On the authority of al-Faḍl ibn ʿAbbās, that he was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice. A woman from Khathʿam came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, of Hajj upon His servants has overtaken my father, an old man who cannot sit firmly on a mount unless he is turned sideways. May I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said: "Yes, perform Hajj on his behalf, for if he had a debt, you would pay it." (1)

5390 - ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān informed me, saying: al-Walīd narrated to us, on the authority of al-Awzāʿī, saying: Ibn Shihāb informed me. H: And Maḥmūd ibn Khālid informed me, saying: ʿUmar narrated to us, on the authority of al-Awzāʿī, al-Zuhrī narrated to me, on the authority of Sulaymān ibn Yasār, that Ibn ʿAbbās informed him that a woman from Khathʿam asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for a legal ruling, while al-Faḍl was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). She said: "O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, of Hajj upon His servants has overtaken my father, an old man who cannot sit upright—"

(1) In (H): "qadaytihi," and in its margin a variant as I have recorded.
(2) A sound hadith, and this chain in which al-Walīd—i.e., Ibn Muslim al-Dimashqī—contradicted the companions of al-Awzāʿī, saying in it: "on the authority of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbbās, on the authority of al-Faḍl," thus making it a hadith of al-Faḍl. The companions of al-Awzāʿī narrated it from him and made it a hadith of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbbās. However, al-Walīd ibn Muslim also narrated it as the companions of al-Awzāʿī narrated it from him, making it a hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās, as in the hadith that follows. It is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (5915).
It was also narrated by Ibn Mājah (2909) from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ibrāhīm al-Dimashqī, from al-Walīd ibn Muslim, with this chain, and in it al-Walīd ibn Muslim explicitly states that he heard it from al-Awzāʿī.
It was also narrated by Muḥammad ibn Muṣʿab al-Qarqasānī, Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf al-Firyābī, Hiql ibn Ziyād, and al-Walīd ibn Mazīd—all of them narrated it from al-Awzāʿī, from al-Zuhrī; they did not mention "on the authority of al-Faḍl" in it, and they made it a hadith of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbbās, may Allah be pleased with them both. Their narrations (in order) are in "Musnad" Aḥmad (3049), "Ṣaḥīḥ" al-Bukhārī (4399), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" 18/ (723), and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" 4/329.
