He was riding behind the Messenger of Allah [SAW] on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice, when a woman from Khath'am came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, the command of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, to His slaves to perform Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot ride unless he is tied crossways on a mount; can I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Yes, perform Hajj on his behalf, for if he owed a debt you would pay it off for him."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَدَاةَ النَّحْرِ فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ ﷻ فِي الْحَجِّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِي شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ إِلاَّ مُعْتَرِضًا أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ حُجِّي عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَضَيْتِيهِ  

"A man from Khath'am came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'My father is an old man who cannot ride, and the command of Allah to perform Hajj has come. Will it be good enough if I perform Hajj on his behalf?' He said: 'Are you the oldest of his children?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Don't you think that if he owed a debt you would pay it off?, He' said: 'Yes.' He said: 'then perform Hajj on his behalf.'''(Daif)  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الرُّكُوبَ وَأَدْرَكَتْهُ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ فَهَلْ يُجْزِئُ أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهُ قَالَ آنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَلَدِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ تَقْضِيهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ

[Machine] A man from Khaitham came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father has embraced Islam, but he is an elderly man who cannot ride a camel. The obligation of Hajj (pilgrimage) is prescribed on him, so should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you his eldest son?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "What if your father had a debt, and you paid it off, would that suffice?" He answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then advised, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf." There was a difference of opinion regarding this matter, and it was resolved by Mansur. Jareer ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated the incident in this manner.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ رُكُوبَ الرَّحْلِ وَالْحَجُّ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَلَدِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يجْزِئُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْجُجْ عَنْهُ اخْتُلِفَ فِي هَذَا عَلَى مَنْصُورٍ فَرَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ هَكَذَا  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الزُّبيْرِ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَم إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنَّ أَبِى أَدْرَكَهُ الإِسْلاَمُ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كبِيرٌ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ رُكُوبَ الرَّحْلِ، وَالحَجُّ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَلَدِهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِى عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَحُجَّ عَنْهُ".
