Hadith 22:22

Hashim narrated to us, Yahya ibn Abi Ishaq narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Yasar, from Abdullah ibn Abbas—or from al-Fadl ibn Abbas—that a man asked the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, my father reached Islam while he was a very old man who cannot remain steady on his mount.

He said: "Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father."
