Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَجَجْتُ أَنَا وَسِنَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَمَعَ سِنَانٍ بَدَنَةٌ فَأَزْحَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَعَيَّ بِشَأْنِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ لَأَسْتَبْحِثَنَّ عَنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قُلْتُ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعِنْدَهُ جَارِيَةٌ وَكَانَ لِي حَاجَتَانِ وَلِصَاحِبِي حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُخْلِيكَ قُلْتُ لَا فَقُلْتُ كَانَتْ مَعِي بَدَنَةٌ فَأَزْحَفَتْ عَلَيْنَا فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ لَأَسْتَبْحِثَنَّ عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْبُدْنِ مَعَ فُلَانٍ وَأَمَرَهُ فِيهَا بِأَمْرِهِ فَلَمَّا قَفَّا رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِمَا أَزْحَفَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ انْحَرْهَا وَاصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا وَاضْرِبْهُ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ رُفْقَتِكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَغَازِي فَأُغْنَمُ فَأُعْتِقُ عَنْ أُمِّي أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا أَنْ أُعْتِقَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَمَرَتْ امْرَأَةُ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أُمِّهَا تُوُفِّيَتْ وَلَمْ تَحْجُجْ أَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهَا دَيْنٌ فَقَضَتْهُ عَنْهَا أَكَانَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْ أُمِّهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلْتَحْجُجْ عَنْ أُمِّهَا وَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ مَاءُ الْبَحْرِ طَهُورٌ.
English Translation
Musa ibn Salamah said: I performed Hajj along with Sinan ibn Salamah, and Sinan had a sacrificial camel that became exhausted and could not walk. He was at a loss about what to do. I said: 'When I reach Makkah, I will surely investigate this matter.' When we arrived in Makkah, I said: 'Let us go to Ibn Abbas.' We entered upon him while a slave-girl was with him. I had two matters to ask about and my companion had one. He said: 'Shall I give you privacy?' I said: 'No.' I said: 'I had a sacrificial camel that became exhausted on us.' Ibn Abbas said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent the sacrificial camels with so-and-so and gave him instructions about them. When he was about to leave, he came back and said: O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with those that become exhausted? He said: Slaughter them, dip their shoes (identification marks) in their blood, and strike it on their sides, and do not eat from them — neither you nor anyone from your travel party.' I said to him: 'I go on military expeditions and receive spoils; can I free a slave on behalf of my mother — will it count for her?' Ibn Abbas said: 'The wife of Salman ibn Abdullah al-Juhani asked him to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about her mother who died without having performed Hajj — would it count if she performed Hajj on her behalf? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: What if her mother had a debt and she paid it off — would that count on her mother's behalf? He said: Yes. He said: Then let her perform Hajj on behalf of her mother.' And he (the man) asked him about sea water, and he said: 'Sea water is purifying.'
