Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that a
person asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) what a Muhrim should put on as dress. Thereupon the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Do not
put on a shirt or a turban, or trousers or a cap, or
leather stockings except one who does not find shoes; he
may put on stockings but he should trim them below the
ankles. And do not wear clothes to which saffron or wars
is applied.
Salim reported on the authority of his father
('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Apostle of Allah (may peace
be upon him) was asked what a Muhrim should wear,
whereupon he said: A Muhrim should not wear a shirt, or a
turban, or a cap, or trousers, or a cloth touched with
wars or with saffron, nor (should he wear) stock- ings,
but in case he does not find shoes, but (before wearing
stockings) be should trim them (in such a way) that these
should become lower than the ankles.
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) forbade the Muhrim to put on a cloth
dyed in saffron or wars and he further said: One who does
not find shoes (to wear) he way wear stockings, but (only)
after trimming them below the ankles.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with both of them)
reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) say as he was delivering an address: So far as the
trousers are concerned, one who does not find lower
garment, he may wear them; as also socks, he may wear them
who does not find shoes. It concerns the Muhrim.
'Amr b. Dinar narrated with the same chain of
transmitters that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) delivering sermon at 'Arafat, and he
made a mention of this hadith (as quoted above).
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Amr
b. Dinar with the same chain of transmitters, but none of
them (the narrators) made a mention that he (the Holy
Prophet) was delivering address at 'Arafia except Sbu'ba.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who does
not find shoes to wear may wear socks, and he who does not
find lower garment to wear may put on trousers.
Ya'la b. Umayya reported on the authority of his father
(Allah be pleased with them) that a person came to the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as he was at
Ji'rana and he (the person) had been putting on a cloak
which was perfumed, or he (the narrator) said: There was a
trace of yellowness on it. He said (to the Holy Prophet):
What do you command me to do during my Umra? (It was at
this juncture) that the revelation came to the Apostle of
Allah (way peace be upon him) and he was covered with a
cloth, and Ya'la said: Would that I see revelation coming
to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). He (Hadrat
'Umar) said: Would it please you to see the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) receiving the revelations 'Umar
lifted a corner of the cloth and I looked at him and he
was emitting a sound of snorting. He (the narrator) said:
I thought it was the sound of a camel. When he was
relieved of this he said: Where is he who asked about Umra?
When the person came, the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon
him) said: Wash out the trace of yellowness, or he said:
the trace of perfume and put off the cloak and do in your
'Umra what you do in your Hajj.
Safwan b. Ya'la reported on the authority of his father
(who said): A person came to the Apostle of Allah (may
peace be upon him) as he was staying at Ji'rana and I (the
narrator's father) was at that time in the apostle's (may
peace be upon him) company and (the person) was donning a
cloak having the marks of perfume on it, and he said: I am
in a state of Ihram for the sake of Umra, and it (this
cloak) is upon me and I am perfumed. The Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said to him: What would you do in
your Hajj? He said: I would take off the clothes and would
wash from me this perfume. Thereupon the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: What you do in your Hajj do
it in your Umra.
Safwan b. Ya'la b. Umayya reported that Ya'la used to
say to 'Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him): Would
that I see revelation descending upon the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him). (Once) when the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) was in Ji'rana and there was a
cloth which provided shade over him, and there were his
Companions with him. 'Umar being one of them, there came a
person with a cloak of wool on him daubed with perfume and
he said: Messenger of Allah, what about the person who,
entered upon the state of Ihram with a cloak after daub-
ing it with perfume? The Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him) looked at him for a short while, and then became
quiet, and revelation began descending upon him, and 'Umar
gestured (with his hand) to Ya'la b Umayya to come. Ya'la
came and he enter- ed his head (beneath the cloth and saw)
the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) with his face
red, and breathing with a snore. Then he felt relieved (of
that burden) and he said: Where is the man who was just
asking me about Umra? The man was searched for and he was
brought, and the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: So far as the perfume is concerned, wash it three
times, and remove the cloak too (as it was sewn) and do in
'Umra as you do in Hajj.
Ya'la b. Umayya (Allah be pleased with him) reported
that a person came to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him) as he was staying at Ji'rana and he had put on
Ihram for 'Umra and he had dyed his beard and his head
with yellow colour and there was a cloak on him. He said:
I put on Ihram for 'Umra and I am in this state as you see
(with dyed beard and head and a cloak over me). He (the
Holy Prophet) said: Take off the cloak and wash the
yellowness and do in your 'Umra what you do in Hajj.
Ya'la reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) that a person came to him with a
cloak on him having the traces of scent. He said,
Messenger of Allah, I put on Ihram for 'Umra: what should
I do? He (the Holy Prophet) kept quiet and did not make
him any reply. And 'Umar screened him and it was (usual)
with 'Umar that when the revelation descended upon him, he
provided him shade (with the help of a piece of cloth). I
(the person who came to the Holy Prophet) said: I said to
'Umar I wish to project my head into the cloth (to see how
the Holy Prophet receives revelation). So when the
revelation began to descend upon him 'Umar wrapped him
(the Holy Prophet) with cloth I came to him and projected
my head with him into the cloth, and saw him (the Holy
Prophet) (receiving the revelation). When he (the Holy
Prophet) was relieved (of its burden), he said: Where is
the inquirer who was just inquiring about 'Umra? That man
came to him. Thereupon he (the Apostle of Allah) said:
Take off the cloak from (your body) and wash the traces of
perfume which were upon you, and do in 'Umra what you did
in Hajj.
Chapter 2: THE PLACE WHERE THE PILGRIMS ENTER
UPON THE STATE OF IHRAM
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) specified
Dhu'l-Hulaifa, for the people of Medina; Juhfa for the
people of Syria; Qarn al-Manazil, for the people of Najd;
Yalamlam for the people of Yemen (the Mawaqit) and those (Mawaqit)
are also meant for those who live at these (places) and
for those too who come from without towards them for the
sake of Hajj or 'Umra. And those who live within them
(within the bounds of these places) or in the suburbs of
Mecca or within Mecca, they should enter upon the state of
Ihram at these very places.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) specified
Dhu'l-Hulaifa for the people of Medina; Juhfa for the
people of Syria, Qarn al-Manazil for the people of Najd,
Yalamlam for the people of Yemen (as their respective
Mawaqit), and he also said: These are (Mawaqit) of them
too (who live there) and everyone who comes from outside
(through) their (directions) for the sake of Hajj and 'Umra
and for those who live within (those bounds their Miqat is
that) from which they commenced (their journey), and for
the people of Mecca, Mecca itself is (the Miqat).
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The
people of Medina should enter upon the state of Ihram at
Dhu'l-Hulaifa, and people of Syria at Juhfa, and people of
Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil), and 'Abdullah (further) said:
It has reached me that the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) also caid: The people of Yemen should enter
upon the state of Ihram at Yalamlam.
Salim reported on the authority of his father
('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: The people of Medina should enter
upon the state of Ihram at Dhu'l-Hulaifa; the people of
Syria at Juhfa, the people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil).
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: It was
mentioned to me but I did not myself bear it (directly)
from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) having
said this: The people of Yemen should enter upon the state
of Ihram at Yalamlam.
Salim b. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be
pleased with them) reported his father as saying: I heard
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying
that the people of Medina should enter upon the state of
Ihram at Dhu'l- Hulaifa, the people of Syria at Mahya'a
and that is Juhfa, and the people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil).
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: (I
did not hear it myself from him) but heard from them
saying that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
had (also) said: The people of Yemen should enter upon the
state of Ihram at Yalamlam.
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had
commanded the people of Medina to enter upon the state of
Ihram at Dhu'l-Hulaifa; the people of Syria at Juhfa; the
people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil). 'Abdullah b. 'Umar
(Allah be pleased with them) said: I was informed that he
said that the people of Yemen should enter upon the state
of Ihram at Yalamlam.
Abu Zubair reported that he heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah
(Allah be pleased with them) saying that as he was asked
about (the places for entering upon the) state of ihram,
he said: I heard (and he then carried the narration
directly, I think to) the Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him).
Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased
with them) as saying as he was asked about (the place for
entering upon the) state of Ihram: I heard (and I think he
carried it directly to the Apostle of Allah) him saying:
For the people of Medina Dhu'l-Hulaifa is the place for
entering upon the state of Ihram, and for (the people
coming through the other way, i. e. Syria) it is Juhfa;
for the people of Iraq it is Dbat al-'Irq; for the people
uf Najd it is Qarn (al-Manazil) and for the people of
Yemen it is Yalamlam.
Chapter 3: TALBIYA, ITS CHARATERISTICS AND ITS
TIME
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that the Talbiya of the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) was this: Here I am at Thy service. O
Allah, here I am at Thy service, here I am at Thy service.
There is no associate with Thee; here I am at Thy service.
Verily all praise and grace is due to Thee, and the
sovereignty (too). There is no associate with Thee. He
(the narrator) further said that 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah
be pleased with them) made this addition to it: Here I am
at Thy service; here I am at Thy service; ready to obey
Thee, and good is in Thy Hand; here 1 am at Thy service;
unto Thee is the petition, and deed (is also for Thee).
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that the Mes- senger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) entered upon the state of Ihram near the mosque at
Dhu'l-Hulaifa as his camel stood by it and he said: Here I
am at Thy service, O Lord; here I am at Thy service: here
I am at Thy service. There is no associate with Thee. Here
I am at Thy service. All praise and grace is due to Thee
and the sovereignty (too). There is no associate with
Thee. They (the people) said that 'Abdullah b. 'Umar said
that that was the Talbiya of the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him). Nafi' said: 'Abdullah (Allah be
pleased with him) made this addition to it: Here I am at
Thy service; here I am at Thy service; ready to obey Thee.
The Good is in Thy Hand. Here I am at Thy service. Unto
Thee is the petition and deed (is also for Thee).
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I
immediately learnt Talbiya from the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), and he then narrated the hadith.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) pronouncing Talbiya with compacted hair: Here I
am at Thy service. O Allah: here I am at Thy service; here
I am at Thy service. There is no associate with Thee; here
I am at Thy service. Verily all praise and grace is due to
Thee and the Sovereignty (too). There is no associate with
Thee; and he did not make any addition to these words.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) (further)
said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used
to offer two rak'ahs of prayer at Dhu'l-Hulaifa and then
when his camel stood up with him on its back near the
mosque at Dhu'l-Hulaifa, he pronounced these words (of
Talbiya). And 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased'with
them) said that 'Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with
him) pronounced, the Talbiya of the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) in these words of his (Prophet's
words) and said: Here I am at Thy service, O Lord; here I
am at Thy service, ready to obey Thee, and good is in Thy
Hand, Here I am at Thy service. Unto Thee is the petition
and deed (is also for Thee).
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the polytheists also pronounced (Talbiya) as: Here I am at
Thy service, there is no associate with Thee. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Woe be
upon them, as they also said: But one associate with Thee,
you possess mastery over him, but he does not possess
mastery (over you). They used to say this and
circumambulate the Ka'ba.
Chapter 4: THF PEOPLE OF MEDINA ARE COMMANDED TO
ENTER UPON THE STATE OF IHRAM AT A MOSQUE IN DHU'L-HULAIFA
Salim b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that he heard his father saying: This place Baida'
is for you that about which you attribute lie to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). And the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not enter
upon the state of Ihram but near the mosque at Dhu'l-
Hulaifa.
Salim reported that when it was said to Ibn 'Umar
(Allah be pleased with them) that the state of Ihram
(commences from) al-Baida' he said: Al-Baida', you
attribute lie about it to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him). And the Messenger of Allah (mav peace
be upon him) did not enter upon the state of Ihram but
near the-tree when his camel stood up with him.
Chapter 5: ENTERING UPON THE STATE OF IHRAM AS
THE RIDE PROCEEDS TOWARDS (MECCA)
'Ubaid b. Juraij said to 'Ahdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be
pleased with them): 'Abd al-Rahman, I find you doing four
things which I do not see anyone among your companions
doing. He said: Son of Juraij, what are these? Thereupon
he said: You (while circumambulating the Ka'ba) do not
touch but the two pillars situated on the side of yaman
(south), and I find you wearing the sandals of tanned
leather, and I find you with dyed beard and head, and I
also found that, when you were at Mecca, the people
pronounced Talbiya as they saw the new moon (Dhu'l-Hijja),
but you did not do it till the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijja. Upon
this 'Abdullab b. 'Umar said: (So far as the touching of)
the pillars is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) touching them but only those
situated on the side of yaman. (So far asthe wearing of)
the shoes of tanned leather is concerned, I saw the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) wearing shoes
without hair on them, and he (wore them with wet feet)
after performing ablution, and I like to wear them. So far
as the yellowness is concerned, I saw the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) dyeing (head, beard and
cloth) with this colour and I love to dye (my head, beard
or cloth) with this colour. And so far as the pronouncing
of Talbiya is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) pronouncing it until his
camel proceeded on (to Dhu'l-Hulaifa).
'Ubaid b. Juraij reported: I remained in the company of
'Abdullah b. 'Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with
them) its twelve Hajjs and 'Umras and I said to him: I saw
four characteristics (peculiar in you), and the rest of
the hadith is the same except the case of Talbiya. There
he offered the narration given by al-Maqburi and he stated
the facts excepting the one given above.
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) pronounced
Talbiya in Dhu'l-Hulaifa as he put his feet in the stirrup
and his camel stood up and proceeded.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar reported: I saw the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) riding on his camel at
Dhu'l-Hulaifa and pronouncing Talbiya as it stood up with
him.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that the Mes- senger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) spent the night at Dhu'l-Hulaifa while com- mencing
(the rites of) Pilgrimage and he observed prayer in the
mosque.
Chapter 6: APPLYING OF PERFUME TO THE BODY BEFORE
ENTERING UPON THE STATE OF IHRAM
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I applied
perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
before he entered upon the state of lhram and (concluding)
before circumambulating the (sacred) House.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him), reported: I
applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) with my own hand before he entered upon the
state of Ihram, and as he concluded it
before-circumambulating the House (for Tawaf-i-lfada).
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I used to
apply perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) before his entering upon the state of Ihram and at
the conclusion of it, before circumambulating the House
(for Tawf-i- Ifada).
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I applied
perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
as he became free from Ihram and as he entered upon it.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I applied
perfume of Dharira to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) with my hand (on the occasion of) the Farewell
Pilgrimage on freeing from the state of Ihram and entering
upon it.
'Uthman b. 'Urwa reported on the authority of his
father that he said: I asked 'A'isha with what thing she
perfumed the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) at
the time of entering upon the state of Ihram. She said:
With the best of perfume.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I applied
the best perfume, which I could get, to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) before entering upon the
state of Ihram (and after this) he put on the Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I applied
the best available perfume I could find to the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) before he entered upon
the state of Ihram and after he was free from it.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still
seem to see the glisten- ing of the perfume where the hair
parted on Allah's Messenger's (may peace be upon him) head
as he was in the state of Ihram, and Khalaf (one of the
narrators) did not say: As he was in the state of Ihram,
but said: That was the perfume of Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still
seem to see the glisten- ing of the perfume where the hair
parted on Allah's Messenger's (may peace be upon him) head
and he was free from Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still
seem to see the glisten- ing of the perfume where the hair
parted on Allah's Messenger's (may peace be upon him)
head, while he was pronouncing Talbiya.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I still seem
to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair was
parted on Allah's Messeinger's (may peace be upon him)
head while he was in the state of Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still
seem to perceive the glistening of perfume where the hair
was parted on Allah's Messenger's (may peace be upon him)
head as he was in the state of Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) intended to
enter upon the state of Ihram he perfumed himself with the
best of perfumes which he could find and after that I saw
the glisten- ing of oil on his head and beard.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still
seem to see the glisten- ing of musk (in the parting of
the head) of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) while he was in the state of Ihram.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I used to
perfume the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) with
a perfume containing musk before entering upon the state
of Ihram and on the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja)
and (at the conclusion of Ihram) before circumambulating
the House (for Tawaf-i-Ifada).
Muhammad b. al-Muntashir reported on the authority of
his father: I asked 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased
with them) about a person who applied perfume and then (on
the following) morning entered upon the state of lhram.
There- upon he said: I do not like to enter upon the state
of Ihram shaking off the perfume. Rubbing of tar (upon my
body) is dearer to me than doing this (i. e. the applying
of perfume), I went to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
and told her that Ibn 'Umar stated:" I do not like to
enter upon the state of Ihram shaking off the perfume.
Rubbing of tar (upon my body) is dearer to me than doing
it (the applying of perfume)." Thereupon 'A'isha said: I
applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) at the time of his entering upon the state of
Ihram. He then went round his wives and then put on Ihram
in the morning.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I used to
apply perfume to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him). He then went round his wives, and entered upon the
state of Ihram in the morning and the perfume was shaken
off.
Muhammad b. al-Muntashir reported on the authority of
his father: I heard from Ibn 'mar having said this:" It is
dearer to me to rub tar (on my body) than to enter upon
the state of Ihram (in a state) of shaking off the
perfume." He (the narrator) said: I went to 'A'isha and
told her about this statement of his (of Ibn 'Umar).
Thereupon she said: I applied perfume to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) and he then went round his
wives and then entered upon the state of Ihram in the
morning.
Chapter 7: HUNTING IS FORBIDDEN FOR ONE WHO IS IN
THE STATE OF IHRAM
Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama al-Laithi reported that he
presented a wild ass to Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) when he was at al-Abwa', or Waddan, and he
refused to accept it. He (the narrator) said: When the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) looked into my
face (which had the mark of dejection as my present had
been rejected by him) he (in order to console me) said: We
have refused it only because we are in a state of Ihram.
A hadith (pertaining to this topic), has been narrated
on the authority of Zuhri (and the words are):" I
presented to him (the Holy Prophet) a wild ass."
It is narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same
chain of transmitters (the narrator having) said this:" I
presented to him the flesh of a wild ass."
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
al-Sa'b b. Jaththama presented to the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) a wild ass as he was in a state of
Ihram, and he returned it to him saying: If we were not in
a state of Ihram, we would have accepted it from you.
The narration transmitted by Hakam (the words are):
Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama presented to the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) the leg of a wild ass. And in the
narration transmitted by Shu'ba (the words are): (He
presented to him) the rump of a wild ass as the blood was
trickling from it. In the narration transmitted by Shu'ba
on the authority of Habib (the words are): A part of a
wild ass was presented to the Apostle (may peace he upon
him) and he returned it to him (who presented it).
Tawus reported on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them) that one Zaid b. Arqamwent to him (Ibn
'Abbas) and said: Narrate how you informed me about the
meat of the game presented to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) as he was in the state of Ihram.
Thereupon he said: He was pre- sented with a slice of the
meat of game, but he returned it to him (who presented it)
saying: We are not going to eat it, as we are in the state
of Ihram.
Abu Qatada reported: We went with the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) till we reached al-Qaha (a
place three stages away from Medina). Some of us were in
the state of Ihram and some of us were not. I saw my
companions looking towards something, and as I saw I found
It to be a wild ass. I saddled my horse and took up my
spear and then mounted upon (the horse) and my whip, fell
down. I said to my companions as they were in the state of
Ihram to pick up the whip for me but they said: By Allah,
we cannot help you in any (such) thing (i. e. hunting). So
i dis- mounted (the horse) and picked it (whip) up and
mounted again and caught the wild ass after chasing it. It
was behind a hillock and I attacked it with my spear and
killed it. Then I brought it to my companions. Some of
them said: Eat it, while others said: Do not eat it. The
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) was in front of
us. I moved my horse and came to him (and asked him),
whereupon he said: It is permis- sible, so eat it.
Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
while he was with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) on one of the highways of Mecca, he lagged
behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who
were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not
Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he
asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which
had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to
hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself
took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it.
Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (way peace
be upon him) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to
do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) and asked him about it, and he said: It is a
food which Allah provided you (so eat it).
This hadith pertaining to the wild ass is reported on
the authority of Abu Qatada. The rest of the hadith is the
same but with this (variation of words) that the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:" Is there with you
some of its flesh?"
'Abdullah b. Abu Qatada reported: My father went with
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) in the year
of Hudaibiya. His Companions entered upon the state of
Ihram whereas he did not, for it was conveyed to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) that the enemy
(was hiding at) Ghaiqa. The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) went forward. He (Abu Qatada) said: Meanwhile
I was along with his Companions, some of them smiled (to
one another) As I cast a glance I saw a wild ass. I
attacked It with a spear and held it, and begged for their
(i. e. of his companions) assistance, but they refused to
help me and we ate its meat. But we were afraid lest we
should be separated (from the Messenger of Allah). So I
proceeded on (with a view to) seeking the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him). Some- times I'dashed my
horse and sometimes I made it run at a leisurely pace
(keeping pace with others). (In the meanwhile) I met a
person from Banfu Ghifar in the middle of the night. I
said to him: Where did you meet the messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him)? He said: I left him at Ta'bin and
he intended to halt at Suqya to spend the afternoon. I met
him and said: Messenger of Allah. your Companions convey
salutations and benedictions of Allah to you and they fear
that they may not be separated from you (and the enemy may
do harm to you), so wait for them, and he (the Holy
Prophet) waited for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, I
killed a game and there is left with me (some of the
meat). The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said
to his people: Eat it. And they were in the state of
Ihram.
'Abdullah b. Abo. Qatada reported on the ant 'hority of
his father (Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) set out for Pil- grimage and
we also set out along with him. He (Abu Qatada) said:
There proceeded on some of his Companions and Abu Qatada
was (one of them). He, (the Holy Prophet) said: You
proceed along the coastline till you meet me. He (Abfl
Qatida) said: So they proceeded ahead of the Prophet of
God (may peace be upon him), all of them had entered upon
the state of Ihram, except Abu Qatada; he had not put on
]hram. As they went on they saw a wild ass, and Abu Qatada
attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They got down and
ate its meat. They said: We ate meat In the state of
Ihram. They carried the meat that was left of it. As they
came to the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him)
they said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the state of
Ibrim where as Abu Qatada was not. We saw a wild ass and
Abu Qatada attacked it and cut off its hind legs. We got
down and ate its meat and we thus ate the meat of a game
while we were In the state of Ihram. We have (carried to
you) what was left out of its meat. There upon he (the
holy Prophet) said: Did anyone among you command him (to
hunt) or point to him with anythiny (to do so)? They said:
No. There upon he said: Then eat what is left out of its
meat.

'Abdullah b. Mauhab with the same chain of transmitters.

