Ibn Abbas said: Aqra' ibn Habis asked the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
saying: Apostle of Allah hajj is to be performed annually
or only once? He replied: Only once, and if anyone
performs it more often, he performs a supererogatory act.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) saying
to his wives during the Farewell Pilgrimage: This (is the
pilgrimage for you); afterwards stick to the surface of
the mats (i.e. should stay at home).
Ibn Abbas recited this verse: 'It is no sin for you
that you seek the bounty of your Lord', and said: The
people would not trade in Mina (during the hajj), so they
were commanded to trade when they proceeded from Arafat.
AbuUmamah at-Taymi said: I was a man who used to give
(riding-beasts) on hire for this purpose (for travelling
during the pilgrimage) and the people would tell (me):
Your hajj is not valid. So I met Ibn Umar and told him:
AbuAbdurRahman, I am a man who gives (riding-beast) on
hire for this purpose (i.e. for hajj), and the people tell
me: Your hajj is not valid. Ibn Umar replied: Do you not
put on ihram (the pilgrim dress), call the talbiyah (labbayk),
circumambulate the Ka'bah, return from Arafat and lapidate
jamrahs? I said: Why not? Then he said: Your hajj is
valid. a man came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and
asked him the same question you have asked me. The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) kept silence and did not
answer him till this verse came down: "It is no sin for
you that you seek the bounty of your Lord." The Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent for him and recited this
verse to him and said: Your hajj is valid.
The people used to trade, in the beginning, at Mina,
Arafat, the market place of Dhul-Majaz, and during the
season of hajj. But (later on) they became afraid of
trading while they were putting on ihram. So Allah, glory
be to Him, sent down this verse: "It is no sin for you
that you seek the bounty of your Lord during the seasons
of hajj." Ubayd ibn Umayr told me that he (Ibn Abbas) used
to recite this verse in his codex.
She heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say:
If anyone puts on ihram for hajj or umrah from the Aqsa
mosque to the sacred mosque , his former and latter sins
will be forgiven, or he will be guaranteed Paradise. The
narrator Abdullah doubted which of these words he said.
I came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) when
he was at Mina, or at Arafat. He was surrounded by the
people. When the bedouins came and saw his face, they
would say: This is a blessed face. He said: He (the
Prophet) appointed Dhat Irq as the place of putting on
ihram for the people of Iraq.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A menstruating
woman and the one who delivered a child should take a
bath, put on ihram and perform all the rites of hajj
except circumambulation of the House (Ka'bah) when they
came to the place of wearing ihram. AbuMa'mar said in his
version: "till she is purified". The narrator Ibn Isa did
not mention the names of Ikrimah and Mujahid, but he said:
from Ata on the authority of Ibn Abbas. Ibn Isa also did
not mention the word "all (rites of hajj)." He said in his
version: All the rites of hajj except circumambulation of
the House (the Ka'bah).
In the year of al-Hudaybiyyah, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
included among his sacrificial animals a camel with a
silver nose-ring (Ibn Minhal's version has gold) which had
belonged to AbuJahl (the version of an-Nufayli added)
"thereby enraging the polytheists".
Umar ibn al-Khattab named a bukhti camel for sacrifice
(at hajj). He was offered three hundred dinars for it (as
its price). He came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and
said: Apostle of Allah, I named a bukhti camel for
sacrifice and I was offered for it three hundred dinars.
May I sell it and purchase another one for its price? No,
sacrifice it.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent
sacrificial camels with him (as offering to the Ka'bah).
He then said: If any one of them becomes fatigued,
slaughter it, dip its shoes in its blood, and leave it for
the people (to eat).
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
sacrificed the camels, he sacrificed thirty of them with
his own hand, and then commanded me (to sacrifice them),
so I sacrificed the rest of them.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The greatest day
in Allah's sight is the day of sacrifice and next the day
of resting which Isa said on the authority of Thawr is the
second day. Five or six sacrificial camels were brought to
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and they began to
draw near to see which he would sacrifice first. When they
fell down dead, he said something in a low voice, which I
could not catch. So I asked: What did he say? He was told
that he had said: Anyone who wants can cut off a piece.
I was present with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
at the Farewell Pilgrimage. When the sacrificial camels
were brought to him, he said: Call AbulHasan (Ali) to me.
Ali was then called for and he (the Prophet) said to him:
Catch hold of the lower end of the lance, and the Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) himself caught hold of the
upper end. He then pierced the camels with it. When he
finished slaughtering, he rode on his mule and mounted Ali
behind him.
Sa'id ibn Jubayr said: I said to Abdullah ibn Abbas:
AbulAbbas, I am surprised to see the difference of opinion
amongst the companions of the Apostle (peace_be_upon_him)
about the wearing of ihram by the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
when he made it obligatory.
