5248 - On the authority of Abu Umama, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stood among the people and said: 'Indeed, Allah has prescribed the Hajj upon you.' A man from the Bedouins stood up and said: 'Is it every year?' The voice of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) rose and he became angry, and he remained silent for a long time. Then he spoke and said: 'Who is this questioner?' The Bedouin said: 'It is I, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Woe to you! Would it please you if I said: yes? By Allah, if I had said: yes, it would have become obligatory, [and if it had become obligatory, you would have abandoned it, and if you had abandoned it, you would have disbelieved. Verily, those before you were destroyed by the leaders of over-stringency. By Allah,] if I had made lawful for you everything on the earth except for something the size of a camel's hoof, you would have fallen [into it].' Thereupon Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you' [Al-Ma'idah: 101], the verse."

And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: A man from the Banu Sa‘d ibn Bakr came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)—and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) had been nursed among them—and said: "O sons of ‘Abd al-Muttalib." He (pbuh) said: "I have answered you." He said: "I am the envoy of my people and their messenger, and I am questioning you, and my questioning of you will be stern, and I am adjuring you, and my adjuring of you will be stern; will you not then take offense at me?" He (pbuh) said: "Yes [I will not]." He said: "Tell me, who created the heavens, the earth, Paradise, and the Fire?" He said: "Allah." He said: "I adjure you by Him, is it He who sent you with what your books and messengers brought to us, that we should testify that there is no god but Allah and that we should abandon al-Lat and al-‘Uzza?" He said: "Yes." He said: "I adjure you by Him, did He command you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "And your books and messengers brought to us that we should pray five prayers every day and night; I adjure you by Allah, did He command you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Your books and messengers brought to us that we should perform the pilgrimage to the House in Dhu al-Hijjah; I adjure you by Allah, did He command you?" He said: "Yes."

He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how do you command me to act regarding my Umrah?' Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: {And complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah}. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) then asked: 'Where is the one who asked about the Umrah?' The man replied: 'I am here.' He (pbuh) said: 'Cast off your garments and perform a ritual bath, and cleanse yourself as much as you can; and whatever you would do in your Hajj, do it in your Umrah.'"

5254 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whichever boy performs Hajj, then reaches the age of puberty, he must perform another Hajj; whichever Bedouin performs Hajj, then migrates, he must perform another Hajj; and whichever slave performs Hajj, then is manumitted, he must perform another Hajj."

By Allah, I had no other mount available to me, and I was not about to abandon Hajj."

5259 - And on the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Indeed, Allah says: 'Verily, a servant whose body I have made healthy and whose provision I have expanded, yet he does not come to Me every four years, is surely deprived.'"

He replied: 'That you submit your heart to Allah, and that the Muslims are safe from your tongue and your hand.' He asked: 'Which Islam is best?' He replied: 'Faith (Iman).' He asked: 'And what is Faith?' He replied: 'That you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the resurrection after death.' He asked: 'Which Faith is best?' He replied: 'Migration (Hijrah).' He asked: 'And what is migration?' He replied: 'That you abandon evil.' He asked: 'Which migration is best?' He replied: 'Striving (Jihad).' He asked: 'And what is striving?' He replied: 'That you fight the disbelievers when you encounter them.' He asked: 'Which striving is best?' He replied: '[That of] one whose horse is hamstrung and whose blood is shed.' The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'Then there are two deeds which are the best of deeds, except for one who does the like of them: an accepted Hajj or an Umrah.'"

And from Ma'iz, from the Prophet (pbuh) that he was asked: "Which of the deeds is best?" He said: "Faith in Allah alone, then Jihad, then an accepted Hajj, which excels over the rest of the deeds as the distance between the rising of the sun and its setting."

5275 - And on the authority of Jabir that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Indeed, this House is a pillar among the pillars of Islam.

5276 - And on the authority of Sahl bin Sa'd, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "No Muslim goes forth in the path of Allah as a mujahid, or as a pilgrim performing Hajj raising his voice with the Talbiyah or pronouncing it, except that the sun sets with his sins and he emerges from them."

It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and what are the good deeds of the Sanctuary?' He said: 'A single good deed is equivalent to a hundred thousand good deeds.'"

And from Abu Hurayrah, he said: "A group from Muzaynah, a group from Hudhayl, and a group from Juhaynah came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).

The Prophet (pbuh) said: 'For the one walking is the reward of seventy pilgrimages, and for the rider is the reward of thirty pilgrimages.'"

5280 - On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whoever heads toward this House with unlawful earnings sets out in a state of disobedience to Allah. When he raises his voice in Talbiyah and places his foot in the stirrup or the mount's treadle and his mount sets off with him, and he says: 'Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk (At Your service, O Allah, at Your service),' a caller from the heavens calls out to him: 'Neither Labbayk nor Sa'dayk (No service to you and no favor); your earnings are unlawful, your provisions are unlawful, and your mount is unlawful. Return burdened with sin, not rewarded, and receive tidings of that which will distress you.' But when a man goes out for Hajj with lawful wealth and places his foot in the stirrup, and his mount sets off with him, and he says: 'Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk,' a caller from the heavens calls out to him: 'Labbayk and Sa'dayk (At your service and at your favor); I have answered you.

5283 - And on the authority of 'Aisha, and on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Travel is a piece of torment; it prevents one of you from his sleep, his food, his drink, and his pleasure. So when one of you has fulfilled his need, let him hasten back to his family."

5284 - On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "If one of you intends to travel, let him bid farewell to his brothers; for they add goodness to his own supplication through their supplications."

5285 - On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, who said: A young man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: "I intend to travel in this direction for the Hajj." He said: So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) walked with him, raised his head toward him, and said: "O young man, may Allah provide you with piety as your provision, direct you toward goodness, and suffice you against all concern."

5293 - On the authority of (Abu) Ra'itah ibn Karamah al-Madhhiji, who said: We were with the Prophet (pbuh), and he said to a group of travelers: "Let no stray from among these cattle accompany you—meaning the lost animals—nor let any of you accompany a stray animal. Do not turn away a beggar if you desire profit and safety. And let no male sorcerer or female sorcerer, nor male soothsayer or female soothsayer, nor male astrologer or female astrologer, nor male poet or female poet accompany you from among the people if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. Verily, every punishment with which Allah intends to punish any of His servants is only sent down to the lowest heaven; therefore, I forbid you from disobeying Allah in the evening."

And from Abu Hurairah, who said: "The Prophet (pbuh) was sitting after the Maghrib prayer with his companions when a group of travelers passed by them. Their driver was reciting [the Quran] and their leader was chanting camel-songs. When the Prophet (pbuh) saw them, he stood up and hastened toward them without his cloak. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall we suffice you?' He replied: 'Leave me to convey to them what has been revealed to me regarding their matter.' He caught up with them and asked: 'Where do you intend to go at this hour?' They said: 'We intend to go to Yemen.' He said: 'Why are you traveling at this hour? For indeed, Allah has a great authority in the heaven that He directs toward the inhabitants of the earth; so do not travel even a single step, except for what a man finds in his stomach and bladder of urine from which there is no escape, and not a step beyond that. As for you, O driver of the group, you should employ some of the speech of the Arabs from their Rajaz poetry, and when you are riding, then recite [the Quran]. You should travel during the latter part of the night, for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has angels entrusted to fold the earth for the traveler just as you fold scrolls of paper. After the morning, the people praise the night-journey. Let no poet or soothsayer accompany you, nor any stray animal, and do not turn away a beggar if you desire profit, safety, and good companionship. I wonder at how I sleep when all eyes are asleep? For Allah (Mighty and Majestic) forbids you from traveling at this hour.'"

5295 - And from Anas, who said: Verily, the Prophet (pbuh) said: "When the land is fertile, dismount from your mounts and give them their right of the pasture; and when the land is barren, hasten across it with its strength; and you must travel by night, for indeed the earth is folded at night."

And on the authority of Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "If you are in fertile land, allow the riding beasts their share of the herbage and do not pass by the resting places without stopping. If you are in a state of drought, then hasten your pace. You should travel by night, for the earth is folded at night. If the ghouls appear in various forms, hasten to make the call to prayer (Adhan). Do not pray on the main paths of the road, nor camp upon them, for they are the shelter of snakes and predatory beasts. And do not relieve yourselves upon them, for they are the causes of curses."

5297 - And on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin A'idh, that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "There are three whom Allah does not love: a man who stays in a ruined house, a man who stays in the middle of a thoroughfare, and a man who lets his beast roam free and then begins supplicating to Allah to restrain it."

5298 - And from Abdullah bin Mughaffal, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "When you ride these mute beasts, then if it is a year of drought, hasten; and you must keep to traveling by night, for indeed Allah folds up the earth during the night."

5299 - And on the authority of Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from his father, from the Prophet (pbuh) who said: "Indeed, Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He is pleased with it. He grants aid for it that which He does not grant for harshness. So, when you ride these speechless beasts, alight them at their proper stations. If the land is barren, then hasten across it; for indeed the earth is folded by night in a manner it is not folded during the day. And beware of making camp on the road, for it is the pathway of animals and the refuge of serpents."

5300 - On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) leaned against a house, then exhorted the people and reminded them and said: "No one should pray after the afternoon prayer ('Asr) until nightfall, nor after the morning prayer (Subh) until the sun rises, and a woman shall not travel for a journey of three days except with a mahram, and a woman shall not be married in addition to her paternal aunt nor her maternal aunt."

5304 - On the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet (pbuh) said to his wives during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage: "This [pilgrimage], then [staying upon] the backs of the mats."

5308 - On the authority of Aslam, who said: I went out on a journey, and when I returned, Umar said to me: "Whom did you accompany?" I said: "I accompanied a man from Bakr bin Wa’il."

5311 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "Indeed, Iblis has rebellious ones among the devils to whom he says: 'Focus your efforts upon the pilgrim and the warrior in the cause of God, and lead them astray from the path.'"

And on the authority of Al-Hasan ibn al-Hadiyah, who said: I met Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he said to me: "From whom are you?" I said: "From the people of Oman." He said: "From the people of Oman?" I said: "Yes!" He said: "Shall I not narrate to you what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?" (I said: "Yes indeed," so he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)) saying: "Indeed, I know of a land—called Oman—along whose borders or sides the sea overflows; performing one Hajj from there is better than performing two Hajj from elsewhere."

Mu'awiyah said: "Umm Habibah perfumed me and claimed that she perfumed the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) upon his entering the state of Ihram." Umar said: "Go and adjure her that she must wash it off." So he returned to her and she washed it off. It was narrated by Ahmad and al-Bazzar, and the latter added after the command to wash it: "For I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: 'Indeed, the pilgrim is the one who is disheveled and unperfumed.'"

5333 - And from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "Apply perfume before you enter the state of Ihram."

5334 - And on the authority of Umm Salama, she said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Do not apply perfume while you are in the state of Ihram, and do not touch henna; for indeed, it is a perfume."

5335 - From Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "There is no harm in a man entering the state of Ihram in a garment dyed with saffron that has been washed, such that it has no shedding [of pigment] nor any staining [residue]."

5336 - And on the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whoever does not find a lower garment while in the state of Ihram, but finds trousers, let him wear them; and whoever does not find sandals, let him wear leather socks, and let him cut them below the ankles."

5337 - And from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi'ah, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattab heard the voice of Ibn al-Mughtarif - or al-Gharif - the camel driver in the middle of the night while we were traveling to Makkah. Umar urged his mount to hasten until he caught up with the people, and he [the driver] was with Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf. When dawn broke, Umar said: "Cease now! Be silent now, for dawn has risen. Remember Allah." He said: Then he noticed a pair of leather socks on Abd al-Rahman. He said: "Leather socks?" He replied: "I wore them with one who is better than you," or "with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)." Umar then said: "I adjure you that you must take them off, for I fear that the people might look at you and follow your example."

5338 - And in a narration: I have worn them both with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), without any doubt.

5339 - On the authority of Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "There is no restriction of Ihram upon the woman except in her face." It was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir and al-Awsat, and it contains Ayyub bin Muhammad al-Yamami, and he is weak.