Shaiban (the words are):" The Messenoer of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: Did any one of you command him to
attack it or point towards it?" And in the narration
transmitted by Shu'ba (the words are):" Did you point out
or did you help or did you hunt?" Shu'ba said: I do not
know whether he said:" Did you help or did you hunt?"
Abdullah b. Abu Qatada narrated on the authority of his
father (Allah be pleased with him) that they went with the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on an

(again) said: I (Abu Qatada) hunted a wild ass and fed my
companions In the state of their being Muhrim. 1 then came
to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and
informed him that we had with us the meat that was left
out of it Thereupon he said: Eat It, while they were in
the state of Ibrim.

(the Holy Prophet) said: 15 there any- thing out of it?
They said: We have its leg with us. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) took it and ate it."
Abdullah b. Abi Qatada reported that Abu Qatada was
among the party of those who had entered upon the state of
Ihram whereas he was not. The rest of the hadith is the
same (and herein it is also narrated):" He (the Holy
Prophet) said: Did any person among you point to him (to
hunt) or command him (in any form)? They said: Messenger
of Allah, not at all. Thereupon he said: Then eat it."
Abd al-Rahman b. 'Uthman Taimi reported on the
authority of his father; While we were with Talha b.
Ubaidullah and were in the state of Ihram we were pre-
sented a (cooked) bird. Talha was sleeping. Some of us ate
it and some of us refrained from (eating) it. When Talba
awoke he agreed, with him who ate it, and said: We ate it
along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him).

THE STATE OF IHRAM IF THERE IS A TROUBLE, AND EXPIATION
BECOMES OBLIGATORY FOR SHAVING
Ka'b b. 'Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to me on
the occasion of Hudaibiya and I was kindling fire under my
cooking pot and lice were creeping on my face. Thereupon
he (the Holy Prophet) said: Do the vermins harm your head?
I said: Yes. He said: Get your head shaved and (in lieu of
it) observe fasts for three days or feed six needy
persons, or offer sacrifice (of an animal). Ayyub said: I
do not know with what (type of expiation) did he commence
(the statement).
Kalb b. Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported: It
was I for whom this verse was revealed (to the Holy
Prophet):" Whoever among you is sick or has an ail- ment
of the head, he (may effect) a compensation by lasting or
alms or a sacrifice" He said: I came to him (the Holy
Prophet) and he said: Come Dear. So Iwent near. He (again)
said: Come near. So I went near. Thereupon the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Do the vermins
trouble you? Ibn Aun (one of the narrators) said: I think
he (Ka'b b. Ujra) replied in the affirmative. He (the Holy
Prophet) then commanded to do compensation by fasting or
by giving @adaqa (feed- ing six needy persons) or by
sacrifice (of a animal) that is available.
Ka'b b. 'Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him) stood near
him and lice were falling from his head. Thereupon he (the
Holy Prophet) said: Do these vermins trouble you? I said:
Yes. Thereupon he said: Then shave your head; and it was
in connection with me that this verse was revealed:"
Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head,
he (may effect) a compensation by fasting or alms or a
sacrifice". He (the Holy Prophet, therefore) said to me:
Observe fast for three days or give a quantity of alms
enough to feed six needy persons or offer sacrifice (of an
animal) that is available.
Ka'b b. 'Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) happened to
pass by him at Hudaibiya before entering Mecca in a state
of Ibrim and he (Ka'b) was kindling fire under the cooking
pot and virmins were creeping on his (Kalb's) face.
Thereupon (the Holy Prophet) said: Dothese vermins trouble
you? He (Ka'b) said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (way
peace be upon him) said: Shave your head and give some
quantity of food enough to feed six needy persons (faraq
is equal to three sa's), or observe fast for three days or
offer sacri- fice of a sacrificial animal. Ibn Najih (one
of the narrators) said:" Or sacrifice a goat."

the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) happened to
pass by him during the period of Hudaibiya. Thereupon he
(the Holy Prophet) said to him (Ka'b b. Ujra): Do these
vermins trouble your head? He said: Yes. Thereupon he (the

or observe fasts for three days or give three sits of
dates to feed six needy persons.
Abdullah b. Ma'qil said: I sat with Ka'b (Allah be
pleased with him) and he was in the mosque. I asked him
about this verse:" Compensation in (the form of) fasting,
or Sadaqa or sacrifice." Ka'b (Allah be pleased with him)
said: It was reveal- ed In my case. There was some trouble
in my head. I was taken to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) and lice were creeping upon my face.
Thereupon he said: I did not think that your trouble had
become so unbearable as I see. Would you be able to afford
(the sacrificing) of a goat? I (Ka'b) said: Then this
verse was revealed:" Com- pensation (in the form of)
fasting or alms or a sacrifice." He (the Holy Prophet)
said: (It Implies) fasting for three days, or feeding six
needy perscins, half sa' of food for every needy person.
This verse was revealed particularly for me and (now) Its
applica- tion is general for all of you.
Ka'b b. Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
he went out with the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon
him) in the state of Ihram, and his (Ka'b's) head and
beard were infested with lice. This was conveyed to the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). He sent for him
(Ka'b) and called a barber (who) shaved his head. He (the
Holy Prophet) said. Is there any sacrificial animal with
you? He (Kalb) said: I cannot afford it. He then commanded
him to observe fasts for three days or feed six needy
persons, one sa' for every two needy persons. And Allah
the Exalted and Majestic revealed this (verse) particular
with regard to him:" So whosoever among you is sick and
has an ailment of the head.." ; then (its application)
became general for the Muslims.

the pain grew intense. He (Nubaib b. Wahb) sent (one) to

Ibrahim b. 'Abdullah narrated on the authorrity of his
father that there cropped up a difference of opinion
between Abdullah b. 'Abbas and al-Miswar b. Makhrama at a
place (called) Abwa'. Abdullah b. 'Abbas contended that a
Muhrim (is permitted) to wash his head, whereas Miswar
contended that a Muhrim is not (permit- fed) to wash his
head. So Ibn Abbas sent me (the father of Ibrabim) to Abu
Ayyub al- Ansirl to ask him about it. (So I went to him)
and found him taking bath behind two poles covered by a
cloth. I gave him salutation, whereupon be asked: Who is
this? I said: I am 'Abdullah b. Hunain. 'Abdullah b.
'Abbas has sent me to you to find out how the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) washed his head in the state
of Ihram. Abu Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) placed his
hand on the cloth and lowered it (a little) till his head
became visible to me; and he said to the man who was
pouring water upon him to pour water. He poured water on
his head. He then moved his head with the help of his
hands and moved them (the hands) forward and backward and
then said: This is how I saw him (the Messenger of Allah)
doing.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid

Ayyub rubbed his whole head with his hands and then moved
them forward and backward. Miswar said to Ibn 'Abbas: I
would never dispute with you (in future).

ENTER INTO THE STATE'OF IHRAM SINGULARLY FOR THE SAKE OF
HAJJ, OR FOR TAMATTU'BI'L-UMRA ILA'L-HAJJ OR FOR BOTH HAJJ
AND'UMRA TOGETHER
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We went with
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) during the
year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. We entered into the state
of Ibrim for Umra. Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said: Who has the sacrificial animal with
him, he should put on Ihram for Hajj along with Umra. and
should not put it off till he has completed them (both
Hajj and Umra). She said: When I came to Mecca. I was
having menses, I neither circumambulated the House, nor
ran between as-safa' and al-Marwa. I complained about it
to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he
said: Undo your hair, comb it, and pronounce Talbiya for
Hajj, and give up Umra (for the time being), which I did.
When we had performed the Hajj, the Messenger of Allah
(way peace he upon him) sent me with Abd al-Rabman b. Abu
Bakr to Tan'im saying: This is the place for your Umra.
Those who had put on Ibrim for Umra circumambulated the
House, and ran between al-safa' and al-Marwa. They then
put off Ihram and then made the last circuit after they
had returned from Mina after performing their Hajj, but
those who had combined the Hajj and the Umra made only one
circuit (as they had combined Hajj and 'Umra).

Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who
put on Ihram for 'Umra but did not bring the sacrificial
animal with him should put it off. and he who put on Ihram
for Umra and he who had brought the sacrificial animal
with him should not put it off until he had slaughtered
the animal; and he who put on lhram for Hajj should
complete it. A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I
was in the monthlyperiod, and I remained In this state
till the day of 'Arafa, and I had entered into the state

(again) and enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj, and
abandon (the rites of 'Umra). She ('A'isha) said: I did
so, and when I had completed my Pilgrimage, the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent with me 'Abd
al-Rabman b. Abu Bakr and commanded me to (resume the

sacrihcial animal with him should enter into the state of
Ibrim for Hajj along with 'Umra, and. he should not put
the Ibrim off till he has completed both of them. She
(Hadrat A'isha) said: The monthly period began. When it
was the nigt of Arafa, I said to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him): I entered into the state of Ihram
for 'Umra. but now how should I perform the Hajj?

desist from performing Umra, and put on Ihram for Hajj She

'Abd al-Rahman b. Abu Bakr to carry me behind him (on
boneback) in order to enable me to resume the rituals of
Umra from Tan'im, the place where I abandoned its rituals.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: 'We went
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) (to
Mecca). He said: He who intended among you to put on Ihram
for Hajj and Umra should do so. And he who intended to put
on Ihram for Hajj may do so. and he who intended to put on
Ihram for 'Umra only may do so. A'isha (Allah be pleased
with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon
him) put on Ihram for Hajj and some people did that along
with him. And some people put on Ihram for Umra and Hajj
(both). and some persons put on Ihram for Umra only, and I
was among those who put on Ihram for Umra (only).