He replied: I am aware of it more than the people. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) performed only one
hajj. Hence the people differed among themselves. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came out (from
Medina) with the intention of performing hajj. When he
offered two rak'ahs of prayer in the mosque at
Dhul-Hulayfah, he made it obligatory by wearing it.
At the same meeting, he raised his voice in the
talbiyah for hajj, when he finished his two rak'ahs. Some
people heard it and I retained it from him. He then rode
(on the she-camel), and when it (the she-camel) stood up,
with him on its back, he raised his voice in the talbiyah
and some people heard it at that moment. This is because
the people were coming in groups, so they heard him
raising his voice calling the talbiyah when his she-camel
stood up with him on its back, and they thought that the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) had raised his voice
in the talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on
its back.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) proceeded
further; when he ascended the height of al-Bayda' he
raised his voice in the talbiyah. Some people heard it at
that moment. They thought that he had raised his voice in
the talbiyah when he ascended the height of al-Bayda'. I
swear by Allah, he raised his voice in the talbiyah at the
place where he prayed, and he raised his voice in the
talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back,
and he raised his voice in the talbiyah when he ascended
the height of al-Bayda'.
Sa'id (ibn Jubayr) said; He who follows the view of Ibn
Abbas raises his voice in talbiyah (and ihram) at the
place of is prayer after he finishes two rak'ahs of his
prayer.
Ubayd ibn Jurayj said to Abdullah ibn Umar:
AbuAbdurRahman, I saw you doing things which I did not see
being done by your companions.
He asked: What are they, Ibn Jurayj? He replied: I saw
you touching only the two Yamani corners; and I saw you
wearing shoes having no hair; I saw you dyeing in yellow
colour; and I saw you wearing ihram on the eighth of
Dhul-Hijjah, whereas the people had worn ihram when they
sighted the moon.
Abdullah ibn Umar replied: As regards the corners, I
have not seen the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
touching anything (in the Ka'bah) but the two Yamani
corners. As for the tanned leather shoes, I have seen the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) wearing tanned
leather shoes, and he would wear them after ablution.
Therefore I like to wear them. As regards wearing yellow,
I have seen the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
wearing yellow, so I like to wear with it. As regards
shouting the talbiyah, I have seen the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
raising his voice in talbiyah when his she-camel stood up
with him on its back.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) offered the noon
prayer, and then rode on his mount. When he came to the
hill of al-Bayda', he raised his voice in talbiyah.
When the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him0 undertook
his journey by the way of al-Far', he shouted talbiyah
when his mount stood up with him on its back. But when he
travelled by the way of Uhud, he raised his voice in
Talbiyah when he ascended the hill of al-Bayda'.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) raised his voice in
talbiyah for hajj. When he came (to Mecca) he went round
the House (the Ka'bah) and ran between as-Safa and al-Marwah.
The narrator Ibn Shawkar said: He did not clip his hair,
nor did he take off his ihram due to sacrificial animals.
But he commanded those who did not bring sacrificial
animals with them to go round the Ka'bah, to run between
as-Safa and al-Marwah, to clip their hair, and then put
off their ihram. The narrator Ibn Mani' added: Or shave
their heads, then take off their ihram."
A man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with
him). He bore witness before him that when he (the
Prophet) was suffering from a disease of which he died he
heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) prohibiting
performing of umrah before hajj.
Mu'awiyah said to the Companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him):
Do you know that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
prohibited from doing so and so (and he prohibited from)
riding on the skins of leopards? They said: Yes.
He again said: You know that he prohibited combining
hajj and umrah. They replied: This we do not (know). He
said: This was prohibited along with other things, but you
forgot.
I was with Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) appointed him to be
the governor of the Yemen. I collected some ounces of gold
during my stay with him.
When Ali returned from the Yemen to the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) he said: I found that Fatimah
had put on coloured clothes and the smell of the perfume
she had used was pervading the house. (He expressed his
amazement at the use of coloured clothes and perfume.)
She said: What is wrong with you? The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) has ordered his companions to put off
their ihram and they did so.
Ali said: I said to her: I raised my voice in talbiyah
for which the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) raised his voice
(i.e. I wore ihram for qiran). Then I came to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him).
He asked (me): How did you do? I replied: I raised my
voice in talbiyah, for which the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
raised his voice. He said: I have brought the sacrificial
animals with me and combined umrah and hajj. He said to
me: Sacrifice sixty-seven or sixty-six camels (for me) and
withhold for yourself thirty-three or thirty-four, and
withhold a piece (of flesh) for me from every camel.
As-Subayy ibn Ma'bad said: I raised my voice in
talbiyah for both of them (i.e. umrah and hajj). Thereupon
Umar said: You were guided to the practice (sunnah) of
your Prophet (peace_be_upon_him).