5340 - And from Ibn 'Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "A woman in the state of ritual consecration (Ihram) shall not wear a face veil, nor shall she wear gloves, nor a burqa. If she intends to enter Ihram while she is menstruating, let her enter Ihram and stand at the ritual sites, except for the circumambulation of the House and [the traverse] between As-Safa and Al-Marwah."

5341 - And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: "The wives of the Prophet (pbuh) used to dye themselves with henna while they were in a state of Ihram, and they would wear garments dyed with safflower while they were in a state of Ihram."

5342 - And on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) used to circumambulate the House while wearing red outer wraps, and they were not deeply dyed.

And from Asma' bint Abi Bakr, that the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) used to wear tunics dyed with safflower while they were in the state of Ihram.

5344 - And it is narrated from Umaymah bint Ruqayqah, that the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) used to prepare headbands containing waras and saffron, and they would bind the lower parts of their hair away from their foreheads with them before they entered the state of Ihram, and then they would enter the state of Ihram in that condition.

5345 - And on the authority of Habba bint ‘Amr—who had prayed toward the two Qiblas with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)—that whenever she intended to enter the state of Ihram, she would place her eyes in her lap, and she would wear whatever she wished of her garments, including those dyed with safflower, and then she would raise her voice with the Talbiyah.

5346 - And on the authority of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (pbuh), who said: We used to be with the Prophet (pbuh) while we were in the state of Ihram, and the riders would pass by us, so one of us would lower the garment over her face from above her head. And she [the narrator] perhaps said: from above the headscarf.

On the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "When the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) passed through the valley of 'Usfan while performing Hajj, he said: 'O Abu Bakr, what valley is this?' He replied: 'The valley of 'Usfan.' He said: 'Indeed, Hud and Salih passed through it on young red she-camels whose halters were made of palm-fiber; their lower garments were woolen cloaks and their upper garments were striped garments, reciting the Talbiyah while performing pilgrimage to the Ancient House.'"

5348 - And on the authority of Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Seventy prophets have indeed passed by the rock of al-Rawha', among them the Prophet of Allah, Moses, barefoot and wearing woolen cloaks, heading towards the Ancient House of Allah."

5349 - And from Anas bin Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Seventy prophets passed by the rock at al-Rawha' barefoot, wearing cloaks, heading towards the Ancient House of Allah; among them was Moses, the Prophet of Allah (pbuh)."

5351 - And on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "It is as if I am looking at Moses, the son of 'Imran, in this valley, in a state of Ihram, wearing two Qatwani garments."

And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "In Masjid al-Khayf there were seventy prophets, among them was Musa (pbuh); it is as if I am looking at him wearing two Qatawani cloaks, and he is in the state of Ihram, riding a camel from the camels of Shanu’ah, reined with a halter of palm fiber, and he has two braids."

5353 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) set out in the morning on the Day of Arafah from Mina. When his mount rose with him, and upon it was a saddle-cloth that had been purchased for four dirhams, he said: "O Allah, make it a Hajj in which there is neither ostentation nor seeking of reputation."

5354 - On the authority of Anas: "That the Prophet (pbuh) entered the state of Ihram following the prayer."

5355 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Mas'ud: "That the Prophet (pbuh) raised his voice with the Talbiyah when his mount stood up and set off with him."

5356 - And on the authority of Al-Hasan bin Ali, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did both; he commenced the Talbiyah when his mount stood upright with him, and he commenced the Talbiyah while he was at Al-Baida' on the ground before his mount stood upright with him."

5357 - And on the authority of Abu Dawud al-Mazini - and Abu Dawud was from among the people of Badr - who said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and he entered the mosque of Dhu al-Hulayfah and prayed four rak'ahs therein, then he raised his voice with the Talbiyah (ahalla) at the mosque, so those who were in the mosque heard him and said: 'He raised his voice from the mosque.' And he raised his voice when he mounted his riding beast, so those who were by the mosque said: 'He raised his voice when his mount stood upright with him.' Then when he reached the level of al-Bayda', he raised his voice, so those who were upon al-Bayda' heard him and said: 'He raised his voice from al-Bayda'.' And they all spoke the truth."

5358 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin ‘Urwah, who said: "I heard Abdullah bin al-Zubayr, while we were with him having gone out to perform ‘Umrah, and when we descended from the hill into the valley, Ibn al-Zubayr performed a ritual bath and prayed two rak‘ahs, and we performed the ritual bath with him and prayed two rak‘ahs. Then he raised his voice with the Talbiyah: ‘At Your service, O Allah, at Your service; at Your service, You have no partner, at Your service; indeed, all praise and grace are Yours, and the sovereignty; You have no partner.’ Abdullah bin ‘Urwah said: I heard Ibn al-Zubayr saying: ‘By Allah, this is the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and thus did the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) act; he entered the state of Ihram at the conclusion of the prayer.’"

5359 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Talbiyah of Moses (pbuh) was: 'At Your service, Your servant and the son of Your two servants.' And the Talbiyah of Jesus (pbuh) was: 'At Your service, Your servant and the son of Your handmaid.' And the Talbiyah of the Prophet (pbuh) was: 'At Your service, You have no partner.'"

5360 - And it is narrated from Ad-Dahhak bin Muzahim, who said: "When Ibn Abbas uttered the Talbiyah, he would say: 'Labbayk, Labbayk, O Allah, Labbayk. There is no partner for You, Labbayk. Indeed, all praise and favor are Yours, as is the sovereignty; there is no partner for You.' He said: And Ibn Abbas said: '(Stop at this, for it is) the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).'"

5361 - And from ‘Amr bin Ma‘di, who said: “I saw us in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) when we performed pilgrimage to the House, we would say:
‘This is the tribe of Zubayd, having come to You by force... with lean camels traveling swiftly with them sideways.
They traverse lowlands and rugged mountains... they have left the idols empty and abandoned.’
And today we say as the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) taught us: ‘At Your service, O Allah, at Your service. At Your service, You have no partner, at Your service. Verily, all praise and favor belong to You, and the sovereignty. You have no partner.’”
It was narrated by al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Saghir, al-Kabir, and al-Awsat, except that he said: “I saw us from the tribe of Qarn, and when we performed pilgrimage, we said:
‘At Your service, in glorification to You as an excuse... this is Zubayd, having come to You by force.
They traverse lowlands and rugged mountains... they have left the rivals empty and abandoned.’
And I saw us standing in the valley of Muhassir, fearing that the Jinn would snatch us away. So the Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘Move up from the valley of ‘Uranah, for they are your brothers when they submit to Islam.’ And he taught us the Talbiyah,” and he mentioned it.
Al-Tabarani added in al-Kabir: “And we used to prevent the people from standing during the Jahiliyyah. So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) commanded us to stand between them and ‘Uranah; for their standing place was only in the valley of Muhassir on the evening of ‘Arafah for fear that the Jinn would snatch them away.” The rest is similar to it.

5362 - And on the authority of Anas, who said: The people after Ishmael were upon Islam, and Satan would speak to the people with things, intending to turn them back from Islam, until he introduced into their Talbiyah: "At Your service, O Allah, at Your service... At Your service, You have no partner... except for a partner who is Yours... You possess him and whatever he possesses." He said: And he continued until he led them out of Islam into polytheism.

5363 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: The people of polytheism used to recite the Talbiyah: "At Your service, O Allah, at Your service... At Your service, You have no partner, except for a partner that belongs to You... You possess him and whatever he possesses." Then Allah the Exalted revealed: {Do you have among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] you fear them as you fear each other?} [Ar-Rum: 28].

5364 - And on the authority of Anas, that the Prophet (pbuh) used to recite the Talbiyah: "Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner (here I am). Verily, all praise and favor are Yours, as is the dominion; You have no partner."

5365 - And on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Abi Salamah that Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) heard a man saying: "Labbayk, Owner of the Ways of Ascent (Dhu al-Ma'arij)." He said: "Indeed, He is the Owner of the Ways of Ascent, but we were with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and we did not say that."

5366 - And on the authority of Anas, who said: "The Talbiyah of the Prophet (pbuh) was: 'Labbayk, a Hajj in truth, in devotion and servitude.'"

5367 - And on the authority of Abu al-Tufayl, who said: "I saw the Prophet (pbuh) on his she-camel, al-Qaswa, raising his voice in the Talbiyah, while the people were pushing and leaning against one another, wanting to look at him."

And on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stood at 'Arafat, and when he said, "Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk," he said, "Indeed, the [true] goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter."

5369 - And from 'Amir bin Rabi'ah that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "No believer spends the day reciting the Talbiyah until the sun sets, but that it sets with his sins, and he returns as the day his mother gave birth to him."

5370 - And on the authority of Khuzaymah bin Thabit, who said: "Whenever the Prophet (pbuh) finished his Talbiyah, he would ask Allah - Mighty and Majestic - for His forgiveness and His pleasure, and seek His emancipation from the Fire."

5371 - And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), who said: "Never does a proclaimer of the Tahlil proclaim it, nor does a proclaimer of the Takbir proclaim it, except that he is given glad tidings." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, of Paradise?" He replied: "Yes."

5372 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Indeed, Gabriel (pbuh) came to me and commanded me to raise my voice with the Talbiyah."

And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Gabriel (pbuh) commanded me to raise the voice in the Ihlal; for indeed, it is among the symbols of Hajj."

And on the authority of Anas, who said: "We used to set out as pilgrims with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and we would not reach al-Rawha' the following day until our throats became hoarse—meaning: from raising our voices with the Talbiyah."

5375 - And from Ibrahim bin Khallad bin Suwayd al-Khazraji, the brother of the tribe of Banu al-Harith bin al-Khazraj, who said: Gabriel came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: "O Muhammad, raise your voice (in Talbiyah) and spill blood (in sacrifice)."

5376 - And from Khallad bin Suwayd that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Gabriel came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: 'O Muhammad, be a frequent raiser of the voice and a profuse shedder of blood.'" — meaning by al-ajj: the Talbiyah, and by al-thajj: the blood.

5377 - On the authority of al-Sa’ib ibn Khallad, that Gabriel (pbuh) came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: "Be one who raises his voice and sheds blood." Raising the voice (al-Ajj) refers to the Talbiyah, and shedding blood (al-Thajj) refers to the slaughtering of sacrificial camels. I said: It was narrated by the authors of the Sunan: "Gabriel came to me and commanded me to order my companions to raise their voices during the Talbiyah."

5378 - And on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The best of Hajj is al-Ajj and al-Thajj. As for al-Ajj, it is the Talbiyah. As for al-Thajj, it is the sacrificing of the camels."

5379 - On the authority of 'Ikrimah, who said: "I departed with Al-Husayn ibn 'Ali from Muzdalifah, and I did not cease to hear him reciting the Talbiyah until he threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah. I asked him, and he said: 'I departed with my father (peace be upon him) from Muzdalifah, and I did not cease to hear him reciting the Talbiyah until he threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah.' I asked him [the father], and he said: 'I departed with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and I did not cease to hear him reciting the Talbiyah until he threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah.'"

5380 - And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) recited the Talbiyah during the ‘Umrah until he touched the Stone, and during the Hajj until he threw the pebbles at the Jamrah.

5381 - And on the authority of Abu Wa'il Shaqiq ibn Salamah, who said: 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud recited the Talbiyah until he threw the pebbles at the Jamrah.

5384 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet (pbuh) offered a hundred sacrificial camels, covered with blankets and garlanded.

5385 - And from Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) offered one hundred sacrificial camels during his Hajj. He slaughtered thirty-three camels of them with his own hand, then he commanded Ali (peace be upon him) and he slaughtered the remainder of them. He said: 'Distribute their meat, their coverings, and their skins among the people, and do not give the butcher any of it. Take for us a piece of meat from every camel, then put them in one pot so that we may eat of their meat and sip of their broth.' So he did so."

5386 - And on the authority of Ibn 'Umar who said: "We were during the era of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and the sacrificial offerings (al-hady) among us were camels and cows."

Narrated by Ibn Abbas that the Prophet (pbuh) distributed sheep on the Day of Sacrifice among his companions and said: "Slaughter [them] for your Umrah; for it will suffice on your behalf." And Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas received a buck.