his) Farewell Pilgrimage near the time of the appearance
of the new moon of Dhu'I-Hijja. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: He who amongst you intends
to put on Ihram for Umra may do so; bad I not brought
sacrificial animal along with me, I would have put on
Ihram for Umra. She (further said). There were some
persons who put on Ihram for Umrs, and some persons who
put on Ibrim for gajj, and 1 was one of those who put on
Ihram for Umra. We went on till we reached Mecca, and on
the day of 'Arafa I found myself In a state of menses, but
I did not put off the Ihram for Umra. I told about (this
state of mine) to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon
him). whereupon he said: Abandon your 'Umra, and undo the
hair of your head and comb (them), and put on Ihram for
Hajj 'she ('A'isha) said: I did accordingly. When it was
the night at Hasba and Allah enabled us to complete our
Hajj, he (the Holy Prophet) sent with me Abd al-Rahman b.
Abu Bakr, and he mounted me behind him on his camel and
took me to Tan'im and I put on Ihram for 'Umra, and thus
Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj and Umra and (we
wore required to observe) neither sacrifice nor alms nor
fasting.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We set out
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) just
at the appearance of the new moon of Dhu'l- Hijja. We had
no other intention but that of performing the Hajj,
whereupon the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: He who among you intends to put on Ihram for 'Umra
should do so for 'Umra. The rest of the badith is the
same.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) at the
appearance of the new moon of Dhu'I-Hijja. There were
amongst us those who had put on Ihram for Umra, and those
also who had put on Ihram both for Hajj and Umra, and
still those who had put on Ihram for Hajj (alone). I was
one of those who had put on Ihram for. Umra (only). 'Urwa
(one of the narrators) said: Allah enabled her (Hdrat
A'isha) to complete both Hajj and Umra (according to the
way as mentioned above). Hisham (one of the narrators)
said: She had neither the sacrificial animal nor (was she
required to) fast, nor (was she obliged to give) alms.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We proceeded
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) during
the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. There were those
amongst us who had put on Ihram for Umra, and those who
had put on Ibrim both for Hajj and" Umra, and those
amongst us who had put on Ihram for Hajj (only), while the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had put on
Ihram for Hajj (only). He who put on Ihrim for Umra put it
off (after performing Umra), and he who had put on Ihram
for Hajj or for both Hajj and 'Umra did not put it off
before the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja).
A'isba (Allah be pleased with her) said: We proceeded
with the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) with no
other Intention but that of performing the Hajj. As I was
at Sarif or near it, 1 entered in the state of menses. The
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to me and I
was weeping, whereupon he said: Are you in a state of
menses? I said. Yes. whereupon he said: This is what Allah
has ordained for all the daughters, of Adam. Do whatever
the pilgrim does. except that you should not
circumambulate the House till you have washed yourself (at
the end of the menses period). And the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) offered sacrifice of a cow on
behalf of his wives.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) with
no other aim but that of Hajj till we came (to the place
known as) Sarif; and there I entered in the state of
menses. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
came to me while I was weeping. He said: What makes you
weep? I said: Would that I had not come (for Pilgrimage)
this year. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has happened
to you? You have perhaps entered the period of menses. I
said: Yes. He said: This is what has been ordained for the
daughters of Adam. Do what a pilgrim does except that you
should not circumambu- late the House, till you are
purified (of the menses). She ('A'isha) said: When I came
to Mecca, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said to his companions: Make this (Ihram) the Ihram for
'Umra. So the people put off Ihbaim except those who had
sacrificial animals with them. She ('A'isha) said: The
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) had the
sacrificial animal with him, and so had Abd Bakr, 'Umar
and other persons of means. They (those who had put off
lhram again) put on Ihram (for Hajj) when they marched
(towards Mina), and it was the 8th of Dhu'I-Hijja. She
('A'isha) said: When it was the day of sacrifice (10th of
Dhu'I-Hijia), I was purified, and the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) commanded me and I did the
circumambulation of Ifada. She said that the flesh of cow
was sent to us. I said: What is It? They said: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) has offered cow
as sacrifice on behalf of his wives. When it was the might
at Hasba, I said: Messenger of Allah, people are coming
back from Hajj and Umra, where as I am coming back from
Hajj (alone). She (IA'isha) reported: He (the Holy
Prophet) commanded" Abd al- Rahman b. Abu Bakr to mount me
upon his camel behind him. She ('A'isha) said: I was very
young and I well remember that I dozed oil and my face
touched the bind part of the haudaj (camel litter) till we
came to Tan'im, and entered into the state of Ihram in
lieu of Umra (which I for the time being abandoned) and
which the people had performed.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We entered
into the state of. Ihram for Hajj till we were at Sarif
and I was in menses. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) came to me and I was weeping. The rest of the
hadith is the same but (with this portion) that there were
sacrificial animals with Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) and with Abu Bakr, Umar and with rich persons.
And they pro- nounced Talbiya as they proceeded on. And
there is no mention of this (too):" I was a girl of tender
age and I dozed off and my face touched the bind part of
the Haudaj."
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We
proceeded with the Mes- senger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) putting on the Ihram for Hajj during the months of
Hajj and the night of Hajj till we encamped at Sarlf. He
(the Holy Prophet) went to his Companiens and said: He who
has no sacrificial animal with him, in his case I wish
that he should perform Umra (with this Ihram), and he who
has the sacrificial animal with him should not do it. So
some of thtm performed Hajj whereas others who had no
sacrificial animals with them did not do (Hajj, but per-
formed only 'Umra). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) had the sacrificial animal with him and those
too who could afford it (performed) Hajj). The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to me (i. e. A'isha)
while I was weeping, and he said: What makes thee weep? I
said: I heard your talk with Companions about Umra. He
said: What has happened to you? I said: I do not observe
prayer (due to the monthly period), whereupon besaid: It
would not harm you; you should perform (during this time)
the rituals of Hajj (which you can do outside the House).
Maybe Allah will compensate you for this. You are one
among the daughters of Adam and Allah has ordained for you
as He has ordained for them. So I proceeded on (with the
rituals of Hajj) till we came to Mina. I washed myself and
then circumambuleted the House, and the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) encamped at Muhassab and called,
Abd al-Rahman b. Abua Bakr. and said: Take out your sister
from the precincts of the Ka'ba in order to put on Ihram
for Umra and circumambulate the House. and I shall wait
for you here. She said: So I went out and put on Ihram and
then circu- mambulated the House. and (ran) between
al-Safa and al-Marwa, and then we came to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) and he was in his bouse in
the middle of the night. He said: Have you completed your
(rituals)? I said: Yes. He then announced to his
Companions to march on. He came out, and went to the House
and circumambulated it before the dawn prayer and then
proceeded to Medina.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Some among us
put on Ihram for Hajj alone (Hajj Mufrad) ; some of us for
Hajj and Umra together (Qiran), and some of us for
Tamattal (first for Umra and after completing it for
Haii).
'Umra reported: I heard A'isha (Allah be pleased with
her) as saying: We went out with the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) five days before the end of Dhi
Qa'dah, and we did see but that he intended to perform
Hajj (only), but as we came near Mecca the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded that he who did
not have the sacrificial animal with him should put off
Ibrim after circumambulating the House and running between
al-Safa and aI-Marwa (and thus convert his Ihram from that
of Hajj to 'Umra). 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
said: The flesh of cow was sent to us on the Day of
Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja). I said. What is this? It
was said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
sacrificed (the cow) on behalf of his wives. Yabyi said: I
made a mention of this hadith (what has been stated by
Umra) to Qisim b. Muhammad, whereupon be said: By Allah,
she has rightly narrated it to you.
AI-Qasim narrated from the Mother of the Believers
(Hadrat 'A'isha) that she said: Messenger of Allah. the
people return (from Mecca) having ione two worships (both
Hajj and Umra), but I am coming back with one (only).
whereupon he said: You should wait and when the period of
menses is over, you should go to Tan'im and put on lhram
and then meet us at such and such time (and I think he
said tomorrow) ; and (the reward of this Umra) is for you
equal to your hardship or your spending.
Ibn al-Muththanna reported on the authority of Ibn
Abu'Adi who transmit- ted on the authority of Ibn'Aun who
narrated from al-Qasim and Ibrahim having said: I cannot
differentiate the badith of one from the other (Q[Lsim and
Ibribim) that the Mother of the Believers (Allah be
pleased with her) said this: Messenger of Allah, people
have come back with two acts of worship. The rest of the
hadith is the same.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went
with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and we
did not see but that he (intended to perform) Rajj (only),
but when we reached Mecca we circmambulated the House; and
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded
that he who did not have with him a sacrificial animal
should put off Ihram. She (A'isha) said: (And consequent-
ly) those who did not bring the sacrificial anima) s with
them put off Ihram; and among his wives (too) who had not
brought the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram.
A'isha said: I entered in the monthly period and could not
(therefore) circumambulate the House. When it was the
night of Hasba she said: Messenger of Allah, people are
coming. back (after having performed @oth) Hajj and'Umra,
whereas I am coming back only with Hajj, whereupon he
said: Did you not eircumambulate (the Ka'ba) that very
night we intered Mecca? She (A'isha) said: No, whereupon
he said: Go along with your brother to Tan'im and put on
the Ihram for Umra, and it is at such and such a place
that you can meet (us). (In the meanwhile) Safiyya (the
wife of the Holy Prophet) said: I think, I will detain you
(since I have entered in the monthly) period and you shall
have to wait for me for the farewell circuit). Thereupon
he (the Holy Prophet) said: May you be wounded and your
head shorn did you not circumambulate on the Day of
Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja)? She said: Yes. The Holy
Prophet (way peace be upon him) said: There is no harm.
You should go forward. 'A'isha said: The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) was going upwards to the
side of Mecca, whereas I was coming down from it, or I was
going upward, whereas he was coming down. Isbiq said: She
was clim bing down, and he was climbing down.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased, with her) reported: We went
out with the Mes. senger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
pronouncing Talbiya having no explicit inten- tion of
Pilgrimage or 'Umra. The rest of the hadith is the same.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came out on the
4th or 5th of Dhul'I-Hijja (for Pilgrimage to Mecca) and
came to me, and he was very angry. I said: Messenger of
Allah, who has annoyed you? May Allah cast him in fire I
He said: Don't you know that I commanded the people to do
an act, but they are hesitant. (Hakam said: I think that
he said: They seem to be hesitant.) And if I were to know
my affair before what I had to do subsequently, I would
not have brought with me the sacrificial animals, and
would have bought them (at Mecca) and would have put off
lhram as others have done.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) came out (for
Pilgrimage) on The 4th or 5th of Dbu'l Hjjja. The rest of
the hadith is the same, but he (the narrator) made no
mention of the doubt of Hakam about his (the Prophet's)
words:" They were reluctant."
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that she
put on Ihram for, Umra and arrived 'at Mecca) but did not
circumambulate the House as she had entered in the period
of menses, and then put on Ihram for Hajj and performed
all the rituals concerning it (except circumambulating the
House). The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said
to her on the day of march (when pilgrims come to Mina):
Your circumambulation would suffice both Hajj and Umra.
She, however, felt reluc- tant. Thereupon the Holy Prophet
(may peace be upon him) sent her with 'Abd al- Rahman to
Tan'im and she performed Umra (with separate rituals)
after Hajj.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that she
entered in the monthly period at Sarif, and took bath at
'Arafa (after the period was over). The messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said to her: Your circumambulation
between al Safa and al-Marwa is enough for your Hajj and
'Umra.
Safiyya hint Shaiba reported that 'A'isha (Allah be
pleased with her) said: Messenger of Allah, lo! the people
are returning with two rewards whereas I am return- ing
with one reward. Thereupon he commanded 'Abd al-Rahman b.
Abu Bakr to take her to al-Tan'im. She ('A'isha) said: He
seated me behind him on his camel. She (further) stated: I
lifted my head covering and took it off from my neck. He
struck my foot as if he was striking the camel. I said to
him: Do you find anyone bere? She (further) said: I
entered into the state of Ihram fond. 'Umra till we
reached the Messen- ger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
and he was at Hasba.
Abd al-Rahman b. Abu Bakr reported that the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered him to mount A'isha
behind him and enable her to (enter into the state of
Ibrim for 'Umra) at Tan'im.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We, in the
state of lhram, came with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) for Hajj Mufrad (with the aim of Hajj
only), and 'A'isha set out for Umra, and when we reached
Sarif, she (Hadrat A'isha) entered in the state of monthly
period; we proceeded on till we reached (Mecca) and
circumambulated the Ka'ba and ran between (al-Safa) and
al-Marwa; and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) commanded that one who amongst us had no sacrificial
animal with him should put off Ihram. We said: What does
this" Putting off" imply? He said: Getting out completely
from the state of lhram, (so we put off Ihram), and we
turned to our wives and applied perfume and put on our
clothes. and we were at a four night's distance from
'Arafa. And we again put on Ihram on the day of Tarwiya
(8th of Dhu'l-Hijja). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) came to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and
found her weeping, and said: What is the matter with you?
She said: The matter is that I have entered in the monthly
period, and the people had put off lhram, but I did not
and I did not circumambulate the House, and the people are
going for Hajj now (but I can't go), whereupon he said: It
is the matter which Allah has ordaiucd for the daughters
of Adam, so now take a bath and put on Ihram for Hajj. She
('A'isha) did accordingly, and stayed at the places of
staying till the monthly period was over. She then circu-
mambulated the House, and (ran between) al-Safa and
al-Marwa. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: Now both your
Hajj and 'Umra are complete, whereupon she said: I feel in
my mind that I did not circumambulate the House till I
performed Hajj (I missed the circumambulation of 'Umra).
Thereupon he (Allah's Apostle) said: 'Abd al- Rahman, take
her to Tan'im (so as to enable her) to perform Umra
(separately), and it was the night at Hasba.
Jabir b. Abdullah is reported to have said that the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to 'A'isha
(Allah be pleased with her) and she was weeping. The rest
of the hadith is the same.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that A'isha (Allah be
pleased with her) enter- ed into the state of Ihram
(separately) for 'Umra while the Prophet (may peace be
upon him) was performing Hajj. The rest of the hadith is
the same, but with this addi- tion: The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) was a person of gentle disposi-
tion, so when she (A'Isha) wished for a thing, he accepted
it (provided it did not contravene the teachings of
Islam). So he (in pursuance of her desire for a separate
lhram for Umra) sent her with 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abu Bakr
and she put on Ihram for 'Umra at al-Tan'im. Matar and Abu
Zubair (the two narrators amongst the chain of
transmitters) said: Whenever 'A'isha performed Hajj she
did as she bad done along with Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him).
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said.: We went with
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in 'a state of
Ihram for the Hajj. There were women and children with us.
When we reached Mecca we circumambulated the House and
(ran) between al-Safa and al-Marwa. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: He who has no sacrificial
animal with him should put off lhram. We said: What kind
of putting off? He said: Getting out of lhram completely.
So we came to our wives, and put on our clothes and
applied perfume. When it was the day of Tarwiya, we put on
Ihram for Hajj. and the first circumambulation and
(running) between al-Safa and al-Marwa sufficed us..
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded us to
become seven partners (in the sacrifice) of a camel and a
cow.
Jabir b. Abdullah reported that the Apostle of Allah
(may peace be upon him) ordered us to put on Ihram (again)
as we proceeded towards Mina after we had put it off (i.
e. 'on the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijja). So we pronounced Talbiya
at al-Abtah.
Jabir b. Abdullah is reported to have said: Neither
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) nor his Companions
(circumambulated the Ka'ba and) ran between al-Safa and
al-Marwa but once (sufficing both for Hajj and 'Umra). But
in the hadith transmitted by Muhammad b. Bakr there is an
addition:" That is first circumambu- lation."
'Ata'reported: I, along with some people, heard Jabir
b. 'Abdullah saying: We the Companions of Muhammad (may
peace be upon him) put on Ihram for Hajj only. Ata'
further said that Jabir stated: Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) came on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja and he
commanded us to put off Ihram. 'Ata'said that he (Allah's
Apostle) commanded them to put off Ihram and to go to
their wives (for inter- course). 'Ata' said: It was not
obligatory for them, but (intercourse) with them had
become permissible. We said: When only five days had been
left to reach 'Arafa, he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us
to have intercourse with our wives. And we reached 'Arafa
in a state as if we had just intercoursed (with tbem). He
('Ata') said: Jabir pointed with his hand and I (perceive)
as if I am seeing his hand as it moved. In the (meantime)
the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood amongst
us and said: You are well aware that I am the most
God-fearing, most truthful and most pious amongst you. And
if there were not sacrificial animals with me, I would
also have put off Ihram as you have put off. And if I were
to know this matter of mine what I have come to know later
on. I would not have brought sacrificial animals with me.
SO they (the Companions) put. olf Ihrim and we also put
off and listened to (the Holy Prophet) and obeyed (his
command). Jabir said: 'All came with the revenue of the
taxes (from Yemen). He (the Holy Prophet) said: For what
(purpose) have you entered into the state of Ihram
(whether you entered into the state purely for Hajj and,
Umra jointly or Hajj and Umra separately)? He said: For
the purpose for which the Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him) had entered. (The Holy Prophet had entered as a
Qiran, i. e. Ihram covering both Umra and Hajj
simultaneously.) Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: Offer a sacrifice of animal, and retain
Ihram. And 'All brought a sacrificial animal for him (for
the Holy Prophet). Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'shum said:
Messenger of Allah, is it (this concession putting off
Ihram of Hajj or Umra) meant for this year or is it for
ever?. He said: It is for ever.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: We entered with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) in the state of Ihram for Hajj. When we
came to Mecca he commanded us to put off Ihrim and make it
for 'Umra. We felt It (the command) hard for us, and our
hearts were anguished on account of this and it (this
reaction of the people) reached the Apostle of Allah (may
peace be upon him). We do not know whether he received
(this news) from the Heaven (through revelation) or from
the people. (Whatever the case might be) he said; O
people, put off Ihram. If there were not the sacrificial
animals with me, I would have done as you do. So we put
off the Ihram (after performing Umra), and we bad
intercourse with our wives and did everything which a
non-Muhrim does (applying perfume, putting on clothes,
etc.), and when It was the day of Tarwiya (8th of
Dhu'l-Hijja) we turned our back to Mecca (in order to go
to Mini, 'Arafat) and we put on lhram for Hajj.
Musa b. Nafi reported: I came to Mecca as a Mutamattil
for Umra (per- forming Umra first and then putting off
lhram and again entering into the state of Ihram for Hajj)
four days before the day of Tarwiya (i. e. on tee 4th of
Dhu'l-Hijja). Thereupon the people said: Now yours is the
Hajj of the Meccans. I went to 'Ata' b. Abi Rabah and
asked his religious verdict. Ata' said: Jabir b. 'Abdullah
al'Ans-ari (Allah be pleased wa'th them) narrated to me
that he peirforfned Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) in the year when he took sacrificial
animals with him (i. e. during the 10th year of Hijra
known as the Farewell Pilgrimage) and they had put on
Ihram for Hajj only (as Mufrid). The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: Put off Ihram and
circumambulate the House, and (run) between al-Safa and
al-Marwa. and get your hair cut and stay as non-Muhrims.
When it was the day of Tarwiya, then put on Ihram for Hajj
and make lhram for Mut'a (you had put on Ihram i f or
Hajj, but take it off af ter perf orming Umra and then
again put on Ihram for Hajj). They said: How should we
make it Mut'a although we entered upon lhram in the name
of Hajj? He said: Do whatever I command you to do. Had I
not brought sacrificial animals with me, I would have done
as I have commanded you to do. But it is not permissible
for me to put off Ihram till tLe sacrifice is offered.
Then they also did accordingly.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: We set out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as Muhrim for Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) commanded us to make this Ihram for
Umra, and some put it off (af ter performing 'Umra), but
the Prophet (may peace be upon him) had sacrificial
animals with him, so he could not make it (this Ihram) as
that of Umra.
Abu Nadra reported: Ibn'Abbas commanded the performance
of Mut'a putting lhram for 'Umra during the months of
Dhu'I-Hijja and after completing it. then putting on Ibrim
for Hajj), but Ibn Zubair forbade to do it. I made a
mention of it to Jabir b. Abdullih and he said: It is
through me that this hadith has been circulated. We
entered into the state of Ihram as Tamattu' with the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). When 'Umar was
Installed as Caliph, he said: Verily Allah made
permissible for His Messenger (may peace be upon him)
whatever He liked and as Re liked. And (every command) of
the Holy Qur'an has been revealed for every occasion. So
accomplish Hajj and Umra for Allah as Allah has commanded
you; and confirm by (proper conditions) the marriage of
those women (with whom you have performed Mut'a). And any
person would come to me with a marriage of appointed
duration (Mut'a), I would stone him (to death). Qatada
narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters
saying: (That 'Umar also said): Separate your Hajj from
'Umra, for that is the most complete Hajj, and complete
your Umra.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: We came with the Messenger of Allah (May peace
be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for Hajj, and the
Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) commanded us to
make (our Ihram) into that of Umra.
FAREWELL PILGRIMAGE OF THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (MAY PEACE
BE UPON HIM)
Just as the first revelation in the cave of Hira' marks
the advent of the apostolic mission of Muhammad (May peace
be upon him), similarly his Farewell Pilgrimage marks its
crowning glory. Opinions differ as to when Hajj became
obligatory but the commonly accepted opinion is that it
was in the eighth year of Hijra that Allah declared it as
one of the five fundamentals of Islam. In the ninth year
of Hijra the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) sent Abu
Bakr as the leader of the Hajj delegation but he himself
did not go. Hadrat Abu Bakr was later on joined by Hadrat
Ali in order to make a sure declaration on behalf of the
Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) which concerned the
freedom from obligation in regard to those idolatrous
tribes who had shown no respect for the treaties which
they had entered into with the Holy Prophet (May peace be
upon him). This declaration is contains in the opening
verses of Sura Tauba.
The Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him) spent this
year in making preparations for the Hajj in the tenth year
of Hijra which coincided with the sixty-third year (the
last year) of his life. Every attempt was, therefore, made
to take full advantage of this great assembly. Messengers
were sent to all parts of Arabia inviting people to join
him in this great Pilgrimage. It was necessary for them
since they should learn by first-hand knowledge the
several injunctions and practices of the Pilgrimage-free
from all taints of ignorance-an ideal pattern which was to
be kept intact in its pristine glory for all times to
come. Not only the rites and rituals of the Pilgrimage
were to be finally explained by the Holy Prophet (May
peace be upon him) but all those things which had any
concern with Islam had been finalized.
The Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him) delivered a
khutba on the 24th of Dhi-Qa'da on the occasion of the
Friday prayer and gave the Muslims necessary instructions
relating to Hajj. Next day, I. e. on the 25th of
Dhi-Qa'da, he set out after Zuhr prayer on a journey for
Hajj along with thousands of his devoted Companions. The
'Asr prayer was offered at Dhu'l-Hulaifa. The caravan
spent the night there and it was there after the Zuhr
prayer that the Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him) and
his Companions put on Ihram and proceeded towards Mecca.
They reached their destination on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja
pronouncing Talbiya (Labbaik, Labbaik, Allahumma Labbaik).
As the caravan moved on the number of participants
swelled till, according to some of the narrators, it
reached more than one lakh and thirty thousands. The
Farewell Pilgrimage is one of the most important occasions
in the sacred life of Muhammad (May peace be upon him).
Apart from the rites and rituals, the addresses and
speeches of the Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him)
succinctly sum up the teachings of Islam.
Ja'far b Muhammad reported on the authority of his
father: We went to Jabir b. Abdullah and he began
inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till
it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad b. 'Ali b. Husain.
He placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button
and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my
chest (in order to bless me), and I was, during those
days, a young boy, and he said: You are welcome, my
nephew. Ask whatever you want to ask. And I asked him but
as he was blind (he could not respond to me immediately),
and the time for prayer came. He stood up covering himself
in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his
shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in
size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes
rack near by. And he led us in the prayer. I said to him:
Tell me about the Hajj of Allah's Messenger (May peace be
upon him). And he pointed with his hand nine, and then
stated: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform
Hajj, then he made a public announcement in the tenth year
to the effect that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of
persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to
follow the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and
do according to his doing. We set out with him till we
reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth
to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger
of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What should 1
do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your
private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah
(May peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then
mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with
him on its back at al-Baida'. And I saw as far as I could
see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and also on
my right and on my left and behind me like this. And the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was prominent
among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an was
descending upon him. And it is he who knows (its true)
significance. And whatever he did, we also did that. He
pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0
Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and
grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no
partner."
And the people also pronounced this Talbiya which they
pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be
upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the
Messenger of Allah (May peace. be upon him) adhered to his
own Talbiya. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) said: We
did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only,
being unaware of the Umra (at that season), but when we
came with him to the House, he touched the pillar and
(made seven circuits) running three of them and walking
four. And then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he
recited:" And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of
prayer." And this Station was between him and the House.