I was a Christian Bedouin; then I embraced Islam. I
came to a man of my tribe, who was called Hudhaym ibn
Thurmulah. I said to him. O brother, I am eager to wage
war in the cause of Allah (i.e. jihad), and I find that
both hajj and umrah are due from me. How can I combine
them?
He said: Combine them and sacrifice the animal made
easily available for you. I, therefore, raised my voice in
talbiyah for both of them (i.e. umrah and hajj). When I
reached al-Udhayb, Salman ibn Rabi'ah and Zayd ibn Suhan
met me while I was raising my voice in talbiyah for both
of them.
One of them said to the other: This (man) does not have
any more understanding than his camel. Thereupon it was as
if a mountain fell on me.
I came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased
with him) and said to him: Commander of the Faithful, I
was a Christian Bedouin, and I have embraced Islam. I am
eager to wage war in the cause of Allah (jihad), and I
found that both hajj and umrah were due from me. I came to
a man of my tribe who said to me: Combine both of them and
sacrifice the animal easily available for you. I have
raised my voice in talbiyah for both of them.
Umar thereupon said to me: You have been guided to the
practice (sunnah) of your Prophet) (peace_be_upon_him).
Ar-Rabi' ibn Saburah said on the authority of his
father (Saburah): We went out along with the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) till we reached Usfan, Suraqah
ibn Malik al-Mudlaji said to him: Apostle of Allah,
explain to us like the people as if they were born today.
He said: Allah, the Exalted, has included this umrah in
your hajj. When you come (to Mecca), and he who goes round
the House (the Ka'bah), and runs between as-Safa and
al-Marwah, is allowed to take off ihram except he who has
brought the sacrificial animals with him.
Ibn Abbas said that Mu'awiyah told him: do you not know
that I clipped the hair of the head of the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) with a broad iron arrowhead at
al-Marwah? Al-Hasan added in his version: "during his
hajj."
I asked: Apostle of Allah, is the (command of)
cancelling hajj meant exclusively for us, or for others
too? He replied: No, this is meant exclusively for you.
A man of Banu Amir said: Apostle of Allah, my father is
very old, he cannot perform hajj and umrah himself nor can
be ride on a mount. He said: Perform hajj and umrah on
behalf of your father.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) heard a man say:
Labbayk (always ready to obey) on behalf of Shubrumah. He
asked: Who is Shubrumah? He replied: A brother or relative
of mine. He asked: Have you performed hajj on your own
behalf? He said: No. He said: perform hajj on your own
behalf, then perform it on behalf of Shubrumah.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) raised his
voice in talbiyah; he then mentioned the wordings of
talbiyah like the tradition narrated by Ibn Umar. The
people used to add the words dhal-ma'arij (the Possessor
of ladders) and similar other words (to talbiyah) while
the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) heard them utter these
words, but he did not say anything to them.
Khalid ibn as-Sa'ib al-Ansari on his father's authority
reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as
saying: Gabriel came to me and commanded me to order my
Companions to raise their voices in talbiyah.
We came out for performing hajj along with the Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When we reached al-Araj, the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) alighted and we also
alighted. Aisha sat beside the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) and I sat beside my father (AbuBakr).
The equipment and personal effects of AbuBakr and of the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) were placed with
AbuBakr's slave on a camel. AbuBakr was sitting and
waiting for his arrival. He arrived but he had no camel
with him. He asked:
Where is your camel? He replied: I lost it last night.
AbuBakr said: There was only one camel, even that you have
lost. He then began to beat him while the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) was smiling and saying: Look at this
man who is in the sacred state (putting on ihram), what is
he doing?
Ibn AbuRizmah said: The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) spoke nothing except the words: Look
at this man who is in the sacred state (wearing ihram),
what is he doing? He was smiling (when he uttered these
words).
A man came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) when he
was at al-Ji'ranah. He was wearing perfume or the mark of
saffron was on him and he was wearing a tunic.
He said: Apostle of Allah, what do you command me to do
while performing my Umrah. In the meantime, Allah, the
Exalted, sent a revelation to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him).
When he (the Prophet) came to himself gradually, he
asked: Where is the man who asking about umrah? (When the
man came) he (the Prophet) said: Wash the perfume which is
on you, or he said: (Wash) the mark of saffron (the
narrator is doubtful), take off the tunic, then do in your
umrah as you do in your hajj.
We were proceeding to Mecca along with the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him). We pasted on our foreheads the
perfume known as sakk at the time of wearing ihram. When
one of us perspired, it (the perfume) came down on her
face. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) saw, but did not
forbid it.
Salim ibn Abdullah said: Abdullah ibn Umar used to do
so, that is to say, he would cut the shoes of a woman who
put on ihram; then Safiyyah, daughter of AbuUbayd,
reported to him that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)
narrated to her that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) gave licence to women in respect of
the shoes (i.e. women are not required to cut the shoes).
