“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘Shall I perform Hajj on behalf of my father?’ He said: ‘Yes, perform Hajj on behalf of your father, for if you cannot add any good to his record (at least) you will not add anything bad.’”

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحُجُّ عَنْ أَبِي قَالَ نَعَمْ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَزِدْهُ خَيْرًا لَمْ تَزِدْهُ شَرًّا

[Machine] Abdul Razzaq narrated that Sufyan Al-Thawri narrated from Al-Shaybani, who narrated from Yazid ibn Al-Asamm, who narrated from Ibn Abbas that a man asked the Prophet ﷺ, "O Messenger of Allah, should I perform Hajj on behalf of my father?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, perform Hajj on his behalf if it brings him good. Otherwise, do not do anything that could harm him."

ثنا أَبِي أنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحُجُّ عَنْ أَبِي؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنْ لَمْ تَزِدْهُ خَيْرًا لَمْ تَزِدْهُ شَرًّا»