My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a
mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle [May peace
be upon him] that he recited in two rak'ahs:" say: He is
Allah One," and say:" Say: 0 unbelievers." He then
returned to the pillar (Hajar Aswad) and kissed it. He
then went out of the gate to al-Safa' and as he reached
near it he recited:" Al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the
signs appointed by Allah," (adding: ) I begin with what
Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted
al-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he
declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and
said:" There is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner
with Him. His is the Sovereignty. to Him praise is due.
and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but
Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant
and routed the confederates alone." He then made
supplication in the course of that saying such words three
times. He then descended and walked towards al-Marwa, and
when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley, he
ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached
al-Marwa. There he did as he had done at al-Safa'. And
when it was his last running at al-Marwa he said: If I had
known beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I
would not have brought sacrificial animals and would have
performed an 'Umra. So, he who among you has not the
sacrificial animals with him should put off Ihram and
treat it as an Umra. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'sham got up and
said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present
year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of
Allah (May peace be upon him) intertwined the fingers (of
one hand) into another and said twice: The 'Umra has
become incorporated in the Hajj (adding):" No, but for
ever and ever." 'All came from the Yemen with the
sacrificial animals for the Prophet (May peace be upon
him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be
one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed
clothes and had applied antimony. He (Hadrat'Ali) showed
disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has
commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that 'Ali
used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) showing annoyance at Fatimah for what
she had done, and asked the (verdict) of Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) regarding what she had narrated
from him, and told him that I was angry with her,
whereupon he said: She has told the truth, she has told
the truth. (The Holy Prophet then asked 'Ali): What did
you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I ('Ali) said:
0 Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose as Thy
Messenger has put it on.
He said: I have with me sacrificial animals, so do not
put off the Ihram. He (Jabir) said: The total number of
those sacrificial animals brought by 'Ali from the Yemen
and of those brought by the Apostle (may peace be upon
him) was one hundred. Then all the people except the
Apostle (may peace be upon him) and those who had with
them sacrificial animals, put off Ihram, and got their
hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of
Dhu'l-Hijja) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for
Hajj and the Messenger of Ailah (may peace be upon him)
rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset 'Isha' and dawn
prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose, and
commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namira.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then set
out and the Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at
al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site) as the Quraish used
to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), however, passed on till he came
to 'Arafa and he found that the tent had been pitched for
him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed
the meridian; he commanded that al-Qaswa should be brought
and saddled for him. Then he came to the bottom of the
valley, and addressed the people saying: Verily your
blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the
sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours,
in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertaining to
the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely
abolished. Abolished are also the blood-revenges of the
Days of Ignorance.
The first claim of ours on blood-revenge which I
abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a b. al-Harith, who was
nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhail. And
the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the
first of our usury I abolish is that of 'Abbas b. 'Abd
al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah
concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the
security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made
lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over
them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your
bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can
chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are
that you should provide them with food and clothing in a
fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah,
and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And
you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection),
(now tell me) what would you say? They (the audience)
said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the
message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and
given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He
(the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the
sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be
witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice. (Bilal
then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqama and he (the Holy
Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered
Iqama and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer
and he observed no other prayer in between the two.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then
mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, making
his she-camel al-Qaswa, turn towards the side where there
we are rocks, having the path taken by those who went on
foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept
standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had
somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He
made Usama sit behind him, and he pulled the nosestring of
Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in
order to keep her under perfect control), and he pointed
out to the people with his right hand to be moderate (in
speed), and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated
tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of
his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached
al-Muzdalifa. There he led the evening and 'Isha prayers
with one Adhan and two Iqamas and did not glorify (Allah)
in between them (i. e. he did not observe supererogatory
rak'ahs between Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers). The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) then lay down till dawn
and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqama when
the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa,
and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, he faced towards
Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and pronounced His
Uniqueness (La ilaha illa Allah) and Oneness, and kept
standing till the daylight was very clear.
He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated
behind him was al-Fadl b. 'Abbas and he was a man having
beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As
the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was moving
on, there was also going a group of women (side by side
with them). Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) placed his hand on the
face of Fadl who then turned his face to the other side,
and began to see, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) turned his hand to the other side and placed it
on the face of al-Fadl. He again turned his face to the
other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. 1680 He
urged her (al-Qaswa) a little, and, following the middle
road, which comes out at the greatest jamra, he came to
the jamra which is near the tree. At this be threw seven
small pebbles, saying Allah-o-Akbar while throwing every
one of them in a manner in which the small pebbles are
thrown (with the help of fingers) and this he did in the
bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of
sacrifice, and sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his
own hand. Then he gave the remaining number to 'All who
sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He
then commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal
sacrificed should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked,
both of them (the Holy Prophet and Hadrat 'All) took some
meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah
(May peace be upon him) again rode and came to the House,
and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe
of Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam,
and said: Draw water. O Bani 'Abd al-Muttalib; were it not
that people would usurp this right of supplying water from
you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed
him a basket and he drank from it.
Ja'far b. Muhammad narrated on the authority of his
father thus: I came to Jabir b. Abdullah and asked him
about the (Farewell) Pilgrimage of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him). The rest of the hadith is the same,
but with the addition of this:" There was one Abu Sayyara
among the Arabs, (of pre-Islamic period) who carried
(people from Muzdalifa to Mini). As the Messenger of Allah
(May peace be upon him) set out from Muzdalifa to
al-Mash'ar al-Haram, the Quraish were certain that he
would halt there and that would be his station. But he
passed on (without staying) there. and paid no heed to it
till he came to 'Arafat and there he stayed."
Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (May peace be upon
him) as saying: I have sacrificed (the animals) here, and
the whole of Mini is a place for sacrifice; so sacrifice
your animals at your places. 1 have stayed here (near
these rocks), and the whole of Arafat is a place for stay.
And I have stayed here (at Muzdalifa near Mash'ar al-Haram
and the whole of Muzdalifa) is a place for stay (i. e. one
is permitted to spend night in any part of it, as one
likes).
Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported
that when Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
proceeded to Mecca, he came to it (the Black Stone). he
kissed it. and moved to his right. and moved quickly in
three circuits, and walked in four circuits.
Chapter 18: STAYING AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
VERSE:, THEN HASTEN ON FROM WHERE THE PEOPLE HASTEN ON (ii.
199)
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the
Quraish (of the pre-Islamic days) and those who followed
their religions practices stayed at Muzdalifa, and they
named themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed
at 'Arafa. With the advent of Islam, Allah, the Exalted
and Glorious, commanded His Apostle (may peace be upon
him) to come to 'Arafat and stay there, and then hurry
from there, and this is the significance of the words of
Allah:" Then hasten on from where the people hasten on."
Hisham narrated on the authority of his father that the
Arabs with the exception of Hums who were Quraish, and
their descendants, circumambulated the House naked. They
kept circumambulating In this state of nudity unless the
Hums supplied to them the clothes. The male provided
(clothes) to the male and the female provided clothes to
the female. And the Hums did not get out of Muzdalifa,
whereas the people (other than the Quraish) went t o
'Arafat. Hisham said on the authority of his father who
related from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) who said:
Hums are those about whom Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
revealed this verse:" Then hasten to where the people
hasten." She (further) said: The people hastened on from
'Arafat, whereas Hums hastened from Muzdalifa, and said:
We'do not hasten but from Haram. But when this (verse) was
revealed:" Hasten on from that (place) where the people
hasten on," they (the Quraish) then went to 'Arafat.
Jubair. b. Mut'im reported: I lost my camel and went in
search of it on the day of 'Arafa, and I saw the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) staying along with people
in 'Ara'fit. Thereupon I said: By Allah, he is among the
Hums (Quraish) ; what has happened to him that he has come
to this (place)? The Quraish were counted among Hums.
Chapter 19: PERMISSIBILITY OF SAYING ONE HAS
ENTERED INTO IHRAM LIKE THE IHRAM OF THE OTHER ONE OR
ABROGATION OF PUTTING OFF IHRAM AND COMPLETING (HAJJ AND
UMRA)
Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as he was
encamping at Batha. He said to me: Did you intend to
perform Hajj? I said: Yes. He again said: With what
intention have you entered into the state of Ihram (for
Ifrad, Qiran or Tamattu'). I said: I pronounced Talbiya (I
have entered into the state of Ihram ) with that very aim
with which the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) is
pronouncing Talbiya. He (the Holy Prophet) said; You have
done well. Then circumambulate the House and run between
al-Safa' and al-Marwa' and put off Ihram (as you have not
brought the sacrificial animals along with you). So I
circumambulated the House, and ran between al-Safa' and
al-Marwa' and then came to a woman of the tribe of Qais
and she rid my head of the lice. I again put on Ihram for
Hajj. and continued giving religious verdict (according to
this practice) till during the Caliphate of Umar (Allah be
pleased with him) when a person said to him: Abu Musa, or
Abdullah b. Qais, exercise restraint in delivering some
religious verdict of yours, for you do not know what has
been introduced after you by the Commander of the
Believers in the rites (of Hajj). Thereupon he said: 0
people, whom we gave the religious verdict (concerning
putting off Ihram ) they should wait, for the Commander of
the Believers is about to come to you, and you should
follow him. Umar (Allah be pleased with him) then came and
I made a mention of it to him. whereupon he said: If we
abide by the Book of Allah (we find) the Book of Allah has
commanded us to complete the (. Hajj and 'Umra), and if we
abide by the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him), we find that Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) did not put off Ihram till the sacrificial
animal was brought to its end (till it was sacrificed).
Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came
to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he
was encamping at Batha. He (the Holy Prophet) said: With
what purpose have you entered into the state of Ihram? I
said: I have entered into the state of Ihram in accordance
with the Ihram of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him).
He said: Have you brought sacrificial animals along with
you? I said: No. whereupon he said: Then circumambulate
the House and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwa and put
off Ihram. So I circumambulated the House, ran between
al-Safa' and al-Marwa, and then came to a woman of my
tribe. She combed and washed my head. I used to give
religious verdict (according to the above mentioned
command of the Holy Prophet) during the Caliphate of Abu
Bakr and also during that of 'Umar. And it was during the
Hajj season that a person came to me and said: You
(perhaps) do not know what the Commander of the Believers
has introduced in the rites (of Hajj). I said: 0 people,
those whom we have given religious verdict about a certain
thing should wait, for the Commander of the Believers is
about to arrive among you, so follow him. When the
Commander of the Believers arrived, I said: What is this
that you have introduced in the rites (of Hajj)? -where
upon he said: If we abide by the Book of Allah (we find)
that there Allah, Exalted and Majestic, has said: Complete
Hajj and 'Umra for Allah." And if we abide by the Sunnah
of our Apostle (may peace be upon him) (we find) that the
Apostle of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not put off
Ihram till he had sacrificed the animals.
Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon im) had sent me to
Yemen and I came back In the year in which he (the Holy
Prophet) performed the (Farewell) Pilgrimage. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon, him) said to me: Abu Musa,
what did you ' say when you entered into the state of
Ihram? I said: At thy beck and call; my (Ihram) is that of
the Ihram of Allah's Apostle (May peace be upon him). He
said: Have you brought the sacrificial animals? I said:
No. Thereupon he said: Go and circumambulate the House,
and (run) between al-Safa' and al-Marwa and then put off
Ihram. The rest of the hadith is the same.
Abu Musa, (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he
used to deliver religious verdict in favor of Hajj
Tamattu'. A person said to him: Exercise restraint in
delivering some of your religious verdicts, for you do not
know what the Commander of Believers has introduced in the
rites (of Hajj) after you (when you were away in Yemen).
He (Abu Musa, ) met him (Hadrat Umar) subsequently and
asked him (about it), whereupon 'Umar said: I know that
Allah's Apostle (May peace be upon him) and also his
Companions did that (observed Tamattu'), but I do not
approve that the married persons should have intercourse
with their wives under the shade of the trees, and then
set out for Hajj with water trickling down from their
beads.
Chapter 20: PERMISSIBILITY OF THE TAMATTU, (FORM
OF PILGRIMAGE)
'Abdullah b. Shaqiq reported that 'Uthman (Allah be
pleased with him) used to forbid Tamattu', whereas 'Ali
(Allah be pleased with him) ordered to do it. 'Uthman said
a word to 'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to
perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him), whereupon he said: It is right, but we
entertained fear. This hadith has been narrated by Shu'ba
with the same chain of transmitters.
Sa'id b. al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman
(Allah be pleased with them) met at 'Usfan; and Uthman
used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umra
(during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is
your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) did but you forbid it? Thereupon
Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said:
I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on
Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umra).
Abu Dharr (Allah be pleased with him) said: Two are the
Mut'as which were not permissible but only for us, i. e.
temporary marriage with women and Tamattu' in Hajj.
'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi al-Sha'tha' reported: I came to
Ibrahim al-Nakha'I and Ibrahim Taimi and said: I intend to
combine 'Umra and Hajj this year, whereupon Ibrahim
al-Nakha'i said: But your father did not make such
intention. Ibrahim narrated on the authority of, his
father that he passed by Abu Dharr (Allah be pleased with
him) at Rabdha, and made a mention of that, whereupon he
said: It was a special concession for us and not for you.
Ghunaim b. Qais said: I asked Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas (Allah
be pleased with him) about Mut'a, whereupon he said: We
did that, and it was the day when he was an unbeliever
living in (one of the) houses of Mecca.
Mutarrif reported: 'Imran b. Husain said to me: Should
I not narrate to you a hadith today by which Allah will
benefit you subsequently-and bear in mind that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) made some members of his
family perform 'Umra within ten days of Dhu'l-Hijja. No
verse was revealed to abrogate that, and he (the Holy
Prophet) did not refrain from doing it till he died. So
after him everyone said as he liked, (but it would be his.
personal opinion and not the verdict of the Shari'ah).
This hadith been narrated on the authority of Jurairi
with the same chain of transmitters, and Ibn Hatim said in
his narration:" A person said according to his personal
opinion, and it was Umar."
Imran b. Husain reported: I am narrating to you a
hadith by which Allah will benefit you (and the hadith is)
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) combined
Hajj and 'Umra, and he did not forbid (this combination)
till he died. (Moreover) nothing was revealed in the Holy
Qur'an which forbade it. And I was always blessed till I
was branded and then it (blessing) was abandoned. I then
abandoned branding and it (the blessing was restored).
Mutarrif reported: 'Imran b. Husain sent for me during
his illness of which he died, and said: I am narrating to
you some ahadith which may benefit you after me. If I live
you conceal (the fact that these have been transmitted by
me), and if I die, then you narrate them if you like (and
these are): I am blessed, and bear in mind that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) combined Hajj
and Umra. Then no verse was revealed in regard to it in
the Book of Allah (which abrogated it) and the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) did not forbid (from doing
it). And whatever a person (, Umar) said was out of his
personal opinion.
'Imran b. al-Husain (Allah be pleased with him) said:
Know well that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
combined 'Hajj and 'Umra, and nothing was revealed in the
Book (to abrogate it), and the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) too did not forbid us from (combining)
them. And whatever a person said was out of his personal
opinion.
'Imran b. Husain (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
We performed Tamattu' (Hajj and 'Umra combining together)
in the company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him), and nothing was revealed in the Qur'an (concerning
the abrogation of this practice), and whatever a person
(Hadhrat 'Umar) said was his personal opinion. 'Imran b.
Husain narrated this hadith (in these words also):"
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) performed Hajj
Tamattu' and we also performed it along with him."
'Imran b. Husain said: There was revealed the verse of
Tamattu' in Hajj in the Book of Allah and the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded us to perform it.
and then no verse was revealed abrogating the Tamattu'
(form of Hajj), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) did not forbid to do it till he died. So
whatever a person said was his personal opinion. A hadith
like this is transmitted on the authority of Imran b.
Husain, but with this variation that he ('Imran) said: We
did that (Tamattu') in the company of Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) and he did not say anything but he
(the Holy Prophet) commanded us to do it.
Chapter 21: SACRIFICING OF ANIMAL IS OBLIGATORY
FOR TAMATTU., BUT HE WHO DOES NOT DO IT IS REQUIRED TO
OBSERVE FAST FOR THREE DAYS DURING THE HAJJ AND FOR SEVEN
DAYS WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE FAMILY
Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
observed Tamattu' in Hajjat-ul-Wada'. He first put on
Ihram for 'Umra and then for Hajj. and then offered animal
sacrifice. So he drove the sacrificial animals with him
from Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) commenced Ihram of Umra and thus pronounced Talbiya
for 'Umra. and then (put on Ihram for Hajj) and pronounced
Talbiya for Hajj. And the people performed Tamattu' in the
company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). They
put on Ihram for Umra (first) and then for Hajj. Some of
them had sacrificial animals which they had brought with
them, whereas some of them had none to sacrifice. So when
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to Mecca,
he said to the people: He who amongst you has brought
sacrificial animals along with him must not treat as
lawful anything which has become unlawful for him till he
has completed the Hajj; and he, who amongst you has not
brought the sacrificial animals should circumambulate the
House, and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwa and clip (his
hair) and put off the Ihram, and then again put on the
Ihram for Hajj and offer sacrifice of animals. But he who
does not find the sacrificial animal, he should observe
fast for three days during the Hajj and for seven days
when he returns to his family. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) circumambulated (the House) when he
came to Mecca: he first kissed the corner (of the Ka'ba
containing the Black Stone), then ran in three circuits
out of seven and walked in four circuits. And then when he
had finished the circumambulation of the House he observed
two rak'ahs of prayer at the Station (of Ibrahim), and
then pronounced Salaam (for concluding the rak'ahs), and
departed and came to al-Safa' and ran seven times between
al-Safa' and al-Marwa. After that he did not treat
anything as lawful which had become unlawful till he had
completed his Hajj and sacrificed his animal on the day of
sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja). and then went back
quickly (to Mecca) and performed circumambulation of the
House (known as tawaf ifada) after which all that was
unlawful for him became lawful; and those who had brought
the sacrificial animals along with them did as Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) had done. This hadith
has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha. The wife of
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), concerning his
Tamattu' of Hajj and 'Umra and performing of Tamattu' by
people in his company.
Chapter 22: THE QARIN SHOULD NOT PUT OFF THE
IHRAM BUT AT THE TIME WHEN A MUFRID PILGRIM TAKES IT OFF
Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him), said: Messenger of Allah.
what about people who have put off Ihram whereas you have
not put it off after your 'Umra? He said: I have stuck my
hair and have driven my sacrificial animal, and would not,
therefore, put off Ihram until I have sacrificed the
animal.
Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said:
Messenger of Allah what is the matter with you that you
have not put off Ihram? The rest of the hadith is the
same.
Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him): What is the
matter with people that they have put off Ihram, whereas
you have not put it off after your Umra'? He said: I have
driven my sacrificial animal and stuck my hair, and it is
not permissible for me to put off Ihram unless I have
completed the Hajj.
Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said: Messenger of
Allah; the rest of the hadith is the same and (the
concluding words of the Holy Prophet):" I won't put off
Ihram until I have sacrificed the animal."
Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said that Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) commanded his wives that
they should put off Ihram during the year of Hajj
(at-ul-Wada'). whereupon she (Hafsa) said: What hinders
you that you have not put off Ihram? Thereupon he said: I
have stuck my hair and driven my sacrificial animal along
with men and it is not permissible to put off Ihram (under
this condition until I have sacrificed the animal.
Chapter 23: PERMISSIBILITY OF PUTTING OFF IHRAM
(IN THE MIDST OF HAJJ CEREMONIES) IN CASE OF OBSTRUCTION AND
PERMISSIBILITY OF QIRAN
Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased
with them) set out for Umra during the turmoil, and he
said: If I am detained (from going to) the House, we would
do the same as we did with Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him). So he went out and put on Ihram for 'Umra and
moved on until he reached al-Baida'. He turned towards his
Companions and said: There is one command for both of
them. and 1 call you as my witness (and say) that verify I
have- made Hajj with 'Umra compulsory for me. He proceeded
until, when he came to the House, he circumambulated it
seven times and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwa seven
times, and made no addition to it and thought it to be
sufficient for him and offered sacrifice.
Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. 'Abdullah and Salim b.
Abdullah said to 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) at the time when
Hajjaj came to fight against Ibn Zubair: There would be no
harm if you do not (proceed) for Hajj this year, for we
fear that there would be fight among people which would
cause obstruction between you and the House, whereupon he
said: If there would be obstruction between me and that
(Ka'ba), I would do as Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) did. I was with him (the Holy Prophet) when the
infidels of Quraish caused obstructions between him (the
Holy Prophet) and the House. I call you as my witness (to
the fact) that I have made 'Umra essential for me. He
proceeded until he came to Dhu'l-Hulaifa and pronounced
Talbiya for Umra, and said: If the way Is clear forme, I
would then complete my 'Umra but If there is some
obstruction between me and that (the Ka'ba). I would then
do what Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had done
(at the occasion of Hudaibiya), and I was with him (the
Holy Prophet). and then recited:" Verily in the Messenger
of Allah, there is a model pattern for you" (xxxiii. 21).
He then moved on until he came to the rear side of
al-Baida' and said: There is one command for both of them
automatically) (Hajj and Umra). If I am detained (in the
performance) of 'Umra, I am ( automatically detained (in
the performance) of Hajj (too). I call you as witness that
Hajj along with 'Umra I had made essential for me. (I am
performing Hajj and 'Umra as Qiran.) He then bought
sacrificial animals at Qudaid and then circumambulated the
House and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwa once (covering
both Hajj and Umra), and did not put off Ihram until on
the Day of Sacrifice in the month of Dhu'l-Hijja.
Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar intended to go to Hajj
(during the year) when Hajjaj attacked Ibn Zubair, and he
narrated the account as (narrated above), and he used to
say at the end of the hadith: He who combines Hajj with
Umra, for him one single circumambulation is sufficient,
and he did not put off Ihram until he had completed both
of them.
Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar intended to go for Hajj
during the year when Hajjaj attacked Ibn Zubair. It was
said to him: There is a state of war between people and we
fear that they would detain you, whereupon he ('Abdullah
b. Umar) said:" Verily in the Messenger of Allah there is
a model pattern for you." I would do as Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) did. I call you as witness that I
have undertaken to perform 'Umra. He then set out until,
when he reached the rear side of al-Baida', he said: There
is one command both for Hajj and Umra. so bear witness.
Ibn Rumh said: I call you as witness that I have
undertaken to perform my Hajjalong with my Umra (i. e. I
am performing both of them as Qiran), and he offered the
sacrifice of animals which he had bought at Qudaid. He
then proceeded pronouncing Talbiya for both of them
together until he reached Mecca, He circumambulated the
House. and (ran) between al-Safa' and al-Marwa and made no
addition to it. He neither sacrificed the animal, nor got
his head shaved, nor got his hair clipped, nor did he make
anything lawful which was unlawful (due to Ihram) until it
was the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja). He then
offered sacrifice, and got his hair cut, and saw that
circumambulation of Hajj and 'Umra was complete with the
first circumambulation. Ibn 'Umar said: This is how
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had done.
This hadith has been narrated from Ibn Umar through
another chain of transmitters except with (this variation)
that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) was mentioned
in the first part of the hadith,. i. e. when it was said
to him: They would bar you (from going) to the House. He