5388 - On the authority of Hudhayfah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) made seven Muslims share in a cow during his pilgrimage."

5389 - And on the authority of Anas bin Malik, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) in the year of Al-Hudaybiyyah include seven of his companions as partners in a sacrificial camel."

5390 - On the authority of al-Sha'bi, who said: I asked Ibn ‘Umar, saying: "Are the camel and the cow sufficient for seven?" He said: "O Sha'bi, and does it have seven souls?" He said: I said: "Indeed, the companions of Muhammad (pbuh) claim that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) established that the camel is for seven and the cow is for seven?" He said: So Ibn ‘Umar said to a man: "Is it so, O so-and-so?" He replied: "Yes." He said: "I was not aware of this."

5391 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The camel and the cow are for seven."

5392 - And on the authority of Anas bin Malik, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) in the year of al-Hudaybiyyah make seven of his companions share in a sacrificial camel."

5393 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The emaciated and the one-eyed are not permissible among the sacrificial camels, and beware of the one with ears cut off at the base."

5394 - On the authority of Anas, that the Prophet (pbuh) passed by Dhu al-Hulayfah and ordered that they be marked; meaning: the sacrificial camels.

5395 - And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah: "That the Prophet (pbuh) performed marking (ish'ar) and garlanding (taqlid)."

5396 - And on the authority of Ali: He was asked whether a man may ride his sacrificial animal (Hady). He replied: There is no harm in it; the Prophet (pbuh) used to pass by men who were walking and would command them to ride his sacrificial animal—the sacrificial animal of the Prophet (pbuh). He said: And you follow nothing better than the Sunnah of your Prophet (pbuh).

5397 - And from Anas, who said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) driving a sacrificial camel while barefoot. He (the Prophet) said: 'Ride it.' The man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial camel.' He said: 'Ride it.' So he rode it."

5398 - On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when he slit his shirt from its collar until he removed it through his feet. The people looked at the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and he said: 'I was commanded that my sacrificial camel which I sent be garlanded today and marked at such and such a time, but I wore a shirt and forgot, and I was not about to remove my shirt over my head.'" He had sent a sacrificial camel while he himself remained resident.

5399 - And from 'Ata' bin Yasar, from a group of people from Banu Salama, they said: "The Prophet (pbuh) was sitting, and he tore his garment and said: 'I have promised a sacrificial offering to be marked today.'"

5400 - On the authority of 'Amr ibn Kharijah al-Thumali, who said: "The Prophet (pbuh) sent sacrificial animals with me and said: 'If any of them should break down, then slaughter it, then dip its shoe in its blood and strike its flank with it, and do not eat from it, neither you nor the members of your traveling party.'"

5401 - And on the authority of Qays ibn Sa'd - who was the standard-bearer of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) - that he intended to perform Hajj, so he groomed one side of his head; and when his sacrificial animal had been garlanded, he entered the state of Ihram and then groomed the other side.

And on the authority of the Ansari—the one in charge of the sacrificial camels of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when he dispatched him—who said: I returned and said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do with those that become incapacitated among them?" He said: "Slaughter it, then dip its sandal in its blood, then place it on its side or its flank, and do not eat from it yourself, nor anyone from your traveling party."

5403 - And on the authority of Sinan ibn Salamah al-Hudhali, from his father—who had accompanied the Prophet (pbuh)—from the Prophet (pbuh) that he sent two sacrificial camels with a man and said: "If something happens to them, then slaughter them, dip the sandal in their blood, and then strike their sides with it so that it may be known that they are sacrificial camels." He said: "The sides of each one of them; and neither you nor any of your traveling companions should eat from them, and leave them for those who come after you."

5404 - And on the authority of Abu Qatada, from the Prophet (pbuh), that he was asked about a man who has a voluntary sacrificial animal with him, and it breaks down before reaching its destination? He said: "He should slaughter it, then smear its sandal with its blood, then strike its side with it. If he eats from it, he must compensate for it."

5405 - And on the authority of 'Alqama, that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud sent a sacrificial offering (hady) with him and said: "You and your companions eat one third, give one third in charity, and send one third to my brother 'Utba." I said to Sufyan: "Was it a voluntary offering?" He said: "Yes."

5406 - From Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "Five are all noxious; the person in the state of Ihram may kill them, and they may be killed in the Sanctuary: the mouse, the scorpion, the snake, the biting dog, and the crow."

5409 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Kill the gecko, even if it is inside the Kaaba."

5410 - On the authority of Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Nawfal, who said: "My father al-Harith was in charge of an affair of Mecca (during the time of Uthman, and Uthman arrived at Mecca)." Abdullah said: "I met Uthman with guest-provisions at Qudayd. The people of the watering place had hunted partridges, so we cooked them with water and salt and made them into a broth for Tharid. We presented it to Uthman and his companions, but they abstained. Uthman said: 'It is game that we did not hunt, nor did we command its hunting; a people not in the state of ritual sanctity (Hill) hunted it and fed it to us, so what is the harm?' Uthman then asked: 'Who says this [is forbidden]?' They said: 'Ali.' So he sent for Ali, and he came. Abdullah bin al-Harith said: 'It is as if I am looking at Ali when he arrived, shaking the leaves off his hands. Uthman said to him: "It is game that we did not hunt, nor did we command its hunting; a people not in the state of ritual sanctity hunted it and fed it to us, so what is the harm?" He said: Ali became angry and said: "I adjure by Allah any man who witnessed the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when he was brought the leg of a wild ass, and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'We are a people in the state of ritual sanctity (Hurum), so feed it to those not in ritual sanctity'?" He said: So twelve men from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) bore witness. Then Ali said: "I adjure by Allah any man who witnessed the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when he was brought ostrich eggs and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'We are a people in the state of ritual sanctity, so feed it to those not in ritual sanctity'?" He said: A number fewer than the twelve bore witness. He said: Then Uthman turned his hip away from the food and entered his quarters, and the people of the watering place ate that food.'

5411 - And in a narration: He was brought five ostrich eggs.

5412 - And in a narration by him also: That Uthman ibn Affan alighted at Qudayd and was brought partridges in large bowls with their legs sticking up. He sent for Ali, who was braiding a camel of his, and he came with the leaves of the Khabt tree falling from his hands. Ali refrained, and so the people refrained. He then said: "Who is here from the tribe of Ashja'? Do you know that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) with ostrich eggs and dried game meat, and he said: 'Feed them to your family, for we are in a state of Ihram'?" They said: "Yes." Thereupon, Uthman shifted his position on his seat, descended, and said: "It has become forbidden for us."

5413 - And on the authority of 'Aishah, she said: "A piece of dried gazelle meat (washiqah) was gifted to the Prophet (pbuh) while he was in a state of Ihram, so he returned it."

5414 - And on the authority of al-Bara' bin 'Azib: that the Prophet (pbuh) alighted at Marr al-Zahran, and a portion of game meat was presented to him as a gift. He returned it to the messenger and said: "Convey peace to him and tell him: Had it not been that we are in a state of Ihram, we would not have returned it to you."

5415 - On the authority of 'Umayr ibn Salamah al-Damri: That the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) passed by al-'Arj, and there he came upon a wounded wild ass. It was not long before a man from Bahz arrived and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is my catch, so do with it as you please." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) then ordered Abu Bakr to distribute it among the traveling parties. Then he proceeded until he reached 'Aqabat al-Uthayah, where he came upon a gazelle that had been struck by an arrow, lying curled up in the shade of a rock. The Prophet (pbuh) ordered a man from his companions, saying, "Stand here until the traveling parties have passed, and let no one strike it with anything."

5416 - And on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) dispatched Abu Qatada al-Ansari to collect the charity, and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and his companions set out in the state of Ihram until they descended at 'Usfan. Suddenly, they encountered an onager. Abu Qatada arrived while he was not in the state of Ihram. They lowered their heads, disliking to direct their gaze so that he might notice. However, Abu Qatada saw it, so he mounted his horse and took the spear, but the spear fell from him. He said: 'Hand it to me.' They said: 'We will not assist you in this.' So he charged at it and slaughtered it, and they began roasting some of it. Then they said: 'The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) is ahead of us.' He had preceded them, so they caught up with him and asked him, and he saw no objection to it. He (the narrator) said: 'I think he said: "Do you have any of it with you?"'" — 'Ubaydullah was in doubt.

5417 - And on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Prophet (pbuh) granted a concession regarding the meat of hunted game for the person in the state of ihram.

And on the authority of Abu Musa that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The meat of game is permissible for you as long as you do not hunt it yourselves or it is not hunted for you while you are in the state of Ihram."

5419 - On the authority of Mus‘ab al-Makki, who said: I reached Anas bin Malik, Zayd bin Arqam, and al-Mughirah bin Shu‘bah, and I heard them narrating that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Allah commanded a tree on the night of the cave, so it grew before the Prophet (pbuh) and shielded him. He commanded the spider, and it wove its web before the Prophet (pbuh) and shielded him. Allah commanded two wild pigeons, and they perched at the mouth of the cave. Then the youth of Quraysh approached from every clan with their sticks, clubs, and swords. When they were within forty cubits of the Prophet (pbuh), one of them hurried and looked into the cave. He saw the two pigeons at the mouth of the cave and returned to his companions. They asked, 'What is the matter with you?' He replied, 'I saw two pigeons at the mouth of the cave, so I knew there was no one inside.' The Prophet (pbuh) heard what he said and realized that Allah had warded them off from him through them. So he supplicated for them, blessed them, mandated their protection, and they were established within the Sanctuary."

And on the authority of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said—and I do not think of it except that he attributed it back to the Prophet (pbuh)—: "He ruled regarding the hyena killed by a person in the state of ihram that the penalty is a sheep, regarding the rabbit a young female goat, regarding the jerboa a four-month-old kid, and regarding the gazelle a ram."

5421 - And from Qabisah bin Jabir, who said: I was in the state of Ihram (pilgrim sanctity) and I saw a gazelle, so I shot it and hit the bone behind its ear—meaning the base of its horn—and it fell dead on the spot. I felt some unease within myself regarding that, so I went to Umar bin al-Khattab to ask him. I found next to him a fair-skinned man with a delicate face, who turned out to be Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he turned toward Abd al-Rahman and said, "Do you think a sheep is sufficient for him?" He replied, "Yes." So he ordered me to slaughter a sheep. When we stood up to leave his presence, a companion of mine said, "The Commander of the Faithful was not able to provide you a verdict until he asked the man." Umar heard part of his speech and struck him with a whip, then he approached me to strike me. I said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I did not say anything; it was only he who said it." So he let me be and then said, "Do you seek to kill game while in the state of sanctity and then disparage the legal verdict?" Then he said, "Indeed, in a human being there are ten characteristics: nine are good and one is bad, and that bad one corrupts them." Then he said, "Beware of the corruption of bad traits."

5422 - And in another narration: He leaned towards a man; by Allah, it was as if his face were a heart.

5423 - On the authority of 'Aishah, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) underwent cupping while he was in a state of Ihram.

5424 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas: "The Prophet (pbuh) underwent cupping while he was in a state of Ihram due to a pain that he had, and he used the siwak while he was in a state of Ihram."

5425 - On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, that he “did not see any harm in the money belt for the person in a state of Ihram.” Ibn ‘Abbas narrated that from the Prophet (pbuh).

5426 - And on the authority of Uthman bin Affan regarding the person in the state of ritual consecration (Muhrim) who enters an orchard and smells sweet basil (Rayhan).

5427 - On the authority of Abu Umamah al-Bahili, from someone who saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), that he departed for Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah, and by his side was Bilal, in whose hand was a stick with a cloth upon it, shading the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) with it.

5428 - And al-Tabarani narrated in al-Kabir: on the authority of Abu Umamah, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) departed from Makkah to Mina on the Day of al-Tarwiyah, preceding his procession, and by his side was Bilal, with him was a cloth tied to a stick to shield him from the (heat of) the sun.

