The Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated Fadl bin Abbas behind him on the back of his mount on the Day of Sacrifice. Fadl was a handsome man. The Prophet ﷺ stopped to give the people religious rulings, and a beautiful woman from Khathaam came forward to seek a ruling from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Fadl began staring at her, struck by her beauty. The Prophet ﷺ turned and saw Fadl looking at her, so he reached his hand back, took hold of Fadl's chin, and turned his face away from looking at her.She said, "Messenger of Allah, Allah's obligation upon His servants regarding Hajj has reached my father as a very old man who cannot sit upright on a mount. Will it suffice for him if I perform Hajj on his behalf?"He replied, "Yes."
أردف رسول الله ﷺ الفضل بن عباس يوم النحر خلفه على عجز راحلته، وكان الفضل رجلا وضيئا، فوقف النبي ﷺ للناس يفتيهم، وأقبلت امرأة من خثعم وضيئة تستفتي رسول الله ﷺ، فطفق الفضل ينظر إليها، وأعجبه حسنها، فالتفت النبي ﷺ والفضل ينظر إليها، فأخلف بيده فأخذ بذقن الفضل، فعدل وجهه عن النظر إليها، فقالت: يا رسول الله، إن فريضة الله في الحج على عباده، أدركت أبي شيخا كبيرا، لا يستطيع أن يستوي على الراحلة، فهل يقضي عنه أن أحج عنه؟ قال: نعم.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Seeking Permission (6228) via Shuayb, from Zuhri, who said, Sulayman bin Yasar informed me, Ibn Abbas informed me, and he related it. This is his wording.Bukhari also narrated it in the Book of Hajj (1513), and Muslim in the Book of Hajj (1334), both via Malik, from Zuhri, with similar wording.
