Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Duba'a bint al-Zubair b. 'Abd al-Muttalib (Allah be pleased with her) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: I am an ailing woman but I intend to perform Hajj; what you command me (to do)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Enter into the state of Ihram (uttering these words) of condition: I would be free from it when Thou wouldst detain me. 'He (the narrator) said: But she was able to complete (the Hajj without breaking down).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1208a
This hadith about conditional Ihram gives the report from Ibn Abbas. Duba’a bint al-Zubair came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and said that she was an ailing woman but intended to perform Hajj. She asked what he commanded her to do. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told her to enter into Hajj and make the condition: “I would be free from it when You detain me.” The narrator then says that she was able to complete the Hajj without breaking down. This wording is helpful because it includes her question, the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم answer, and the outcome. The main search terms are Duba’a bint Zubair Hajj condition and Allahumma mahilli haythu habastani.