5429 - On the authority of Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, that he said: "O Abu Abbas, what do you say about your statement: 'No man performs Hajj without bringing the sacrificial animal with him and then circumambulates the House except that he must exit Ihram by performing Umrah, and no pilgrim ever circumambulated it who had brought the sacrificial animal with him except that Hajj and Umrah were combined for him, yet the people do not say this?' He replied: 'Woe to you! Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) set out, and those of his companions who were with him mentioned nothing but Hajj. Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) commanded whoever did not have the sacrificial animal with him to circumambulate the House and exit Ihram for Umrah. A man from among them began to say: "O Messenger of Allah, is it not only Hajj?" The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would say: "It is not Hajj, but rather it is Umrah."'"

5430 - And from Ibn ‘Umar that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) arrived at Makkah while he and his companions were reciting the Talbiyah—‘Affan said: 'reciting the Ihlal'—for Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'Whoever wishes to make it an ‘Umrah may do so, except for those who have brought a sacrificial animal with them.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall one of us go to Mina while his private part is dripping with semen?' He said: 'Yes.' And the scent of incense burners spread. ‘Ali arrived from Yemen, and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'With what did you enter the state of Ihram?' He replied: 'I entered Ihram with whatever the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) entered Ihram with.' Rawh said: [The Prophet] said: 'Then stay (in Ihram), for you have a sacrificial animal with us.' Humayd said: 'I narrated this to Tawus, and he said: "This is what the people did."' (‘Affan said: 'Make it an ‘Umrah')."

5431 - And on the authority of al-Bara’, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and his companions set out, and we entered the state of Ihram for Hajj. When we arrived in Makkah, he said: "Make your Hajj an Umrah." Some people said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have entered the state of Ihram for Hajj, so how can we make it an Umrah?" He said: "Consider what I command you to do and do it." He [the narrator] said: But they repeated their words back to him. So he became angry and then went until he entered upon ‘Aishah while he was angry. He said: She recognized the anger in his face and said: "Whoever has angered you, may Allah anger him!" He said: "Why should I not be angry when I issue a command and it is not followed?"

And on the authority of Ma'qil bin Yasar, who said: We performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and we found Aisha taking off her garments. He said to her: "What is the matter with you?" She said: "I was informed that you have exited the state of Ihram and have allowed your family to exit Ihram." He said: "Only those who do not have a sacrificial animal with them have exited Ihram. As for us, we shall not exit Ihram—for indeed we have sacrificial camels with us—until we reach Arafat."

And on the authority of Sahl bin Hunayf, who said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) as pilgrims, and we entered into the state of Ihram for the Hajj. When we arrived at Makkah, he commanded us to make it an Umrah."

5434 - And from Urwa ibn al-Zubayr that he came to Ibn Abbas and said: O Ibn Abbas, for how long you have been leading the people astray! He replied: And what is that, O Urayyah? He said: A man sets out in the state of Ihram for Hajj or Umrah, then when he performs Tawaf, you claim that he has exited the state of Ihram, whereas Abu Bakr and Umar used to forbid that? He said: Woe to you! Are they more authoritative in your view or what is in the Book of Allah and what the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) established as a Sunnah among his companions and his nation? Urwa said: They were more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah and what the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) established as a Sunnah than me and you. Ibn Abi Mulayka said: Thus, Urwa defeated him in the argument.

5435 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Hilal al-Muzani - a companion of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) - who said: "It is not for anyone after us to enter the state of Ihram for Hajj, then annul his Hajj with an Umrah."

5436 - On the authority of Tariq ibn Shihab, who said: A woman from among us intended to perform Hajj, and she wanted to join an Umrah along with her Hajj, so she asked Abdullah? He said: I do not find this except [to be during] the months of Hajj. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: "Hajj is [during] well-known months."

5437 - On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "There is no sarurah (celibacy or abstaining from Hajj) in Islam."

5438 - And on the authority of al-Qasim, who said: 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: None of you should say: 'I am a sarurah' (one who has not performed the pilgrimage), for the Muslim is not a sarurah. And none of you should say: 'I am a pilgrim (hajj)'; rather, the pilgrim is only the one in a state of ihram. Instead, let him say: 'I intend [to go to] Mecca.'

On the authority of Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, that he was afflicted with an ailment in his head, so he asked the Prophet (pbuh): "With what shall I perform the sacrifice?" So he commanded him to offer a sacrificial animal and to garland it, then to drive it until he stands with it at 'Arafah with the people, then depart with it with the people (and likewise is done with the sacrificial animal).

5440 - And on the authority of Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, who said: "The vermin of my head caused me harm, so I came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and asked him about that. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic is His mention, revealed: {And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of his head, then a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice} [Al-Baqarah: 196]. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) summoned me and said: 'Do you have a faraq to distribute among six poor persons—and a faraq is three sa'—or a sacrifice of a sheep, or the fasting of three days?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, choose for me.' He said: 'Feed six poor persons.'"

5441 - On the authority of al-Hirmas, who said: I was riding behind my father, and I saw the Prophet (pbuh) on a camel, while he was saying: "Labbayk (at Your service) for a Hajj and an Umrah together."

5442 - And from Anas bin Malik, he said: "We went out proclaiming the Hajj loudly. When we arrived in Mecca, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) commanded us to make it an Umrah, and he said: 'If I had known at the beginning of my affair what I knew at its end, I would have made it an Umrah, but I have brought the sacrificial animal and combined the Hajj and the Umrah.'"

5443 - And on the authority of Suraqah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying: "Umrah has entered into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection." He said: And the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed the combined pilgrimage (Qiran) (during the Farewell Pilgrimage).

5444 - And on the authority of Abu ‘Imran Aslam, who said: "I performed Hajj with my patrons, and I entered upon Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (pbuh). I said: 'Should I perform Umrah before I perform Hajj?' She said: 'If you wish, perform Umrah before you perform Hajj, and if you wish, perform it after you perform Hajj.' He said: I said: 'Indeed, they say: Whoever is a Sarurah (one who has not performed Hajj before), it is not proper for him to perform Umrah before he performs Hajj.' He said: So I asked the Mothers of the Believers, and they said the same as she had said. (So I returned to her), and I informed her of their statement. He said: She then said: 'Yes, and I shall satisfy your inquiry; I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying: "O family of Muhammad, assume Ihram for Umrah during the Hajj."'"

5445 - And from 'Amr bin Shu'ayb, from his father, (from his grandfather), that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) only performed the Qiran pilgrimage out of fear that he might be barred from the House, and he said: "If it is not a Hajj, then it is an Umrah."

5446 - And from Ibn Abi Awfa, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) only combined the Hajj and the 'Umrah because he knew that he would not perform Hajj after that.

5447 - And on the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed Hajj after he emigrated one single Hajj, and he did not perform Hajj after it: the Farewell Pilgrimage.

And on the authority of al-Hasan, that Umar ibn al-Khattab intended to forbid the Mut'ah of Hajj, so Ubayy said to him: "That is not within your right; we performed Mut'ah with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)." Consequently, Umar desisted. It was narrated by Ahmad.

5449 - And on the authority of Abu Shaykh al-Huna'i, that Mu'awiya said to a group of the companions of the Prophet (pbuh): "Do you know that the Prophet (pbuh) forbade Mut'ah? - meaning: the Mut'ah of Hajj - They said: No."

5450 - On the authority of Abd Allah bin Sharik al-Amiri, who said: I heard Abd Allah bin Umar, Abd Allah bin Abbas, and Abd Allah bin al-Zubayr being asked about performing Umrah before Hajj in Tamattu'. They said: "Yes, it is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). You arrive and perform Tawaf around the House and between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then you exit the state of Ihram—even if that is one day before the Day of Arafah. Then you enter the state of Ihram for Hajj, and thus you would have combined an Umrah and a Hajj, or Allah has combined for you an Umrah and a Hajj."

5451 - And on the authority of 'Amir bin Rabi'ah that the Prophet (pbuh) performed Hajj singly.

And on the authority of Jabir, that the Prophet (pbuh) arrived and combined the Hajj and the 'Umrah, and he brought along the sacrificial animal and said: "Whoever has not garlanded the sacrificial animal, let him make it an 'Umrah."

5454 - And from Abu Dawud, who said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). When we reached Dhu al-Hulayfah, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) entered the mosque and prayed two rak'ahs, then entered the state of ihram for Hajj and Umrah together immediately following the prayer."

5455 - And on the authority of Aisha, she said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Had I not brought a sacrificial animal, I would have exited the state of Ihram." And he had entered the state of Ihram for both Umrah and Hajj.

5456 - And on the authority of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: "I was with 'Ali when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) appointed him over Yemen, and I obtained some ounces [of wealth] with him. When he arrived to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), Fatimah said: 'I have scented the house with perfume.' She then said: 'What is the matter with you? Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has commanded his companions and they have exited the state of ihram.' He said: 'I said to her: I have entered the state of ihram with the same intention as the Prophet (pbuh).' He said: 'For I have brought the sacrificial animals and performed Qiran (combined Hajj and Umrah).' And he (pbuh) said to his companions: 'If I had known at the beginning of my affair what I came to know at its end, I would have done as you have done; however, I have brought the sacrificial animals and performed Qiran.' Then he said: 'Slaughter sixty-seven or sixty-six of the camels, and keep for yourself thirty-three or thirty-four, and take a piece of meat from every camel.'"

5457 - And on the authority of Ali—meaning Ibn Abi Talib—who said: "I do not recall us as anything other than having gone out as pilgrims, declaring the intention for Hajj, and neither the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) nor Umar exited the state of ihram until they had circumambulated the House and [performed the rites between] al-Safa and al-Marwa."

5458 - On the authority of Aisha that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Whoever fasts the days during the Hajj and does not find a sacrificial animal when performing Tamattu', then it is the period between the entering of Ihram of one of you until the Day of Arafah, which is the last of them."

5459 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet (pbuh) used to call the Farewell Pilgrimage: "The Pilgrimage of Islam."

5460 - On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas: "That the Prophet (pbuh) changed the two garments of Ihram at at-Tan'im when he entered Mecca."

5461 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "Hands are not to be raised except in seven instances: when beginning the prayer, when entering the Sacred Mosque and looking at the House, when standing on al-Safa, when standing on al-Marwa, when standing with the people on the evening of Arafah and at al-Jam' (Muzdalifah) and the two stations, and when throwing the pebbles."

5462 - On the authority of Hudhayfah bin Asid that the Prophet (pbuh), when he looked at the House, would say: "O Allah, increase this House of Yours in honor, greatness, nobility, righteousness, and awe."

5463 - On the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) entered, and we entered with him, from the house of Banu Abd Manaf, which is that which the people call the Gate of Banu Shaybah; and we exited with him toward Medina from the Gate of Al-Harurah, which is the Gate of the Wheat-merchants."

5464 - On the authority of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, that the Prophet (pbuh) sent him with the declaration of 'Bara'ah' (Dissociation) to the people of Mecca: "No polytheist shall perform pilgrimage after this year, nor shall any naked person circumambulate the House, and none shall enter Paradise except a Muslim soul. For anyone who has a treaty with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), its term shall last until its designated duration; and Allah and His Messenger are free from obligation to the polytheists." He [the narrator] said: So he [Abu Bakr] proceeded with it for three days, then he [the Prophet] said to 'Ali (pbuh): "Catch up with him, send Abu Bakr back to me, and deliver it [the message] yourself." He said: So he did so. When Abu Bakr returned to the Prophet (pbuh), he wept and said: "O Messenger of Allah, has something occurred concerning me?" He replied: "Nothing has occurred concerning you except good, but I have been commanded that no one should deliver it except myself or a man from me."

5465 - From Nafi’, who said: When Ibn Umar entered the nearest part of the Sanctuary (Haram), he would cease the Talbiyah. When he reached Dhu Tuwa, he would spend the night there until morning, then perform the dawn prayer and perform a ritual bath (ghusl), and he would relate that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to do so. Then he would enter Makkah in the forenoon, come to the House, touch the Stone and say: "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest." Then he would perform Raml (brisk walking) for three circuits, walking between the two corners, and whenever he came upon the Stone, he touched it and uttered the Takbir. Then he performed four circuits walking. Then he would come to the Station (Maqam Ibrahim) and pray two rak'ahs. Then he would return to the Stone and touch it. Then he would go out to al-Safa through the Greatest Gate, stand upon it, and say the Takbir seven times—three times he would say the Takbir and then say: "There is no deity but Allah alone, having no partner; to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things powerful."

