Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (ra): Al Fadl was riding behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) and a woman from the tribe of Khath’am came up. Al Fadl started looking at her and she looked at him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) turned Al-Fadl’s face to the other side. She said, “My father has come under Allah’s obligation of performing Hajj but he is very old man and cannot sit properly on his Rahila (mount). Shall I perform Hajj on his behalf ? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied affirmative. That happened during Hajjat-ul-Wada’ of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
