Sahih Al-Bukhari: Chapter 25

Al-Fadl (his brother) was riding behind Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and a woman from the tribe of Khath'am came
and Al-Fadl started looking at her and she started looking at him. The Prophet (PbUH) turned Al-Fadl's face to
the other side. The woman said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! The obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His
devotees has become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot sit firm on the Mount;
may I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "Yes, you may." That happened during the
Hajj-al-Wida (of the Prophet (PbUH) ).

I saw that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) used to ride on his Mount at Dhul Hulaifa and used to start saying,
"Labbaik" when the Mount stood upright.

that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) started saying, "Labbaik" from Dhul-Hulaifa when his Mount stood upright
carrying him .

The Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) sent my brother, 'Abdur Rahman with me to Tan'im for the 'Umra, and he made me ride on the packsaddle (of a camel). 'Umar said, "Be ready to travel for Hajj as it (Hajj) is one of the two kind of Jihad".

Anas performed the Hajj on a packsaddle and he was not a miser. Anas said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
performed Hajj on a packsaddle and the same Mount was carrying his baggage too."

`Aisha said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! You performed `Umra but I did not." He said, "O `Abdur-Rahman!
Go along with your sister and let her perform `Umra from Tan`im." `Abdur-Rahman made her ride
over the packsaddle of a she-camel and she performed `Umra.

The Prophet (PbUH) was asked, "Which is the best deed?" He said, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle." He
was then asked, "Which is the next (in goodness)?" He said, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."
He was then asked, "Which is the next?" He said, "To perform Hajj-Mabrur. "

(the mother of the faithful believers) I said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! We consider Jihad as the best deed."
The Prophet (PbUH) said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur. "

The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) said, "Whoever performs Hajj for Allah's pleasure and does not have sexual
relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins then he will return (after Hajj free from all sins) as
if he were born anew."

I went to visit `Abdullah bin `Umar at his house which contained many tents made of cotton cloth and
these were encircled with Suradik (part of the tent). I asked him from where, should one assume Ihram
for Umra. He said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had fixed as Miqat (singular of Mawaqit) Qarn for the people of
Najd, Dhul-Hulaifa for the people of Medina, and Al-Juhfa for the people of Sham."

The people of Yemen used to come for Hajj and used not to bring enough provisions with them and
used to say that they depend on Allah. On their arrival in Medina they used to beg the people, and so
Allah revealed, "And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is the fear of
Allah." (2.197).

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) made Dhul-Huiaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina; Al-Juhfa for the
people of Sham; Qarn-al-Manazil for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen; and
these Mawaqit are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come thorough
those places with the intention of performing Hajj and `Umra; and whoever is living within these
boundaries can assume lhram from the place he starts, and the people of Mecca can assume Ihram
from Mecca.

`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, 'The people of Medina should assume lhram from
Dhul-Hulaifa; the people of Sham from Al-Juhfa; and the people of Najd from Qarn." And `Abdullah
added, "I was informed that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had said, 'The people of Yemen should assume Ihram
from Yalamlam.' "

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had fixed Dhul Hulaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina; Al-Juhfa for the people
of Sham; and Qarn Ul-Manazil for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. So,
these (above mentioned) are the Mawaqit for all those living at those places, and besides them for
those who come through those places with the intention of performing Hajj and `Umra and whoever
lives within these places should assume Ihram from his dwelling place, and similarly the people of
Mecca can assume lhram from Mecca.

"The Prophet (PbUH) had fixed the Mawaqit as follows: (No. 603)

I heard Allah's Messenger (PbUH) saying, "The Miqat for the people of Medina is Dhul-Hulaifa; for the people of
Sham is Mahita; (i.e. Al-Juhfa); and for the people of Najd is Qarn. And said Ibn `Umar, "They claim,
but I did not hear personally, that the Prophet (PbUH) said, "The Miqat for the people of Yemen is
Yalamlam."

The Prophet (PbUH) fixed Dhul-Hulaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina, Al-Juhfa, for the people of
Sham, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, and Qarn for the people of Najd. And these Mawaqit are
for those living at those very places, and besides them for those who come through those places with
the intention of performing Hajj and Umra; and whoever is living inside these places can assume
lhram from his own dwelling place, and the people of Mecca can assume lhram from Mecca.

The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) fixed Dhul-Hulaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina, Al-Juhfa for the
people of Sham, Qarn-al-Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen; and
these Mawaqit are for those living at those very places, and besides them for those whom come
through them with the intention of performing Hajj and Umra; and whoever is living within these
Mawaqit should assume lhram from where he starts, and the people of Mecca can assume Ihram from
Mecca.

When these two towns (Basra and Kufa) were captured, the people went to `Umar and said, "O the
Chief of the faithful believers! The Prophet (PbUH) fixed Qarn as the Miqat for the people of Najd, it is
beyond our way and it is difficult for us to pass through it." He said, "Take as your Miqat a place
situated opposite to Qarn on your usual way. So, he fixed Dhatu-Irq (as their Miqat)."

`Abdullah bin `Umar' said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) made his camel sit (i.e. he dismounted) at Al-Batha' in
Dhul-Hulaifa and offered the prayer." `Abdullah bin `Umar used to do the same.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) used to go (for Hajj) via Ash-Shajara way and return via Muarras way; and no doubt,
whenever Allah's Messenger (PbUH) went to Mecca, he used to offer the prayer in the Mosque of Ash-Shajara;
and on his return, he used to offer the prayer at Dhul-Hulaifa in the middle of the valley, and pass the
night there till morning.

In the valley of Al-`Aqiq I heard Allah's Messenger (PbUH) saying, "To night a messenger came to me from my
Lord and asked me to pray in this blessed valley and to assume Ihram for Hajj and `Umra together. "

Salim bin `Abdullah's father said, "The Prophet (PbUH) said that while resting in the bottom of the valley at
Muarras in Dhul-Hulaifa, he had been addressed in a dream: 'You are verily in a blessed valley.' "
Salim made us to dismount from our camels at the place where `Abdullah used to dismount, aiming at
the place where Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had rested and it was below the Mosque situated in the middle of the
valley in between them (the residence) and the road.

Ya'la said to 'Umar, "Show me the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) when he is being inspired Divinely." While the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) was at Ji'rana (in the company of some of his Companions) a person came and asked, "O Allah's Messenger! What is your verdict regarding that person who assumes Ihram for 'Umra and is scented with perfume ?" The Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) kept quiet for a while and he was Divinely inspired (then). 'Umar beckoned Ya'la. So he came, and the Allah's Messenger (PbUH) was shaded with sheet. Ya'la put his head in and saw that the face of Allah's Messenger was red and he was snoring. When the state of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) was over, he (PbUH) asked, "Where is the person who asked about 'Umra?" Then that person was brought and the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) said, "Wash the perfume off your body thrice and take off the cloak and do the same in 'Umra as you do in Hajj."

Ibn `Umar used to oil his hair. I told that to Ibrahim who said, "What do you think about this
statement: Narrated Aswad from `Aisha: As if I were now observing the glitter of the scent in the
parting of the hair of the Prophet (PbUH) while he was Muhrim?"

(the wife of the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) I used to scent Allah's Messenger (PbUH) when he wanted to assume Ihram
and also on finishing Ihram before the Tawaf round the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-ifada).

I heard that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) assumed Ihram with his hair matted together.

I heard my father saying, "Never did Allah's Messenger (PbUH) assume Ihram except at the Mosque, that is, at
the Mosque of Dhul-Hulaifa.

A man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! What kind of clothes should a Muhrim wear?" Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
replied, "He should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, a headcloak or leather socks except if he can
find no slippers, he then may wear leather socks after cutting off what might cover the ankles. And he
should not wear clothes which are scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of Perfumes) . "

Ibn `Abbas' said, "Usama rode behind Allah's Messenger (PbUH) from `Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then Al-Fadl
rode behind Allah's Messenger (PbUH) from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina." Ibn `Abbas added, "Both of them said, 'The
Prophet kept on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba.' "

The Prophet (PbUH) with his companions started from Medina after combing and oiling his hair and putting
on two sheets of lhram (upper body cover and waist cover). He did not forbid anyone to wear any kind
of sheets except the ones colored with saffron because they may leave the scent on the skin. And so in
the early morning, the Prophet (PbUH) mounted his Mount while in Dhul-Hulaifa and set out till they reached
Baida', where he and his companions recited Talbiya, and then they did the ceremony of Taqlid
(which means to put the colored garlands around the necks of the Budn (camels for sacrifice). And all
that happened on the 25th of Dhul-Qa'da. And when he reached Mecca on the 4th of Dhul-Hijja he
performed the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and performed the Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. And as he
had a Badana and had garlanded it, he did not finish his Ihram. He proceeded towards the highest
places of Mecca near Al-Hujun and he was assuming the Ihram for Hajj and did not go near the Ka`ba
after he performed Tawaf (round it) till he returned from `Arafat. Then he ordered his companions to
perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and then the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, and to cut short the hair
of their heads and to finish their Ihram. And that was only for those people who had not garlanded
Budn. Those who had their wives with them were permitted to contact them (have sexual intercourse),
and similarly perfume and (ordinary) clothes were permissible for them.

The Prophet (PbUH) offered four rak`at in Medina and then two rak`at at Dhul Hulaifa and then passed the
night at Dhul-Hulaifa till it was morning and when he mounted his Mount and it stood up, he started
to recite Talbiya.

Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet (PbUH) offered four rak`at of the Zuhr prayer in Medina and two rak`at of
`Asr prayer at Dhul-Hulaifa." I think that the Prophet (PbUH) passed the night there till morning.

The Prophet (PbUH) offered four rak`at of the Zuhr prayer in Medina and two rak`at of the `Asr prayer in
Dhul-Hulaifa and I heard them (the companions of the Prophet) reciting Talbiya together loudly to the
extent of shouting.

The Talbiya of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) was : 'Labbaika Allahumma labbaik, Labbaika la sharika Laka labbaik,
Inna-l-hamda wan-ni'mata Laka walmulk, La sharika Laka' (I respond to Your call O Allah, I respond
to Your call, and I am obedient to Your orders, You have no partner, I respond to Your call All the
praises and blessings are for You, All the sovereignty is for You, And You have no partners with you.

I know how the Prophet (PbUH) used to say (Talbiya) and it was: 'Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik, Labbaika la
sharika Laka labbaik, Inna-l-hamda wan-ni'mata Laka walmu Lk, La sharika Laka'.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) offered four rak`at of Zuhr prayer at Medina and we were in his company, and two
rak`at of the `Asr prayer at Dhul-Hulaifa and then passed the night there till it was dawn; then he rode,
and when he reached Al-Baida', he praised and glorified Allah and said Takbir (i.e. Al hamdu-li l-lah
and Subhanallah(1) and Allahu-Akbar). Then he and the people along with him recited Talbiya with
the intention of performing Hajj and Umra. When we reached (Mecca) he ordered us to finish the
lhram (after performing the Umra) (only those who had no Hadi (animal for sacrifice) with them were
asked to do so) till the day of Tarwiya that is 8th Dhul-Hijja when they assumed Ihram for Hajj. The
Prophet sacrificed many camels (slaughtering them) with his own hands while standing. While Allah's
Apostle was in Medina he sacrificed two horned rams black and white in color in the Name of Allah."