5466 - And on the authority of Abu al-Tufayl that the Prophet (pbuh) performed ramal (brisk walking) from the Stone to the Stone.

5467 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked in the year he performed Hajj about the ramal (brisk walking), and he said: 'Indeed, Allah has prescribed for you the sa'y (striving), so perform the sa'y.'"

5468 - And from Sahl bin Hunayf, that when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed 'Umrah and was on the road, he said: "If only we could find a fat camel, slaughter it, and eat it so that they (the polytheists) may see our strength." Umar bin al-Khattab said: "O Messenger of Allah, call for the provisions of the people, then supplicate over them, for Allah will surely bless them." So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did that. Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "When you arrive, perform raml (fast walking) for the first three circuits so that you may show your strength." And on that day, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Give glad tidings to the people that whoever says: 'There is no god but Allah,' Paradise becomes mandatory for him."

5469 - And on the authority of Hilal bin Zaid, who said: "I saw Anas bin Malik during the pace around the House in the three [initial] circuits walking between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Corner in Hajj and Umrah. Then I heard Anas bin Malik say: 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) do.'"

5470 - And on the authority of Ali, that whenever he touched the Black Stone, he would say: "O Allah, out of faith in You, belief in Your Book, and in following the Sunnah of Your Prophet (pbuh)."

5471 - And on the authority of Nafi', who said: Whenever Ibn 'Umar touched the Stone, he would say: "O Allah, [I do this] out of faith in You, belief in Your Book, and the Sunnah of Your Prophet." Then he would invoke blessings upon the Prophet (pbuh).

5472 - And from Ya'la bin Umayyah, who said: "I performed circumambulation (Tawaf) with Umar bin al-Khattab, and when I was at the corner that follows the door, on the side toward the Hijr, I took his hand so that he might touch it (the corner). He said: 'Did you not perform circumambulation with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Did you see him touch it?' I said [no]. He said: 'Then pass it by, for indeed, you have in the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) an excellent example.'"

5473 - And on the authority of Ya'la, who said: "I performed circumambulation with Uthman and we touched the Corner. Ya'la said: I was on the side closer to the House, and when we reached the western corner that follows the Black Stone, I pulled his hand so that he might touch it. He said: 'What is the matter with you?' I said: 'Will you not touch it?' He said: 'Did you not perform circumambulation with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?' I said: 'Yes, I did.' He said: 'And did you see him touch these two western corners?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Is there not for you in him an excellent example?!' I said: 'Indeed.' He said: 'Then move past it.'"

5474 - And on the authority of Abu al-Tufayl, who said: Mu'awiyah and Ibn 'Abbas arrived, and Ibn 'Abbas touched all the corners [of the Ka'bah]. Mu'awiyah said to him: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) only touched the two Yamani corners." Ibn 'Abbas replied: "None of its corners is to be forsaken."

5475 - And it is narrated from Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Umayr that he heard his father saying to Ibn Umar: "Why is it that I do not see you touching except these two corners: the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner?" Ibn Umar replied: "If I do so, it is because I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: 'Indeed, touching them wipes away sins.'" He said: "And I heard him say: 'Whoever performs circumambulation for seven circuits, counting them, and prays two units of prayer, it shall be for him equivalent to freeing a slave.'" He said: "And I heard him say: 'A man does not lift a foot nor place it down except that ten good deeds are recorded for him, ten evil deeds are removed from him, and he is raised ten degrees.'"

5476 - And on the authority of Umar ibn al-Khattab that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to him: "O Umar, you are a strong man, so do not crowd at the Stone, for you may harm the weak. If you find an opening, then touch it; otherwise, face it, declare the oneness of Allah, and declare His greatness."

5477 - And on the authority of Abu Ya’fur al-‘Abdi, who said: I heard a man at the departure of the pilgrims from Mecca saying: Indeed, Umar used to crowd at the Corner.

And on the authority of ‘Amir bin Rabi‘ah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did not touch any of the corners except the Yemeni Corner and the Black Corner."

5479 - And on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Awf, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "How did you act regarding the touching of the two corners?" I said: "I have done all of that; I touched [them] and I left [them]." He said: "You have done correctly."

5480 - And on the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: "I saw Umar ibn al-Khattab kiss the Stone and prostrate upon it, then he returned and kissed it and prostrated upon it, then he said: 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) do.'"

5481 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to kiss the (Yemeni) Corner and place his cheek upon it."

5482 - And on the authority of Sa'd ibn Tariq, from his father, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) circumambulating the House, and when the people crowded around the Stone, he touched it with a hooked staff in his hand."

5483 - And on the authority of Zayd ibn Jubayr that a man mentioned the Stone and its touching to Ibn 'Umar, asking, "What if a barrier is placed between me and it such that we are unable to touch it?" 'Abdullah replied, "We used to tap it with sticks whenever we were unable to touch it."

5484 - And from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr, he said: Perform circumambulation (Tawaf) around this House and touch this Stone, for indeed they were two stones sent down from Paradise; one of them was raised up, and the other shall be raised up. If it is not as I have said, then whoever passes by my grave let him say: "This is the grave of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr the liar."

5485 - And in a narration: On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr also, who said: Gabriel (peace be upon him) descended with this stone from Paradise, so derive benefit from it, for you will not cease to be in a state of goodness as long as it remains in your midst; for indeed, it is near that he will come and return with it to from where he brought it.

5486 - On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "The Corner [the Black Stone] will come on the Day of Resurrection larger than Abu Qubais, possessing a tongue and two lips." It was narrated by Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Awsat, and he added: "It will testify for whoever touched it in truth, and it is the right hand of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with which He shakes hands with His creation."

5487 - And on the authority of Aisha, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Call this stone to witness for good; for indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, it will be an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. It has a tongue and two lips, testifying for whoever touched it."

5488 - And on the authority of Anas, from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), he said: "The Black Stone is from the stones of Paradise."

5489 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Allah will resurrect the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner on the Day of Resurrection, and they will have two eyes, a tongue, and two lips, testifying for whoever touched them with faithfulness."

5490 - And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh) who said: "The Black Stone is from the stones of Paradise, and there is nothing on earth from Paradise other than it. It used to be white as crystal, and had it not been for the filth of the pre-Islamic Ignorance that touched it, no person with an ailment would touch it but that they would be healed."

5491 - And on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Were it not for what has touched the Corner [the Black Stone] of the impurities and filth of the Pre-Islamic period (Jahiliyyah) and the hands of the oppressors and sinners, whoever had an ailment would have sought healing through it."

And from Ibn Abbas, he said: The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Had it not been for what touched the Corner of the impurities and filth of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, and the hands of the oppressors and sinners, whoever possessed an ailment would have been healed by it, and it would have been found today in the same state as on the day God created it. Indeed, He only changed it with blackness so that the people of the Fire would not look upon the adornment of Paradise, and it shall surely return to it. Verily, it is a ruby from the rubies of Paradise, which God placed when He sent down Adam at the site of the Kaaba (before the Kaaba existed), while the earth on that day was pure, no acts of disobedience had been committed upon it, and it had no inhabitants to defile it. Thus, a rank of angels was stationed at the boundaries of the Sanctuary to guard it from the inhabitants of the earth—and its inhabitants on that day were the Jinn—as it was not fitting for them to look upon it, because it is something from Paradise; and whoever looks upon something from Paradise shall enter it. So it is not fitting for anyone to look upon it except those for whom Paradise has become mandatory. The angels were driving them away from it, standing at the boundaries of the Sanctuary, repelling them from every side. For that reason, it was named the Sanctuary (al-Haram), because they intervened between them and it."

5493 - And from Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: The Black Stone descended from heaven and was placed upon Abu Qubays as if it were a white wild cow. It remained for forty years, and then it was placed upon the foundations of Abraham.

5494 - On the authority of Qudamah bin Abdullah, who said: "I saw the Prophet (pbuh) on a she-camel, touching the Corner with his hooked staff."

5495 - And from Ibn Umar, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed circumambulation on his mount on the day of the conquest of Makkah, touching the corners with a hooked stick that was with him."

5496 - And on the authority of Abu Rafi', he said: "I saw the Prophet (pbuh) circumambulating the House upon his mount, touching the Corner with his hooked staff."

5497 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Hanzalah, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) circumambulating the House upon his mount, touching the Corner with his hooked staff."

5498 - And on the authority of Abu Malik al-Ashja'i, from his father, that the Prophet (pbuh) performed circumambulation around the House upon his mount, touching the Corner with his hooked staff.

5500 - On the authority of 'Amir bin Rabi'ah, that the Prophet (pbuh) was circumambulating the House, and the strap of his sandal broke.

5501 - Narrated by Jabir ibn Abd Allah, who said: "The Prophet (pbuh) performed circumambulation (Tawaf) around the House during his pilgrimage upon his she-camel, al-Jad'a', while Abd Allah ibn Umm Maktum was holding its halter, reciting poetry."

5502 - And from 'Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'ah, who said: "I saw 'Abd al-Rahman bin 'Awf circumambulating the House while chanting rhythmic poetry and wearing leather socks. 'Umar said to him: 'I do not know which of the two is more astonishing: your chanting around the House, or your circumambulating in your leather socks?' He replied: 'I did this during the time of one who was better than you, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and he did not find fault with me for that.'"

5505 - On the authority of Abu al-Zubayr, who said: I asked Jabir about circumambulation of the Ka'bah, and he said: We used to circumambulate and touch the Corner at the beginning and at the end, and we did not use to circumambulate after the morning prayer until the sun rose, nor after the afternoon prayer until it set. And he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: "The sun rises within the horn of Satan."

And from Jabir, from the Prophet (pbuh), that he said: "O children of Abd Manaf, do not prevent anyone from performing circumambulation around this House at any hour of the night or day, and praying."

5510 - And on the authority of Anas bin Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "There are two circumambulations for which the sins of their performer are forgiven, no matter how great they may be: a circumambulation after the Dawn (Subh) prayer, the completion of which is at sunrise, and a circumambulation after the Afternoon ('Asr) prayer, the completion of which is at sunset." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, what if it is before that or after it?" He said: "It is joined to it."

5514 - On the authority of Sa'd bin Malik, who said: "We performed circumambulation with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh); some of us performed seven circuits, some of us performed eight, and some of us performed more than that. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: 'There is no blame.'"

5515 - On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) recited before dawn, then he prayed six rak'ahs, turning his head to the right and left after every two rak'ahs, so we thought that there were two rak'ahs for every set of seven, and he did not perform the taslim."

5516 - From Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "The area between the Corner and the Station is a place of adherence (Multazam); no person afflicted with an ailment supplicates there except that he is healed."

5517 - And on the authority of Al-Mughira bin Abi Hakim, who said: While we were sitting with Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Khaythama, a man came and performed circumambulation around the House, then performed two units of prayer in the courtyard of the House. When he finished, he stood up and clung to the House. When he [Abdullah] saw him, he said: "This is what you have newly introduced; we did not use to do it." Then he said: "He was not satisfied until he struck it with his backside." Then another man came, and when he reached the gate of the mosque, he raised his hands and faced the House as if he were supplicating. He [Abdullah] said: "This is what you have newly introduced; we did not use to do it." So I asked Abdullah bin Sa'd: "Did you witness Badr?" He said: "Yes, and Al-Aqabah with my father."

5518 - On the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did not circumambulate anything except that it was part of the House."

5523 - And on the authority of Safiyyah bint Shaybah that a woman informed her that she heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) between al-Safa and al-Marwah saying: "Sa'y (striving) has been prescribed for you, so perform the Sa'y."

5525 - And on the authority of the mother of a child (Umm Walad) of Shaybah that she saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performing Sa'y between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah and saying: "The Abtah is not crossed except by running intensely."

5529 - On the authority of Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) exited from the mosque to al-Safa from the gate of Bani Makhzum.

5530 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Ansar said: "Indeed, the pacing between al-Safa and al-Marwa is from the matters of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (Jahiliyyah)." So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs Umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them."