said: In that, case I would do what Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) had done. He did not mention at the end
of this hadith (i. e. these words):" This is how the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had done," as
it Is narrated by al-Laith.
Chapter 24: IFRAD AND QIRAN (COMBINING HAJJ AND
'UMRA UNDER ONE IHRAM) DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF PILGRIMAGE
Nafi' thus reported on the authority of Ibn Umar: We
entered into the state of Ihram with Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) for Hajj Mufrad and in the
narration of Ibn 'Aun (the words are):" Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) entered into the state of Ihram
(with the intention) of Hajj Mufrad."
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard Allah's
Apostle (way peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for
both Hajj and Umra. Bakr (one of the narrators) said: I
narrated it to Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he said: He (the Holy
Prophet) pronounced the Talbiya for Hajj alone. I met Anas
and narrated to him the words of Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he
said: You treat us not but only as children. I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pronouncing
Talbiya both for 'Umra and Hajj.
Bakr b. 'Abdullah reported: Anas (Allah be pleased with
him) had narrated to us that he saw Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) combining Hajj and 'Umra. He (Bakr)
said: I asked (about it) from Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he
said: We entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj (only).
I came to Anas and told him what Ibn Umar had said,
whereupon he remarked: (You are treating us) as if we were
children.
Chapter 25: WHAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR HIM WHO ENTERS
INTO THE STATE OF IHRAM FOR HAJJ AND THEN COMES TO MECCA FOR
CIRCUMAMBULATION AND RUNNING
Wabara reported: While I was sitting in the company of
Ibn 'Umar, a person came to him and said: Is it right for
me to circumambulate the House before I come to stay (at
'Arafat)? Ibn 'Umar said: Yes. whereupon he said: Ibn
Abbas, however, says: Do not circumambulate the House
until you come to stay at 'Arafat. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar
said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) Performed
the Hajj and circumambulated the House before coming to
stay (at 'Arafat). If you say the Truth, is it more
rightful to follow the saying of the Prophet (may peace be
upon him) or the words of Ibn Abbas?
Wabara reported: A person asked Ibn Umar (Allah be
pleased with him): May I circumambulate the House, whereas
I have entered-into the state of Ihram for Hajj? Thereupon
he said: What prevents you from doing it? He said: I saw
the son of so and so showing disapproval of it, and you
are dearer to us as compared with him. And we see that he
is allured by the world, whereupon he said: Who amongst
you and us is not allured by the world? And said (further)
': 'We saw that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
put on Ihram for Hajj and circumambulated the House and
run between al Safa' and al-Marwa. And the way prescribed
by Allah and that prescribed by His Apostle (may peace be
upon him) deserve more to be followed than the way shown
by so and so, if you speak the truth.
Amr b. Dinar said: We asked Ibn Umar about a person who
came for Umra and circumambulated the House, but he did
not run between al-Safa' and al-Marwa, whether he is
allowed to (put off Ihram) and have intercourse with his
wife. He replied: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) circumambulated the House seven times and offered two
rak'ahs of prayer after staying (at 'Arafat), and ran
between al-Safa and al-Marwa seven times." Verily there is
in Allah's Messenger a model pattern for you" (xxxill.
21).
This hadith is narrated by another chain of
transmitters.
Chapter 26: ONE WHO UNDERTAKES TO PERFORM 'UMRA
IS NOT ALLOWED TO PUT OFF IHRAM BEFORF, SA'I AND THE PILGRIM
AND THE (QIRAN) IS NOT ALLOWED TO PUT OFF IHRAM AT TAWAF
QUDUM CIRCUMAMBULATION OF ARRIVAL)
Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Rahman reported: A person from Iraq
said to him to inquire from 'Urwa b. Zubair for him
whether a person who puts on Ihram for Hajj is allowed to
put it off or not as he circumambulates the House. And if
he says:" No, it can't be put off," then tell him that
there is a person who makes such an assertion. He
(Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Rahman) then said: I asked him ( Urwa
b. Zubair), where- upon he said: The person who has
entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj cannot get out of
it unless he has, completed the Hajj I (further) said (to
him): (What) if a person makes that assertion? Thereupon
he said: It is indeed unfortunate that he makes such an
assertion. That person ('Iraqi) then met me and he asked
me and I narrated to him (the reply of 'Urwa), whereupon
he (the Iraqi) said: Tell him ('Urwa) that a person had
informed him that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) had done that; and why is it that Asma' and Zubair
have done like this? He (Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Rahman) said:
I went to him and made a mention of that to him, whereupon
he ('Urwa) said: Who is he (the 'Iraqi)? I said: I do not
know, whereupon he said: What is the matter that he does
not come to me himself and ask me? I suppose he is an
'Iraqi. I said: I do not know, whereupon he said: He has
told a lie. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
performed Hajj, and 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
has told me that the first thing with which he commenced
(the rituals) when he arrived at Mecca was that he
performed ablution and then circumambulated the Ka'ba.
Then Abu Bakr performed Hajj and the first thing with
which he commenced (the Hajj) as the circumambulation of
the Ka'ba and nothing besides it. So did 'Umar. Then
'Uthman performed Hajj and I saw that the first thing with
which he commenced the Hajj was the circumambulation of
the Ka'ba and nothing besides it. Then Mu'awiya and
Abdullah b. 'Umar did that. Then I performed Hajj with my
father Zubair b. al-'Awwam, and the first thing with which
he commenced (Hajj) was the circumambulation of the House.
He then did nothing besides it. I then saw the emigrants
(Muhajirin) and the helpers (Ansar) doing like this and
nothing besides it. And the last one whom I saw doing like
this was Ibn 'Umar. And he did not break it (the Hajj)
after performing 'Umra. And Ibn 'Umar is with them. Why
don't they ask him (to testify it)? And none amongst those
who had passed away commenced (the rituals of Hajj) but by
circumambulating the Ka'ba on their (first arrival) and
they did not put off Ihram (without completing the Hajj),
and I saw my mother and my aunt commencing (their Hajj)
with the circumambulation of the House, and they did not
put off Ihram. My mother informed me that she came and her
sister, and Zubair and so and so for 'Umra, and when they
had kissed the corner (the Black Stone, after Sa'i and
circumambulation), they put off Ihram. And he (the 'Iraqi)
has told a lie in this matter.
Asma bint Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with both of them)
reported: We set out (to Mecca) in a state of Ihram.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He who has
the sacrificial animal with him should remain in the state
of Ihram, but he who has not the sacrificial animal with
him should put off Ihram. As I had not the sacrificial
animal with me, I put off Ihram. And since Zubair (her
husband) - had the sacrificial animal with him, he did not
put off Ihram. She (Asma) said: I put on my clothes and
then went out and sat by Zabair, whereupon he said: Go
away from me, whereupon I said: Do you fear that I would
jump upon you?
Asma bint Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with th (m) said:
We came for Hajj in the state of Ihram with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him). The rest of the hadith
is the same except (for the words) that he (Zubair) said:
Keep away from me, keep away from me, whereupon I said: Do
you fear that I will jump upon you?
Abdullah, the freed slave of Asma' bint Abu Bakr (Allah
be pleased with them), narrated that he used to hear Asma,
' whenever she passed by Hajun, saying (these words):" May
there be peace and blessing of Allah upon His Messenger."
We used to stay here along with him with light burdens.
Few were our rides, and small were our provisions. I
performed 'Umra and so did my sister 'A'isha, and Zubair
and so and so. And as we touched the House (performed
circumambulation and Sa'i) we put off Ihram, and then
again put on Ihram in the afternoon for Hajj. Harun (one
of the narrators) in one of the narrations said: The freed
slave of Asma' and he did not mention 'Abdullah.
Muslim al-Qurri reported: I asked Ibn Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them) about Tamattu' in Hajj and he permitted
it, whereas Ibn Zubair had forbidden it. He (Ibn 'Abbas)
said: This is the mother of Ibn Zubair who states that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had permitted
it, so you better go to her and ask her about it. He
(Muslim al-Qurri said): So we went to her and she was a
bulky blind lady and she said: Verily Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) permitted it.
Muslim al-Qurri heardlbn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with
them) saying that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
entered into the state of Ihram for Umra and his
Companions for Hajj. Neither Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) nor those among his Companions who had brought
sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram, whereas the
rest (of the pilgrims) did so. Talha b. Ubaidullah was one
of those who had brought the sacrificial animals along
with them so he did not put off Ihram.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters but with this
variation (of words):" Talha and another person also were
among those who had not brought the sacrificial animals
with them and so they put off Ihram."
Chapter 28: PERMISSIBILITY OF 'UMRA DURING THE
MONTHS OF HAJJ
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
they (the Arabs of pre-Islamic days) looked upon Umra
during the months of Hajj as the greatest of sins on the
earth. So they intercalated the month of Muharram for
Safar and said: When the backs of their camels would
become all right and traces (if the pilgrims) would be
effaced (from the paths) and the month of Safar would be
over, then Umra would be permissible for one who wants to
perform it. When Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
and his Companions came in the state of Ihram for
performing Hajj on the fourth (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he (Allah's
Apostle) commanded them to change their state of Ihram
(from Hajj) to that of 'Umra. It was something
inconceivable for them. So they said: Messenger of Allah,
is it a complete freedom (of the obligation) of Ihram?
Thereupon he said: It is a complete freedom (from Ihram).
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) 'is reported to
have said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
put on Ihigm for Hajj. When four days of Dhu'l-Hijja were
over, he led the dawn prayer, and when the prayer was
complete, he said: He who wants to change it to Umra may
do so.
Rauh and Yahya b. Kathir narrated as Nasr reported that
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) entered
into the state of Ihram for Hajj. And in the narration of
Abu Shihab (the words are): We went out with the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for
Hajj, And in an the ahadith (narrated in this connection
the words are): He led the morning prayer at al-Batha',
except al- jahdami who did not make mention of it.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came along with
his Companions when four days had passed out of ten days
(of Dhu'l-Hijja) and they were pronouncing Talbiya for
Hajj, and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded them to change
(this Ihram) into that of 'Umra.
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed the
morning prayer at Dhu Tawa (a valley near Mecca) and
arrived (in Mecca) when four days of Dhul-Hijja had passed
and he commanded his Companions that they should change
their Ihram (of Hajj) to that of Umra, except those who
had brought sacrificial animals with them.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: This
is the 'Umra of which we have taken advantage. So he who
has not the sacrificial animal with him should get out of
the state of Ihram completely, for 'Umra has been
incorporated in Hajj until the Day of Resurrection,
Abu Jam at al-Dubu'i reported: I performed Tamattu' but
the people dis- couraged me to do so. I came to Ibn 'Abbas
and asked him about it. He ordered me to do so. I came to
the House (Ka'ba) and slept. I saw a visitant in the dream
who said: 'Umra is acceptable and so is the Hajj performed
for God's sake. I came to Ibn Abbas and informed him about
that Which I saw in the dream whereupon he said: Allah is
the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest This is the Sunnah of
Abu'l-Qasim (the Holy Pro- phet) (may peace be upon him).
Chapter 29: GARLANDING THE SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS,
AND MARKING THEM
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed the
Zuhr prayer at Dhu'l-Hulaifa; then called for his
she-camel and marked it on the right side of its bump,
removed the blood from it, and tied two sandals round its
neck. He then mounted his camel, and when it brought him
up to al-Baida', he pronounced Talbiya for the Pilgrimage.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
Qatada with the same chain of transmitters but with this
variation (of words):" When Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) came to Dhu'l-Hulaifa" and he made no mention
(of the fact) that he led the Zuhr prayer.
Chapter 30: SAYING OF PEOPLE TO IBN 'ABBAS: WHAT
IS THIS RELIGIOUS VERDICT OF YOURS THAT HAS ENGAGED THE
ATTENTION OF THE PEOPLE?
Abu Hassan al-A'raj reported that a person from Bani
Hujaim said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them):
What is this religious verdict of yours which has engaged
the attention of the people or which has become a matter
of dispute among them that he who circumambulated the
House can be free from Ihram? Thereupon he said: That is
the Sunnah of your Apostle (may peace be upon him), even
though you may not approve of it.
Abu Hassan reported: It was said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah
be pleased with them) that this affair had engaged the
attention of the people that he who circumambu- lates the
House was permitted to circumambulate for Umra (even
though he was in a state of Ihram for Hajj), whereupon he
said: That is the Sunnah of your Apostle (may peace be
upon him), even though you may not approve of it.
Ata' said: Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) used
to say that a pilgrim or non-pilgrim (one performing
'Umar) who circumambulates the House is free from the
responsibility of Ihram. I (Ibn Juraij, one of the
narrators) said to 'Ata': On what authority does he (Ibn
Abbas) say this? He said: On the authority uf Allah's
words:" Then their place of sacrifice is the Ancient
House" (al-Qur'an, xxii. 33). I said: It concerns the time
after staying at 'Arafat, whereupon he said: Ibn 'Abbas
(Allah be pleased with them) had stated (that the place of
sacrifice is the Ancient House) ; it way be after staying
at 'Arafat or before (staying there). And he (Ibn Abbas)
made this deduction I from the command of Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) when he had ordered to put off
Ihram on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage.
Ibn Abbas reported that Mu'awiya had said to them: Do
you know that I clipped some hair from the head of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) at al- Marwa with the
help of a clipper? I said: I do not know it except as it
verdict against you.
Ibn Abbis (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Mu'awiya b. Abu Safyin had told him: I clipped the hair
(from the head of) Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon
him) with a clipper while he was at al-Marwa, or I saw him
getting his hair clipped with a clipper as he was at
al-Marwa. 1722
Chapter 32: TALBIYA OF THE APOSTLE, (MAY PEACE BE
UPON HIM) AND HIS SACRIFICE
Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We went
out with Allah's messenger (may peace be upon him)
pronouncing loudly the Talbiya for Hajj When we came to
Mecca, he commanded us that we should change this (Ibrim
for Hajj) to that of Umra except one who had brought the
sacrificial animal with him. When it was the day of
Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) and we went to Mini, we
(again) pronounced Talbiya for Hajj.
jibir and Abil Salld al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with
them) reported: We went with Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) and we were pronouncing Talbiya for Hajj loudly.
Abd Nadra reported: While I was in the company of
Jibir, a person came and said: There is difference of
opinion amomg Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair about two Mut'as
(benefits, Tamattul in Hajj and temporary marriage with
women), whereupon jibir said: We have been doing this
during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (way peace be
upon him), and then 'Umar forbade us to do so, and we
never resorted to them.
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that 'All
(Allah be pleased with him) came from the Yemen, and the
Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: With (what
intention) have you put on Ihram? He said: I have put on
Ibram in accordance with the intention with which Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) has put on Ibram,
whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Had there not been
the sacrificial animals with me, I would have put off
Ibram (after performing 'Umra). This hadith is narrated by
Salim b. Hayyin with the same chain of transmitters, but
with a slight variation of words.
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pronouncing
Talbiya for both simultaneously, Talbiya for 'Umra and
Hajj. Talbiya for Uwra and Hajj (he performed both Hajj
and Umra as a Qarin). In another version words are: I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
pronouncing Talbiya for Umra and Hajj (simultaneously)."
Hanzala al-Aslami reported: I heard Abu Huraira (Allah
be pleased with him) as narrating from Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) who said: By Him in Whose Hand is
my life. Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly
pronounce Talbiya for Hajj or for Umra or for both
(simultaneously as a Qiran) In the valley of Rauha
Hanzala b. 'Ali al-Aslaml reported that he had heard
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) as saying that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) bed said: By Him
In Whose Hand is my life; the rest of the hadith is the
same.
Chapter 33: CONCERNING THE UMRAS PERFORMED BY
ALLAH'S APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
TIMES
Qatida saia. that Anas (Allah be pleased with him) had
informed him that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) performed four 'Umras, all during the month of
Dhu'l-Qa'da except the one he performed along with Hajj
(and these are) the Umra that he performed from
al-Hudaibiya or during the time of (the truce of)
Hudaibiya in the month of Dhu'l-Qa'da then the Umra of the
next year in the month of Dhu'l-Qa'da, then the Umra for
which b'e had started from ji'rana, the place where he
distributed the spoils of (the battle of) Hunain in the
month of Dhu'l-Qa'da, and then the 'Umra that he performed
along with his Hajj (on the occasion of the Farewell
Pilgrimage).
Qatida said: I asked Anas (Allah be pleased with him)
as to bow many Pilgrimages had been performed by Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he replied: One
Hajj and four 'Umras were performed by him. The rest of
the badith is the same.
Abu lshaq said: I asked Zaid b. Arqam: In how many
military expeditions have you participated with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him)? He said: In seventeen
(expeditions). He (Abu Ishaq) said: Zaid b. Arqam reported
to me that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had
led nineteen expeditions. And he performed Hajj only once
after Migration, and that was the Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu
Ishaq also said: The second (Hajj) he performed at Mecca
(before his Migration to Medina)
'Ataa reported that 'Urwa b. Zubair (Allah be pleased
with him) had informed him (this): I and Ibn 'Umar were
reclining against the (wall) of the apartment of A'isha
and we were listening to the sound produced by the
brushing of her teeth. I said Abu Abd al-Rahman (the kunya
of 'Abdullah b. Umar), did Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) perform 'Umra in the month of Rijab? He said:
Yes. I said to 'A'isha: Mother, are you listening to what
Abu Abd al-Rabman is saying? She said: What is he Saying?
I said: He is saying that Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) performed 'Umra during the month of Rajab,
whereupon she said: May Allah grant pardon to Abu Abd
al-Rahman I By my life he (the Holy Prophet) did not
perform 'Umra during the month of Rajab. And never was
there an Umra performed by him (the Holy Prophet) in which
he ('Abdullah b. 'Umar) did not join him. Ibn 'Umar heard
this and said nothing to affirm It or to deny it, but kept
quiet.
Mujihid reported: I and 'Urwa h Zubair entered the
mosque and there found 'Abdullah b. 'Umar sitting near the
apartment of IA'isha and the people were observing the
forenood" prayer (when the sun bad sufficiently risen). We
asked him about their prayer, and he said: It is bid'a
(innovation), Urwa said to him: Abd al-Rahman, how many,
'Umras had Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
performed? He said: Four Umras, one he performed during
the month of Rajab. We were reluctant either to belie him
or reject him. We heard the noise of brushing of her teeth
by 'A'isha in her apartment. 'Urwa said: Mother of the
Faithful, are you not hearing what Abfi 'Abd al-Rahman is
saying? She said: What is he saying? Thereupon he ('Urwa)
said: He (Ibn 'Umar) states that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) performed four Umras and one of them
during the month of Rajab. Thereupon she remarked: May
Allah have merely upon Abu 'Abd al-Rahman. Never did
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) perform 'Umra in
which he did not accompany him, and he (Allah's Apostle)
never performed 'Umra during the month of Rajab.
Chapter 34: EXCELLENCE OF PERFORMING 'UMRA IN THE
MONTH OF RAMADAN
Ataa reported: I heard Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with
him) narrating to us that Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said to a woman of the Ansar (Ibn Abbas had
mentioned her name but I have forgotten it): 'What has
prevented you that you do not perform Hajj along with us?
She said: We have only two camels for carrying water. One
of the camels has been taken by my husband and my son for
performing Hajj and one has been left for us for carrying
water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: So when the
month of Ramadan come, perform Umra, for'Umra in this
(month) is equal to Hajj (in reward).
Ibn Abbis reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) said to a woman of the Ansar who was called Umm
Sinan: What has prevented you that you did not perform
Hajj with us? She said: The father of so and so (i. e. her
husband) had only two camels. One of them had been taken
away by him (my busbard) and his son for Hajj, whereas the
other one is used by our boy to carry water. Upon this he
(the Holy Prophet) said: Umra during the month of Rawadin
would suffice for Hajj or Hajj along with me.
Chapter 35: EXCELLENCE OF ENTRY INTO MECCA FROM
THE UPPER SIDE AND EXIT FROM IT FROM THE LOWER SIDE, AND EN
FERING THE TOWN FROM THE SIDE OTHER THAN THAT FROM WHICH.
ONE GETS OUT
Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) used to come out (of Medina) by way of
al-Shajarah and entered it by the way of al-Mu'arras and
whenever he entered Mecca, he entered it from the upper
side and went out of it from the lower side. This hadith
has been narrated on the authority of 'Ubaidullah with the
same chain of transmitters and in the narration
transmitted by Zubair (it is mentioned) that the upper
side is that'which is at al-Batha
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when
Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) came to Mecca he
entered from its upper side and came out from its lower
side.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) entered Mecca
during the year of Victory from Kada I. e. from the upper
side. Hisham said.. My father entered It from both the
Fides, but generally he entered from Kada.
Chapter 36: EXCELLENCE OF SPENDING THE NIGHT AT
DHI TUWA FOR ENTERING MECCA (FOR H. Ajj) AND GETTING l@TO IT
AFTER A BATH AND ENTERING DURING THE DAY
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) spent the night
at Dhi Tuwa till it was dawn and then entered Mecca.
'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) himself did like it. And in the
narration transmitted by Ibn Sa'ld (the words are): Until
he obrerved the dawn prayer. Yahya (another narrator)
said: Until it was dawn.
Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with
them) did not enter Mecca without spending the night at
Dhi Tawu until it was dawn, when he took a bath, and then
entered Mecca in the morning, and made a mention that
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) did that.
Abdullah (b. 'Umar) reported that whenever Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) entered Mecca, he got
down at Dhi Tuwa and spend the night there until he
observed the dawn prayer. And Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) observed this prayer on a rough hillock, and
not in the mosque which had been then built there, but to
the lower side of it (the mosque) on a hillock.
Nafi' reported that Abdullah (b. 'Umar) informed him
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) turned his
face to the two hillocks which intervened between him and
the long mountain by the side of the Ka'ba, and the mosque
which had been built there was thus on the left of the
hillock. Allah's Messenger's (may peace be upon him) place
of prayer was lower than the black hillock, at a distance
of ten cubits or near it. He (may peace be upon him) would
then observe prayer facing these two hillocks of the long
mountain that is intervening between you and the Ka'ba.
Chapter 37: EXCELLENCE OF WALKING AT A QUICK PACE
IN TAWAF IN 'UMRA AND ON THE OCCASION OF FIRST TAWAF IN HAJJ
Nafi' reported on the authority of Ibn Umar (Allah be
pleased with them) that when Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) circumambulated the House, while observing
the first circumambulation, he walked swiftly in three
(circuits), and walked in four circuits, and ran in the
bottom of the valley as he moved between al-Safa and
al-Marwa. Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) also used
to do like this.
Ibn'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
when Allah's messenger (may peace be upon him)
circumambulated in Hajj and Umra he walked swiftly in the
first three circuit about the House, and then walked in
four circuits, and then observed two rak'ahs of prayer,
and then ran between al-Safa and al-Marwa.
Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: I saw that when Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) came to Mecca and kissed the Black Stone, (in
the first circumambulation) he moved quickly in three
circuits out of seven circuits.
Nafi' reported on the authority of Ibn Umar (Allah be
pleased with them) that Allaws Messenger (may peace be
upon him) walked swiftly from stone to stone in three
circuits and walked (normally) in four.
Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar (Allah he pleased with
them) walked swiftly from stone to stone, and stated that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) did like this.
jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
walking swiftly from the Black Stone till he completed
three circuits up to it.
Jabir b." Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
walked swiftly in three circuitsfrom stone to stone.
Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them): Do you think that walking swiftly
round the House in three circuits, and just walking in
four circuits is the Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet), for
your people say that it is Sunnah? Thereupon he (Ibn
'Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie (too).
I said: What do your words" They have told the truth and
the lie (too)" imply? Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) came to Mecca and the polytheists
said that Mubammad and his Companions had emaciated and
would, therefore, be unable to circumambulate the House;
and they felt jealous of him (the Holy Prophet). (It was
due to this) that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) commanded them to walk swiftly in three (circuits)
and walk (normally) in four. I said to him: Inform me if
it is Sunnah to observe Tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwa
while riding, for your people look upon it as Sunnah. He
(Ibn Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie
too. I said: What do your words" They have told the truth
and the lie tool, iMply? He said: as Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) had come to Mecca, there was such
a large gathering of people around him that even the
virgins had come out of their houses (to catch a glimpse
of his face). and they were saying: He is Muhammad; He is
Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) (was
so gentle and kind) that the people were not beaten back
(to make way) in front of him. When there was a; throng
(of people) around him, he rode (the she-camel) but
walking and trotting is, however, better.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
jurairi with the same chain of transmitters but with a
slight variation of words (and this is) that he (the
narrator) did not say:" They felt jealous of him. but
said: The people of Mecca, were jealous people."
Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them): People are of the view that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) moved quickly round the
House and between al-Safa and al-Marwa, and (thus) it is
Sunnah. He said: They told the truth and they told the
lie.
Abu Tufail reported; I. said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them): I think that I saw Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him). He (Ibn 'Abbis) said' Give a
description of him to me. I said: I saw him near al-Marwa
on the back of a she- camel, and people had thronged
around him. Thereupon Ibn'Abbis said: It was Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) for they (the
Compainions of the Holy Prophet) were neither pushed aside
from him, nor were they turned away.
Ibn 'Abbas (At lab be pleased with them) reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and his
Companions came to Mecca and the fever in Medina had
weakened them. Thereupon the polytheists (of Mecca) said:
There would come to you a people whom the fever has made
weak and they have suffered severely from it. They sat in
Hatim. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
commanded them to walk quickly ift three circuits and walk
(in four) between the two corners. so that the polytheists
should. see their endurance. The polytheists then said (to
one anothery You were under the impression that fever had
emaciated them. whereas they are stronger than so and so.
Ibn Abbas said: He (the Holy Prophet) did not command them
(the Muslims) to walk quickly in all the circuits out of
kindness to them.
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah.
's Messenger (peace be upon him) observed Sa'i and walked
quickly round the House with a view to showing his
strength to the polytheists.
Chapter 38: EXCELLENCE OF TOUCHING THE TWO
CORNERS (RUKNAIN AL-YAMANITYAIN) IN 'FAWAF