The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) recited Talbiya when he had mounted his Mount and was ready to set out.

Narrated Nafi', 'Whenever Ibn 'Umar finished his morning Salat at Dhul-Hulaifa he would get his Rahila (mount) prepared. Then, he would ride on it, and after it had stood up straight (ready to set out), he would face Al-Qiblah (the Ka,bah at Makkah) while sitting (on his mount) and recite Talbiya. When he had reached the boundaries of the Haram (or Makkah), he would stop recitation of Talbiya till he reached Dhi-Tuwa (near Makkah) where he would pass the night till it was dawn. After offering the morning Salat, he would take a bath. He claimed that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had done the same.

Whenever Ibn `Umar intended to go to Mecca he used to oil himself with a sort of oil that had no
pleasant smell, then he would go to the Mosque of Al-Hulaita and offer the prayer, and then ride.
When he mounted well on his Mount and the Mount stood up straight, he would proclaim the
intention of assuming Ihram, and he used to say that he had seen the Prophet (PbUH) doing the same.

I was in the company of Ibn `Abbas and the people talked about Ad-Dajjal and said, "Ad-Dajjal will
come with the word Kafir (non-believer) written in between his eyes." On that Ibn `Abbas said, "I
have not heard this from the Prophet (PbUH) but I heard him saying, 'As if I saw Moses just now entering the
valley reciting Talbyia. ' "

(the wife of the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) We set out with the Prophet (PbUH) in his last Hajj and we assumed Ihram
for Umra. The Prophet (PbUH) then said, "Whoever has the Hadi with him should assume Ihram for Hajj
along with `Umra and should not finish the Ihram till he finishes both." I was menstruating when I
reached Mecca, and so I neither did Tawaf round the Ka`ba nor Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. I
complained about that to the Prophet (PbUH) on which he replied, "Undo and comb your head hair, and
assume Ihram for Hajj (only) and leave the Umra." So, I did so. When we had performed the Hajj, the
Prophet sent me with my brother `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to Tan`im. So I performed the `Umra.
The Prophet (PbUH) said to me, "This `Umra is instead of your missed one." Those who had assumed Ihram
for `Umra (Hajj-atTamattu) performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and then
finished their Ihram. After returning from Mina, they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and
Marwa). Those who had assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra together (Hajj-al-Qiran) performed only
one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa).

Jabir said, "The Prophet (PbUH) ordered `Ali to keep on assuming his Ihram." The narrator then informed
about the narration of Suraqa.

`Ali came to the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) from Yemen (to Mecca). The Prophet (PbUH) asked `Ali, "With what
intention have you assumed Ihram?" `Ali replied, "I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as
that of the Prophet." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "If I had not the Hadi with me I would have finished the
Ihram." Muhammad bin Bakr narrated extra from Ibn Juraij, "The Prophet (PbUH) said to `Ali, "With what
intention have you assumed the Ihram, O `Ali?" He replied, "With the same (intention) as that of the
Prophet." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Have a Hadi and keep your Ihram as it is."

The Prophet (PbUH) sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found him at Al-Batha. He
asked me, "With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umra or for both?") I
replied, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet." He asked, "Have you a
Hadi with you?" I replied in the negative. He ordered me to perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa and then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe
who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when `Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, "If
we follow Allah's Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as Allah says: "Perform the Hajj and
Umra for Allah." (2.196). And if we follow the tradition of the Prophet (PbUH) who did not finish his Ihram
till he sacrificed his Hadi."

' Aisha said, "We set out with Allah's Messenger (PbUH)s in the months of Hajj, and (in) the nights of Hajj, and
at the time and places of Hajj and in a state of Hajj. We dismounted at Sarif (a village six miles from
Mecca). The Prophet (PbUH) then addressed his companions and said, "Anyone who has not got the Hadi and
likes to do Umra instead of Hajj may do so (i.e. Hajj-al-Tamattu`) and anyone who has got the Hadi
should not finish the Ihram after performing ' `Umra). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). Aisha added, "The
companions of the Prophet (PbUH) obeyed the above (order) and some of them (i.e. who did not have Hadi)
finished their Ihram after Umra." Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and some of his companions were resourceful and
had the Hadi with them, they could not perform Umra (alone) (but had to perform both Hajj and Umra
with one Ihram). Aisha added, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) came to me and saw me weeping and said, "What
makes you weep, O Hantah?" I replied, "I have heard your conversation with your companions and I
cannot perform the Umra." He asked, "What is wrong with you?' I replied, ' I do not offer the prayers
(i.e. I have my menses).' He said, ' It will not harm you for you are one of the daughters of Adam, and
Allah has written for you (this state) as He has written it for them. Keep on with your intentions for
Hajj and Allah may reward you that." Aisha further added, "Then we proceeded for Hajj till we
reached Mina and I became clean from my menses.
Then I went out from Mina and performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba." Aisha added, "I went along with
the Prophet (PbUH) in his final departure (from Hajj) till he dismounted at Al-Muhassab (a valley outside
Mecca), and we too, dismounted with him." He called ' `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr and said to
him, ' Take your sister outside the sanctuary of Mecca and let her assume Ihram for ' `Umra, and when
you had finished ' `Umra, return to this place and I will wait for you both till you both return to me.' " '
Aisha added, " So we went out of the sanctuary of Mecca and after finishing from the ' `Umra and the
Tawaf we returned to the Prophet (PbUH) at dawn. He said, 'Have you performed the ' `Umra?' We replied in
the affirmative. So he announced the departure amongst his companions and the people set out for the
journey, and the Prophet: too left for Medina.''

' Aisha said, We went out with the Prophet (PbUH) (from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj only
and when we reached Mecca we performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and then the Prophet (PbUH) ordered those
who had not driven the Hadi along with them to finish their Ihram. So the people who had not driven
the Hadi along with them finished their Ihram. The Prophet's wives, too, had not driven the Hadi with
them, so they too, finished their Ihram." `Aisha added, "I got my menses and could not perform Tawaf
round the Ka`ba." So when it was the night of Hasba (i.e. when we stopped at Al-Muhassab), I said,
'O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! Everyone is returning after performing Hajj and `Umra but I am returning after
performing Hajj only.' He said, 'Didn't you perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba the night we reached
Mecca?' I replied in the negative. He said, 'Go with your brother to Tan`im and assume the Ihram for
`Umra, (and after performing it) come back to such and such a place.' On that Safiya said, 'I feel that I
will detain you all.' The Prophet (PbUH) said, 'O 'Aqra Halqa! Didn't you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba on the
day of sacrifice? (i.e. Tawaf-al-ifada) Safiya replied in the affirmative. He said, (to Safiya). 'There is
no harm for you to proceed on with us.' " `Aisha added, "(after returning from `Umra), the Prophet (PbUH)
met me while he was ascending (from Mecca) and I was descending to it, or I was ascending and he
was descending."

We set out with Allah's Messenger (PbUH)s (to Mecca) in the year of the Prophet's Last Hajj. Some of us had
assumed Ihram for `Umra only, some for both Hajj and `Umra, and others for Hajj only. Allah's
Apostle assumed Ihram for Hajj. So whoever had assumed Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and `Umra
did not finish the Ihram till the day of sacrifice. (See Hadith No. 631, 636, and 639).

I saw `Uthman and `Ali. `Uthman used to forbid people to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and Hajj-al-
Qiran (Hajj and `Umra together), and when `Ali saw (this act of `Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj
and `Umra together saying, "Lubbaik for `Umra and Hajj," and said, "I will not leave the tradition of
the Prophet (PbUH) on the saying of somebody."

The people (of the Pre-Islamic Period) used to think that to perform `Umra during the months of Hajj
was one of the major sins on earth. And also used to consider the month of Safar as a forbidden (i.e.
sacred) month and they used to say, "When the wounds of the camel's back heal up (after they return
from Hajj) and the signs of those wounds vanish and the month of Safar passes away then (at that
time) `Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it." In the morning of the 4th of Dhul-
Hijja, the Prophet (PbUH) and his companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he ordered his
companions to make their intentions of the Ihram for `Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they considered
his order as something great and were puzzled, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! What kind (of finishing)
of Ihram is allowed?" The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "Finish the Ihram completely like a non-Muhrim (you are
allowed everything)."

came to the Prophet (PbUH) (from Yemen and was assuming Ihram for Hajj) and he ordered me to finish the
Ihram (after performing the `Umra).

Hafsa the wife of the Prophet (PbUH) said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! Why have the people finished their Ihram after
performing `Umra but you have not finished your Ihram after performing `Umra?" He replied, "I have
matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I have slaughtered (my
Hadi). "

Abu Jamra Nasr bin `Imran Ad-Duba'i said, "I intended to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and the people
advised me not to do so. I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to perform Hajj-at-
Tammatu'. Later I saw in a dream someone saying to me, 'Hajj-Mabrur (Hajj performed in accordance
with the Prophet's tradition without committing sins and accepted by Allah) and an accepted `Umra.'
So I told that dream to Ibn `Abbas. He said, 'This is the tradition of Abul-Qasim.' Then he said to me,
'Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of my property.' " I (Shu`ba) asked, "Why (did he invite
you)?" He (Abu Jamra) said, "Because of the dream which I had seen."

I left for Mecca for Hajj-at-Tamattu` assuming Ihram for `Umra. I reached Mecca three days before
the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja). Some people of Mecca said to me, "Your Hajj will be like the
Hajj performed by the people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of assuming Ihram from the
Miqat). So I went to `Ata' asking him his view about it. He said, "Jabir bin `Abdullah narrated to me, 'I
performed Hajj with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) on the day when he drove camels with him. The people had
assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet (PbUH) ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf round the
Ka`ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Mecca) as
non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume Ihram for Hajj
and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for `Umra only. They asked,
'How can we make it `Umra (Tamattu`) as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet (PbUH) said, 'Do
what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done the same, but I
cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).' So, they did (what he
ordered them to do)."

`Ali and `Uthman differed regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu` while they were at 'Usfan (a familiar place near
Mecca). `Ali said, "I see you want to forbid people to do a thing that the Prophet (PbUH) did?" When `Ali saw
that, he assumed Ihram for both Hajj and `Umra.

We came with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (to Mecca) and we were saying: 'Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik' for
Hajj. Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ordered us to perform `Umra with that Ihram (instead of Hajj).

We performed Hajj-at-Tamattu` in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and then the Qur'an was revealed
(regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu`) and somebody said what he wished (regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu`)
according his own opinion.

"... He must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should observer Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home)…." (V. 2:196).