And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: "There is no blame upon him to perform the circumambulation between them (Safa and Marwa) as a voluntary act; so whoever omits it, there is no harm."

5532 - And from Abu al-Tufayl, who said: I said to Ibn Abbas: "Your people claim that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed Sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwa and that it is a Sunnah?" He said: "They have spoken the truth; indeed, when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded with the rites of pilgrimage, Satan intercepted him at the place of Sa'i, so he raced against him, and Ibrahim outpaced him."

And from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (pbuh), when he performed the pacing (Sa'y) in the middle of the valley, used to say: "O Allah, forgive and have mercy, and You are the Mightiest, the Most Generous."

5534 - And on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Tariq bin Alqama, from his uncle, that the Prophet (pbuh), whenever he reached a certain place in the house of Ya'la—Ubayd Allah traced his lineage—he would face the House and supplicate.

5535 - From Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Thaqafi who said: I witnessed the sermon of Ibn al-Zubayr during the [Hajj] season. He said: We did not realize until a man appeared to us a day before the Day of Tarwiyah, while he was in a state of Ihram—a man with the appearance of a handsome middle-aged man. He approached, and they said: "This is he, O Commander of the Faithful." He ascended the pulpit wearing two white garments, then he offered them the greeting of peace and they returned it. Then he recited the Talbiyah in the most beautiful manner I have ever heard. Then he praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: "As for what follows: Indeed, you have come from distant horizons as delegations to Allah the Exalted, and it is a right upon Allah to honor His delegation. Whoever comes seeking what is with Allah, then the seeker of Allah shall not be disappointed. Therefore, verify your words with your actions, for the pillar of speech is action, and let the intention, the intention, be in the hearts. Fear Allah, fear Allah during these days of yours, for they are days in which sins are forgiven. You have come from distant horizons, not for trade, nor seeking wealth, nor for the worldly life that you hope for here." Then he recited the Talbiyah, and the people recited it, and he spoke many words. Then he said: "As for what follows: Indeed, Allah—Mighty and Majestic—said in His Book: 'Hajj is [during] well-known months' [al-Baqarah: 197]. He said: They are three months: Shawwal, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. '(Whoever has made the Hajj obligatory upon himself therein, there is no Rafath),' meaning no sexual intercourse; '(and no Fusuq),' meaning no verbal abuse; '(and no Jidal),' meaning no disputing; '(And whatever good you do, Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is Taqwa).' And He—Mighty and Majestic—said: 'There is no blame upon you (to seek bounty from your Lord)' [al-Baqarah: 198], so He permitted trade for them. Then He said: 'But when you depart from 'Arafat' [al-Baqarah: 198], which is the standing place where they stand until the sun sets, then they depart from it: 'then remember Allah at the Sacred Monument (al-Mash'ar al-Haram)' [al-Baqarah: 198]. He said: These are the mountains where they stand at al-Muzdalifah. 'And remember Him, as He has guided you.' He said: This was not for this day; this was for the people of the city [Mecca] who used to depart from Jam', while the people departed from 'Arafat. So Allah forbade that for them and revealed: 'Then depart from where the people depart' [al-Baqarah: 199] until [the mention of] (your rites). They said: And when they finished their Hajj, they used to boast about their ancestors, so Allah—Mighty and Majestic—revealed to all: 'And remember Allah like your remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have no share in the Hereafter. But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire"' [al-Baqarah: 200-201]. He said: They work in their worldly life for their Hereafter, their obligations, and their worldly life. He said: Then he recited until he reached: 'And remember Allah during [specific] numbered days' [al-Baqarah: 203]. He said: These are the days of Tashreeq, and the remembrance of Allah during them is through glorification (Tasbih), praise (Tahmid), declaring His oneness (Tahlil), declaring His greatness (Takbir), and exalting Him (Tamjid). He said: Then he mentioned the places of starting Ihram (Mahall) for the people. He said: The place for the people of Madinah is from Dhu al-Hulayfah, the place for the people of Iraq is from al-Aqiq, the place for the people of Najd and the people of Ta'if is from Qarn, and the people of Yemen from Yalamlam. He said: Then he supplicated against the disbelievers of the People of the Book, saying: 'O Allah, punish the disbelievers of the People of the Book who deny Your signs, belie Your messengers, and avert [others] from Your path. O Allah, punish them, and make their hearts like the hearts of immoral women'—amidst a lengthy supplication. Then he said: 'Indeed, there are men here whose hearts Allah has blinded just as He has blinded their sight; they issue fatwas regarding Mut'ah [of Hajj], stating that a man arrives from Khurasan entering Ihram for Hajj, and when he arrives, they say: "Exit your Hajj for Umrah, then enter Ihram for Hajj from here." By Allah, Mut'ah was only for the one who was prevented.' Then he recited the Talbiyah and the people recited it, and I never saw a day with more weeping than that day.

5536 - On the authority of Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to prefer, if he was able, to pray Dhuhr in Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah, and that was because the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) prayed Dhuhr on the Day of Tarwiyah in Mina.

5537 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said one day before the Day of Tarwiya: "Our lodging tomorrow, if Allah wills, shall be at al-Khayf al-Ayman, where the polytheists took an oath upon disbelief."

5538 - And on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, who said: It is part of the Sunnah for the pilgrim to pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr at Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah, then set out in the morning and proceed to wherever Allah has ordained for him, then depart when the sun passes its zenith and address the people, then descend and combine the two prayers, Dhuhr and Asr, then stand at Arafah and depart when the sun sets, then pray Maghrib wherever Allah has decreed for him to pray, then stand at Muzdalifah, and when dawn breaks, pray Fajr, then depart when it becomes light, and when he stones the Jamrah, everything that was forbidden to him becomes permissible except for women, until he performs the circumambulation of the House.

5539 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: Gabriel took Ibrahim (pbuh) to Mina and prayed with him the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers. Then he departed from Mina to Arafat and prayed the two prayers with him, then stood until the sun set. Then he brought him to al-Muzdalifah, where he alighted and spent the night. He then said: So he prayed as quickly as any of the Muslims would pray. Then he proceeded with him to Mina, where he performed the stoning, sacrificed, and shaved his head. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to Muhammad (pbuh): "Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright, and he was not of the polytheists."

5540 - On the authority of Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "All of Arafat is a standing place, but stay away from the valley of Uranah; and all of Muzdalifah is a standing place, but stay away from Muhassir; and all the paths of Mina are a place of sacrifice; and all the days of Tashriq are for slaughtering."

5541 - On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "Arafah is all a place of standing, and Mina is all a place of sacrifice."

5542 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "All of Muzdalifah is a sanctuary, but keep away from the interior of Uranah; and all of Arafat is a place of standing, but keep away from the valley of Muhassir."

5543 - And on the authority of Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas - I do not know it except that he said -: The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Hajj is Arafat."

5544 - And on the authority of Rabi'ah ibn 'Abbad, from his father, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) standing with the polytheists at 'Arafat, then I saw him after he was commissioned as a Prophet standing in that same standing-place of his, so I knew that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had guided him to that."

5545 - And from Abd al-Aziz bin Qays al-Abdi, who said: I heard Ibn Abbas saying: “A certain man was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) on the day of Arafah, and the youth began to observe the women and look at them. He said: And the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) began to turn his [the youth's] face with his hand from behind him repeatedly. He said: And the youth continued to observe them. He said: So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to him: ‘O son of my brother, indeed this is a day such that whoever controls his hearing, his sight, and his tongue during it, he shall be forgiven.’”

5546 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As, that the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, boasts to His angels about the people of Arafah on the evening of Arafah, saying: 'Look at My servants; they have come to Me disheveled and dusty.'"

5547 - And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Indeed, Allah boasts to the angels about the people of Arafat, saying: 'Look at My servants, disheveled and dusty.'"

5548 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Mas'ud, from the Prophet (pbuh), who said: "Whoever says these ten words a thousand times on the night of 'Arafah, he shall not ask Allah for anything except that He grants it to him, unless it involves the severing of kinship ties or a sin: 'Glory be to Him Whose Throne is in the heaven; Glory be to Him Whose treading is in the earth; Glory be to Him Whose path is in the sea; Glory be to Him Whose authority is in the Fire; Glory be to Him Whose mercy is in Paradise; Glory be to Him Whose decree is in the graves; Glory be to Him Whose spirit is in the air; Glory be to Him Who raised the heaven; Glory be to Him Who placed the earth; Glory be to Him from Whom there is no refuge except to Him.'"

5549 - And on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: “Among the supplications that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) made during the Farewell Pilgrimage was: ‘O Allah, indeed You hear my speech, You see my place, and You know my secret and my public affairs; nothing of my matter is hidden from You. I am the wretched, the poor, the seeker of aid, the seeker of refuge, the apprehensive, the one who admits and confesses his sin. I ask of You as a pauper asks, and I implore You with the imploration of the humiliated sinner, and I call upon You with the supplication of the fearful and the afflicted—one whose neck has bowed to You, whose eyes have overflowed for You, whose body is humbled for You, and whose nose is rubbed in the dust for You. O Allah, do not make me wretched in my supplication to You, and be Compassionate and Merciful toward me, O Best of those who are asked and O Best of givers.’”

5550 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: "The most frequent supplication of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) on the Day of Arafah was: 'There is no deity except Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things powerful.'"

5551 - And on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "When it is the evening of ‘Arafah, there remains no one in whose heart is a mustard seed’s weight of faith except that he is forgiven." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, is this for the people of ‘Arafah specifically?" He said: "Rather, it is for the Muslims in general."

5552 - And on the authority of Talib ibn Salma ibn ‘Asim ibn al-Hakam, who said: Some of my family narrated to me that he heard my grandfather say: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said on that day: "Behold, Allah has looked upon this gathering and accepted from the righteous among them, and He has accepted the intercession of their righteous for their wrongdoers, and thus He has pardoned them all."

5553 - And on the authority of Jabir, he said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "There are no days more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah." He said: A man then asked: "O Messenger of Allah, are they more virtuous or an equal number of days spent in Jihad in the cause of Allah?" He replied: "They are more virtuous than an equal number of days spent in Jihad in the cause of Allah, except for one whose face is smeared with dust. And there is no day more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the Day of Arafah. Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts of the people of the earth to the inhabitants of the heaven, saying: 'Look at My servants, disheveled, dusty, and crying out, they have come from every deep mountain pass; they have not seen My mercy, nor have they seen My punishment.' And I have not seen a day on which more people are emancipated from the Fire than the Day of Arafah." It was narrated by Abu Ya’la, and within its chain is Muhammad ibn Marwan al-Uqayli; Ibn Ma’in and Ibn Hibban declared him trustworthy, though there is some criticism regarding him, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. It was also narrated by al-Bazzar, except that he said: "The most virtuous days of this world are the ten days."

5554 - On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, who said: "I performed a ritual bath with Ibn Mas'ud on the Day of 'Arafah under the Arak trees."

5555 - From Abd al-Majid al-Uqayli who said: "We set out as pilgrims during the nights when Yazid ibn al-Muhallab went out, and it had been mentioned to us that there was a water source in al-Aliyah called al-Zajih. When we had performed our rituals, we proceeded until we reached al-Zajij and knelt our mounts. He said: So we set out until we came upon a well where there were elders with dyed hair conversing. We said, 'The one who accompanied the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), where is his house?' They said, 'Yes, he accompanied him, and such is his house,' and they gestured, 'That there is his house.' He said: So we went until we reached the house and offered greetings of peace, and he gave us permission. There was an old man reclining who was called al-Adda' ibn Khalid al-Kilabi. I said, 'Are you the one who accompanied the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?' He said, 'Yes, and were it not for the night, I would have read to you the letter of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to me. From where are you?' We said, 'From the people of Basra.' He said, 'Welcome to you. What has Yazid ibn al-Muhallab done?' We said, 'He is there, calling to the Book of Allah (mighty and majestic) and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).' He said, 'In what regard? And is he truly part of that?' We said, 'Which of them should we follow—these or those?'—meaning the people of Syria or Yazid. He said, 'If you remain seated, you will succeed and be rightly guided.' And I only know that he said it three times: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) on the Day of Arafah, while he was standing in the stirrups, calling out at the top of his voice: "O people, what day is this day of yours?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "What month is this month of yours?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Then what land is this land of yours?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Your day is a sacred day and your month is a sacred month." He said: Then he said: "Verily, your blood and your wealth are sacred for you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours, until the day you meet your Lord (mighty and majestic), and He will ask you about your deeds." He said: Then he raised his hands toward the sky and said: "O Allah, bear witness against them." He mentioned it several times, and I do not know how many times he mentioned it.'"