He, therefore, abandoned it.
Riders would pass us when we accompanied the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) while we were in the sacred
state (wearing ihram). When they came by us, one of us
would let down her outer garment from her head over her
face, and when they had passed on, we would uncover our
faces.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) had himself
cupped in his head when he was in the sacred state
(wearing ihram due to a disease from which he was
suffering.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) had himself
cupped on the surface of his foot because of a pain in it
while he was in the sacred state (wearing ihram).
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was asked which of the
creatures a pilgrim in sacred state could kill. He
replied: The snake, the scorpion, the rat; he should drive
away the pied crow, but should not kill it; the biting
dog, the kite, and any wild animal which attacks (man).
Abdullah ibn al-Harith reported on the authority of his
father al-Harith: (My father) al-Harith was the governor
of at-Ta'if under the caliph Uthman. He prepared food for
Uthman which contained birds and the flesh of wild ass. He
sent it to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). When the
Messenger came to him he was beating leaves for camels and
shaking them off with his hand. He said to him: Eat it. He
replied: Give it to the people who are not in sacred
state; we are wearing ihram. I adjure the people of Ashja'
who are present here. Do you know that a man presented a
wild ass to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) while
he was in ihram? But he refused to eat from it. They said:
Yes.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say:
The game of the land is lawful for you (when you are
wearing ihram) as long as you do not hunt it or have it
hunted on your behalf.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came upon him
(during their stay) at al-Hudaybiyyah. He then narrated
the rest of the tradition. This version adds: "He asked:
Do you have a sacrificial animal? He replied: No. He then
said: Fast three days or give three sa's of dates to six
poor people, giving one sa' to every two persons."
A man from the Ansar said on the authority of Ka'b ibn
Ujrah that he was feeling pain in his head (due to lice);
so he shaved his head. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
ordered him to sacrifice a cow as offering.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone breaks
(a leg) or becomes lame or falls ill. He then narrated the
tradition to the same effect. The narrator Salamah ibn
Shabib said: Ma'mar narrated (this tradition) to us.
Maymun ibn Mahran said: I came out to perform umrah in
the year when the people of Syria besieged Ibn az-Zubayr
at Mecca. Some people of my tribe sent sacrificial animals
with me as an offering. When we reached the people of
Syria, they stopped us from entering the sacred territory.
I, therefore, sacrificed the animals at the same spot. I
then took off ihram and returned.
Next year I came out to make an atonement for my umrah.
I came to Ibn Abbas and asked him (about it). He said:
Bring a new sacrificial animal, for the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) ordered his companions to bring fresh
sacrificial animals for the umrah of atonement in lieu of
the animals they had sacrificed in the year of
al-Hudaybiyyah.
was asked about a man who looks at the House (the
Ka'bah) and raises his hands (for prayer). He replied: I
did not find anyone doing this except the Jews. We
performed hajj along with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), but he did not do so.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came an
entered Mecca, and after the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) had gone forward to the Stone, and
touched it, he went round the House (the Ka'bah). He then
went to as-Safa and mounted it so that he could look at
the House. Then he raised his hands began to make mention
of Allah as much as he wished and make supplication. The
narrator said: The Ansar were beneath him. The narrator
Hashim said: He prayed and praised Allah and asked Him for
what he wished to ask.
Ibn Umar was informed about the statement of Aisha that
a part of al-Hijr is included in the magnitude of the
Ka'bah. Ibn Umar said: By Allah, I think that she must
have heard it from the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him). I think that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) had not given up touching both of them
but for the reason that they were not on the foundation of
the House (the Ka'bah), nor did the people circumambulate
(the House) beyond al-Hijr for this reason.
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) had some
rest at Mecca in the year of its Conquest, he performed
circumambulation on a camel and touched the corner (black
Stone) with a crooked stick in his hand. She said: I was
looking at him.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) went round the
House (the Ka'bah) wearing a green Yamani mantle under his
right armpit with the end over his left shoulder.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and his
Companions performed umrah from al-Ji'ranah. They went
quickly round the House (the Ka'bah) moving their
shoulders) proudly. They put their upper garments under
their armpits and threw the ends over their left
shoulders.
Aslam said: I heard Umar ibn al-Khattab say: What is
the need of walking proudly (ramal) and moving the
shoulders (while going round the Ka'bah)? Allah has now
strengthened Islam and obliterated disbelief and the
infidels. In spite of that we shall not forsake anything
that we used to do during the time of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him).
