‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, my wife is about to leave on pilgrimage and I have enlisted in the Battle of such and such.’ He told him, ‘Go and offer the pilgrimage with your wife.’

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that he heard the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
