Is the following Hadith authentic?
Whoever performs Hajj on behalf of his parents or settles their debts, will be resurrected on the day of Qiyamah with the Righteous.
Answer:
Imams Bazzar, Daraqutni, Tabarani (rahimahumullah) and others have recorded this narration on the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).
(Musnadul Bazzar, Hadith: 4822 and 5174, Sunan Daraqutni, Hadith: 2608, Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 7796)
This narration has been reported via an extremely weak chain.
(Refer: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 8 pg. 146. Also see Al Kamil, vol. 6 pg. 279 and Lisanul Mizan, vol. 4 pg. 333 -3947-)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best