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Going
round the House (the Ka'bah), running between as-Safa and
lapidation of the pillars are meant for the remembrance of
Allah.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) wore the mantle under
his right armpit with the end over his left shoulder, and
touched the corner (Black Stone), then uttered "Allah is
most great" and walked proudly in three circuits of
circumambulation. When they (the Companions) reached the
Yamani corner, and disappeared from the eyes of the
Quraysh, they walked as usual; When they appeared before
them, they walked proudly with rapid strides. Thereupon
the Quraysh said: They look to be the deer (that are
jumping). Ibn Abbas said: Hence this became the sunnah
(model behaviour of the Prophet).
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and his
Companions performed umrah from al-Ji'ranah and walked
proudly with rapid strides round the House (the Ka'bah) in
three circuits and walked as usual in four circuits.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say
between the two corners: O Allah, bring us a blessing in
this world and a blessing in the next and guard us from
punishment of Hell.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Do not prevent
anyone from going round this House (the Ka'bah) and from
praying any moment he desires by day or by night. The
narrator Fadl (ibn Ya'qub) said: The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Banu Abdu Munaf, do not stop
anyone.
The Companions of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) who accompanied him did not go round
the Ka'bah till they threw pebbles at the Jamrah (pillar
at Mina).
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) conquered
Mecca, I said (to myself): I shall put on my clothes, and
my house lay on the way, I shall watch how the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) behaves. So I went out. I saw
that the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and his Companions
had come out from the Ka'bah and embraced the House (the
Ka'bah) from its entrance (al-Bab) to al-Hatim. They
placed their cheek on the House (the Ka'bah) while the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was amongst them.
Shu'ayb ibn Abdullah said: I went round the Ka'bah
along with Abdullah ibn Amr. When we came behind the
Ka'bah I asked: Do you not seek refuge? He uttered the
words: I seek refuge in Allah from the Hell-fire. He then
went (farther) and touched the Black Stone, and stood
between the corner (Black Stone) and the entrance of the
Ka'bah. He then placed his breast, his face, his hands and
his palms in this manner, and he spread them, and said: I
saw the apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) doing like
this.
Abdullah ibn as-Sa'ib reported on the authority of his
father as-Sa'ib that he used to lead Ibn Abbas (when he
become blind) and make him stand in the third corner that
was adjacent to the corner (Black Stone) near the entrance
of the Ka'bah. Ibn Abbas used to say: Has it been reported
to you that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) would
pray in this place. He would reply: Yes. He then used to
stand (there) and pray.
Kathir ibn Jamhan said: A man asked Abdullah ibn Umar
between as-Safa and al-Marwah: AbdurRahman, I see you
walking while the people are running (between as-Safa and
al-Marwah)? He replied: If I walk, I saw the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) running. I am too old.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) offered the
noon prayer on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah (Yawm at-Tarwiyah)
and dawn prayer on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah (Yawm al-Arafah)
in Mina.
When al-Hajjaj killed Ibn Zubayr, he sent a message to
Ibn Umar asking him: At which moment the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) used to proceed (to Arafat) this day?
He replied: When it happens so, we shall proceed. When Ibn
Umar intended to proceed, the people said: The sun did not
decline. He (Ibn Umar) asked: Did it decline? They
replied: It did not decline. When they said that the sun
had declined, he proceeded.
Yazid ibn Shayban said: We were in a place of
stationing at Arafat which Amr (ibn Abdullah) thought was
very far away from where the imam was stationing, when Ibn
Mirba' al-Ansari came to us and told (us): I am a
messenger for you from the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him). He tells you: Station where you are
performing your devotions for you are an heir to the
heritage of Abraham.
The Prophet then took up Usamah behind him (on the
camel), and drove the camel at a quick pace. The people
were beating their camels right and left, but he did not
pay attention to them; he was saying: O people, preserve a
quiet demeanour. He proceeded (from Arafat) when the sun
had set.
Abdullah ibn Malik said: I offered three rak'ahs of the
sunset prayer and two rak'ahs of the night prayer along
with Ibn Umar. Thereupon Malik ibn al-Harith said: What is
this prayer? He said: I offered these prayers along with
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) in this place
with a single iqamah.
When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
stood at the mountain Quzah and said: This is Quzah, and
this is a place of stationing, and the whole of
al-Muzdalifah is a place of stationing. I sacrificed the
animals here, and the whole of Mina is a place of
sacrifice. So sacrifice in your dwellings.
The Arabs in the pre-Islamic period did not return from
al-Muzdalifah till they saw sunlight at the mountain
Thabir. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) opposed them and
returned before the sunrise.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent ahead
some boys from Banu AbdulMuttalib on donkeys on the night
of al-Muzdalifah. He began to pat our thighs (out of love)
and said: O young! boys do not throw pebbles at the jamrah
till the sun rises.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) used to send
ahead the weak members of his family in darkness (to
Mina), and command them not to throw pebbles at jamrahs
until the sun rose.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) sent Umm Salamah on the
night before the day of sacrifice and she threw pebbles at
the jamrah before dawn. She hastened (to Mecca) and
performed the circumambulation. That day was the one the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) spent with her.