5556 - From Urwa ibn Mudarris ibn Aws ibn Haritha ibn Lam, that he performed Hajj during the time of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and did not catch up with the people until night while he was at Jam' (Muzdalifah). He went to Arafat and departed from it, then returned and came to Jam'. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have exhausted myself and wearied my mount; is my Hajj valid?" He said, "Whoever prays the morning prayer with us at Jam' and stands with us until we depart, having already departed from Arafat before that by night or by day, then his Hajj is complete and he has fulfilled his rituals."

5557 - And in a narration by al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir: On the authority of 'Urwah ibn Mudarris that he came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) at Jam' before he departed. When he looked at the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have crossed the two mountains and encountered great hardship." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whoever catches our departure has caught the Hajj." Abdullah ibn Ahmad added in his narration: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Let your fear subside; whoever catches this departure of ours has caught the Hajj."

5558 - And from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whoever reaches 'Arafah before the break of dawn has indeed attained the Hajj."

5559 - On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) delivered a sermon to us at Arafat; he praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: "To proceed: Indeed, the people of polytheism and idols used to depart from this place when the sun was upon the peaks of the mountains, as if it were the turbans of men upon their faces, whereas we depart after it has set." And they used to depart from al-Mash‘ar al-Haram when the sun was spread out.

5560 - And from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq: "That the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), when the sun set at Arafat, he departed, and from al-Muzdalifah before the rising of the sun."

5561 - And on the authority of Maysarah al-Ashja'i, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, that he performed Hajj with him until he stood at Arafat, whereupon he said to him: "O Maysarah, ascend the mountain." He said: So I did. When the people departed, I went to drive my she-camel, but he said to me: "Steady! A moderate pace between two speeds." When I had crossed the mountain, I said: "Will you dismount, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman?" He said: "Keep moving, O Maysarah." When we arrived at Jam' (Muzdalifah), he stood and called the Adhan, then the Iqamah and prayed Maghrib; then he called the Iqamah and prayed the later Isha. Then when we reached the morning, he did as he had done at the first sacred site (Al-Mash'ar al-Awwal), then he said: "The polytheists used not to depart from Arafat until the sun was like turbans upon the mountains, appearing on their summits like the turbans of men upon their faces; but the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would not depart until the sun had set. And the polytheists used not to depart from Jam' until they said: 'Shine, O [Mount] Thubayr.' They would not depart until the sun was on the mountain tops like the turbans of men upon their faces; but the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to depart before the sun rose."

5562 - And on the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Do not depart on the Day of 'Arafah until the Imam departs."

5563 - On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, who said: We performed the pilgrimage with Ibn Mas'ud during the caliphate of 'Uthman. He said: When we stood at 'Arafah, we said: "Has the sun set?" Ibn Mas'ud said: "If the Commander of the Faithful were to depart now, he would have been correct." He said: I do not know whether the word of Ibn Mas'ud was swifter or the departure of 'Uthman. He said: So the people moved quickly, but Ibn Mas'ud did not exceed a moderate pace until we reached Jam'—and he mentioned the hadith.

And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: The beginning of the hurried pace was from the side of the desert dwellers; they used to stand at both sides of the people until they hung sticks, quivers, and bowls, and when they departed, those items rattled, causing the people to bolt along with them. He said: And the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was seen while the back of his she-camel's head was touching its withers, and he was saying: "O people, you must maintain tranquility. O people, you must maintain tranquility."

5565 - And on the authority of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) departed from Arafat while he was saying: "Towards You she journeys, her girth-strap trembling, her religion differing from the religion of the Christians."

5566 - And on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid, who said: I departed with Ibn Mas'ud from 'Arafah. When he arrived at al-Muzdalifah, he—meaning 'Uthman—stopped. When the dawn brightened, he—meaning Ibn Mas'ud—said: "If the Leader of the Believers is correct, he will depart now." 'Abd Allah had not finished his speech until 'Uthman departed.

When he was at Jam' [Muzdalifah], he said: 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven the righteous among you and has accepted the intercession of your righteous for your wicked. Mercy descends and encompasses them, then forgiveness is distributed across the earth, falling upon every repentant person who guarded his tongue and his hand. Iblis and his hosts are upon the mountain of Arafat, watching what Allah does with them. When forgiveness descends, he and his hosts cry out in woe, saying: I have been inciting them for ages of time, then the forgiveness came and overwhelmed them? So they disperse while crying out in woe and destruction.'"

5569 - And on the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: "Indeed, Allah has bestowed His favor upon the people of Arafat, boasting of them to the angels, saying: 'O My angels, look at My servants, disheveled and dusty; they have come journeying to Me from every distant mountain pass. I call you to witness that I have answered their supplication, accepted their intercession for those under their care, pardoned their wrongdoers for the sake of their doers of good, and granted their doers of good all that they asked of Me; except for the grievances between them.' Then, when the people depart to Jam' (Muzdalifah) and stand, returning to longing and seeking from Allah, He says: 'O My angels, My servants have stood and returned to longing and seeking. I call you to witness that I have answered their supplication, accepted their intercession for those under their care, pardoned their wrongdoers for the sake of their doers of good, granted their doers of good all that they asked of Me, and I have guaranteed on their behalf the settlement of the grievances between them.'"

He said: 'He is saying: "Stone the Jamrah with pebbles like those used for flicking."'"

5577 - And from Hamzah bin Amr al-Aslami, who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) at Arafah while my uncle was seating me behind him on the mount, and he was placing two of his fingers one upon the other.

And on the authority of Al-Hirmas ibn Ziyad, who said: "I saw the Prophet (pbuh) — while I was riding behind my father — and he was on his she-camel, Al-Adhba', on the Day of Sacrifice while the people were around him.

5583 - And from Abu al-Tufayl, who said: I said to Ibn Abbas: "Your people claim that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) performed Sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwa, and that it is a Sunnah?" He said: "They have spoken the truth; for when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded with the rituals of pilgrimage, Satan intercepted him at the place of Sa'y (al-Mas'a), so he raced him and Ibrahim outran him. Then Gabriel (peace be upon him) took him to the Jamrah of al-Aqabah, where Satan appeared to him, and he pelted him with seven pebbles until he departed. Then he appeared to him at the middle Jamrah, and he pelted him with seven pebbles. Then he laid him down upon his forehead, while Ismail was wearing a white shirt. He said: 'O my father, I have no garment in which you may shroud me other than this, so take it off so that you may shroud me in it.' While he was attempting to remove it, he was called from behind him: 'O Ibrahim, you have indeed fulfilled the vision.' Ibrahim turned around, and there was a white, horned ram with large eyes." Ibn Abbas said: "I have indeed seen us seeking out that breed of rams." He said: "Then Gabriel (peace be upon him) took him to the furthest Jamrah, where Satan appeared to him, so he pelted him with seven pebbles until he departed. Then Gabriel (peace be upon him) took him to Mina and said: 'This is Mina.'" Yunus said: "This is the stopping place of the people." "Then he brought him to Jam' [Muzdalifah] and said: 'This is the Sacred Monument (al-Mash'ar al-Haram).' Then he took him to Arafah." Ibn Abbas said: "Do you know why it was named Arafah?" I said: "No." He said: "Indeed Gabriel (peace be upon him) said to Ibrahim: 'Did you recognize (arafta)?' - Yunus said: 'Have you recognized?' - He said: 'Yes.'" Ibn Abbas said: "From that, it was named Arafah." Then he said: "Do you know how the Talbiyah was?" I said: "And how was it?" He said: "When Ibrahim was commanded to proclaim the pilgrimage (Hajj) among the people, the mountains lowered their summits for him and the towns were raised up for him, and he proclaimed the pilgrimage among the people."

5584 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Indeed, Gabriel took Abraham (pbuh) to the Jamrat al-Aqabah, and Satan appeared to him, so he pelted him with seven pebbles and he sank into the ground. Then he came to the middle Jamrah and Satan appeared to him, so he pelted him with seven pebbles and he sank. Then he came to the furthest Jamrah and pelted him with seven pebbles and he sank. When Abraham intended to sacrifice his son Isaac, [Isaac] said to his father: 'O my father, bind me tightly so that I do not struggle and some of my blood spatters upon you when you slaughter me.' So he bound him, and when he had sharpened the blade and intended to slaughter him, he was called from behind him: 'O Abraham, you have fulfilled the vision'."

5585 - And from Ibn Abbas, who said: Gabriel came to the Prophet (pbuh) to show him the rites of pilgrimage. Mount Thubayr parted for him, and he entered Mina, where he showed him the Jamarat, then he showed him Jam' (Muzdalifah), and he showed him 'Arafat. When he was at the Jamrah, Iblis appeared to him, so he pelted him with seven pebbles and he sank. Then he emerged for him again until he mentioned the Jamrah of al-Aqabah, where he sank and departed.

5586 - And in a narration on the authority of Ibn Abbas also, he said: "Gabriel (peace be upon him) set out with the Prophet (pbuh) to show him the rituals of pilgrimage. He brought him to Jamrat al-Aqaba, and behold, Iblis was there. So he (Gabriel) commanded him, and he pelted him with seven pebbles, whereupon he (Iblis) sank into the earth. Then he came to the middle Jamrah, and behold, there was Iblis. So he commanded him, and he pelted him with seven pebbles, and he sank into the earth. Then he came to the third one and did the same. Then he came to Jam' (Muzdalifah), then he recited the Talbiyah from Arafat."

5587 - And on the authority of Ibn 'Umar, that a man asked the Prophet (pbuh) about the stoning of the Jamarat: "What reward is there for us in it?" So I heard him saying: "You will find that with your Lord at the time you are in the greatest need of it."

5589 - And on the authority of Abu Sa'id, who said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah (pbuh), these pebbles that are thrown every year—we perceive that they decrease?" He said: "Whatever is accepted of them is raised up, and were it not for that, you would have seen them like mountains."

Then they returned to me at nightfall, and their shirts were in their hands, carrying them. She said: I said, “O ‘Ukkashah, why is it that you went out wearing shirts, and then you returned with your shirts in your hands, carrying them?” He said, “It is well, O Umm Qays. This is a day in which a concession was granted to us: when we have thrown the pebbles at the Jamrah, we are released from everything we were restricted from due to Ihram except for women, until we perform Tawaf around the House. However, if evening comes and we have not performed Tawaf around it, we return to the state of Ihram as we were before throwing the pebbles until we perform Tawaf around it; and since we have not performed Tawaf, we have placed our shirts as you see.”

5593 - On the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Whoever throws seven pebbles at the Jamrah—the Jamrah that is at al-Aqabah—then departs and slaughters a sacrificial animal, and then shaves, then everything that was prohibited for him regarding the matters of Hajj has become permissible for him."

He said: I replied: 'By Him who sent you with the truth, I tightened them just as I always tighten them, but they were loosened by someone who was envious of my position with you, so that you might replace me with someone else.' He said: 'Indeed, I shall not do so.' He said: When the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) slaughtered his sacrificial offering at Mina, he commanded me to shave his head. He said: So I took the razor and stood by his head. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) looked into my face and said to me: 'O Ma'mar, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has enabled you to reach his earlobe while the razor is in your hand.' I said: 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, that is indeed from the blessings and favors of Allah upon me!' He said: 'Yes, I acknowledge that for you.' He said: Then I shaved the head of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)."

He said on the third time: "And those who shorten their hair."

5599 - And from Malik ibn Rabi'ah that he heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) while he was saying: "O Allah, forgive those who shave. O Allah, forgive those who shave." He said: A man from the people said: "And those who shorten?" So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said on the third or the fourth time: "And those who shorten."