And the sacrifice of the sheep is sufficient. So, the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) and his Companions honied the two religious deeds, (i.e. Hajj and 'Umra) in one year, for Allah revealed (the permissibility) of such practice in His book and in the Sunna (legal ways) of His Prophet (PbUH) and rendered it permissible for all the people except those living in Makkah. Allah says: "This is for him whose family is not present at the Al-Masjid-Al-Haram, (i.e. non resident of Makkah)." The months of Hajj which Allah mentioned in His book are: Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'da and Dhul-Hijjah. Whoever performed Hajj-at-Tamattu' in those months, then slaughtering or fasting is compulsory for him.

The words: 1. Ar-Rafatha means sexual intercourse. 2. Al-Fasuq means all kinds of sin, and 3. Al-Jidal means to dispute.

On reaching the sanctuary of Mecca, Ibn `Umar used to stop, reciting Talbiya and then he would pass
the night at Dhi-Tuwa and then offer the Fajr prayer and take a bath. He used to say that the Prophet (PbUH)
used to do the same.

' Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet (PbUH) passed the night at Dhi-Tuwa till it was dawn and then he entered
Mecca." Ibn `Umar used to do the same.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) used to enter Mecca from the high Thaniya and used to leave Mecca from the low
Thaniya.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) entered Mecca from Kada' from the highest Thaniya which is at Al-Batha' and used to
leave Mecca from the low Thaniya.

When the Prophet (PbUH) came to Mecca he entered from its higher side and left from its lower side.

In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (PbUH) entered Mecca from Kada' and left Mecca from
Kuda, from the higher part of Mecca.

In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (PbUH) entered Mecca from Kada' at the higher place of
Mecca. (Hisham, a sub-narrator said, " `Urwa used to enter (Mecca) from both Kada' and Kuda and he
often entered through Kada' which was nearer to his dwelling place.)"

`Urwa said, "The Prophet (PbUH) entered Mecca in the year of the conquest of Mecca from the side of Kada'
which is at the higher part of Mecca." `Urwa often entered from Kada' which was nearer of the two to
his dwelling place.

In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (PbUH) entered Mecca from the side of Kada. `Urwa used to
enter through both places and he often entered through Kada' which was nearer of the two to his
dwelling place.

When the Ka`ba was built, the Prophet (PbUH) and `Abbas went to bring stones (for its construction). Al
`Abbas said to the Prophet, "Take off your waist sheet and put it on your neck." (When the Prophet (PbUH)
took it off) he fell on the ground with his eyes open towards the sky and said, "Give me my waist
sheet." And he covered himself with it.

(the wife of the Prophet) that Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said to her, "Do you know that when your people
(Quraish) rebuilt the Ka`ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by Abraham?" I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! Why don't you rebuild it on its original foundation laid by Abraham?" He replied,
"Were it not for the fact that your people are close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they
have recently become Muslims) I would have done so." The sub-narrator, `Abdullah (bin `Umar )
stated: `Aisha 'must have heard this from Allah's Messenger (PbUH) for in my opinion Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had not
placed his hand over the two corners of the Ka`ba opposite Al-Hijr only because the Ka`ba was not
rebuilt on its original foundations laid by Abraham.

I asked the Prophet (PbUH) whether the round wall (near Ka`ba) was part of the Ka`ba. The Prophet (PbUH) replied in
the affirmative. I further said, "What is wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building
of the Ka`ba?" He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they could
not include it inside the building of Ka`ba)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?" He
replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and prevent whomever they
liked. Were your people not close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently
embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included the
(area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka`ba and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the
ground."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said to me, "Were your people not close to the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, I
would have demolished the Ka`ba and would have rebuilt it on its original foundations laid by
Abraham (for Quraish had curtailed its building), and I would have built a back door (too)."

`Aisha said that the Prophet (PbUH) said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."

On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca, Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary.
Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be
picked up except by one who would announce it publicly."

I asked, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?"
He replied, "Has `Aqil left any property or house?" `Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property
of Abu Talib. Jafar and `Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were
non-believers. `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from an)
infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, "They (`Umar and others) derived the above verdict from
Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property
in Allah's Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These
are (all) allies to one another." (8.72)

When Allah's Messenger (PbUH) intended to enter Mecca he said, "Our destination tomorrow, if Allah wished,
will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the pagans) had taken the oath of Kufr." (Against the Prophet (PbUH) i.e. to
be loyal to heathenism by boycotting Bani Hashim, the Prophets folk) (See Hadith No. 221 Vol. 5)

On the Day of Nahr at Mina, the Prophet (PbUH) said, "Tomorrow we shall stay at Khaif Bani Kinana where
the pagans had taken the oath of Kufr (heathenism)." He meant (by that place) Al-Muhassab where the
Quraish tribe and Bani Kinana concluded a contract against Bani Hashim and Bani `Abdul-Muttalib or
Bani Al-Muttalib that they would not intermarry with them or deal with them in business until they
handed over the Prophet (PbUH) to them.

The Prophet;; said, "Dhus-Suwaiqa-tain (literally: One with two lean legs) from Ethiopia will
demolish the Ka`ba."

The people used to fast on 'Ashura (the tenth day of the month of Muharram) before the fasting of
Ramadan was made obligatory. And on that day the Ka`ba used to be covered with a cover. When
Allah made the fasting of the month of Ramadan compulsory, Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "Whoever wishes
to fast (on the day of 'Ashura') may do so; and whoever wishes to leave it can do so."

The Prophet (PbUH) said "The people will continue performing the Hajj and `Umra to the Ka`ba even after the
appearance of Gog and Magog."
Narrated Shu`ba extra:
The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till the Hajj (to the Ka`ba) is abandoned.

(One day) I sat along with Shaiba on the chair inside the Ka`ba. He (Shaiba) said, "No doubt, `Umar
sat at this place and said, 'I intended not to leave any yellow (i.e. gold) or white (i.e. silver) (inside the
Ka`ba) undistributed.' I said (to `Umar), 'But your two companions (i.e. The Prophet (PbUH) and Abu Bakr)
did not do so.' `Umar said, They are the two persons whom I always follow.' "

The Prophet (PbUH) said, "As if I were looking at him, a black person with thin legs plucking the stones of the
Ka`ba one after another. "

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "Dhus-Suwaiqatain (the thin legged man) from Ethiopia will demolish the
Ka`ba."

`Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and
can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah's Messenger (PbUH) kissing you I would not
have kissed you."

"Allah's Messenger (PbUH), Usama bin Zaid, Bilal, and `Uthman bin abu Talha entered the Ka`ba and then
closed its door. When they opened the door I was the first person to enter (the Ka`ba). I met Bilal and
asked him, "Did Allah's Messenger (PbUH) offer a prayer inside (the Ka`ba)?" Bilal replied in the affirmative and
said, "(The Prophet (PbUH) offered the prayer) in between the two right pillars."

Whenever Ibn `Umar entered the Ka`ba he used to walk straight keeping the door at his back on
entering, and used to proceed on till about three cubits from the wall in front of him, and then he
would offer the prayer there aiming at the place where Allah's Messenger (PbUH) prayed, as Bilal had told him.
There is no harm for any person to offer the prayer at any place inside the Ka`ba.

`Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) performed the `Umra. He performed Tawaf of the
Ka`ba and offered two rak`at behind the Maqam (Abraham's place) and was accompanied by those
who were screening him from the people." Somebody asked `Abdullah, "Did Allah's Messenger (PbUH) enter the
Ka`ba?" `Abdullah replied in the negative.

When Allah's Messenger (PbUH) came to Mecca, he refused to enter the Ka`ba with idols in it. He ordered (idols
to be taken out). So they were taken out. The people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael
holding Azlams in their hands. Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "May Allah curse these people. By Allah, both
Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams." Then he entered the Ka`ba and
said Takbir at its corners but did not offer the prayer in it.

When Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and his companions came to Mecca, the pagans circulated the news that a group
of people were coming to them and they had been weakened by the Fever of Yathrib (Medina). So the
Prophet ordered his companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of the Ka`ba and to
walk between the two corners (The Black Stone and Yemenite corner). The Prophet (PbUH) did not order
them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of pity for them.

I saw Allah's Messenger (PbUH) arriving at Mecca; he kissed the Black Stone Corner first while doing Tawaf and
did ramal in the first three rounds of the seven rounds (of Tawaf).

The Prophet (PbUH) did Ramal in (first) three rounds (of Tawaf), and walked in the remaining four, in Hajj
and Umra.

"`Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, 'By Allah! I know that you are a
stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (PbUH) touching (and kissing) you, I would
never have touched (and kissed) you.' Then he kissed it and said, 'There is no reason for us to do
Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah has destroyed
them.' `Umar added, '(Nevertheless), the Prophet (PbUH) did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).'

Ibn `Umar. said, "I have never missed the touching of these two stones of Ka`ba (the Black Stone and
the Yemenite Corner) both in the presence and the absence of crowds, since I saw the Prophet (PbUH)
touching them." I asked Nafi`: "Did Ibn `Umar use to walk between the two Corners?" Nafi` replied,
"He used to walk in order that it might be easy for him to touch it (the Corner Stone)."

In his Last Hajj the Prophet (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba riding a camel and pointed a bent-headed
stick towards the Corner (Black Stone).

Abu Ash-Sha'tha said, "Who keeps away from some portion of the Ka'bah?" Mu'awiya used to touch the four corners of the Ka'bah, Ibn 'Abbas said to him, "These two corners (the one facing the Hijr) are not to be touched." Mu'awiya said, "Nothing is untouchable in the Ka'bah." And Ibn Az-Zubair used to touch all the corners of the Ka'bah.

"I have not seen the Prophet (PbUH) touching except the two Yemenite Corners (i.e. the ones facing Yemen)."

"I saw `Umar bin Al-Khattab kissing the Black Stone and he then said, (to it) 'Had I not seen Allah's
Apostle kissing you, (stone) I would not have kissed you.' "

A man asked Ibn `Umar about the touching of the Black Stone. Ibn `Umar said, "I saw Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
touching and kissing it." The questioner said, "But if there were a throng (much rush) round the Ka`ba
and the people overpowered me, (what would I do?)" He replied angrily, "Stay in Yemen (as that man
was from Yemen). I saw Allah's Messenger (PbUH) touching and kissing it."

The Prophet (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba while riding a camel, and whenever he came in front of
the Corner, he pointed towards it (with something).

The Prophet (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba riding a camel, and every time he came in front of the
Corner (having the Black Stone), he pointed towards it with something he had with him and said
Takbir.

