allah, Allah's making the hajj obligatory finds my father a very old
man, unable to stay firm on his riding-beast. Can I do hajj for him?',
and he said, 'Yes.' This was during the farewell hajj."