Ata' said: A reporter reported to me about Asma' that
she threw pebbles at the jamrah at night. I said: We threw
pebbles (at the jamrah) at night. She said: We used to do
so in the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him).
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) hastened from
al-Muzdalifah with a quite demeanour and ordered them (the
people) to throw small pebbles and he hastened in the
valley (wadi) of Muhassir.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) halted on the
day of sacrifice between the jamrahs (pillars at Mina)
during hajj which he performed. He asked: Which is this
day? They replied: This is the day of sacrifice. He said:
This is the day of greater hajj.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) gave a sermon during
his hajj and said: Time has completed a cycle and assumed
the form of the day when Allah created the heavens and the
earth. The year contains twelve months of which four are
sacred, three of them consecutive, viz. Dhul-Qa'dah,
Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram and also Rajab of Mudar which
comes between Jumadah and Sha'ban.
I came to the Holy Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) when he
was in Arafat. Some people or a group of people came from
Najd. They commanded someone (to ask the Prophet about
hajj).
So he called the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him),
saying: How is the hajj done? He (the Prophet) ordered a
man (to reply). He shouted loudly: The hajj, the hajj is
on the day of Arafah. If anyone comes over there before
the dawn prayer on the night of al-Muzdalifah, his hajj
will be complete. The period of halting at Mina is three
days. Then whoever hastens (his departure) by two days, it
is no sin for him, and whoever delays it there is no sin
for him.
The narrator said: He (the Prophet) then put a man
behind him on the camel. He began to proclaim this loudly.
I came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) at
the place of halting, that is, al-Muzdalifah. I said: I
have come from the mountains of Tayy. I fatigued my mount
and fatigued myself. By Allah, I found no hill (on my way)
but I halted there. Have I completed my hajj? The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Anyone who offers this
prayer along with us and comes over to Arafat before it by
night or day will complete his hajj and he may wash away
the dirt (of his body).
Narrated A man from the Companions of the Prophet:
AbdurRahman ibn Mu'adh said that he heard a man from
the Companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) say: The
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) addressed the people at Mina
and he made them stay in their dwellings. He then said:
The Muhajirun (Emigrants) should stay here, and he made a
sign to the right side of the qiblah, and the Ansar (the
Helpers) here, and he made a sign to the left side of the
qiblah; the people should stay around them.
Ibn AbuNajih reported from his father on the authority
of two men from Banu Bakr who said: We saw the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) addressing (the people) in the
middle of the tashriq days when we were staying near his
mount. This is the address of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) which he gave at Mina.
She was mistress of a temple in pre-Islamic days. She
said: The prophet (peace_be_upon_him) addressed us on the
second day of sacrifice (yawm ar-ru'us) and said: Which is
this day? We said: Allah and His Apostle are better aware.
He said: Is this not the middle of the tashriq days?
I saw the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
addressing the people at Mina (on the day of sacrifice)
when the sun rose high (i.e. in the forenoon) on a white
mule, and Ali (Allah be pleased with him) was interpreting
on his behalf; some people were standing and some sitting.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) addressed us
when we were at Mina. Our ears were open and we were
listening to what he was saying, while we were in our
dwellings. He began to teach them the rites of hajj till
he reached the injunction of throwing pebbles at the
Jamrahs (pillars at Mina). He put his forefingers in his
ears and said: (Throw small pebbles. He then commanded the
Emigrants (Muhajirun) to station themselves. They
stationed themselves before the mosque. He then commanded
the Helpers (Ansar) to encamp. They encamped behind the
mosque. Thereafter the people encamped.
Ibn Jurayj asked Ibn Umar: We sell the property of the
people; so one of us goes to Mecca and passes the night
there with the property (during the stay at Mina). He
said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) used to
pass night and day at Mina.
Uthman offered complete prayer at Mina for the sake of
bedouins who attended (hajj) in large numbers that year.
He led the people four rak'ahs in prayer in order to teach
them that the prayer (i.e. noon or afternoon prayer)
essentially contained four rak'ahs.
I prayed along with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) at Mina and the people gathered there
in large numbers. He led us two rak'ahs in prayer in the
Farewell Pilgrimage.
I saw the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) near the
Jamrat al-Aqabah (the third or last pillar) riding (on a
camel) and I saw a pebble between his fingers. He threw
the pebbles and the people also threw (stones at the
Jamrah).