`Aisha said, "The first thing the Prophet (PbUH) did on reaching Mecca, was the ablution and then he
performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and that was not `Umra (alone), (but Hajj-al-Qiran). `Urwa added:
Later Abu Bakr and `Umar did the same in their Hajj." And I performed the Hajj with my father Az-
Zubair, and the first thing he did was Tawaf of the Ka`ba. Later I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and
the Ansar doing the same. My mother (Asma') told me that she, her sister (`Aisha), Az-Zubair and
such and such persons assumed Ihram for `Umra, and after they passed their hands over the Black
Stone Corner (of the Ka`ba) they finished the Ihram. (i.e. After doing Tawaf of the Ka`ba and Sa`i
between Safa-Marwa.

When Allah's Messenger (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba for Hajj or `Umra, he used to do Ramal during
the first three rounds, and in the last four rounds he used to walk; then after the Tawaf he used to offer
two rak`at and then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.

When the Prophet (PbUH) performed the Tawaf of the Ka`ba, he did Ramal during the first three rounds and
in the last four rounds he used to walk and while doing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, he used to
run in the midst of the rain water passage.

Ibn Juraij said, " 'Ata informed us that when Ibn Hisham forbade women to perform Tawaf with men he said to him, 'How do you forbid them while the wives of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) used to perform Tawaf with the men ?' I said, 'Was this before decreeing of the use of the veil or after it ? 'Ata took an oath and said, 'I saw it after the order of veil.' I said, 'How did they mix with the men?' 'Ata said, 'The women never mixed with the men, and 'Aishah used to perform Tawaf separately and never mixed with men. Once it happened that 'Aishah was performing the Tawaf and woman said to her, 'O Mother of believers! Let us touch the Black stone.' 'Aishah said to her, 'Go yourself,' and she herself refused to do so. The wives of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) used to come out in night, in disguise and used to perform Tawaf with men. But whenever they intended to enter the Ka'bah, they would stay outside till the men had gone out. I and 'Ubaid bin 'Umair used to visit 'Aishah while she was residing at Jauf Thabir." I asked, "What was her veil?" 'Ata said, "She was wearing and old turkish veil, and that was the only thing (weal) which was screen between us and her. I saw a pink cover on her."

(the wife of the Prophet) I informed Allah's Messenger (PbUH) that I was ill. So he said, "Perform the Tawaf
while riding behind the people." I did so, and at that time the Prophet (PbUH) was praying beside the Ka`ba
and reciting Surat-at-Tur.

While the Prophet (PbUH) was performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba, he passed by a person who had tied his hands
to another person with a rope or string or something like that. The Prophet (PbUH) cut it with his own hands
and said, "Lead him by the hand."

The Prophet (PbUH) saw a man performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba tied with a string or something else. So the
Prophet cut that string.

In the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet (PbUH) when Allah's Messenger (PbUH) made Abu Bakr the leader of the
pilgrims, the latter (Abu Bakr) sent me in the company of a group of people to make a public
announcement: 'No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person is allowed to
perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba.' (See Hadith No. 365 Vol. 1)

We asked Ibn `Umar: "May a man have sexual relations with his wife during the Umra before
performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) arrived (in Mecca) and
circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times, then offered two rak`at behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station
of Abraham), then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar added, "Verily! In Allah's
Apostle you have a good example." And I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah (the same question), and he
replied, "You should not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have finished Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa. "

The Prophet (PbUH) arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and Sa`i between Safa and Marwa,
but he did not go near the Ka`ba after his Tawaf till he returned from `Arafat.

(the wife of the Prophet) I informed Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (about my illness). (Through other sub-narrators,
Um Salama narrated that when Allah's Messenger (PbUH) was at Mecca and had just decided to leave (Mecca)
while she had not yet done Tawaf of the Ka`ba (and after listening to her). The Prophet (PbUH) said, "When
the morning prayer is established, perform the Tawaf on your camel while the people are in prayer."
So she did the same and did not offer the two rak`at of Tawaf until she came out of the Mosque.

The Prophet (PbUH) reached Mecca, circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times and then offered a two rak`at
prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim. Then he went towards the Safa. Allah has said, "Verily, in Allah's
Apostle you have a good example."

Some people performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) after the morning prayer and then sat to listen to a
preacher till sunrise, and then they stood up for the prayer. Then Aisha commented, "Those people
kept on sitting till it was the time in which the prayer is disliked and after that they stood up for the
prayer."

I heard the Prophet (PbUH) forbidding the offering of prayers at the time of sunrise and sunset.

`Abdul, `Aziz bin Rufa`i said, "I saw `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba after
the morning prayer then offering the two rak`at prayer." `Abdul `Aziz added, "I saw `Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair offering a two rak`at prayer after the `Asr prayer." He informed me that Aisha told him that
the Prophet (PbUH) used to offer those two rak`at whenever he entered her house."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) ending a camel (at that time the Prophet (PbUH) had foot
injury). Whenever he came to the Corner (having the Black Stone) he would point out towards it with
a thing in his hand and say, "Allahu-Akbar."

I informed Allah's Messenger (PbUH) that I was sick. He said, "Perform Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) while riding
behind the people." So, I performed the Tawaf while Allah's Messenger (PbUH) was offering the prayer beside
the Ka`ba and was reciting Surat-at-Tur.

Al `Abbas bin `Abdul-Muttalib asked the permission of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) to let him stay in Mecca
during the nights of Mina in order to provide the pilgrims with water to drink, so the Prophet (PbUH)
permitted him.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) came to the drinking place and asked for water. Al-Abbas said, "O Fadl! Go to your
mother and bring water from her for Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ." Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "Give me water to drink."
Al-Abbas said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! The people put their hands in it." Allah's Messenger (PbUH) again said, 'Give
me water to drink. So, he drank from that water and then went to the Zamzam (well) and there the
people were offering water to the others and working at it (drawing water from the well). The Prophet (PbUH)
then said to them, "Carry on! You are doing a good deed." Then he said, "Were I not afraid that other
people would compete with you (in drawing water from Zamzam), I would certainly take the rope and
put it over this (i.e. his shoulder) (to draw water)." On saying that the Prophet (PbUH) pointed to his shoulder.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "The roof of my house was made open while I was at Makkah (on the night of Mi'raj) and Jibril descended. He opened up my chest and washed it with the water of Zamzam. The he brought the golden tray full of Wisdom and Belief and poured it in my chest and then closed it. The he took hold of my hand and ascended to the nearest heaven. Jibril told the gatekeeper of the nearest heaven to open the gate. The gatekeeper asked, "Who is it?" Jibril replied, "I am Jibril." (See Hadith No. 349 Vol.1)

I gave Zamzam water to Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and he drank it while standing. 'Asia (a sub-narrator) said that
`Ikrima took the oath that on that day the Prophet (PbUH) had not been standing but riding a camel.

We set out with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) in the year of his Last Hajj and we mended (the Ihram) for `Umra.
Then the Prophet (PbUH) said, "Whoever has a Hadi with him should assume Ihram for both Hajj and `Umra,
and should not finish it till he performs both of the them (Hajj and `Umra)." When we reached Mecca,
I had my menses. When we had performed our Hajj, the Prophet (PbUH) sent me with `Abdur-Rahman to
Tan`im and I performed the `Umra. The Prophet (PbUH) said, "This is in lieu of your missed `Umra." Those
who had assumed Ihram for `Umra performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) and then finished
their Ihram. And then they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) after returning from
Mina. And those who had assumed lhram for Hajj and `Umra to get her ( Hajj-Qiran ) performed only
one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa).

`Abdullah bin `Abdullah bin `Umar and his riding animal entered the house of Ibn `Umar. He (the son
of Ibn `Umar) said, "I fear that this year a battle might take place between the people and you might
be prevented from going to the Ka`ba. I suggest that you should stay here." Ibn `Umar said, "Once
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) set out for the pilgrimage, and the pagans of Quraish intervened between him and the
Ka`ba. So, if the people intervened between me and the Ka`ba, I would do the same as Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
had done . . . "Verily, in Allah's Messenger (PbUH) you have a good example." Then he added, "I make you a
witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with `Umra." After arriving at Mecca, Ibn `Umar
performed one Tawaf only (between Safa and Marwa).

Ibn `Umar intended to perform Hajj in the year when Al-Hajjaj attacked Ibn Az-Zubair. Somebody
said to Ibn `Umar, "There is a danger of an impending war between them." Ibn `Umar said, "Verily, in
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) you have a good example. (And if it happened as you say) then I would do the same as
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had done. I make you witness that I have decided to perform `Umra." Then he set out
and when he reached Al-Baida', he said, "The ceremonies of both Hajj and `Umra are similar. I make
you witness that I have made Hajj compulsory for me along with `Umra." He drove (to Mecca) a Hadi
which he had bought from (a place called) Qudaid and did not do more than that. He did not slaughter
the Hadi or finish his Ihram, or shave or cut short his hair till the day of slaughtering the sacrifices
(10th Dhul-Hijja). Then he slaughtered his Hadi and shaved his head and considered the first Tawaf
(of Safa and Marwa) as sufficient for Hajj and `Umra. Ibn `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) did the same."

I asked `Urwa bin Az-Zubair (regarding the Hajj of the Prophet (PbUH) ). `Urwa replied, "Aisha narrated,
'When the Prophet (PbUH) reached Mecca, the first thing he started with was the ablution, then he performed
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and his intention was not `Umra alone (but Hajj and `Umra together).' " Later Abu
Bakr I performed the Hajj and the first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not
`Umra alone (but Hajj and `Umra together). And then `Umar did the same. Then `Uthman performed
the Hajj and the first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone. And
then Muawiya and `Abdullah bin `Umar did the same. I performed Hajj with Ibn Az-Zubair and the
first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone, (but Hajj and `Umra
together). Then I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and Ansar doing the same and it was not `Umra
alone. And the last person I saw doing the same was Ibn `Umar, and he did not do another `Umra after
finishing the first. Now here is Ibn `Umar present amongst the people! They neither ask him nor
anyone of the previous ones. And all these people, on entering Mecca, would not start with anything
unless they had performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and would not finish their Ihram. And no doubt, I saw
my mother and my aunt, on entering Mecca doing nothing before performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and
they would not finish their lhram. And my mother informed me that she, her sister, Az-Zubair and
such and such persons had assumed lhram for `Umra and after passing their hands over the Corner
(the Black Stone) (i.e. finishing their Umra) they finished their Ihram."