Allah's Messenger (way peace he upon him) touching
anything in the House, except the two Yamani corners.

upon him) did not touch any of the corners of the House.

embedded and that (portion) near it, towards the houses of
the tribe of jumuhi.
Nafi' reported on the authority of 'Abdullah (Allah be
pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (way peace be
upon him) did not touch but the Stone and the Yamani
corner.

not abandoned touching of Yamani corners (and kissing of)
the Stone since I saw Allah's messneger (may peace be upon
him) touching them both In hardship and ease.
NAfi' (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I saw'lbn
'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) touching the Stone with
his hand and then kissing his hand. and he said: I have
never abandoned it since I saw Allah's Messenger (way
peace be upon him) doing It.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) is reported to
have said that he did not see Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) touching other than the Yamani corners.
Chapter 39: EXCEI, LENCE OF KISSING THE BLACK
STONE WHILE CIRCUMAMBULATING
Salim narrated on the authority of his father (Allah be
pleased with him) that 'Umar b. al-Khattib (Allah be
pleased with him) kissed (the Black Stone) and then said:
By Allah, I know that you are a stone and if I were not to
see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) kissing you,
I would not have kissed you. Harun said in his narration:
A hadith like this has been transmitted to me by Zaid b.
Aslam on the authority of his father Aslam.
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
Umar (Allah be pleased with him) kissed the Stone and
said: I am kissing you, whereas I know that you are a
stone, but I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
kissing you (that Is why I kiss you).
Abdullah b. Sarjis reported: I saw the bald one, i. e.
'Umar b. Khattib (Allah be pleased with him). kissing the
Stone and saying: By Allah. I am kissing with full
consciousness of the fact that you are a stone and that
you can neither do any harm nor good; and if I had not
seen Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) kissing
you. I would not have kissed you. The rest of the hadith
is the same.
Abis b. Rabi'a reported: I saw 'Umar (Allah'be pleased
with him) kissing the Stone and saying: I am kissing you
and I know that you are a stone. And if I had not seen
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) kissing you, I
would not have kissed you.
Suwaid b. Ghafala reported: I saw Umar (Allah be
pleased with him) kissing the Stone and clinging to it and
saying: 1 saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
having great love for you. This hadith has been narrated
on the authority of Sufyin with the same chain of
transmitters (and the words are):" That he ('Umar) said:
But I saw Abu'l-Qasim (way peace be upon him) having great
love for you." And he did not'mention about clinging to
it.
Chapter 40: IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO OBSERVE TAWAF ON
THE BACK OF A CAMEL OR ANY OTHER RIDING BEAST, AND TO TOUCH
THE BLACK STONE WITH A STICK
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) circumambulated
the House on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage on
the back of his camel and touched the Corner (of Black
Stone) with a stick.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) circumambulated the
House on the back of his riding camel on the occasion of
the Farewell Pilgrimage and touched the Stone with his
stick so that the people should see him, and he should be
conspicuous, and they should be able to ask him (questions
pertaining to religion) as the people had crowded round
him.
jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them)
reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
circumambulated the House (and ran) between al-Safa and
al-Marwa on the back of his she-camel, at the occasion of
the Farewell Pilgrimage. so that the people should see him
and he should be conspicuous, and they should be able to
ask him (questions pertaining to religion), and the people
had crowded round him. In the hadith transmitted on the
authority of Ibn Khashram no mention Is made of:" So that
they should ask him."
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) circumambulated
the Ka'ba on the back of his camel on the occasion of the
Farewell Pilgrimage and touched the corner and he did not
like that the people should be pushed away from him.
Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) circumambulating the House. and touching the
corner with a stick that he had with him, and then kissing
the stick.
Umm Salama reported: I made a complaint to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) of my ailment, whereupon
be said: Circumambulate behind the people while riding.
She said: So I circumambulated and Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) was at that time praying towards the
side of the House and he was reciting al-Tur and a Book
Inscribed (i. e. Sura Iii. of the Qur'un).
Chapter 41: SA'I BETWEEN AL-SAFA' AND AL-MARWA IS
AN ESSENTIAL RITE OF HAJJ AND HAJJ IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT
IT
Hisham b. 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father
who narrated from 'A'isha. He said to 'A'isha: I think if
a person does not run between al- Safa' and al-Marwa, It
does not do any harm to him (so far as Hajj is concerned).
She said: Why (do you think so)? I said: For Allah says:"
Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah"
(ii. 158) (to the end of the verse), whereupon she said:
Allah does not complete the Hajj of a person or his Umra
if he does not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-marwa;
and if it were so as you state, then (the wording would
have been (fala janah an la yatufu biha) [" There is no
harm for him if he does not circumambulate between them'].
Do you know in what context (this verse was revealed)? (It
was revealed in this context) that the Ansar in the Days
of Ignorance pronounced the Talbiya for two idols. (fixedl
on the bank of the river which were called Isaf and
Na'ila. The people went there, and then circumambulated
between al-Safa' and al-Marwa and then got their heads
shaved. With the advent of Islam they (the Muslims) did
not like to circumambulate between them as they used to do
during the Days of Ignorance. It was on account of this
that Allah. the Exalted and Majestic, revealed:" Verily
al-Safe and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" to the
end of the verse. She said: Then people began to observe
Sa'i.
Hisham b. 'Urwa narrated on the authority of his father
who reported: I said to 'A'isha: I do not see any harm to
me if I do not circumambulate betweez al-Safa' and
al-Marwa. She said: On what ground do you say so? (I said:
) Since Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, says:" Verily
al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah." It
(your assertion) were (correct), it would have been said
like this:" There is no harm for him, that he should not
circumambulate between them." It (this verse) has been
revealed about the people of Ansar. Whenever they
pronounced the Talbiya, they pronounced it in the name of
al-Manat during the Days of Ignorance; so they (thought)
that it was not permissible for them (for the Muslims) to
circumambulate between and al-Marwa. When they (the
Muslims) came with Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him)
for Hajj, they mentioned it to him. So Allah, the Exalted
and Majestic, revealed this verse. By my life, Allah will
not complete the Hajj of one who has not circumambulated
between al-Safa and al-Marwa.
'Urwa b. Zabair reported: I said to 'A'isha, the wife
of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him): I do not see
any (fault) in one who does not circumambl" te between
al-Safa' and al-Marwa, and I do not mind if I do not
circumambulate between them, whereupon she said: O, the
son of my sister, what you say is wrong. Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) observed Sa'i and so did the
Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet). And it was a
common practice (with the pagan Arabs) that those who
pronounced Talbiya for the wretched al-Manat, situated at
Mushalla, did not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and
al-Marwa. With the advent of Islam, we asked Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) about this practice, and
(it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and
Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily al-Safa' and
al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who
performed Hajj or 'Umra it is no sin on him if he
circumambulates them. And if it were as you state, (then
the wording would have been):" There is no harm for him,
that he should not circumambulate round them." Zuhri said:
I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al- Rahman b.
al-Harith b. Hisham; he was impressed by that and said:
This is what is called knowledge. And I have heard many a
scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not
circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwa caid: Our
circumambulation between these two hills is an act of
ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have
been commanded to circumambulate the House, and not
Commanded to run between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. So Allah,
the Exalted and Majestic, revealed thia verse:" Verily
al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah." Abu
Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman said: I think that this (verse) has
been revealed for such and such (persons).
'Urwa b. Zubair reported: I asked 'A'isha (Allah be
pleased with her) ; the rest of the hadith is the same.
And in this hadith (these words are also found):" When
they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) asked Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) about this, they said:
Messenger of Allah, we felt reluctant to circumambulate
between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. Then Allah, the Exalted and
Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily al-Safa' and
al-Marwa are among the Signs of. Allah so he who perform
Hajj or Umra it is no sin on him if he should
circumambulate between them. 'A'isha (Allah be pleased
with her) said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
laid down this Sa'i between them as Sunnah (of the Holy
Prophet). So it is not advisable for anyone to abandon
this Sa'i between them.
'Urwa b. Zabair narrated on the authority of 'A'isha
(Allah be pleased with her) who informed him that the
Ansar and the people of the tribe of Ghassan before
embracing Islam pronounced Talbiya for Manat, and so they
avoided circumambulating between al-Safa' and al-Marwa,
and it was a common practice with their forefather, that
he who put on Ihram for Manat did not circumambulate
between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. And when they embraced
Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) about it, and then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic,
revealed this verse:" Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are
among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performs Hajj or
Umra, for him there is no harm if he should circumambulate
between them, and he who does good spontaneously-surely
Allah is Bountiful in rewarding and Knowing.
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the
Ansar felt reluctant that they should circumambulate
between al-Safa' and al-Marwa until it was revealed:"
Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah"
; so whoever performs Hajj or 'Umra, for him there is no
harm that he should circumambulate between them.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) and his Companions did not observe Sa'i
between al-Safa' and al-Marwa but only one Sa'i.
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I
was sitting behind Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) reached the left side of
the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made
the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I
poured water and he, performed light ablution. I then
said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The prayer
awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's
Messenger (may peaced be upon him) rode on until he came
to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (Allah be
pleased with him) sat behind Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning.
Kuraib said: 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with
them) narrated from al-Fadl (Allah be pleased with him)
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) continued
pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara
(al-'Aqaba).
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) made al-Fadl sit
behind him (on the camel back) from the place (where the
two prayers) are combined (Muzdalifa). Ibn Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them) also informed that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) did not stop pronouncing Talbiya till
he threw pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqaba.
Ibn 'Abbas narrated from al-Fadl b. Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them) who sat behind Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) that he (the Holy Prophet) said to the
people on the evening of 'Arafa and on the morning to the
gathering of people (at Muzdalifa) as they were pushing on
to proceed slowly. And he himself drove his she-camel with
restraint until he entered Muhassir (it is a place in
Mina), and further told them to take up pebbles which were
to be thrown at Jamra. And Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the
Jamra. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
Abd Zubair with the same chain of transmitters but with
this variation that in the hadith no mention is made of
(this) that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra,
and he made this addition in his hadith:" The Apostle (may
peace be upon him) pointed with his hand how a person
should catch hold of pebbles (in order to throw them)."
'Abdullah narrated to us as we had gathered (at
Muzdalifa): I have heard from one upon whom Surah
al-Baqara was revealed (the Holy Prophet) pronouncing
Talbiya at this place.
'Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid reported that 'Abdullah (b.
Mas'ud) pronounced Talbiya as he returned from the
gathering of the people (at Muzdalifa). It was said: He
might be a Bedouin (not knowing correctly the rituals of
Hajj and, therefore, pronouncing Talbia at this stage),
whereupon Abdullah said: Hive the people forgotten (this
Sunnah of the Holy Prophet) or have they gone astray? I
heard him, upon whom Sibrah al-Baqara was revealed,
pronouncing Talbiya at the very place.
'Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid and al-Aswad b. Yazid reported:
We heard 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud saying to the gathering of
people (at Muzdalifa) that he had heard Talbiya from him,
upon whom Surah al-Baqara was revealed, at this very
place. And so he ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) pronounced Talbiya
and we also pronounced it with him.
Chapter 44: PRONOUNCING OF TALBIYA AND TAKBIR
WHILE GOING FROM MINA TO'ARAFAT ON THE DAY OF 'ARAFA
'Abdullah b. 'Umar reported on the authority of his
father (Allah be pleased with them). He said: As we
proceeded in the morning along with AUbs Messenger (may
peace be upon him) from Mina to 'Arafat, some of us
prounced Talbiya, and some pronounced Takbir
(Allah-o-Akbar).
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported on the authority of his
father (Allah be pleased with them): We were along with
Allah's Messenger (way peace he upon him) in the morning
of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'l-Hijja). Some of us pronounced
Takbir and some of us Tahlil La ilaha ill-Allah). And to
those of us who pronounced Takbir, I said: By Allah, how
strange it is that you did not care to ask him: What did
you see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) doing
(on this occasion)?
Muhammad b. Abu Bakr al-Thaqafi asked Anas b. Malik
(Allah be pleased with him), while on their way from Mina
to 'Arafa in the morning: What did you do on this day in
the company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)?
Thereupon he said: One of us pronounced Tahlil, and he met
with no disapproval, and one of us pronounced Takbir, and
he also met with no disapproval.
Muhammad b. Abu Bakr reported: I said to Anas b. Malik
in the morning of 'Arafa: What do you say as to
pronouncing Talbiya on this day? He said: I travelled with
Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and his Companions
in this journey. Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of
us pronounced Tahlil, and none of us found fault with his
companion.
Chapter 45: RETURNING FROM 'ARAFAT TO MUZDALIFA
AND EXCELLENCE OF OBSERVING SUNSET AND 'ISHA' PRAYERS
TOGETHER AT MUZDALIFA
Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, narrated from
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) that he had
heard him saying: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) proceeded from 'Arafa, and as he approached the creek
of a hill, he got down (from his camel) and urinated, and
then performed a light ablution. I said to him: Prayer,
whereupon he said: The prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa).
So he rode again, and as he came to Muzdalifa, he got down
and performed ablution well. Then Iqima was pronounced for
prayer, and he 'observed the sunset prayer. Then every
person made his camel kneel down there, and then Iqama was
pronounced for 'Isha' prayer and he observed it, and he
(the Holy Prophet) did not observe any prayer (either
Sunan or Nawifil) in between them (He observed the Fard of
sunset and 'Isha' prayers successively.)
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on his way back
from 'Arafat got down in one of these creeks (to answer
the call of nature), and after he had done that I poured
water (over his hands) and said: Are you going to pray?
Thereupon he said: The place of prayer is ahead of you.
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
AHah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was on his way
back from 'Arafat and as he reached the creek (of a
hillock) he got down and urinated (Usama did not say that
he poured water), but said: He (the Holy Prophet) called
for water and performed ablution, but it was not a
thorough one. I said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer!
Thereupon he said: Prayer awaits you ahead (at Muzdalifa).
He then proceeded, until he reached Muzdalifa and observed
sunset and 'Isha' prayers (together) there.

pleased with him) What did you do in the evening of 'Arafa

him)? He said: We came to a valley where people generally
halted their (camels) for the sunset prayer. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) halted his camel and
urinated (and he did not say that he had poured water). He
then called for water and performed light ablution. I
said: Messenger of Allah, the prayer! Thereupon he said:
Prayer awaits you (at Muzdalifa). and he rode on until we
came to Muzdalifa. Then he offered the sunset prayer. and
the people halted their camels at their places, and did
not untie them until Iqama was pronounced for the 'Isha'
prayer and he observed the prayer, and then they untied
(their camels). I said: What did you do in the morning? He
said: Al-Fadl b. Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) sat
behind him (the Holy Prophet) in the morning, whereas I
proceeded on foot with the Quraish who had gone ahead.

wilderness (to urinate). And when he came back, I poured
water on him from the jug and he performed ablution, and
then rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and there he
combined the sunset and 'Isha' prayers.

father: Usama (Allah be pleased with him) was asked in my
presence or I asked Usama b. Zaid andhe rode behind
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as he came back
from 'Arafat. I said (to him): How did Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) journey as he came back from
'Arafat? Thereupon he said: He made it (his riding camel)
walk at a slow speed, and when he found an open space, he
made it walk briskly.

him and before the multitude (set forth). He (Allah's
Apostle) gave her the permission. So she set forth before
his (Holy Prophet's) departure. But we stayed there until
it was dawn and we moved on, when he departed. And if I
were to seek the permission of Allah's Messenger. (may
peace be upon him) as Sauda had sought permission, I could
have also gone with his permission and it would have been
better for me than that for which I was happy.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that
(hadrat) Sauda was a bulky lady, so she sought permission
from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to proceed
from Muzdalifa (to Mina) in the (latter part of the)
night. He granted her permission. 'A'isha said: I wish I
had also sought permission from Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as Sauda had. sought permission from
him. 'A'isha did not proceed but with the Imam.
'A'isha said: I wish I had sought permission from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as Sauda had
sought, and observed the dawn prayer at Mina and stoned at
al-Jamra before the people had come there. It was said to
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her): Did Sauda seek
permission from him (the Holy Prophet)? She said: Yes. She

Messenger (may peace be upon him) (to proceed to mina from
Muzdalifa ahead of him), and he granted her permission.

Asma' (Allah be pleased with her), as she was in the house
at Muzdalifa, asked me whether the moon had set. I said:
No. She prayed for some time, and again said: My son has

with me, and so we set forth until (we reached Mini) and
the stoned at al-Jamra. She then prayed in her place. I
said to her: Respected lady, we set forth (in the very
early part of dawn) when it was dark, whereupon she said:
My son, there is no harm in it; Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) had granted permission to women. This hadith

him) granted permission to women."

said (to 'Ati'): Has this (news) reached you that Ibn
'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) had said:" He (Allah's
Messenger) had sent me in the latter part of the night"?
Thereupon he said: No, it was the dawn. I (again) said to
him: (Did you hear) Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with
them) having said this (too):" We stoned al-Jamra before
the dawn prayer"? So where did he observe the dawn prayer?
He said: No. But he said only so much (as described
above).

the stay of the Imam, and before his return. So some of
them reached Mina for the dawn prayer and some of them
reached there after that; and as they reached there, they
stoned al-Jamra; and Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with
them) used to say: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) has granted this concession to them.

valley and faced towards it (the Jamra) and then flung
seven pebbles at it from the heart of the valley
pronouncing Takbir with every pebble. I said: Abu 'Abd

flung seven pebbles at al-Jamra (from a position) that the
House was on his left and Mina was on his right and said:
That is the place (of flinging pebbles of one) upon whom
Surah al-Baqara was revealed.

upon those who get their heads shaved." And he also said:"
Upon those too who got their hair clipped."
Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as having
observed: O Allah, have mercy upon those who get their
heads shaved. They (the Companions) said: Messenger of
Allah, (what about those) who have got their hair clipped?
He said: O Allah, have mercy upon those who have got their

Chapter 55: REGARDING ONE WHO SHAVES BEFORE
OFFERING TLIE SACRIFICE OR OFFERS SACRIFICE BEFORE THROWING
(TIIE STONES AT JAMRA)
Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As said that Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) stopped during the Farewell
Pilgrimage at Mina for people who had something to ask. A
man came and said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant. I
shaved before sacrificing, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet)
said: Now sacrifice (the animal) and there is no harm (for
you). Then another man came and he said: Messenger of
Allah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the
pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Now) throw
the pebbles, and there is no harm (for you). Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) was not asked about
anything which had been done before or after (its proper
time) but he said: Do it, and no harm is there (for you).
'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As (Allah be pleased with
them) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
stopped while riding his camel and the people began to ask
him. One of the inquirers said: Messenger of Allah, I did
not know that pebbles should be thrown before sacrificing
the animal, and by mistake I sacrificed the animal before
throwing pebbles, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: (Now) throw pebbles and there is no
harm in it. Then another (person) came saying: I did not
know that the animal was to be sacrificed before shaving,
but I got myself shaved before sacrificing the animal,
whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Sacrifice the animal
(now) and there is no harm in it. He (the narrator) said:
I did not hear that anything was asked on that day (shout
a matter) which a person forgot and could not observe the
sequence or anything like it either due to forgetfulness
or ignorance, but Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said (about that): Do it; there is no harm in it.
Abdullah b. Amr b. al-'As (Allah be pleased with them)
reported: As Allah's Apostle. (may peace be upon him) was
delivering sermon on the Day of Nahr, a man stood up
before him and said: Messenger of Allah, I did not know
that such and such (rite was to be performed) before such
and such (rite). Then another man came and said: Messenger
of Allah, I thought that such and such (rite) should
precede such and such (rite), and then another man came
and said: Messenger of Allah, I had thought that such and
such was before such and such, and such and such (is the
sequence) of the three (rites, viz. throwing of pebbles,
sacrificing of animal and shaving of one's head). He said
to all these three: Do now (if you have not observed the
cequence) ; there is no harm in it.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn
Juraij with the same chain of transmitters. And the
narration of Ibn Bakr is like one transmitted by 'Isa but
with this (variation):" There are not these words in it:
To all these three rites (throwing of pebbles sacrificing
of animal and shaving of one's head)." And so far as the
narration of Yahya al-Umawi (the words are): I got (my
head) shaved before I sacrificed the animal, and I
sacrified the animal before throwing pebbles, and like
that.
Adullah b. 'Amr (b. al-'As) (Allah be pleased with him)
reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) and said: I got (my head) shaved before
sacrificing the, animal, whereupon be (the Holy Prophet)
said: Sacrifice the animal (now) ; there is no harm in it.
He (the person said): I sacripced the animal before
throwingpebbles. whereupon he said: Throw pebbles (now) ;
there is no harm in it.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri
with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): I
saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the back
of the camel at Mina, and a person came to him," and the
rest of the hadith Is like that transmitted by Ibn
'Uyaina.
'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-As (Allah be pleased with them)
said: As Allah's Messenger (may peace be'upon him) was
standing near the jamra, a person came to him on the Day
of Nahr and said: Messenger of Allah, I got (my head
shaved) before throwing pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy
Prophet) said: Throw pebbles (now) ; there is no harm in
it. Another man (then) came and said: I have sacrificed
before throwing the stones. He said: Throw stones (now)
and there is no harm. Another came to him and said: I have
observed the circumambulation of Ifada of the House before
throwing pebbles. He said: Throw pebbles (now) ; there is
no harm in it, He (the narrator) said: I did not see that
he (the Holy Prophet) was asked about anything on that
day, but he said: Do, and there is no harm in it.
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that it
was said to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) about
sacrificing of animals, shaving of one's head, throwing of
pebbles, and (the order of) precedence and succession, and

upon him) observed the circumambulation of Ifada on the
Day of Nabr (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja), and then came back and
observed the noon prayer at Mina. Nafi' (one of the
narrators) said that Ibn Umar used to observe the
circumambulation of Ifada on the Day of Nahr, and then
return and observe the noon prayer at Mina, and mentioned
that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) did that.
Chapter 57: EXCELLENCE OF MAKING A HALT AT
AL-MUHASSAB, ON THE DAY OF NAHR, AND OBSERVING PRAYER THERE
Abd al-'Aziz b. Rufai' (Allah be pleased with him)
said: I asked Anas b. Malik to tell me about something he
knew about Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), viz.
where he observed the noon prayer on Yaum al-Tarwiya. He
said: At Mina. I said: Where did he observe the afternoon
prayer on the Yaum an-Nafr? and he said: It was at
al-Abtah. He then said: Do as your rulers do.
Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar regarded halt at Muhassab
as Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet) and observed the noon
prayer on Yaum al-Nafr at that place. Nafi' said: Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) halted at Muhassab and
the Caliphs did the same after him.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported.: Halt at
al-Abtah is not the Sunnah. Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) halted there simply because it was easier for
him to depart from there, when he left.
Salim reported that Abu Bakr, 'Umar and Ibn Umar used
to halt at Abtah. 'Urwa narrated from 'A'isha (Allah be
pleased with her) that he did not observe this practice
and said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) halted
there, for it is a place from where it was easy to depart.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Halt
at Muhassab is not something (significant from the point
of view of the Shari'ah). It is a place of halt where

matter that I see that the progeny of your uncle supply
honey and milk (as drink to the travellers), whereas you
supply al-nabidh (water sweetened with dates)? Is it due
to your poverty or due to your close-fistedness? Thereupon
Ibn 'Abbas said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to
poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact)
that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) came here
riding his she-came, and there was sitting behind him
Usama. He asked for water, and we gave him a cup full of
nabidh and he drank it, and gave the remaining (part) to

for the sacrificial animals of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) with my own hands. Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) then garlanded them with his own

(may peace be upon him) said to him: Woe to you; ride on
it. He said: Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial
animal, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

SACRIFICIAL ANIMAL, WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AND
BECOMES POWERLESS TO MOVE
Musa b. Salama al-Hudhali reported: I and Sinan b.
Salama proceeded (to Mecca to perform Umra. Sinan had a
sacrificial camel with him which he was driving. The camel
stopped in the way being completely exhausted and this
state of it made him (Sinan) helpless. (He thought) if it
stops proceeding further how he would be able to take it,
along with him and said: I would definitely find out (the
religious verdict) about it. I moved on in the morning and
as we encamped at al-Batha', (Sinan) said: Come (along
with me) to Ibn 'Abbis (Allah be pleased with them) so
that we should narrate to him (this incident), and he
(Sinan) reported to him the incident of the sacrificial
camel. He (Ibn Abbas) said: You have referred (the matter)
to the well informed person. (Now listen) Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent sixteen sacrificial
camels with a man whom he put in change of them. He set
out and came back and said: Messenger of Allah, what
should I do with those who are completely exhausted and
become powerless to move on, whereupon he said: Slaughter
them, and dye their hoofs in their blood, and put them on
the sides of their humps, but neither you nor anyone among
those who are with you must eat any part of them.

in its blood and imprint it on its hump; but neither you
nor any one of your comrades should eat it.

you give religious verdict that the woman who is in menses
is allowed to go without performing the last
circumambulation of the House? Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be
pleased with them) said to him: Ask such and such woman of
the Ansar, if you do not (believe my religious verdict)
whether Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had
coimmanded her this. Zaid b Thabit (went to that lady and
after getting this verdict attested by her) came back to
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) smilingly and said:
I did not find you but telling the truth.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Safiyyah
bint Huyayy entered the period of menses after performing
Tawaf Ifada. I made a mention of her menses to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), whereupon Allah's.
Messenger (may peace be upon him) remarked: Well, then she
will detain us. I said: Messenger of Allah. she has
performed Tawif Ifada and circumambulated the House, and
it was after this that she entered the period of menses.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
(If it is so), then proceed forth.
This hadith is narrated (from 'A'isha) on the authority
of Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters (and the
words are): Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the wife of Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him), entered the period of
menses at the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage after
she had performed Tawaf Ifada in the state of cleanliness;
the rest of the hadith is the same.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) that she made a
mention to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) that
Safiyyah had entered the period of menses. The rest of the
hadith is the same.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We feared
that Safiyyah might have entered the period of menses
before performing Tawaf Ifada. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) came to us and said: Is Safiyyah going
to detain us? Thereupon we said: She has performed Tawaf
Ifada. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then there is no
detention (for us) now.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him): Messenger of
Allah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy has entered the state of
menses, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Perhaps she is going to detain us. Has she not
clicumambulated the House along with you (i. e. whether
she has not performed Tawaf Ifada)? They said: Yes. He
said: Then they should set out.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) inclined to do
with Safiyyah what a man feels inclined to do with his
wife. They said: Messenger of Allah, she has entered the
state of menses, whereupon he said: (Well) she is going to
detain us. They (his wives) said: Messenger of Allah, she
performed Tawaf Ziyara (Tawaf Ifada) on the Day of Nahr.
Thereupon he said: Then she should proceed along with you
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: When
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) decided to march
(for return journey), he found Safiyyah at the door of her
tent, sad and downcast. He remarked. Barren, shaven-head,
you are going to detain us, and then said: Did you perform
Tawaf Ifada on the Day of Nahr? She replied in the
affirmative, whereupon he said: Then march on.

said to Bilal: Did Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

said: I forgot to ask him as to the number of rakahs he
prayed.

Victory on the she-camel of Usama b. Zaid until he made
her kneel down in the courtyard of the Ka'ba (and got
down). He then sent for 'Uthman b. Talha and said: Bring
me the key. He went to his mother and she refused to give
that to him. He said: By Allah, give that to him or this
sword would be thrust into my side. So she gave that to
him, and he came with that to Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) and gave that to him, and he opened the door.
The rest of the hadith is the same as the above one.

number of rak'ahs that he observed.