Nafi' reported on the authority of Ibn Umar. He (ibn
Umar) used to come (to Mina) and threw pebbles three days
after the day of sacrifice walking when arriving and
returning (both ways). He reported that the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) used to do so.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) gave
permission to the herdsmen of the camels not to pass night
at Mina and asked them to throw pebbles on the day of
sacrifice, and to throw pebbles at the jamrahs the next
day and the following two days, and on the day of their
return.
AbuMijlaz said: I asked Ibn Abbas about a thing
concerning the throwing of stones at the jamrahs. He said:
I do not know whether the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) threw six or seven pebbles.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one
of you throws pebbles at the last jamrah (Jamrat
al-Aqabah), everything becomes lawful for him except women
(sexual intercourse).
By Allah, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) did
not make Aisha perform umrah during Dhul-Hijjah but to
discontinue the practice of the idolaters (in Arabia
before Islam), for this clan of Quraysh and those who
followed them used to say: When the fur of the camel
abounds, and the wounds on the back of the camels are
recovered and the month of Safar begins, umrah becomes
lawful for one who performs umrah. They considered
performing umrah unlawful till the months of Dhul-Hijjah
and al-Muharram passed away.
AbuBakr ibn AbdurRahman said: The messenger of Marwan
whom he sent to Umm Ma'qil reported to me.
She said: AbuMa'qil accompanied the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) during hajj. When he came (to her) she
said: You know that hajj is incumbent on me. They walked
until they visited him (i.e. the Prophet) and she asked
(him): Apostle of Allah, hajj is due from me, and
AbuMa'qil has a camel.
AbuMa'qil said: She spoke the truth, I have dedicated
it to the cause of Allah.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Give it
to her, that is in the cause of Allah. So he gave the
camel to her.
She then said: Apostle of Allah, I am a woman who has
become aged and ill. Is there any action which would be
sufficient for me as my hajj?
He replied: umrah performed during Ramadan is
sufficient as hajj.
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) performed
the Farewell Pilgrimage, and we had a camel, AbuMa'qil
dedicated it to the cause of Allah. Then we suffered from
a disease, and AbuMa'qil died. The Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) went out (for hajj). When he finished
the hajj, I came to him.
He said (to me): Umm Ma'qil, what prevented you from
coming out for hajj along with us?
She said: We resolved (to do so), but AbuMa'qil died.
We had a camel on which we could perform hajj, but
AbuMa'qil had bequeathed it to the cause of Allah.
He said: Why did you not go out (for hajj) upon it, for
hajj is in the cause of Allah? If you miss this hajj along
with us, perform umrah during Ramadan, for it is like
hajj.
She used to say: hajj is hajj, and umrah is umrah. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said it to me: I do
not know whether it was peculiar to me.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) intended to
perform hajj.
A woman said to her husband: Let me perform hajj along
with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).
He said: I have nothing on which I can let you perform
hajj. She said: You may perform hajj on your such-and-such
camel. He said: That is dedicated to the cause of Allah,
the Exalted. He then came to the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) and said: My wife has conveyed her
greetings and the blessings of Allah to you. She has asked
about performing hajj along with you. She said (to me):
Let me perform hajj with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him). I said (to her): I have nothing upon
which I can let you perform hajj. She said: Let me perform
hajj on your such-and-such camel. I said: That is
dedicated to the cause of Allah, The Exalted.
He replied: If you let her perform hajj on it, that
would be in the cause of Allah.
He said: She has also requested me to ask you: What is
that action which is equivalent to performing hajj with
you?
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Convey
my greetings, the mercy of Allah and His blessings to her
and tell her that umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to
performing hajj along with me.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) performed four
umrahs, viz. umrah al-Hudaybiyyah; the second is the one
when they (the Companions) were agreed upon performing
umrah next year; the third is umrah performed from
al-Ji'ranah; the fourth is the one which he combined with
his hajj.
Hafsah, daughter of AbdurRahman ibn AbuBakr, reported
on the authority of her father: The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) said to AbdurRahman: AbdurRahman, put
your sister Aisha on the back of the camel behind you and
make her perform umrah from at-Tan'im. When you come down
from the hillock (in at-Tan'im), she must wear (ihram for
umrah), for this is an umrah accepted (by Allah).
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) entered al-Ji'ranah. He
came to the mosque (there) and prayed as long as Allah
desired; he then wore ihram. Then he rode his camel and
faced Batn Sarif till he reached the way which leads to
Medina. He returned from Mecca (at night to al-Ji'ranah)
as if he had passed the night at Mecca.
The night which the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) passed with me was the one that
followed the day of sacrifice. He came to me and Wahb ibn
Zam'ah also visited me. A man belonging to the lineage of
AbuUmayyah accompanied him. Both of them were wearing
shirts.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said to Wahb:
Did you perform the obligatory circumambulation (Tawaf
az-Ziyarah), AbuAbdullah?
He said: No, by Allah Apostle of Allah.