I asked `Aisha : "How do you interpret the statement of Allah,. : Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and
Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah, and whoever performs the Hajj to the Ka`ba or performs
`Umra, it is not harmful for him to perform Tawaf between them (Safa and Marwa.) (2.158). By
Allah! (it is evident from this revelation) there is no harm if one does not perform Tawaf between Safa
and Marwa." `Aisha said, "O, my nephew! Your interpretation is not true. Had this interpretation of
yours been correct, the statement of Allah should have been, 'It is not harmful for him if he does not
perform Tawaf between them.' But in fact, this divine inspiration was revealed concerning the Ansar
who used to assume lhram for worship ping an idol called "Manat" which they used to worship at a
place called Al-Mushallal before they embraced Islam, and whoever assumed Ihram (for the idol),
would consider it not right to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
When they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) regarding it, saying, "O Allah's
Apostle! We used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." So Allah revealed: 'Verily; (the
mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah.' " Aisha added, "Surely, Allah's
Apostle set the tradition of Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, so nobody is allowed to omit the Tawaf
between them." Later on I (`Urwa) told Abu Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman (of `Aisha's narration) and he
said, 'I have not heard of such information, but I heard learned men saying that all the people, except
those whom `Aisha mentioned and who used to assume lhram for the sake of Manat, used to perform
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
When Allah referred to the Tawaf of the Ka`ba and did not mention Safa and Marwa in the Qur'an, the
people asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! We used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa and Allah has
revealed (the verses concerning) Tawaf of the Ka`ba and has not mentioned Safa and Marwa. Is there
any harm if we perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?' So Allah revealed: "Verily As-Safa and Al-
Marwa are among the symbols of Allah." Abu Bakr said, "It seems that this verse was revealed
concerning the two groups, those who used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa in the Pre-
Islamic Period of ignorance and those who used to perform the Tawaf then, and after embracing Islam
they refrained from the Tawaf between them as Allah had enjoined Tawaf of the Ka`ba and did not
mention Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) till later after mentioning the Tawaf of the Ka`ba.'

Ibn `Umar said, "When Allah's Messenger (PbUH) performed the first Tawaf he did Ramal in the first three
rounds and then walked in the remaining four rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka`ba), where as in performing
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa he used to run in the midst of the rainwater passage," I asked Nafi`,
"Did `Abdullah (bin `Umar) use to walk steadily on reaching the Yemenite Corner?" He replied, "No,
unless people were crowded at the Corner; otherwise he would not leave it without touching it."

We asked Ibn `Umar whether a man who, while performing `Umra, had performed Tawaf of the
Ka`ba; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have sexual relation with
his wife, Ibn `Umar replied "The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds (of
Tawaf) of the Ka`ba and then offered a two-rak`at prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim and then performed
the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa." He added, "Verily! In Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
(p.b.u.h) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin `Abdullah (the same question) and he said,
"He (that man) should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa."

I heard Ibn `Umar saying, "The Prophet (PbUH) arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and then
offered a two-rak`at prayer and then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar then
recited (the verse): "Verily! In Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) you have a good example. "

I asked Anas bin Malik: "Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He
said, "Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, till Allah
revealed: 'Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is
therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka`ba, or performs `Umra, to perform
Tawaf between them.' " (2.158)

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and the Sa`i of Safa and Marwa so as to show his
strength to the pagans.

I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, nor the Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa. Then I informed Allah's Messenger (PbUH) about it. He replied, "Perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean
(from your menses)."

The Prophet (PbUH) and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) and
Talha had the Hadi (sacrifice) with them. `Ali arrived from Yemen and had a Hadi with him. `Ali said,
"I have assumed Ihram for what the Prophet (PbUH) has done." The Prophet (PbUH) ordered his companions to
perform the `Umra with the lhram which they had assumed, and after finishing Tawaf (of Ka`ba, Safa
and Marwa) to cut short their hair, and to finish their lhram except those who had Hadi with them.
They (the people) said, "How can we proceed to Mina (for Hajj) after having sexual relations with our
wives?" When that news reached the Prophet (PbUH) he said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know
lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me. Had there been no Hadi with me, I would have
finished the state of lhram." `Aisha got her menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except
Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and when she got clean (from her menses), she performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba.
She said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umra, but I am returning
after performing Hajj only." So the Prophet (PbUH) ordered `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to accompany her
to Tan`im and thus she performed the `Umra after the Hajj.

(On `Id) We used to forbid our virgins to go out (for `Id prayer). A lady came and stayed at the Palace
of Bani Khalaf. She mentioned that her sister was married to one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
who participated in twelve Ghazawats along with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) and her sister was with him in six of
them. She said, "We used to dress the wounded and look after the patients." She (her sister) asked
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) , "Is there any harm for a woman to stay at home if she doesn't have a veil?" He said,
"She should cover herself with the veil of her companion and she should take part in the good deeds
and in the religious gatherings of the believers." When Um 'Atiyya came, I asked her. "Did you hear
anything about that?" Um 'Atiyya said, "Bi Abi" and she never mentioned the name of Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
without saying "Bi Abi" (i.e. 'Let my father be sacrificed for you'). We asked her, "Have you heard
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) saying so and so (about women)?" She replied in the affirmative and said, "Let my
father be sacrificed for him. He told us that unmarried mature virgins who stay often screened or
unmarried young virgins and mature girls who stay often screened should come out and take part in
the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers. But the menstruating women should
keep away from the Musalla (praying place)." I asked her, "The menstruating women?" She replied,
"Don't they present themselves at `Arafat and at such and such places?"

I asked Anas bin Malik, "Tell me what you remember from Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (regarding these
questions): Where did he offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers on the day of Tarwiya (8th day of Dhul-
Hijja)?" He relied, "(He offered these prayers) at Mina." I asked, "Where did he offer the `Asr prayer
on the day of Nafr (i.e. departure from Mina on the 12th or 13th of Dhul-Hijja)?" He replied, "At Al-
Abtah," and then added, "You should do as your chiefs do."

I went out to Mina on the day of Tarwiya and met Anas going on a donkey. I asked him, "Where did
the Prophet (PbUH) offer the Zuhr prayer on this day?" Anas replied, "See where your chiefs pray and pray
similarly."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) offered a two-rak`at prayer at Mina. Abu Bakr, `Umar and `Uthman, (during the early
years of his caliphate) followed the same practice.

The Prophet (PbUH) led us in a two-rak`at prayer at Mina although our number was more than ever and we
were in better security than ever.

I offered (only a) two rak`at prayer with the Prophet (PbUH) (at Mina), and similarly with Abu Bakr and with
`Umar, and then you d offered in opinions. Wish that I would be lucky enough to have two of the four
rak`at accepted (by Allah).

The people doubted whether the Prophet (PbUH) was observing the fast on the Day of `Arafat, so I sent
something for him to drink and he drank it.

I asked Anas bin Malik while we were proceeding from Mina to `Arafat, "What do you use to do on
this day when you were with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ?" Anas said, "Some of us used to recite Talbiya and
nobody objected to that, and others used to recite Takbir and nobody objected to that."

`Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn `Umar during Hajj. On the Day of
`Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn `Umar came along with me and shouted near Al-
Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with
safflower, and said, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?" He said, If you want to follow the
Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to `Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "At this
very hour?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes." He replied, "Please wait for me till I pour some water over my
head (i.e. take a bath) and come out." Then Ibn `Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out.
So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn `Umar). I said to him, "If you want to
follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at `Arafat." He started looking
at `Abdullah (Ibn `Umar) (inquiringly), and when `Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the
truth.

On the day of `Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet (PbUH)
(p.b.u.h) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full
of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.

Salim said, "In the year when Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf attacked Ibn Az-Zubair, the former asked 'Abdullah (Ibn 'Umar) what to do during the stay on the Day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhul-Hajjah). I said to him, "If you want to follow the Sunna (the legal way of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH)) you should offer the Salat just after midday on the Day of the 'Arafa. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, 'He (Salim) has spoken the truth.' " They (the Companions of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH)) used to offer the Zuhr and Asr prayer together according to the Sunna, I asked Salim, "Did Allah's Messenger (PbUH) do that ?" Salim said, "And in doing that do you (people) follow anything else except his (PbUH) Sunna?"

`Abdul-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow `Abdullah bin `Umar in all the
ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of `Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hijja), and after the sun has
deviated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn `Umar came and he shouted near the
cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, "Where is he?" Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn `Umar said, "Let us proceed
(to `Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes." Al-Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till
I pour water on me (i.e. take a bath)." So, Ibn `Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out.
He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, "If you want to follow the Sunna
today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at `Arafat)." Ibn `Umar said,
"He (Salim) has spoken the truth."

My father said, "(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same narration is told by a
different sub-narrator. Jubair bin Mut`im said, "My camel was lost and I went out in search of it on the
day of `Arafat, and I saw the Prophet (PbUH) standing in `Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the
Hums (literally: strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as they used to say, 'We are the people of
Allah we shall not go out of the sanctuary). What has brought him here?"

During the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked
except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to
the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes
to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did not give
clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse)
directly from `Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. `Urwa added, "My
father narrated that `Aisha had said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then depart
from the place whence all the people depart--(2.199) `Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at
Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to `Arafat (by Allah's
order)."

Usama was asked in my presence, "How was the speed of (the camel of) Allah's Messenger (PbUH) while
departing from `Arafat during the Hajjatul Wada`?" Usama replied, "The Prophet (PbUH) proceeded on with a
modest pace, and when there was enough space he would (make his camel) go very fast."

As soon as the Prophet (PbUH) departed from `Arafat, he went towards the mountain pass, and there he
answered the call of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at asked, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! Will you offer the
prayer here?" He replied, "(The place of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)."

`Abdullah bin `Umar used to offer the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers together at Jam' (Al-Muzdalifa). But
he used to pass by that mountain pass where Allah's Messenger (PbUH) went, and he would enter it and answer
the call of nature and perform ablution, and would not offer any prayer till he had prayed at Jam.'

I rode behind Allah's Messenger (PbUH) from `Arafat and when Allah's Messenger (PbUH) reached the mountain pass on
the left side which is before Al-Muzdalifa he made his camel kneel and then urinated, and then I
poured water for his ablution. He performed light ablution and then I said to him: (Is it the time for)
the prayer, O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)!" He replied, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-
Muzdalifa)." So Allah's Messenger (PbUH) rode till he reached Al-Muzdalifa and then he offered the prayer
(there) . Then in the morning (10th Dhul-Hijja) Al-Faql (bin `Abbas) rode behind Allah's Messenger (PbUH).
Kuraib, (a sub-narrator) said that `Abdullah bin `Abbas narrated from Al-Fadl, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
(p.b.u.h) kept on reciting Talbiya (during the journey) till he reached the Jamra." (Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba)

I proceeded along with the Prophet (PbUH) on the day of `Arafat (9th Dhul-Hijja). The Prophet (PbUH) heard a great
hue and cry and the beating of camels behind him. So he beckoned to the people with his lash, "O
people! Be quiet. Hastening is not a sign of righteousness."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) proceeded from `Arafat and dismounted at the mountainous pass and then urinated
and performed a light ablution. I said to him, "(Shall we offer) the prayer?" He replied, "The prayer is
ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)." When he came to Al-Muzdalifa, he performed a perfect ablution.
Then Iqama for the prayer was pronounced and he offered the Maghrib prayer and then every person
made his camel kneel at his place; and then Iqama for the prayer was pronounced and he offered the
(`Isha') prayer and he did not offer any prayer in between them (i.e. Maghrib and `Isha' prayers).

The Prophet (PbUH) offered the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers together at Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) with a
separate Iqama for each of them and did not offer any optional prayer in between them or after each of
them.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) offered the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers together at Al-Muzdalifa.

