Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْعَمِّيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ يُوسُفُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَوْ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ قَالَتْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ عَنْهُ قُبِلَ مِنْكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاللَّهُ أَرْحَمُ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ.

Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd al-Samad al-Ammi Abu Abd al-Samad narrated to us, Mansur narrated to us, from Mujahid, from a freed slave of Ibn al-Zubayr called Yusuf ibn al-Zubayr or al-Zubayr ibn Yusuf, from Ibn al-Zubayr, from Sawdah bint Zam'ah, who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "My father is an old man and cannot perform Hajj." He said: "Tell me, if your father had a debt and you paid it on his behalf, would it be accepted from you?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Then Allah is more merciful. Perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