Ibn 'Abbas saying: You have been commanded to observe
circumambulation, and not commanded to enter it (the
Ka'ba)? He ('Ata') said: He (Ibn Abbas) (at the same time)
did not forbid entrance into it. I, however, heard him
saying: Usama b. Zaid informed me that when Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) entered the House, he
supplicated in all sides of it; and he did not observe
prayer therein till he came out, and as he came out he
observed two rak'ahs in front of the House, and said: This

Chapter 67: THE DEMOLISHING OF THE KA'BA AND ITS
RECONSTRUCTION
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's
Messenger may peace be upon him) said to me: Had your
people not been unbelievers in the recent past (had they
not quite recently accepted Islam), I would have
demolished the Ka'ba and would have rebuilt it on the
foundation (laid) by Ibrahim; for when the Quraish had
built the Ka'ba, they reduced its (area), and I would also
have built (a door) in the rear.
'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him), reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as having said this: Didn't you see that when your people
built the Ka'ba, they reduced (its area with the result
that it no longer remains) on the foundations (laid) by
Ibrahim. I said: Messenger of Allah, why don't you rebuild
it on the foundations (laid by) Ibrahim? Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Had your people
not been new converts to Islam, I would have done that.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: If
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) had heard it from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be up (vn him), I would not
have seen Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
abandoning the touching of the two corners situated near
al-Hijr, but (for the fact) that it was not completed on
the foundations (laid) by Ibrihim.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), wife of Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him), heard Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) as saying: If your people, had not
been recent converts to Islam, I would have spent the
treasure of the Ka'ba in the way of Allah and would have
constructed its door just on the level of the ground and
would have encompassed in it the space of Hijr.
'Abdullah b. Zubair (Allah be pleased with him)
reported on the authority of his mother's sister ('A'isha)
saying that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: 'A'isha, if your people had not been recently
polytheists (and new converts to Islam), I would have
demolished the Ka'ba, and would have brought it to the
level of the ground and would have constructed two doors,
one facing the east and the other one to the west, and
would have added to it six cubits of area from Hijr, for
the Quraish had reduced it when they rebuilt it.
'Ata' reported: The House was burnt during the time of
Yazid b. Muawiya when the people of Syria had fought (in
Mecca). And it happened with it (the Ka'ba) what was (in
store for it). Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) felt
it (in the same state) until the people came in the season
(of Hajj). (The idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort
them or incite them (to war) against the people of Syria.
When the people had arrived he said to them: O people,
advise me about the Ka'ba. Should I demolish it and then
build it from its very foundation, or should I repair
whatever has been damaged of it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea
has occurred to me according to which I think that you
should only repair (the portion which has been) damaged,
and leave the House (in that very state in which) people
embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in the same
state) when people embraced Islam, and over which Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) had raised it. Thereupon
Ibn Zubair said: It the house of any one of you is burnt,
he would not be contented until he had reconstructed it,
then what about the House of your Lord (which is far more
Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from
my Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about
this affair. After seeking good advice thrice, he made up
his mind to demolish it. The people apprehended that
calamity might fall from heaven on those persons who would
be first to climb (over the building for the purpose of
demolishing it), till one (took up courage, and ascended
the roof), and threw down one of its stones. When the
people saw no calamity befalling him, they followed him,
demolished it until it was razed to the ground. Then Ibn
Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains on them (in order
to provide facilities to the people for observing the time
of its construction). And the walls were raised; and Ibn
Zubair said: I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
say that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had
observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned)
unbelief, find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which
I had not, I would have definitely excompassed in it five
cubits of area from Hijr. And I would also have
constructed a door for the people to enter, and a door for
their exit. I today have (the means to spend) and I
entertain no fearfrom the side of people (that they would
protest against this change). So he added five cubits of
area from the side of Hatim to it that there appeared (the
old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had built the
Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this
foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the
Ka'ba was eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it
(which was in its breadth), then naturally the length
appears to be) small (as compared with its breadth). Then
addition of ten cubits (of area) was made in its length
(also). Two doors were also constructed, one of which (was
meant) for entrance and the other one for exit. When Ibn
Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) was killed, Hajjaj
wrote to 'Abd al-Malik (b. Marwan) informing him about it,
and telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with
him) had built (the Ka'ba) on those very foundations
(which were laid by Ibrahim) and which reliable persons
among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al-Malik wrote to him: We
are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in
anything. Keep intact the addition made by him in the side
of length, and whatever he has added frem the side of Hijr
revert to (its previous) foundation, and wall up the door
which he had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd
al-Malik) demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on
(its previous) foundations.
Abdullah b. 'Ubaid reported that Harith b. 'Abdullah
led a deputation to 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan during his
caliphate. 'Abd al-Malik said: I do riot think that Abu
Khubaib (i. e. Ibn Zabair) had heard from 'A'isha (Allah
be pleased with her) (about the intended wish of the Holy
Prophet [may peace be upon him) In regard to the
alteration of the Ka'ba). Harith said: Yes, I myself did
hear from her. He ('Abd al-Malik) said: Well, tell me what
you heard from her. He stated that she (Hadrat 'A'isha)
had said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
remarked: Verily your people have reduced (the area) of
the House from its (original foundations, and if they had
not recently abandoned polytheism (and embraced Islam) I
would have reversed it to (those foundations) which they
had left out of it. nd if your people would take
initiative after me in rebuilding it, then come along with
me so that I should show you what they have left out of
it. He showed her about fifteen cubits of area from the
side of Hatim (that they had separated). This is the
narration transmitted by 'Abdullah b. Ubaid. Walid b.
'Ata' has, however, made this addition to it:" Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: I would have made
two doors on the level of the ground (facing) the east and
the west. Do you know why your people raised the level of
its door (i. e. the door of the Ka'ba)? She said: No. He
said: (They did it) out of vanity so that (they might be
in a position) to grant admittance to him only whom they
wished. When a person intended to get into it, they let
him climb (the stairs), and as he was about to enter, they
pushed him and he fell down." 'Abd al-Malik said to
Harith; Did you yourself hear her saying this? He said:
Yes. He (Harith) said that he ('Abd al-Malik) scratched
the ground with his staff for some time and then said: I
wish I had left his (Ibn Zubair's) work there.
Abu Qaza'ah reported that while Abd al-Malik b. Marwan
was circumambulating the Ka'ba he said: May Allah ruin Ibn
Zubair that he lies in attributing to the Mother of the
Faithful, as he says: I heard her stating that Allah's
Messenger (may'peace be upon him) had said: 'A'isha, if
your people had not been new converts to Islam, I would
have demolished the House and would have added (in it
area) from the Hijr for your people have reduced the area
from its foundations. Harith b. 'Abdullah b. Abu Rabi'a
(Allah be pleased with him) said: Commander of the
Faithful, don't say that, for I heard the Mother of the
Faithful saying this, whereupon he said: If I had heard
this before demolishing it, I would have left it in the
state in which Ibn Zabair had built it.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about the wall,
circumpassing the House (i. e. whether the wall on the
side of Hijr was included in the Ka'ba). He said, Yes. I
said: Then why did they not include it in the House? He
said: 'Your people ran short of the means (to do so). I
said: Why is it that the level of its door is raised high?
He said: Your people did it so that they should admit one
whom they liked, and forbid him whom they disliked, and if
your people were not new converts to faith, and I did not
apprehend that their hearts would feel agitated at this. I
would have definitely included (the area of) this wall-in
the House and would have brought the door to the level of
the ground.
'A'isha reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) about Hijr, and the rest of the hadith is the
same. I also said: Why is it that the door has been made
on a higher level, and one cannot (get into it) but with
the help of a ladder? The rest of the hadith is the same
as reported above and the concluding words are: (I do not
change it) out of the apprehension that their hearts may
disapprove of it."
Chapter 69: ONE MAY PERFORM HAJJ ON BEHALF OF THE
MAIMED THE OLD AND THE DECEASED
'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that while al-Fadl b.
Abbas had been riding behind Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) a women of the tribe of Khath'am came to him
(to the Holy Proppet) asking for a religious verdict. Fadl
looked at her and she looked at him. Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) turned the face of al-Fadl to the
other side. She said: Messenger of Allah, there is an
obligation from Allah upon His servants in regard to Hajj.
(But) my father is an aged man; he is incapable of riding
safely. May I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: Yes. It
was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.
Fadl reported that a woman of Banu Khath'am said:
Messenger of Allah, my father is very old. There is an old
obligation of Hajj upon him from Allah, but he is not
capable of sitting on the back of the camel. Thereupon
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Perform Hajj
on his behalf.
Chapter 70: THE VALIDITY OF THE HAJJ PERFORMED BY
A BOY AND REWARD FOR ONE WHO ENABLES HIM TO PERFORM IT (BY
ACCOMPANYING HIM AND BEARING EXPENSES FOR HIM)
Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) met some riders at al-Rauha and asked who they
were. They replied that they were Muslims. They said: Who
art thou? He said: (I am) Messengef of Allah. A woman
(then) lifted up a boy to him and said: Would this child
be credited with having performed the Hajj? Thereupon he
said: Yes, and you will have a reward.
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: A
woman lifted up her child and said: Messenger of Allah,
would the child be credited with having performed the
Hajj? Thereupon he said: Yes, and there would be a reward
for you.
Karaib reported: A woman lifted a child and said:
Messenger of Allah, would he be credited with Hajj? He
said: Yes. and for you there would be a reward.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) addressed us and
said: O people, Allah has made Hajj obligatory for you; so
perform Hajj. Thereupon a person said: Messenger of Allah,
(is it to be performed) every year? He (the Holy Prophet)
kept quiet, and he repeated (these words) thrice,
whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
If I were to say" Yes," it would become obligatory (for
you to perform it every year) and you would not be able to
do it. Then he said: Leave me with what I have left to
you, for those who were before you were desroyed because
of excessive questioning, and their opposition to their
apostles. So when I command you to do anything, do it as
much as it lies in your power and when I forbid you to do
anything, then abandon it.
Chapter 72: TRAVELLING OF A WOMAN WITH HER MAHRAM
FOR HAJJ, ETC.
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A woman
should not set out on three (days' journey) except when
she has a Mahram with her.
This hadith has been narrated on the same authority by
Ubaidullah. And in the narration of Abu Bakr (the words
are):" More than three (days)." Ibn Numair narrated on the
authority of his father, (and the words are):" Three
(days) except (when) she has a Mahram with her."
'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah -be pleased with them)
reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as
saying: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah
and the Hereafter to travel for more than three nights
journey except when there is a Mahram with her.
Qaza'ah reported: I heard a hadith from Abu Sa'id
(Allah be pleased with him) and it impressed me (very
much), so I said to him: Did you hear it (yourself) from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? Thereupon he
said: (Can) I speak of anything about Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) which I did not bear? He said: I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying: Do
not set out on a journey (for religious devotion) but for
the three mosques-for this mosque of mine (at Medina) the
Sacred Mosque (at Mecca), and the Mosque al-Aqsa (Bait
al-Maqdis), and I heard him saying also: A woman should
not travel for two days duration, but only when there is a
Mahram with her or her husband.
Qaza'ah reported: I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be
pleased with him) saying: I heard four things from Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) which impressed me and
captivated me (and one out of these is this), that he
forbade a woman to undertake journey extending over two
days but with her husband, or with a Mahram; and he then
narrated the rest of the hadith.
Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A woman
should not set out on three (days') journey, but in the
company of a Mahram.
Abu Sa'id Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: A woman
should not set out on a journey extending beyond three
nights but with a Mahram.

Qatada with the same chain of transmitters and he said:"
More than three (days) except in the company of a Mahram."
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is
not lawful for a Muslim woman to travel a night's journey
except when there is a Mahram with her.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is
not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the
Hereafter to undertake a day's journey except in the
company of a Mahram.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is
not lawful for a woman believing in Allah and the
Hereafter to undertake journey extending over a day and a
night except when there is a Mahram with her.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is
not lawful for a woman to undertake three (days, ) journey
except when there is a Mahram with her.

reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: It is not lawful for a woman believing in Allah
and the Hereafter to undertake journey extending over
three days or more, except when she is in the company of
her father, or her son, or her husband, or her brother, or
any other Mahram.
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) delivering
a sermon and making this observation:" No person should be
alone with a woman except when there is a Mahram with her,
and the woman should not undertake journey except with a
Mahram." A person stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, my
wife has set out for pilgrimage, whereas I am enlisted to
fight in such and such battle, whereupon he said:" You go
and perform Hajj with your wife."
Ibn Juraij narrated this hadith with the same chain of
transmitters, but he made no mention of it:" No person
should be alone with a woman except when there is a Mahram
with her."
Chapter 73: WHAT IS TO BE UTTERED WHEN ONE SETS
OUT FOR HAJJ OR ANY OTHER JOURNEY
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
whenever Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mounted
his camel while setting out on a journey, he glorified
Allah (uttered Allah-o-Akbar) thrice, and then said:
Hallowed is He Who subdued for us this (ride) and we were
not ourselves powerful enough to use It as a ride, and we
are going to return to our Lord. O Allah, we seek virtue
and piety from Thee in this journey of ours and the act
which pleaseth Thee. O Allah, lighten this journey of
ours, and make its distance easy for us. O Allah, Thou art
(our) companion during the journey, and guardian of (our)
family. O Allah, I seek refuge with Thee from hardships of
the journey, gloominess of the sights, and finding of evil
changes in property and family on return. And he (the Holy
Prophet) uttered (these words), and made this addition to
them: We are returning, repentant, worshipping our Lord.
and praising Him.
Abdullah b. Sarjis (Allah be pleased with him) reported
that when Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) set
forth on a journey, he sought refuge (with Allah) from the
hardships of the travelling, and finding of evil changes
on return, and disgrace after honour, and the curse of the
oppressed and a gloomy sad scene in family and property.
A hadlth like this has been narrated on the authority
of Asim With the same chain of transmitters except (this
difference) that the hadith transmitted by 'Abd al-Wahid
(one of the narrators) the (word)" property" precedes the
family, and in the hadith transmitted by Mahammad b.
Khazim (the word)" family" precedes (theword" Property" ),
on returning home, in the narrations of both the narrators
(these words are found):" O Allah I seek refuge with Thee
from the hardships of the journey."
Chapter 74: WHAT IS TO BE RECITED ON RETURN FROM
THE JOURNEY OF HAJJ OR ANY OTHER JOURNEY
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that whenever Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) came back from the
battle or from expeditions or from Hajj or Umra and as he
reached the top of the hillock or upon the elevated hard
ground, he uttered Allah-o- Akbar thrice, and then said:
There is no god but Allah. He is One, there is no partner
with Him, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise and
He is Potent over everything. (We are) returning,
repenting, worshipping, prostrating before our Lord, and
we praise Him Allah fulfilled His promise and helped His
servant, and routed the confederates alone.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn
Umar through another chain of transmitters (but with one
alteration) that here Allah-o-Akbar is mentioned twice.
Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I
and Abu Talha (both) came back along with Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him). Safiyyah (the wife of the Holy
Prophet) rode behind him on his camel and as we came to
the out- skirts of Medina he said: (We are those) who
return, who repent, who worship our Lord, who praise
(Him), and he went on uttering this until we entered
Medina.
Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) made (his
camel) kneel down (i, e. halt at the stony ground of
Dhu'l-Hulaifa) and prayed there, and so did Abdullah b.
Umar (Allah be pleased with them).
Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased
with them) used to halt his camel in the stony ground at
Dhu'l-Hulaifa, where Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) used to make a halt (and pray).
Nafi' reported that when 'Abdullah b. 'Umar returned
from Hajj or 'Umra he made his camel kneel down (i. e.
halted) in the stony ground of Dhu'l-Hulaifa where Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) had made his camel halt.
Salim (b. Abdullah b. 'Umar) reported on the authority
of his father (Allah be pleased with them) that Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) was visited by (someone,
i. e. an angel) during the fag end of the night at
Dhu'l-Hulaifa, and it was said to him: Verily it is a
blessed stony-ground.
Salim b. Abdullah b. Umar reported on the authority of
his father (Allah be pleased with them) that Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) came to Dhu'l- Hulaifa in
the heart of the valley at the fag end of the night, and
it was said to him: It is a blessed stony ground. Musa
(one of the narrators) said: Salim made his came) halt at
the mosque where 'Abdullah made his camel halt as seeking
the place of stay of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him). It is, in fact, situated at a lower plain than the
mosque, which stands in the heart of the valley, and it is
between it (the mosque) (and Qibla) that that place (where
Allah's Apostle used to get down for rest and prayer) is
situated.
Chapter 76: NO POLYTHEIST IS AUTHORISED TO
PERFORM PILGRIMAGE OF THE KA'BA AND CIRCUMAMBULATE THE HOUSE
NAKED AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GREAT HAJJ
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Abu
Bakr Siddiq (Allah be pleased with him) sent me during
Hajj before the Farewell Pilgrimage for which Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) had appointed him an
Amir, among a group of people whom he had ordered to make
announcement to the people on the Day of Nahr:" After this
year no polytheist may perform the Pilgrimage and no naked
person may circumambulate the House." Ibn Shihab stated
that Humaid b. Abd al-Rahman said that according to this
narration of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) the
day of Hajj al-Akbar (Great Hajj) is this Day of Nahr
(10th of Dhu'l-Hijja).
Chapter 77: THE MERIT OF HAJJ AND UMRA AND THE
DAY OF 'ARAFA (THE 9TH OF DHU'L-HIJJA)
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is no
day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the
Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the
angels, saying: What do these want?
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: An
Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and
the next, and Hajj which is accepted will receive no other
reward than Paradise.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. He
who came to this House (Ka'ba) (with the intention of
performing Pilgrimage), and neither spoke indecently nor
did he act wickedly. would return (free from sin) as on
the (very first day) his mother bore him.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of
Mainsur with the same chain of transmitters (and the words
are):" He who performed Pilgrimage but neither spoke
indecently nor acted wickedly."
Usama b. Zaid b. Haritha (Allah be pleased with him)
said to Alla's Messenger (may peace be upon him): Will you
stay in your house at Mecca (which you abandoned at the
time of migration)? Thereupon he said: Has 'Aqil left for
as any land or house? And 'Aqil and Talib became the
Inheritors of Abu Talib's (property), and neither Ja'far
nor 'Ali inherited anything from him, for both (Ja'far and
'Ali) were Muslims whereas 'Aqil and Talib were
non-Muslims.
Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah's
Messenger, God willing, where will you stay tomorrow? And
it was at the time of the Conquest (of Mecca). Thereupon
he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has 'Aqil left any
accommodation for us?
Chapter 79: THE MUHAJIR IS PERMITTED TO STAY FOR
THREE DAYS IN MECCA AFTER HAJJ AND UMRA AND NOT MORE THAN
THIS
Al-'Ali' b. al-Hadrami reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace he upon as saying: For a Mahijir, it is only three
(days') stay at Mecca, after completing (the Hajj or
'Umra) that is allowed, and it seemed as if he was saying
that he should not (stay) beyond this (period).
Al-'Ali, ' b. al-Hadrami reported Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) as saying: The Muhijir should stay
at Mecca after performing the rituals (of Hajj) but for
three (days) only.
Al-'Ala' b. al-Hadrami reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: It is only for three nights
that a Muhajir should stay at Mecca after the completion
of the rituals of Hajj.
Al-" Ala' b. al-Hadrami reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: The stay at Mecca after the
completion of his rituals (of Hajj) is only for three
days.
Ibn Juraij narrated this hadith with the same chain of
transmitters.
Chapter 80: THE SACRED TERRITORY OF MECCA AND ITS
INVIOLABILITY AND THE PROHIBITION TO DO HUNTING IN IT AND
ITS SUBURBS, AND FELLING DOWN OF ITS TREES AND CUTTING ITS
GRASS
Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying on the Day of
Victory over Mecca: There is no Hijra (emigration) but
only Jihad and good intention; and when you are called to
battle, then go forth. He also said on the Day of Victory
over Mecca: Allah made this town sacred on the day He
created the earth and the heavens; so it is -sacred by the
sacred- ness conferred on it by Allah until the Day of
Resurrection and fighting in it was not lawful to anyone
before me, and it was made lawful for me only during an
hour on one day, for it is sacred by the sacredness
conferred on it by Allah until the Day of Resurrection.
Its thorns are not to be cut, its game is not to be
molested, and the things dropped are to be picked up only
by one who makes a public announcement of it, and its
fresh herbage is not to be cut. Abbas (Allah be pleased
with him) said: Messenger of Allah, exception may be made
in case of rush, for it is useful for their blacksmiths
and for their houses. He (the Holy Prophet) conceding the
suggestion of 'Abbas) said: Except rush.
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority
of Mansur, but he did not mention:" On that very day He
created the heavens and the earth," and he (the narrator)
substituted the word" fighting" (qital) for" killing"
(qatl), and further said:" No one is to pick up the
dropped thing except one who makes a public announcement
of it."
Abu Shuraih al-'Adawi reported that he said to Amr b.
Sa'id when he was sending troops to Mecca: Let me tell you
something. O Commander, which Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said on the day following, the Conquest which
my ears heard and my heart has retained, and my eyes saw
as he spoke it. He praised Allah and extolled Him and then
said: Allah, not men, has made Mecca sacred; so it is not
permissible for any person believing in Allah and the Last
Day to shed blood in it, or lop a tree in it. If anyone
seeks a concession on the basis of fighting of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), tell him that Allah
permitted His Messenger, but not you, and He gave him
permission only for an hour on one day, and its sacredness
was restored on the very day like that of yesterday. Let
him who is present convey the information to him who is
absent. It was said to Abu Shuraih: What did Amr say to
you? He said: I am better informed of that than you, Abu
Shuraih, but the sacred territory does not grant
protection to one who is disobedient, or one who runs away
after shedding blood, or one who runs away after
committing
Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him) reported. When
Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, granted Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) victory over Mecca, he stood
before people and praised and extolled Allah and then
said: Verily Allah held back the elephants from Mecca and
gave the domination of it to His Messenger and believers,
and it (this territory) was not violable to anyone before
me and it was made violable to me for an hour of a day,
and it shall not be violable to anyone after me. So
neither molest the game, nor weed out thorns from it. And
it is not lawful for anyone to pick up a thing dropped but
one who makes public announcement of it. And it a relative
of anyone is killed he is entitled to opt for one of two
things. Either he should be paid blood-money or he can
take life as (a just retribution). 'Abbas (Allah be
pleased with him) said: Allah's Messenger, but Idhkhir (a
kind of herbage), for we use it for our graves and for our
houses, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: With the exception of Idhkhir. A person known
as Abu Shah, one of the people of Yemen, stood up and
said: Messenger of Allah, (kindly) write it for me.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said I
Write it for Abu Shah. Walid said: I asked al-Auzai': What
did his saying mean:" Write it for me, Messenger of
Allah"? He said: This very address that he had heard from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
people of the Khuza'ah tribe killed a man of the tribe of
Laith in the Year of Victory as a retaliation for one whom
they had killed (whom the people of the tribe of Laith had
killed). It was reported to Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him). He mounted his camel and delivered this
address: Verily Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, held back
the Ele- phants from Mecca, and gave its domination to His
Messenger and believers. Behold, it was not violable for
anyone before me and it will not be violable for anyone
after me. Behold, it was made violable for me for an hour
of a day; and at this very hour it has again been made
inviolable (for me as well as for others). So its thorns
are not to be cut, its trees are not to be lopped, and (no
one is allowed to) pick up a thing dropped, but the one
who makes an announcement of it. And one whose fellow is
killed is allowed to opt between two alternatives: either
he should receive blood-money or get the life of the
(murderer) in return. He (the narrator said): A person
from the Yemen, who was called Abu Shah, came to him and
said: Messenger of Allah, write it down for me, whereupon
he (Allah's Messenger) said: Write it down for Abu Shah.
One of the persons from among the Quraish also said:
Except Idhkhir, for we use it in our houses ant our
graves. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Except Idhkhir.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) say: It is not
permissible for any one of you to carry weapons in Mecca.
Chapter 81: IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO ENTER MECCA
WITHOUT IHRAM
Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with them) reported
that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) entered Mecca
in the Year of Victory with a helmet on his head; and when
he took it off, a man came to him and said: Ibn Khatal is
hanging on to the curtains of the Ka'ba, whereupon he
said: Kill him. Malik (one of the narrators) attested this
statement having been made.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with
them) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) entered Mecca and Qutaiba (another narrator) stated
that he entered Mecca in the Year of Victory, wearing a
black turban, but not wearing the Ihram.
Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) entered on the day of Victory of Mecca
wearing a black turban on his head. and she said: In case
Allah cures me I will certainly go and observe prayer in
Bait al-Maqdis. She recovered and so she made preparations
to go out (to that place). She came to Maimuna. the wife
of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). and after
greeting her she informed her about it, whereupon she
said: Stay here. and eat the provision (which you had
made) and observe prayer In the mosque of the Messenger
(may peace be upon him). for I heard Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) say: Prayer in it is better than a
thousand prayers observed in other mosques except the
mosque of the Ka'ba.
Amr b. Huraith reported on the authority of his father
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) addressed
the people (on the day of the Victory of Mecca) with a
black turban on his head.
Ja'far b. 'Amr b. Huraith reported his father as
saying: As if I am seeing Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) on the pulpit with a black turban on his head,
and its two ends hanging between his shoulders. Abu Bakr
(another narrator) did not make mention of:" Upon the
pulpit".
Chapter 82: EMINENCE OF MEDINA. ALLAH'S APOSTLE
(MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) SHOWERED BLESSINGS UPON IT, ITS
SACREDNESS, AND UNLAWFULNESS OF HUNTING AND LOPPING OF TREES
AND DEMARCATION ITS PRECINCTS
'Abdullah b. Zaid b. 'Asim (Allah be pleased with him)
reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: Verily Ibrahim declared Mecca sacred and
supplicated (for blessings to be showered) upon its
inhabitants, and I declare Medina to be sacred as lbrahim
had declared Mecca to be sacred. I have supplicated (Allah
for His blessings to be showered) in its sa' and its mudd
(two standards of weight and measurement) twice as did
Ibrahim for the inhabitants of Mecca. This hadith has been
narrated through another chain of transmitters with a
slight varia- tion of words.
Rafi' b. Khadij reported Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) as saying: Ibrahim declared Mecca as sacred
and I declare sacred the area between its two stony
grounds (lava lands by which he meant Medina).
Nafi' b. Jubair reported that Marwan b. al-Hakam (Allah
be pleased with him) addressed people and made mention of
Mecca and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but he made
no mention of Medina, its inhabitants and its sacredness.
Rafi' b. Khadij called to him and said: What is this that
I hear you making mention of Mecca and its inhabitants and
its sacredness, but you did not make mention of Medina and
its inhabitants and its sacredness, while the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) has also declared sacred
(the area) between its two lava lands (Medina)? And (we
have record of this) with us written on Khaulani
parchment. If you like, I can read it out to you.
Thereupon Marwan became silent, and then Said: I too have
heard some part of it.
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Ibrahim
declared Mecca as sacred; I declare Medina, that between
the two mountains, as inviolable. No tree should be lopped
and no game is to be molested.
Amir b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father
(Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: I have declared sacred the
territory between the two lava plains of Medina, so its
trees should not be cut down, or its game killed; and he
also said: Medina is best for them if they knew. No one
leaves it through dislike of it without Allah putting in
it someone better than he in place of him; and no one will
stay there in spite of its hardships and distress without
my being an intercessor or witness on behalf of him on the
Day of Resurrection.
'Amir b. Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas reported on the authority
of his father (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said, and then the
(above-mentioned) hadith was narrated with this addition:"
None should nurse ill-will towards the people of Medina,
or Allah will melt him in fire like the melting of lead or
the dissolution of salt in water.
'Amir b. Sa'd reported that Sa'd rode to his castle in
al-'Aqiq and found a slave cutting down the trees, or
beating off their leaves, so he stripped him off his
belongings. When Sa'd returned, there came to him the
masters of the slave and negotiated with him asking him to
return to their slave or to them what he had taken from
their slave, whereupon he said: God forbid that I should
return anything which Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) has given me as spoil, and refused to return anything
to them.
Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to Abu
Talha (Allah be pleased with him): Find for me a servant
from amongst your boys to serve me. Abu Talha went out
along with me and made me sit behind him. And I used to
serve Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) whenever
he got down from the camel. And in one hadith he said: He
proceeded and when (the mountain of) Uhud was within
sight, he said: This is the mountain which loves us and we
love it. And as he came close to Medina he said: O Allah,
I declare (the area) between the two mountains of it
(Medina) sacred just as Ibrahim declared Mecca as sacred.
O Allah, bless them (the people of Medina) in their mudd
and sa'.
Anas b. Malik reported a hadith like this from Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) except with this variation
that he said:" I declare sacred the area between its two
lava mountains."
'Asim reported: I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) had declared Medina as
sacred. He said: Yes. (the area) between so and so. He who
made any innovation in it, and further said to me: It is
something serious to make any innovation in it (and he who
does it) there is upon him the curse of Allah, and that of
the angels and of all the people, Allah will not accept
from him on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts
or the surpererogatory acts. Ibn Anas said: Or he
accommodates an innovator.
'Asim reported: I asked Anas (Allah be pleased with
him) whether Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had
declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes, it is sacred, so
its tree is not to be cut; and he who did that let the
curse of Allah and that of the angels and of all people be
upon him.
Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Allah
bless them in their measurements, bless them in their sa's
and bless them in their mudd.
Anas b. Malik (Allah he pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah,
increase in Medina twice the blessings (Thou showered) on
Mecca.
Ibrahim al-Taimi reported on the authority of his
father: 'Ali b. Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him)
addressed us and said: He who thought that we have besides
the Holy Qur'an anything else that we recite, he told a
lie. And this document which is hanging by the sheath of
the sword contains but the ages of the camels, and the
nature of the wounds. He (Hadrat 'Ali) reported Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Medina is
sacred from 'Air to Thaur; So if anyone makes an
innovation or accommodates an innovator, the curse of
Allah, the angels, and all persons will fall upon him, and
Allah will not accept any obligatory or supererogatory act
as recompense from them. And the protection granted by the
Muslims is one and must be respected by the humblest of
them. If anyone makes a false claim to paternity, or being
a client of other than his own masters, there is upon him
the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people. Allah
will not accept from him any recompense in the form of
obligatory acts or supererogatory acts. The hadith
transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr and Zabair ends
with (these words): The humblest among them should respect
it; and what follows after it is not mentioned there, and
in the hadith transmitted by them (these words are) not
found: (The document was hanging) on the sheath of his
sword.
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority
of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters (but at the
end) these words are added:" He who violated the covenant
with a Muslim, there is upon him the curse of Allah, of
angels and of all people. Neither an obligatory act nor a
supererogatory act would be accepted from him as
recompense on the Day of Resurrection; and in the hadith
transmitted by two other narrators these words are not
found:" He who claimed false paternity." And in the hadith
transmitted by Waki' there is no mention of the Day of
Resurrection.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Medina
is a sacred territory, so he who made any innovation in
it. or gave protection to an innovator, there is upon him
the curse of Allah, that of the angels and that of all the
people. There would not be accepted on the Day of
Resurrection either obligatory acts or supererogatory acts
from him.
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority
of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but no
mention has been made of the Day of Resurrection. But this
addition is made:" The protection granted by Muslims is
one and must be respected by the humblest of them. And he
who broke the covenant made by a Muslim, there is a curse
of Allah, of his angels, and of the whole people upon him,
and neither an obligatory act nor a supererogatory act
would be accepted from him as recompense on the Day of
Resurrection."
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: If I
were to see deer grazing in Medina, I would have never
molested them, for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) has stated: There is between the two lava mountains a
sacred territory.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) declared sacred
the territory between two lava mountains of Medina. Abu
Huraira said: If I were to find deer in the territory
between the two mountains, I would not molest them, and he
(the Holy Prophet) declared twelve miles of suburb around
Medina as a prohibited pasture.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
when the people saw the first fruit (of the season or of
plantation) they brought it to Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him). When he received it he said: O Allah, bless
us in our fruits; and bless us in our city; and bless us
in our sa's and bless us in our mudd. O Allah, Ibrahim was
Thy servant, Thy friend, and Thy apostle; and I am Thy
servant and Thy apostle. He (Ibrahim) made supplication to
Thee for (the showering of blessings upon) Mecca, and I am
making supplication to Thee for Medina just as he made
supplication to Thee for Mecca, and the like of it in
addition. He would then call to him the youngest child and
give him these fruits.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was given the
first fruit and he said: O Allah, shower blessings upon us
in our city, and in our fruits, in our mudd and in our
sa's, blessings upon blessings, and he would then give
that to the youngest of the children present there.
Abu Sa'id Maula al-Mahri reported that they were hard
pressed by the distress and hardship of Medina, and he
come to AbU Sa'Id al-Khudri and said to him: I have a
large family (to support) and we are enduring hardships; I
have, therefore, made up my mind to take my family to some
fertile land. Thereupon Abu Sa'id said: Don't do that,
stick to Medina, for we have come out with Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him), and (I think that he also said)
until we reached 'Usfan, and he (the Holy Prophet along
with his Companions) stayed there for some nights. There
the people said: By Allah, we are lying here idle, whereas
our children are unprotected behind us, and we do not feel
secure about them. This (apprehension of theirs) reached
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), whereupon he
said: What is this matter concerning you that has reached
me? (I do not retain how he said it, whether he said like
this: ) By Him (in the name of Whom) I take oath, (or he
said like this: ) By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I made
up my mind or if you like (I do not retain what word did
he actually say), I should command my camel to proceed and
not to let it halt until it comes to Medina and then said:
Ibrahim declared Mecca as the sacred territory and it
became sacred, and I declare Medina as the sacred
territory-the area between the two mountains ('Air and
Uhud). Thus no blood is to be shed within its (bounds) and
no weapon is to be carried for fighting, and the leaves of
the trees there should not be beaten off except for
fodder. O Allah, bless us in our city; O Allab, bless us
in our sil; O Allah, bless us in our mudd; O Allah, bless
us in our sa; O Allah, bless us in our mudd. O Allah,
bless us in our city. O Allah, bless with this blessing
two more blessings. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, there
is no ravine or mountain path of Medina which is not
protected by two angels until you reach there. (He then
said to the people: ) Proceed, and we, therefore,
proceeded and we came to Medina By Him (in Whose name) we
take oath and (in Whose name) oath is taken (Hammad is in
doubt about it), we had hardly put down our camel saddles
on arriving at Medina that we were attacked by the people
of the tribe of 'Abdullah b. Ghatafan but none dared to do
it before.
Abu Sa'id al-Kbudri (Allah be pleased with him)
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: O Allah, bless us in our sa' and mud and shower with
its blessings two other blessings (multiply blessings
showerted upon it).
Abu Sa'id Maula al-Mahri reported that he came to Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri during the nights (of the turmoil) of
al-Barrah, and sought his advice about leaving Medina, and
complained of the high prices prevailing therein and his
large family, and informed him that he could not stand the
hardships of Medina and its rugged surrounding. He said to
him: Woe to you; I will not advise you to do it, for I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
No one will endure hardships of Medina without my being an
intercessor or a witness on his behalf on the Day of
Resurrectiar), if he is a Muslim.
Abd al-Rahman reported on the authority of his father
Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) that he heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I
have declared sacred what is between the two lava grounds
of Medina just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared
Mecca as sacred. He (the narrator) then said: Abu Sa'id
caught hold of (Abu Bakr, another narrator, used the word"
found" ) a bird in his hand and then released it from his
hand and set it free.
Sahl b. Hunif reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) pointed with his hands towards Medina
and said: That is a sacred territory and a place of
safety.
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: When we
came to Medina, and it was an unhealthy, uncogenial place,
Abu Bakr fell sick and Bilal also fell sick; and when
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw the illness
of his Companions he said: O Allah, make Medina as
congenial to us as you made Mecca congenial or more than
that; make it conducive to health, and bleesus in its sa'
and in its mudd, and transfer its fever to al-juhfa.
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who
patiently endures the hardships of it (of this city of
Medina), I would be an intercessor or a withness on his
behalf on the Day of Resurrection.
Yuhannis, the freed slave of Zubair, narrated that when
he was sitting with Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased
with him) during the days of turmoil, his freed slave-girl
came to him. After saluting him she said: Abu Abd
al-Rahmin, I have decided to leave (Medina) for the time
is hard for us, whereupon Abdullah said to her: Stay here,
foolish lady, for I have heard Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: For one who shows endurance
on the hardships and rigour of it (of Medina) I would be
an intercessor or a witness on his behalf on the Day of
Resurrection.
Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: I
heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
He who patiently endured the hardships and rigours of
(this city, i. e. Medina), I would be his witness and
intercessor on the Day of Resurrection.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: For
one among my Ummah who shows endurance against the
hardships and rigours of Medina, I would be an intercessor
or a witness on his behalf on the Day of Resurrection.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: None
who shows endurance on the hardships of Medina,... (the
rest of the hadith is the same).
Chapter 83: THE SECURITY OF MEDINA AGAINST PLAGUE
AND DAJJAL
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There
are at the approaches of Medina angels so that plague and
the Dajjal shall not penetrate into it.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Dajjal will come from the eastern side with the intention
of attacking Medina until he will get down behind Uhud.
Then the angels will turn his face towards Syria and there
he will perish.
Chapter 84: MEDINA WIPES OUT EVIL FROM IT AND ITS
OTHER NAMES ARE TABBA AND TAIBA
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A
time will come for the people (of Medina) when a man will
invite his cousin and any other near relation: Come (and
settle) at (a place) where living is cheap, come to where
there is plenty, but Medina will be better for them; would
they know it! By Him in Whose Hand is my life, none
amongst them would go out (of the city) with a dislike for
it, but Allah would make his successor in it someone
better than be. Behold. Medina is like furnace which
eliminates from it the impurities. And the Last Hour will
not come until Medina banishes its evils just as a furnace
eliminates the impurities of iron.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: I
have been commanded (to migrate) to a town (Medina) which
would overpower other towns. They (the people) call it
Yathrib; its correct name is (in fact) Medina. It
eliminates (bad) people just as a furnace removes the
alloy of iron.
This hadith has been narrated by Yabya b. Sa'id with
the same chain of transmitters (and the words are):" Just
as a furance removes impurity," but no mention is made of
iron.
Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported
that a desert Arab swore allegiance to Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him). He suffered frozn a severe fever
in Medina (and) so he came to Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) saying: Mubammad. cancel my oath of
allegiance, but Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
refused it. He again came and caid: Cancel my oath of
allegiance. but he (the Holy Prophet) refused it. He again
came to him and said: Cancel my oath of allegiance, but he
refused. The desert Arab, however, went away (cancelling
the allegiance himself) ; thereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: Medina is like a furnace which
drives away its impurity and purifies what is good.
Zaid b. Thabit reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) as saying: It is Taiba, thereby meaning Medina.
It drives away impurity just as fire removes the impurity
of silver.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that
Abu'I-Qasim (Mubammad, may peace be upon him) said: He who
intends to do harm to the people of this city (that is,
Medina). Allah would efface him as salt is dissolved in
water.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: He who intends to do harm to its
people (he meant Medina), Allah would efface him as salt
is dissolved in water. Ibn Hatim (one of the narrators)
substituted the word" harm" for" mischief".
Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: He who intends to do harm to
the people of Medina, Allah would efface him just as water
dissolves salt.
Abu Huraira and Sa'd reported Allah's Messenger (way
peace be upon him) as saying: O Allah, bless the people of
Medina in their mudd, the rest of the hadith being the
same, and in It (this is also mentioned):" He wo intends
to do harm to its people, Allah would efface him just as
salt it dissolved in water."
Chapter 86: EXHORTATION TO STAY IN MEDINA WHEN
THE TOWNS WILL BE CONQUERED
Sufyan b. Abd Zuhair reported Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: Syria will be conquered and
some people will go out of Medina along with their
families driving their camels. and Medina is better for
them if they were to know it. Then Yemen will be conquered
and some people will go out of Medina along with their
families driving their camels, and Medina is better for
them if they were to know it. Then Iraq will be conquered
and some people will go out of it along with their
families driving their camels, and Medina is better for
them if they were to know it.
Sufyan b. Abu Zuhair heard Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) say: Yemen will be conquered and some people
will go away (to that country) driving their camels and
carrying their families on them and those who are under
their authority, while Medina is better for them if they
were to know it. Then Syria will be conquered and some
people will go away driving their camels along with them
and carrying their families with them and those who are
under their authority, while Medina is better for theni if
they were to know it. Thtn lraq will be conquered and some
people will go away (to that country) driving their camels
and carrying their families with them and those who are
under their authority. while Medina is better for them if
they were to know it.
Salid b. Musayyib heard Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased
with him) say that 'Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said about Medina: Its inhabitants will abandon it,
whereas it is good for them and it will become the haunt
of beasts and birds. (Imam Muslim said that Abu Safwan,
one of the narrators whose name was 'Abdullah b. 'Abd
al-Malik, was an orphan and I bn juraij took him under his
care for ten years.)
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) heard Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: They (the residents
of) Medina will abandon Medina whereas it is good for them
and it will be haunted by beasts and birds, and two
shepherds will come out from Muzainah intending (to go)
towards Medina and tending their herd, and will find
nothing but wilderness there until when they will reach
the mountain path of Wada, they will fall down on their
faces.
Chapter 88: BETWEEN THE GRAVE (OF THE HOLY
PROPHET) AND THE PULPIT THERE IS A GARDEN FROM THE GARDENS
OF PARADISE
AbduUah b. Zaid al-Mazini (Allah be pleased with him)
reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: That which is between my house" and my pulpit is a
garden from the gardens of Paradise.
Abdullah b. Zaid al-Ansari heard Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: That which exists between my
pulpit and my house is a garden from the gardens of
Paradise.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: That
which exists between my house and my pulpit is a garden
from the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is upon my
cistern.
Chapter 89: UHUD IS A MOUNTAIN: IT LOVES US AND
WE LOVE IT
Abu Humaid (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We
went out along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) in the expedition of Tabuk, and Humaid further
related: We proceeded until we reached the valley of Qura;
and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I am
going forth, so he who among you wants to move fast with
me may do so; and he who likes to go slowly may do so. We
proceeded until Medina wag within our sight. and he said:
This is Tibba (another name of Medina) ; this is Ubud, the
mountain which loves us and we love it.
Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: Ohud
is a mountain which loves us and which we love. This
hadith is narrated by Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with
him) with another chain of transmitters (and the words
are):" AIlah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) cast a
glance at Ubud and said: Ubud is a mountain which loves us
and we love it."
Chapter 90: THE MERIT OF PRAYING IN THE TWO
MOSQUES, AT MECCA AND MEDINA
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated It
directly from Allah's Apostle' (may peace be upon him)
having said this: A prayer in my mosque is a thousand
times more excellent than a prayer in any other mosque,
except Masjid al-Haram (Mosque of the Ka'ba).
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Prayer in my mosque is more excellent than a thousand
prayers observed in other mosques except the Masjid al-
Haram.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Prayer in the mosque of Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) is more excellent than a thousand prayers in
other mosques except the Masjid al-Haram, for Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) is the last of the
Apostles, and his mosque is the last of the mosques. Abu
Salama and Abu Abdullah (two of the narrators in this
chain of narrations said: We had no doubt that what Abu
Haraira (Allah be pleased with him) had said was from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and so we did
not like to get an attestation from Abu Huraira about this
hadith until Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) died.
We discussed it (the issue of getting attestation from Abu
Huraira) amongst ourselves and blamed one another as to
why we did not talk about it to Abu Huraira regarding it
so that he could attribute its transmission to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) in case he had heard It
from him. While we were discussing it as we sat with
'Abdullah b. Ibrahlm b. Qariz; we made a mention of this
hadith, and our omission (in getting its attestation)
about its direct transmission by Abu Huraira from him (the
Holy Proohet) ; thereupon Abdullah b. Ibrahim said to us:
I bear witness to the fact that I heard Abu Huraira (Allah
be pleased with him) say that Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: I am the last of the Apostles and my
mosque is the last of the mosques.
Yahya b. Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I
said to Abu Salih: Did you hear Abu Huraira (Allah be
pleased with him) making a mention of the excellence of
prayer in the mosque of Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him)? He said: No (I did not hear directly from Abu
Huraira), but I heard Abdullah b. Ibrahlm b. Qariz; say
that' he had heard from Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with
him) that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had
said: Prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a
thousand prayers. or. is like one thousand prayers
observed in other mosques besides It, except that it be in
al-Masjid al-Haram. This hadith has been narrated by Yabya
b. Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters.
Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Prayer in this
mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers (observed
in other mosque.) besides it, except that of Masjid
al-Haram.
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that a
woman fell ill and she said: In case Allah cures me I will
certainly go and observe prayer in Bait al-Maqdis. She
recovered and so she made preparations to go out (to that
place). She came to Maimuna. the wife of Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him). and after greeting her she
informed her about it, whereupon she said: Stay here. and
eat the provision (which you had made) and observe prayer
In the mosque of the Messenger (may peace be upon him).
for I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say:
Prayer In it is better than a thousand prayers observed in
other mosques except the mosque of the Ka'ba.
Chapter 91: DO NOT UNDERTAKE JOURNEY (PURELY FOR
VISIT TO THE SACRED PLACES) BUT TO THREE MOSQUES
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported it
directly from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) that
he said: Do not undertake journey but to three mosques:
this mosque of mine, the Mosque of al-Haram and the Mosque
of Aqsa (Bait al-Maqdis).
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri
(but with this change of words) that he (Allah's Apostle)
said:" Undertake journey to three mosques."
Abu Haraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: One
should undertake journey to three mosques: the mosque of
the Ka'ba, my mosque, and the mosque of Elia (Bait
al-Maqdis).
Chapter 92: THE MOSQUE FOUNDED ON PIETY IS THE
MOSQUE OF THE APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) AT MEDINA
Abu Salama b. Abd al-Rabman reported: 'Abd al-Rabman b.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) happened
to pass by me and I said to him. How did you hear your
father making mention of the mosque founded on Piety? He
said: My father said: I went to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as he was in the house of one of his
wives, and said: Messenger of Allah, which of the two
mosques is founded on piety? Thereupon he took a handful
of pebbles and threw them on the ground and then said:
This is the very mosque of yours (mosque at Medina). He
(the narrator) said: I bear witness that I heard your
father making mention of it.
Abu Sa'id reported from Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) a hadlth like this, but in the chain of
transmitters no mention was made of Abd al- Rahman b. Abu
Sa'id.
Chapter 93: EMINENCE OF THE MOSQUE OF QUBA'AND
EXCELLENCE OF PRAYER IN IT
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to the
mosque at Quba' riding and on foot, and he observed two
rak'ahs of (Nafl prayer) in it.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) used to come to Quba', i. e. (he came)
on every Saturday, and he used to come riding or on foot.
Ibn Dinar (another narrator) said that Ibn Umar used to do
like this. This hadlth has been narrated on the authority
of Ibn Dinar, but he made no mention of:" Every Saturday."