`Abdullah;- performed the Hajj and we reached Al-Muzdalifa at or about the time of the `Isha' prayer.
He ordered a man to pronounce the Adhan and Iqama and then he offered the Maghrib prayer and
offered two rak`at after it. Then he asked for his supper and took it, and then, I think, he ordered a
man to pronounce the Adhan and Iqama (for the `Isha' prayer). (`Amr, a sub-narrator said: The
intervening statement 'I think', was said by the sub-narrator Zuhair) (i.e. not by `Abdur-Rahman).
Then `Abdullah offered two rak`at of `Isha' prayer. When the day dawned, `Abdullah said, "The
Prophet never offered any prayer at this hour except this prayer at this time and at this place and on
this day." `Abdullah added, "These two prayers are shifted from their actual times -- the Maghrib
prayer (is offered) when the people reached Al-Muzdalifa and the Fajr (morning) prayer at the early
dawn." `Abdullah added, "I saw the Prophet (PbUH) doing that."

`Abdullah bin `Umar used to send the weak among his family early to Mina. So they used to depart
from Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram (that is Al-Muzdalifa) at night (when the moon had set) and invoke Allah
as much as they could, and then they would return (to Mina) before the Imam had started from Al-
Muzdalifa to Mina. So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr prayer and some of
them would come later. When they reached Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat-Al-
`Aqaba) Ibn `Umar used to say, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) gave the permission to them (weak people) to do so."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) had sent me from Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) at night.

I as among those whom the Prophet (PbUH) sent on the night of Al-Muzdalifa early being among the weak
members of his family.

(the slave of Asma') During the night of Jam', Asma' got down at Al-Muzdalifa and stood up for
(offering) the prayer and offered the prayer for some time and then asked, "O my son! Has the moon
set?" I replied in the negative and she again prayed for another period and then asked, "Has the moon
set?" I replied, "Yes." So she said that we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till
she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba) and then she returned to her dwelling place and
offered the morning prayer. I asked her, "O you! I think we have come (to Mina) early in the night."
She replied, "O my son! Allah's Messenger (PbUH) gave permission to the women to do so."

Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet (PbUH) to leave earlier at the night of Jam', and she was a fat and
very slow woman. The Prophet (PbUH) gave her permission.

We got down at Al-Muzdalifa and Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet (PbUH) to leave (early) before
the rush of the people. She was a slow woman and he gave her permission, so she departed (from Al-
Muzdalifa) before the rush of the people. We kept on staying at Al-Muzdalifa till dawn, and set out
with the Prophet (PbUH) but (I suffered so much that) I wished I had taken the permission of Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
as Sauda had done, and that would have been dearer to me than any other happiness.

I never saw the Prophet (PbUH) offering any prayer not at its stated time except two; he prayed the Maghrib
and the `Isha' together and he offered the morning prayer before its usual time.

I went out with `Abdullah , to Mecca and when we proceeded to am' he offered the two prayers (the
Maghrib and the `Isha') together, making the Adhan and Iqama separately for each prayer. He took his
supper in between the two prayers. He offered the Fajr prayer as soon as the day dawned. Some
people said, "The day had dawned (at the time of the prayer)," and others said, "The day had not
dawned." `Abdullah then said, "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, 'These two prayers have been shifted from their
stated times at this place only (at Al-Muzdalifa); first: The Maghrib and the `Isha'. So the people
should not arrive at Al-Muzdalifa till the time of the `Isha' prayer has become due. The second prayer
is the morning prayer which is offered at this hour.' " Then `Abdullah stayed there till it became a bit
brighter. He then said, "If the chief of the believers hastened onwards to Mina just now, then he had
indeed followed the Sunna." I do not know which proceeded the other, his (`Abdullah's) statement or
the departure of `Uthman . `Abdullah was reciting Talbiya till he threw pebbles at the Jamrat-Al-
`Aqaba on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering) (that is the 10th of Dhul-Hijja).

I saw `Umar, offering the Fajr (morning) prayer at Jam'; then he got up and said, "The pagans did not
use to depart (from Jam') till the sun had risen, and they used to say, 'Let the sun shine on Thabir (a
mountain).' But the Prophet (PbUH) contradicted them and departed from Jam' before sunrise."

The Prophet (PbUH) made Al-Fadl ride behind him, and Al-Fadl informed that he (the Prophet (PbUH) ) kept on
reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of the Jamra. (Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba.)

Ibn `Abbas said, "Usama bin Zaid rode behind the Prophet (PbUH) from `Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then
from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina, Al-Fadl rode behind him." He added, "Both of them (Usama and Al-Fadl)
said, 'The Prophet (PbUH) was constantly reciting Talbiya till he did Rami of the Jamarat-Al-`Aqaba."

I asked Ibn `Abbas about Hajj-at-Tamattu`. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi
(sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with
the others." It seemed that some people disliked it (Hajj-at-Tamattu`). I slept and dreamt as if a person
was announcing: "Hajj Mabrur and accepted Mut'ah (Hajj-at-Tamattu`)" I went to Ibn `Abbas and
narrated it to him. He said, "Allah is Greater. (That was) the tradition of Abu Al-Qasim (i.e. Prophet).
Narrated Shu`ba that the call in the dream was. "An accepted `Umra and Hajj-Mabrur. "

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) saw a man driving his Badana (sacrificial camel). He said, "Ride on it." The
man said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The
Prophet said, "Ride on it." And on the second or the third time he (the Prophet (PbUH) ) added, "Woe to you."

The Prophet (PbUH) saw a man driving a Badana. He said, "Ride on it." The man replied, "It is a Badana."
The Prophet (PbUH) said (again), "Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (PbUH) said thrice,
"Ride on it."

During the last Hajj (Hajj-al-Wada`) of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) he performed `Umra and Hajj. He drove a
Hadi along with him from Dhul-Hulaifa. Allah's Messenger (PbUH) started by assuming Ihram for `Umra and
Hajj. And the people, too, performed the `Umra and Hajj along with the Prophet. Some of them
brought the Hadi and drove it along with them, while the others did not. So, when the Prophet (PbUH) arrived
at Mecca. he said to the people, "Whoever among you has driven the Hadi, should not finish his Ihram
till he completes his Hajj. And whoever among you has not (driven) the Hadi with him, should
perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba and the Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, then cut short his hair and finish
his Ihram, and should later assume Ihram for Hajj; but he must offer a Hadi (sacrifice); and if anyone
cannot afford a Hadi, he should fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when he returns
home. The Prophet (PbUH) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba on his arrival (at Mecca); he touched the (Black
Stone) corner first of all and then did Ramal (fast walking with moving of the shoulders) during the
first three rounds round the Ka`ba, and during the last four rounds he walked. After finishing Tawaf of
the Ka`ba, he offered a two rak`at prayer at Maqam Ibrahim, and after finishing the prayer he went to
Safa and Marwa and performed seven rounds of Tawaf between them and did not do any deed
forbidden because of Ihram, till he finished all the ceremonies of his Hajj and sacrificed his Hadi on
the day of Nahr (10th day of Dhul-Hijja). He then hastened onwards (to Mecca) and performed Tawaf
of the Ka`ba and then everything that was forbidden because of Ihram became permissible. Those who
took and drove the Hadi with them did the same as Allah's Messenger (PbUH) did.

" 'Aishah informed me about the Hajj and 'Umra (together) of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) and so did the people who were with him (during the Hajj and 'Umra) and narration similar to the narration of the Ibn 'Umar (previous hadith)

`Abdullah (bin `Abdullah) bin `Umar said to his father, "Stay here, for I am afraid that it (affliction
between Ibn Zubair and Al-Hajjaj) might prevent you from reaching the Ka`ba." Ibn `Umar said, "(In
this case) I would do the same as Allah's Messenger (PbUH) did, and Allah has said, 'Verily, in Allah's Messenger (PbUH),
you have a good example (to follow).' So, I make you, people, witness that I have made `Umra
compulsory for me." So he assumed lhram for `Umra. Then he went out and when he reached Al-
Baida', he assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra (together) and said, "The conditions (requisites) of Hajj
and `Umra are the same." He, then brought a Hadi from Qudaid. Then he arrived (at Mecca) and
performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) once for both Hajj and `Umra and did not finish the
lhram till he had finished both Hajj and `Umra.

The Prophet (PbUH) set out from Medina with over one thousand of his companions (at the time of the Treaty
of Hudaibiya) and when they reached Dhul-Hulaifa, the Prophet (PbUH) garlanded his Hadi and marked it and
assumed Ihram for `Umra.

I twisted with my own hands the garlands for the Budn of the Prophet (PbUH) who garlanded and marked
them, and then made them proceed to Mecca; Yet no permissible thing was regarded as illegal for him
then.

I said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! What is wrong with the people, they have finished their Ihram but you have
not?" He said, "I matted my hair and I have garlanded my Hadi, so I will not finish my Ihram till I
finished my Hajj ."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) used to send the Hadi from Medina and I used to twist the garlands for his Hadi and
he did not keep away from any of these things which a Muhrim keeps away from.

I twisted the garlands for the Hadis of the Prophet (PbUH) and then he marked and garlanded them (or I
garlanded them) and then made them proceed to the Ka`ba but he remained in Medina and no
permissible thing was regarded as illegal for him then .

That `Amra bint `Abdur-Rahman had told him, "Zaid bin Abu Sufyan wrote to `Aisha that `Abdullah
bin `Abbas had stated, 'Whoever sends his Hadi (to the Ka`ba), all the things which are illegal for a
(pilgrim) become illegal for that person till he slaughters it (i.e. till the 10th of Dhul-Hijja).' " `Amra
added, `Aisha said, 'It is not like what Ibn `Abbas had said: I twisted the garlands of the Hadis of
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) with my own hands. Then Allah's Messenger (PbUH) put them round their necks with his own
hands, sending them with my father; Yet nothing permitted by Allah was considered illegal for Allah's
Apostle till he slaughtered the Hadis.' "

Once the Prophet (PbUH) sent sheep as Hadi.

I used to make the garlands for (the Hadis of) the Prophet (PbUH) and he would garland the sheep (with them)
and would stay with his family as a non-Muhrim.

I used to twist the garlands for the sheep of the Prophet (PbUH) and he would send them (to the Ka`ba), and
stay as a non-Muhrim.

I twisted (the garlands) for the Hadis of the Prophet (PbUH) before he assumed Ihram.

I twisted the garlands of the Hadis from the wool which was with me.

Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet (PbUH) saw a man driving a Badana (sacrificial camel). The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h)
said (to him), 'Ride on it.' He replied, 'It is a Badana.' The Prophet (PbUH) again said, 'Ride on it!' Abu Huraira
added, 'Then I saw that man riding it, showing obedience to the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h), and a shoe was
(hanging) from its neck.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

From the Prophet: (as above).

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ordered me to give in charity the skin and the coverings of the Budn which I had
slaughtered.

