tribe of Khath’am came, asking the verdict of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). Al-Fadl started looking at her as her
beauty attracted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked behind while Al-Fadl was looking at her; so the Prophet (ﷺ)
held out his hand backwards and caught the chin of Al-Fadl and turned his face (to the owner sides in
order that he should not gaze at her. She said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The obligation of Performing Hajj
enjoined by Allah on His worshipers, has become due (compulsory) on my father who is an old man
