Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told him that a woman of Khath'am asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) a question during the Farewell Pilgrimage, when al-Fadl bin 'Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on his mount. She said: O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Hajj has come when my father is an old man and cannot sit up straight on his mount; will it suffice if I do Hajj on his behalf? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: "Yes." Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas began turning towards her, as she was a beautiful woman. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of al-Fadl and turned his face to the other side.