Ibn `Umar intended to perform Hajj in the year of the Hajj of Al-Harawriya during the rule of Ibn Az-
Zubair. Some people said to him, "It is very likely that there will be a fight among the people, and we
are afraid that they might prevent you (from performing Hajj)." He replied, "Verily, in Allah's Messenger (PbUH)
there is a good example for you (to follow). In this case I would do the same as he had done. I make
you witness that I have intended to perform `Umra." When he reached Al-Baida', he said, "The
conditions for both Hajj and `Umra are the same. I make you witness that I have intended to perform
Hajj along with `Umra." After that he took a garlanded Hadi (to Mecca) which he bought (on the
way). When he reached (Mecca), he performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and of Safa (and Marwa) and did
not do more than that. He did not make legal for himself the things which were illegal for a Muhrim
till it was the Day of Nahr (sacrifice), when he had his head shaved and slaughtered (the sacrifice) and
considered sufficient his first Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa), as a (Sa`i) for his Hajj and `Umra
both. He then said, "The Prophet (PbUH) used to do like that."

I heard `Aisha saying, "Five days before the end of Dhul-Qa'da we set out from Medina in the
company of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we approached Mecca,
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ordered those who had no Hadi with them to finish their lhram after performing Tawaf
of the Ka`ba and (Sa`i) and between Safa and Marwa." `Aisha added, "On the day of Nahr
(slaughtering of sacrifice) beef was brought to us. I asked, 'What is this?' The reply was, 'Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) has slaughtered (sacrifices) on behalf of his wives.' "

`Abdullah (bin `Umar), used to slaughter (his sacrifice) at the Manhar. ('Ubaidullah, a sub-narrator
said, "The Manhar of Allah's Messenger (PbUH).")

Ibn `Umar used to send his Hadi from Jam' (to Mina) in the last third of the night with the pilgrims
amongst whom there were free men and slaves, till it was taken into the Manhar (slaughtering place)
of the Prophet (PbUH) .

The narration of Anas abridged, saying, "The Prophet (PbUH) slaughtered seven Budn (camels) while
standing, with his own hands. On the day of `Id-ul-Adha he slaughtered (sacrificed) two horned rams,
black and white in color.

I saw Ibn `Umar passing by a man who had made his Badana sit to slaughter it. Ibn `Umar said,
"Slaughter it while it is standing with one leg tied up as is the tradition of Muhammad."

The Prophet (PbUH) offered four rak`at of Zuhr prayer at Medina; and two rak`at of `Asr prayer at Dhil-
Hulaifa and spent the night there and when (the day) dawned, he mounted his Mount and started
saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Glorified be Allah." When he reached Al-
Baida' he recited Talbiya for both Hajj and `Umra. And when he arrived at Mecca, he ordered them
(his companions) to finish their Ihram. The Prophet (PbUH) slaughtered seven Budn (camel) with his own
hands while the camels were standing He also sacrificed two horned rams (black and white in color) at
Medina.

The Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) offered four rak`at of Zuhr prayer at Medina and two rak`at of `Asr prayer at
Dhul-Hulaifa. Narrated Aiyub: "A man said: Anas said, "Then he (the Prophet (PbUH) passed the night there
till dawn and then he offered the morning (Fajr) prayer, and mounted his Mount and when it arrived at
Al-Baida' he assumed Ihram for both `Umra and Hajj."

The Prophet (PbUH) sent me to supervise the (slaughtering of) Budn (Hadi camels) and ordered me to
distribute their meat, and then he ordered me to distribute their covering sheets and skins. 'All added,
"The Prophet (PbUH) ordered me to supervise the slaughtering (of the Budn) and not to give anything (of their
bodies) to the butcher as wages for slaughtering."

The Prophet (PbUH) ordered me to supervise the (slaughtering) of Budn (Hadi camel) and to distribute their
meat, skins and covering sheets in charity and not to give anything (of their bodies) to the butcher as
wages for slaughtering.

The Prophet (PbUH) offered one hundred Budn as Hadi and ordered me to distribute their meat (in charity)
and I did so. Then he ordered me to distribute their covering sheets in charity and I did so. Then he
ordered me to distribute their skins in charity and I did so.

`Ata' said, "I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, 'We never ate the meat of the Budn for more than three
days of Mina. Later, the Prophet (PbUH) gave us permission by saying: 'Eat and take (meat) with you. So we
ate (some) and took (some) with us.' " I asked `Ata', "Did Jabir say (that they went on eating the meat)
till they reached Medina?" `Ata' replied, "No."

I heard `Aisha saying, "We set out (from Medina) along with Allah's Messenger (PbUH) five days before the end
of Dhul-Qa'da with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we approached Mecca, Allah's
Apostle ordered those who had no Hadi along with them to finish the lhram after performing Tawaf of
the Ka`ba, (Safa and Marwa). `Aisha added, "Beef was brought to us on the Day of Nahr and I said,
'What is this?' Somebody said, 'The Prophet (PbUH) has slaughtered (cows) on behalf of his wives.' "

The Prophet (PbUH) was asked about a person who had his head shaved before slaughtering (his Hadi) (or
other similar ceremonies of Hajj). He replied, "There is no harm, there is no harm."

A man said to the Prophet (PbUH) "I performed the Tawaf-al-Ifada before the Rami (throwing pebbles at the
Jamra)." The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "There is no harm." The man said, "I had my head shaved before
slaughtering." The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "There is no harm." He said, "I have slaughtered the Hadi before
the Rami." The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "There is no harm."

The Prophet (PbUH) was asked by a man who said, "I have done the Rami in the evening." The Prophet (PbUH)
replied, "There is no harm in it." Another man asked, "I had my head shaved before the slaughtering."
The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "There is no harm in it."

I came upon Allah's Messenger (PbUH) when he was at Al-Batha. He asked me, "Have you intended to perform
the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "For what have you assumed lhram?" I replied," I
have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet (PbUH) ." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "You have
done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa." Then I went to one
of the women of Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihram for Hajj.
So, I used to give this verdict to the people till the caliphate of `Umar. When I told him about it, he
said, "If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and `Umra (Hajj-at-
Tamattu`) and if we follow the tradition of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) then Allah's Messenger (PbUH) did not finish his
lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination (had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). (See Hadith
No. 630)

Hafsa said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! What is wrong with the people; they finished their Ihram after
performing `Umra, but you have not finished it after your `Umra?" He replied, "I matted my hair and
have garlanded my Hadi. So, I cannot finish my Ihram till I slaughter (my Hadi). "

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) (got) his head shaved after performing his Hajj.

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "O Allah! Be merciful to those who have their head shaved." The people said, "O
Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! And (invoke Allah for) those who get their hair cut short." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "O
Allah! Be merciful to those who have their head shaved." The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! And
those who get their hair cut short." The Prophet (PbUH) said (the third time), "And to those who get their hair
cut short." Nafi` said that the Prophet (PbUH) had said once or twice, "O Allah! Be merciful to those who get
their head shaved," and on the fourth time he added, "And to those who have their hair cut short."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) said, "O Allah! Forgive those who get their heads shaved." The people asked. "Also
those who get their hair cut short?" The Prophet (PbUH) said, "O Allah! Forgive those who have their heads
shaved." The people said, "Also those who get their hair cut short?" The Prophet (PbUH) (invoke Allah for
those who have their heads shaved and) at the third time said, "also (forgive) those who get their hair
cut short."

The Prophet (PbUH) and some of his companions got their heads shaved and some others got their hair cut
short.

I cut short the hair of Allah's Messenger (PbUH) with a long blade.

When the Prophet (PbUH) came to Mecca, he ordered his Companions to perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa, to finish their Ihram and get their hair shaved off or cut short.

Narrated Nafi' that Ibn 'Umar (ra) performed only one Tawaf. He would take an afternoon nap and then return to Mina. That was on the day of Nahr (slaughtering).

We performed Hajj with the Prophet (PbUH) and performed Tawaf-al-ifada on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering).
Safiya got her menses and the Prophets desired from her what a husband desires from his wife. I said
to him, "O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! She is having her menses." He said, "Is she going to detain us?" We
informed him that she had performed Tawaf-al-Ifada on the Day of Nahr. He said, "(Then you can)
depart."

The Prophet (PbUH) was asked about the slaughtering, shaving (of the head), and the doing of Rami before or
after the due times. He said, "There is no harm in that."

The Prophet (PbUH) was asked (as regards the ceremonies of Hajj) at Mina on the Day of Nahr and he replied
that there was no harm. Then a man said to him, "I got my head shaved before slaughtering." He
replied, "Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it." (Another) man said, "I did the Rami (of the
Jimar) after midday." The Prophet (PbUH) replied, "There was no harm in it."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) stopped (for a while near the Jimar at Mina) during his last Hajj and the people started
asking him questions. A man said, "Ignorantly I got my head shaved before slaughtering." The
Prophet replied, "Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it." Another man said, "Unknowingly I
slaughtered the Hadi before doing the Rami." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Do Rami now and there is no harm
in it." So, on that day, when the Prophet (PbUH) was asked about anything (about the ceremonies of Hajj)
done before or after (its stated time) his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."

I witnessed the Prophet (PbUH) when he was delivering the sermon on the Day of Nahr. A man stood up and
said, "I thought that such and such was to be done before such and such. I got my hair shaved before
slaughtering." (Another said), "I slaughtered the Hadi before doing the Rami." So, the people asked
about many similar things. The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Do it (now) and there is no harm in all these cases."
Whenever the Prophet (PbUH) was asked about anything on that day, he replied, "Do it (now) and there is no
harm in it."

Allah's Messenger (PbUH) stopped while on his she-camel (the sub-narrator then narrated the Hadith as above,
i.e. 793).

Ibn `Abbas said: "Allah's Messenger (PbUH) delivered a sermon on the Day of Nahr, and said, 'O people! (Tell
me) what is the day today?' The people replied, 'It is the forbidden (sacred) day.' He asked again,
'What town is this?' They replied, 'It is the forbidden (Sacred) town.' He asked, 'Which month is this?'
They replied, 'It is the forbidden (Sacred) month.' He said, 'No doubt! Your blood, your properties,
and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this (sacred) town
(Mecca) of yours, in this month of yours.' The Prophet (PbUH) repeated his statement again and again. After
that he raised his head and said, 'O Allah! Haven't conveyed (Your Message) to them'. Haven't I
conveyed Your Message to them?' " Ibn `Abbas added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the
following was his will (Prophet's will) to his followers:--It is incumbent upon those who are present to
convey this information to those who are absent Beware don't renegade (as) disbelievers (turn into
infidels) after me, Striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another.' "

I heard the Prophet (PbUH) delivering a sermon at `Arafat.