He (the Prophet) said: Take off your shirt. He then
took it off over his head, and his companion too took his
shirt off over his head.
He then asked: And why (this), Apostle of Allah? He
replied: On this day you have been allowed to take off
ihram when you have thrown the stones at the jamrahs, that
is, everything prohibited during the state of ihram is
lawful except intercourse with a woman. If the evening
comes before you go round this House (the Ka'bah) you will
remain in the sacred state (i.e. ihram), just like the
state in which you were before you threw stones at the
jamrahs, until you perform the circumambulation of it
(i.e. the Ka'bah).
Al-Harith ibn Abdullah ibn Aws said: I came to Umar ibn
al-Khattab and asked him about a woman who has performed
the (obligatory) circumambulation on the day of sacrifice,
and then she menstruates. He said: She must perform the
last circumambulation of the House (the Ka'bah). Al-Harith
said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) told me the
same thing. Umar said: May your hands fall down! You asked
me about a thing that you had asked the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) so that I might oppose him.
I put on ihram for umrah at at-Tan'im and I entered
(Mecca) and performed my umrah as an atonement. The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) waited for me at
al-Abtah till I finished it. He commanded the people to
depart. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to
the House (the Ka'bah), went round it and went out (i.e.
left for Medina).
AbdurRahman reported on the authority of his mother:
When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) passed any
place from the house of Ya'la,--the narrator Ubaydullah
forgot its name--he faced the House (the Ka'bah) and
supplicated.
Al-Muttalib saw that the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
was praying at the place adjacent to the gate of Banu Sahm
and the people were passing before him, and there was no
covering (sutrah) between them. The narrator Sufyan said:
There was no covering between him and the Ka'bah.
I said: Apostle of Allah, should we not build a house
or a building which shades you from the sun? He replied:
No, it is a place for the one who reaches there earlier.
I liked to enter the House (the Ka'bah) and pray
therein. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) caught
me by hand and admitted me to al-Hijr. He then said: Pray
in al-Hijr when you intend to enter the House (the
Ka'bah), for it is a part of the House (the Ka'bah). Your
people shortened it when they built the Ka'bah, and they
took it out of the House.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) went out from me, while
he was happy, but he returned to me while he was sad. He
said: I entered the Ka'bah, I know beforehand about my
affair what I have come to know later I would not have
entered it. I am afraid I have put my community to
hardship.
Al-Aslamiyyah said: I said to Uthman ibn Talhah
al-Hajabi): What did the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) say to you when he called you? He
said: (The Prophet said:) I forgot to order you to cover
the two horns (of the lamb), for it is not advisable that
there should be anything in the House (the Ka'bah) which
diverts the attention of the man at prayer. Ibn as-Sarh
said: The name of my maternal uncle is Musafi' ibn
Shaybah.
When we came along with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) from Liyyah and we were beside the
lote tree, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
stopped at the end of al-Qarn al-Aswad opposite to it. He
then looked at Nakhb or at its valley. He stopped and all
the people stopped. He then said: The game of Wajj and its
thorny trees are unlawful made unlawful for Allah. This
was before he alighted at at-Ta'if and its fortress for
Thaqif.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Its (Medina's)
fresh grass is not to be cut, its game is not to be driven
away, and things dropped in it are to be picked up by one
who publicly announces it, and it is not permissible for
any man to carry weapons in it for fighting, and it is not
advisable that its trees are cut except what a man cuts
for the fodder of his camel.
Sulayman ibn AbuAbdullah said: I saw Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas
seized a man hunting in the sacred territory of Medina
which the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) had
declared to be sacred. He took away his clothes from him.
His patrons came to him and spoke to him about it, but he
replied: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) declared
this territory to be sacred, saying: If anyone catches
someone hunting in it he should take away from him his
clothes. So I shall not return to you a provision which
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has given me, but
if you wish I shall pay you its price.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The leaves should
not be beaten off and the trees should not be cut in the
protected land of the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him), but the leaves can be beaten off
softly.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Do not make your
houses graves, and do not make my grave a place of
festivity. But invoke blessings on me, for your blessings
reach me wherever you may be.
Rabi'ah ibn al-Hudayr said: I did not hear Talhah ibn
Ubaydullah narrating any tradition from the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) except one tradition. I (Rabi'ah
ibn AbuAbdurRahman) asked: What is that? He said: We went
out along with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
who was going to visit the graves of the martyrs. When we
ascended Harrah Waqim, and then descended from it, we
found there some graves at the turning of the valley. We
asked: Apostle of Allah, are these the graves of our
brethren? He replied: Graves of our companions. When we
came to the graves of martyrs, he said: These are the
graves of our brethren.
One should not exceed al-Mu'arras when one returns to
Medina until one prays there as much as one wishes, for I
have been informed that the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) halted there at night.