The Prophet (PbUH) delivered to us a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Do you know what is the day
today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought that he
might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the Day of Nahr?" We said, "It is." He further
asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till
we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We
replied: "Yes! It is." He further asked, "What town is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
it better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it
the forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?" We said, "Yes. It is." He said, "No doubt, your blood and
your properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours,
in this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message
to you? They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are
present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might
comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware!
Do not renegade (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another."

At Mina, the Prophet (PbUH) (p.b.u.h) said, "Do you know what is the day today?" The people replied, "Allah
and His Apostle know it better." He said, "It is the forbidden (sacred) day. And do you know what
town is this?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden
(Sacred) town (Mecca). And do you know which month is this?" The people replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden (sacred) month." The Prophet (PbUH) added, "No
doubt, Allah made your blood, your properties, and your honor sacred to one another like the sanctity
of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours." Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the Day of
Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja), the Prophet (PbUH) stood in between the Jamrat during his Hajj which he
performed (as in the previous Hadith) and said, "This is the greatest Day (i.e. 10th of Dhul-Hijjah)."
The Prophet (PbUH) started saying repeatedly, "O Allah! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message)." He
then bade the people farewell. The people said, "This is Hajjat-al-Wada`)."

The Prophet (PbUH) permitted the people who provided the pilgrims with water to stay at Mecca during the
nights of Mina.

That the Prophet (PbUH) allowed people who provided the pilgrims with water to stay at Mecca during the
nights of Mina.

Al-Abbas asked the permission from the Prophet (PbUH) to stay at Mecca during the nights of Mina in order
to provide water to the people, so the Prophet (PbUH) allowed him.

I asked Ibn `Umar, "When should I do the Rami of the Jimar?" He replied, "When your leader does
that." I asked him again the same question. He replied, "We used to wait till the sun declined and then
we would do the Rami (i.e. on the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijja)."

`Abdullah, did the Rami from the middle of the valley. So, I said, "O, Abu `Abdur-Rahman! Some
people do the Rami (of the Jamra) from above it (i.e. from the top of the valley)." He said, "By Him
except whom none has the right to be worshipped, this is the place from where the one on whom
Surat-al-Baqara was revealed (i.e. Allah's Messenger (PbUH)) did the Rami."

When `Abdullah, reached the big Jamra (i.e. Jamrat-ul-Aqaba) he kept the Ka`ba on the left side and
Mina on his right side and threw seven pebbles (at the Jamra) and said, "The one on whom Surat-al-
Baqara was revealed (i.e. the Prophet) had done the Rami similarly."

I performed Hajj with Ibn Mas`ud , and saw him doing Rami of the big Jamra (Jamrat-ul-Aqaba) with
seven small pebbles, keeping the Ka`ba on his left side and Mina on his right. He then said, "This is
the place where the one on whom Surat-al-Baqara was revealed (i.e. Allah's Messenger (PbUH) ) stood."

I heard Al-Hajjaj saying on the pulpit, "The Sura in which Al-Baqara (the cow) is mentioned and the
Sura in which the family of `Imran is mentioned and the Sura in which the women (An-Nisa) is
mentioned." I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid told me, 'I was with
Ibn Mas`ud, when he did the Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba. He went down the middle of the valley,
and when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamra) he stood opposite to it and threw seven
small pebbles and said: 'Allahu-Akbar' on throwing every pebble.' Then he said, 'By Him, except
Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at this place) stood the one on whom Surat-al-Baqra
was revealed (i.e. Allah's Messenger (PbUH)).' "

Ibn `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khaif mosque) with seven
small stones and used to recite Takbir on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till he
reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qibla for a long time to invoke (Allah)
while raising his hands (while invoking). Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta (middle
Jamra) and then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing the
Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands, and
would stand there for a long period. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle
of the valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, "I saw the Prophet (PbUH) doing
like this."

`Abdullah bin `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya with seven small pebbles and used to
recite Takbir on throwing each stone. He, then, would proceed further till he reached the level ground,
where he would stay for a long time, facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then
he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta similarly and would go to the left towards the level ground,
where he would stand for a long time facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then
he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it.
Ibn `Umar used to say, "I saw Allah's Messenger (PbUH) doing like that."

Whenever Allah's Messenger (PbUH) stoned the Jamra near Mina Mosque, he would do Ramy of it with seven small pebbles and say Takbir on throwing each pebble. Then he would go ahead and stand facing the Qiblah with his hands raised, and invoke (Allah) and he sued to stand for a long period. Then he would come to the second Jamra (Al-Wusta) and stone it will seven small stones, reciting Takbir on throwing each stone. Then he would stand facing the Qiblah with raised hands to invoke (Allah). Then he would come to the Jamra near the 'Aqaba (Jamrat-ul-'Aqaba) and do Ramy of it with seven small pebbles, reciting Takbir on throwing each stone. he then would leave and not stay by it.

Narrated Az-Zuhri: I heard Salim bin 'Abdullah saying the same that his father said on the authority of the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH). And Ibn 'Umar used to do the same.

I heard my father who was the best man of his age, saying, "I heard `Aisha saying, 'I perfumed Allah's
Apostle with my own hands before finishing his Ihram while yet he has not performed Tawaf-al-
Ifada.' She spread her hands (while saying so.)"

The people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing,
before leaving (Mecca), except the menstruating women who were excused.

The Prophet (PbUH) offered the Zuhr, `Asr, Maghrib and the `Isha' prayers and slept for a while at a place
called Al-Muhassab and then rode to the Ka`ba and performed Tawaf round it .

Safiya bint Huyay, the wife of the Prophet (PbUH) got her menses, and Allah's Messenger (PbUH) was informed of that.
He said, "Would she delay us?" The people said, "She has already performed Tawaf-al-Ifada." He
said, "Therefore she will not (delay us)."

The people of Medina asked Ibn `Abbas about a woman who got her menses after performing Tawafal-
Ifada. He said, "She could depart (from Mecca)." They said, "We will not act on your verdict and
ignore the verdict of Zaid." Ibn `Abbas said, "When you reach Medina, inquire about it." So, when
they reached Medina they asked (about that). One of those whom they asked was Um Sulaim. She told
them the narration of Safiya (812).

A menstruating woman was allowed to leave Mecca if she had done Tawaf-al-Ifada. Tawus (a subnarrator)
said from his father, "I heard Ibn `Umar saying that she would not depart. Then later I heard
him saying that the Prophet (PbUH) had allowed them (menstruating women) to depart."

We set out with the Prophet (PbUH) with the intention of performing Hajj only. The Prophet (PbUH) reached Mecca
and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and did not finish the Ihram, because
he had the Hadi with him. His companions and his wives performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba and between
Safa and Marwa), and those who had no Hadi with them finished their Ihram. I got the menses and
performed all the ceremonies of Hajj. So, when the Night of Hasba (night of departure) came, I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (PbUH)! All your companions are returning with Hajj and `Umra except me." He asked
me, "Didn't you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Umra) when you reached Mecca?" I said, "No." He said,
"Go to Tan`im with your brother `Abdur-Rahman, and assume Ihram for `Umra and I will wait for
you at such and such a place." So I went with `Abdur-Rahman to Tan`im and assumed Ihram for
`Umra. Then Safiya bint Huyay got menses. The Prophet (PbUH) said, " 'Aqra Halqa! You will detain us!
Didn't you perform Tawaf-al-Ifada on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" She said, "Yes, I did." He
said, "Then there is no harm, depart." So I met the Prophet (PbUH) when he was ascending the heights
towards Mecca and I was descending, or vice-versa.

I asked Anas bin Malik, "Tell me something you have observed about the Prophet (PbUH) concerning where
he offered the Zuhr prayer on the Day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja)." Anas replied, "He offered it at
Mina." I said, "Where did he offer the `Asr prayer on the Day of Nafr (day of departure from Mina)?"
He replied, "At Al-Abtah," and added, "You should do as your leaders do."

The Prophet (PbUH) offered the Zuhr, `Asr, Maghrib and `Isha' prayers and slept for a while at a place called
Al-Mahassab and then he rode towards the Ka`ba and performed Tawaf (al-Wada`).

It (i.e. Al-Abtah) was a place where the Prophet (PbUH) used to camp so that it might be easier for him to
depart.

Staying at Al-Mahassab is not one of the ceremonies (of Hajj), but Al-Mahassab is a place where
Allah's Messenger (PbUH) camped (during his Hajjat-al-Wida).

Ibn `Umar used to spend the night at Dhi-Tuwa in between the two Thaniyas and then he would enter
Mecca through the Thaniya which is at the higher region of Mecca, and whenever he came to Mecca
for Hajj or `Umra, he never made his she camel kneel down except near the gate of the Masjid (Sacred
Mosque) and then he would enter (it) and go to the Black (stone) Corner and start from there
circumambulating the Ka`ba seven times: hastening in the first three rounds (Ramal) and walking in
the last four. On finishing, he would offer two rak`at prayer and set out to perform Tawaf between
Safa and Marwa before returning to his dwelling place. On returning (to Medina) from Hajj or `Umra,
he used to make his camel kneel down at Al-Batha which is at Dhul-Hulaifa, the place where the
Prophet used to make his camel kneel down.

'Ubaidullah was asked about Al Mahassab. 'Ubaidullah narrated: Nafi` said, 'Allah's Messenger (PbUH)s, `Umar
and Ibn `Umar camped there." Nafi` added, "Ibn `Umar used to offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers at it
(i.e. Al-Mahassab)." I think he mentioned the Maghrib prayer also. I said, "I don't doubt about `Isha'
(i.e. he used to offer it there also), and he used to sleep there for a while. He used to say, 'The Prophet (PbUH)
used to do the same.' "

Whenver Ibn 'Umar (ra) approached (Makkah) he used to pass the night at Dhi-Tuwa till dawn, and then he would enter Makkah. On his return, he used to pass by Dhi-Tuwa and pass the night there till dawn, and he used to say that the Prophet (PbUH) (PbUH) used to do the same.

Dhul-Majaz and `Ukaz were the markets of the people during the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance.
When the people embraced Islam, they disliked to do bargaining there till the following Holy Verses
were revealed:-- There is no harm for you If you seek of the bounty Of your Lord (during Hajj by
trading, etc.) (2.198)

Safiya got her menses on the night of Nafr (departure from Hajj), and she said, "I see that I will detain you." The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Aqra Halqa! Did she perform the Tawaf on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" Somebody replied in the affirmative. He said, "Then depart." (Different narrators mentioned that) `Aisha said, "We set out with Allah''s Apostle (from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we reached Mecca, he ordered us to finish the Ihram. When it was the night of Nafr (departure), Safiya bint Huyay got her menses. The Prophet (PbUH) said, "Halqa Aqra! I think that she will detain you," and added, "Did you perform the Tawaf (Al-Ifada) on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "Then depart." I said, "O Allah''s Apostle! I have not (done the Umra)." He replied, "Perform `Umra from Tan`im." My brother went with me and we came across the Prophet (PbUH) in the last part of the night. He said, "Wait at such and such a place."