5600 - And on the authority of Qarib, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying: "O Allah, forgive those who shave [their heads]." A man said: "And those who shorten [their hair]?"

Sufyan indicated its smallness with his hand, and Sufyan said: And he said: In that [instance], it was as if he were making a slight gesture with his hand.

5601 - And on the authority of Yahya ibn Husayn, from his grandmother, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) while he was saying: "May Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads, may Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads, may Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads." They said at the third instance: "And those who shorten [their hair]?" He said: "And those who shorten [their hair]."

5602 - And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that the Prophet (pbuh) shaved his head on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah, as did his companions, except for Abu Qatadah and 'Uthman.

He said on the third or fourth time: "And those who trim."

5605 - And from Al-Azraq bin Qays, he said: I was sitting with Ibn ‘Umar when a man questioned him, saying: "O Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, I have entered the state of Ihram and gathered my hair."

5617 - Narrated by Abu al-Darda', who said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah, the matter of Mina is truly marvelous; it is narrow, yet when the people descend upon it, it expands!"

5621 - On the authority of Abu Hurrah al-Raqashi, from his uncle, who said: "I was holding the reins of the Messenger of Allah’s (pbuh) camel in the middle of the days of Tashriq, keeping the people away from him. He said: 'O people, do you know what month you are in? And what day you are in? And what land you are in?' They said: 'In a sacred day, a sacred land, and a sacred month.' He said: 'Indeed, your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred to you, as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours, until the day you meet Him.' Then he said: 'Listen to me so that you may live: Lo, do not wrong one another, do not wrong one another, do not wrong one another. Indeed, the property of a Muslim man is not lawful except with his heartfelt consent. Lo, every claim of blood, ancestral privilege, and property from the Pre-Islamic Period is beneath these feet of mine until the Day of Resurrection. The first blood claim I abolish is the blood of Rabi'ah bin al-Harith bin 'Abd al-Muttalib, who was nursed among the Banu Layth and was killed by Hudhayl. Lo, every usury of the Pre-Islamic Period is abolished, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has decreed that the first usury to be abolished is the usury of al-'Abbas bin 'Abd al-Muttalib (peace be upon him); you shall have your capital; you shall not wrong, nor shall you be wronged. Lo, time has completed its cycle and returned to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth.' Then he recited: {Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them.} 'Lo, do not return to being disbelievers after me, striking one another's necks. Lo, Satan has despaired of being worshipped by the performers of prayer, but he remains in inciting discord among you. And fear Allah regarding women, for they are like captives under your care, possessing nothing for themselves. Indeed, they have a right over you, and you have a right over them: that they do not allow anyone whom you dislike to tread upon your bedding, nor should they permit anyone you dislike into your homes. If you fear rebellion from them, then advise them, then forsake them in bed, and then strike them with a strike that is not severe.' Humayd said: I said to al-Hasan: 'What is the meaning of severe?' He said: 'That which leaves a mark.' 'And they are entitled to their provision and clothing in a reasonable manner. You have taken them only by the trust of Allah, and you have made their private parts lawful to you by the word of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. Lo, whoever has a trust entrusted to him, let him return it to the one who entrusted it to him.' And he extended his hands and said: 'Lo, have I conveyed? Lo, have I conveyed?' Then he said: 'Let the witness inform the absent, for perhaps the one to whom it is conveyed is more fortunate than the one who hears it.' Humayd said: Al-Hasan said when he reached this statement: 'By Allah, they conveyed it to people who were more fortunate with it.'"

5622 - And from Abu Nadrah, who said: "He who heard the sermon of the Prophet (pbuh) in the middle of the days of Tashreeq narrated to me that he said: 'O people, indeed your Lord is One and your father is one. Lo, there is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a black person over a red person, nor for a red person over a black person, except by piety. Have I conveyed?' They said: 'The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has conveyed.' Then he said: 'What day is this?' They said: 'A sacred day.' Then he said: 'What month is this?' They said: 'A sacred month.' He said: 'What land is this?' They said: 'A sacred land.' He said: 'Then indeed, Allah (the Mighty and Sublime) has made your blood and your wealth'—the narrator said: 'And I do not know if he said "and your honor" or not'—'sacred among you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Have I conveyed?' They said: 'The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has conveyed.' He said: 'Let the witness convey to the absent.'"

5623 - And from Ibn ‘Umar, he said: “This Surah was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) while he was in Mina during the middle of the days of Tashreeq. He recognized that it signified his death, so he ordered his she-camel, al-Qaswa, and it was saddled for him. He rode and stood before the people at al-’Aqabah, and as many Muslims as Allah willed gathered for him. He praised Allah and extolled Him as He deserves to be extolled. Then he said: ‘To proceed: O people, every blood feud that existed in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance is hereby abolished. The first of your blood feuds I abolish is the blood of Rabi‘ah ibn al-Harith, who was being nursed among the Banu Layth and was killed by Hudhayl. And every usury that existed in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance is waived; and the first of your usury I waive is the usury of al-’Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib. O people: time has revolved back to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. The number of months with Allah is twelve months, four of which are sacred: Rajab of Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha‘ban, Dhu al-Qa‘dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and al-Muharram. {That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them} [al-Tawbah: 36]. {Indeed, the postponing [of sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to conform to the number of what Allah has made unlawful} [al-Tawbah: 37]. They used to make Safar lawful one year and make al-Muharram unlawful another year; that is the postponement. O people, whoever has a trust, let him return it to the one who entrusted him with it. O people, Satan has despaired of being worshipped in your lands at the end of time, but he is satisfied with you in the belittled of your deeds; so beware for your religion regarding the belittled of your deeds. O people, women are like dependents with you; you have taken them by the trust of Allah and made their private parts lawful to you by the word of Allah. You have a right over them and they have a right over you. Your right over them is that they do not allow anyone whom you dislike to tread upon your beds, and that they do not disobey you in what is right. If they do that, then you have no way against them. They are entitled to their provision and clothing in a reasonable manner. If you strike them, strike them with a strike that is not painful. It is not lawful for a man to take from his brother’s property except what he gives willingly. O people, I have left among you that which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah, so act according to it. O people, what day is this?’ They said: ‘A sacred day.’ He said: ‘What land is this?’ They said: ‘A sacred land.’ He said: ‘What month is this?’ They said: ‘A sacred month.’ He said: ‘Indeed, Allah (the Mighty and Majestic) has made your blood, your property, and your honor sacred, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent. There is no prophet after me, and no nation after you.’ Then he raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah, bear witness!’”

5624 - And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Verily, time has turned in its cycle to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth." And he said: "(Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve months in the Book of Allah, of which four are sacred.) Three are consecutive, and Rajab of Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha'ban."

5625 - And on the authority of Fadala ibn 'Ubayd al-Ansari, from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), that he said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "This is a sacred day, and this is a sacred land. Your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day and this day, until the day you meet Him, including even a push a Muslim gives to another Muslim intending harm thereby. And I shall inform you who the Muslim is: the Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand people are safe. The believer is the one whom people trust with their property and their lives. The emigrant is the one who abandons transgressions and sins. And the striver is the one who strives against his own self in obedience to Allah."

5626 - And on the authority of Jabir, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice at Mina." He said: [narrating it] similarly to the hadith of Abu Bakrah.

5627 - And on the authority of Abu Malik al-Ash'ari, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage on the days of al-Adha: "Is this not the sacred day?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Verily, the sanctity of what is between you until the Day of Resurrection is like the sanctity of this day. And shall I inform you who the Muslim is? He from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. And shall I inform you who the believer is? He whom the people trust with their wealth and their lives. And shall I inform you who the emigrant is? He who abandons evil deeds. And the believer is sacred to the believer like the sanctity of this day; his flesh is forbidden for him to consume by backbiting him, his honor is forbidden for him to violate, his face is forbidden for him to strike, his blood is forbidden for him to shed, his wealth is forbidden for him to wrongfully take, and harming him is forbidden for him to shove him roughly."

5628 - And in a narration: That he (pbuh) said that in the middle of the days of al-Adha. And he said therein: "And it is forbidden for him to push him with a push that causes him distress."

5629 - And on the authority of Ammar bin Yasir, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) delivered a sermon to us and said: "What day is this?" We said: "The Day of Sacrifice." He said: "What month is this?" We said: "Dhu al-Hijjah, a sacred month." He said: "What city is this?" We said: "A sacred city." He said: "Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honors are sacred; like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Verily, let those who are present convey it to those who are absent."

5630 - And from Al-Harith bin 'Amr, who said: "I came to the Prophet (pbuh) while he was at Mina or at Arafat, and the Bedouins were coming; when they saw his face, they said: 'This is a blessed face.' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'O Allah, forgive us.' He said: So I moved around and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'O Allah, forgive us.' He said: So I moved around and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'O Allah, forgive us.' Then he was about to spit, so he moved his hand and caught his saliva with it, then wiped his sandal with it, as he disliked for it to strike anyone who was around him. Then he said: 'O people, what day is this? And what month is this? Verily, your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. O Allah, have I conveyed [the message]? And let the witness convey it to the absent.' He said: And he commanded us to give charity, saying: 'Give charity, for indeed I do not know, perhaps you will not see me after this day of mine.' And he designated Yalamlam for the people of Yemen to begin their Ihram from it, and Dhat 'Irq for the people of Iraq—or he said: for the people of the East.'"

5631 - And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin al-Aas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) addressed the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage; he praised Allah and extolled Him, then he said: 'O people, take your rituals from me; for indeed I do not know, perhaps I will not perform pilgrimage after this year of mine.'"

5632 - And from Wabisah ibn Ma’bad al-Juhani, who said: "I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) during the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was delivering a sermon, saying: 'O people, which month is most sacred?' They said: 'This month.' He asked: 'Which day is most sacred?' They said: 'This one'—and it was the Day of Sacrifice. He asked: 'Which land is greatest in sanctity before Allah?' They said: 'This one.' He said: 'Indeed, your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred to you, just as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours, until the day you meet your Lord. Have I not conveyed the message?' The people replied: 'Yes.' He then raised his hands toward the sky and said: 'O Allah, bear witness.' Then he said: 'Let the one who is present among you convey it to the one who is absent.' Wabisah said: 'And we were present while you were absent, and we convey it to you as the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said.'"

5633 - And from Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Which land is most sacred?" It was said: "Mecca." He said: "Then which month is most sacred?" It was said: "Dhu al-Hijjah." He said: "Then which day is most sacred?" It was said: "The Day of Sacrifice, and it is the Day of the Greater Pilgrimage." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Your blood and your wealth are sacred to you until you meet your Lord; like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Thus, I do not deem it permissible for blood to be shed in the Sanctuary of Allah."

5634 - And from 'Ubada bin 'Abdullah bin al-Zubayr, who said: "Rabi'ah bin Umayyah bin Khalaf al-Jumahi was the one who used to shout on the Day of 'Arafah from beneath the neck of the Messenger of Allah’s (pbuh) she-camel. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to him: 'Shout.' He was a man with a loud voice: 'O people, do you know which month this is?' So he shouted it, and they said: 'Yes, the Sacred Month.' He (the Prophet) said: 'Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has made your blood and your wealth sacred for you until you meet your Lord, just like the sanctity of this month of yours.' Then he said: 'Shout: Do you know which land this is?' So he shouted it, and they said: 'Yes, the Sacred Land.' He said: 'Indeed, your blood and your wealth are sacred for you until the day you meet Him, just like the sanctity of this land of yours.' Then he said: 'Shout: Which day is this?' So he shouted it, and they said: 'This is a sacred day, and this is the day of the Great Hajj.' He said: 'Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has made your blood and your wealth sacred for you until the day you meet Him, just like the sanctity of this day of yours.'"

5635 - And on the authority of Hujayr, that the Prophet of Allah (pbuh) delivered a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: "O people, what land is this?" They said: "A sacred land." He said: "And what month is this?" They said: "A sacred month." He said: "Verily, your blood, your property, and your honor are as sacred to you as the sanctity of this day of yours, like this month of yours, and like the sanctity of this land of yours. Let those who are present convey this to those who are absent. Do not return after me as disbelievers, striking the necks of one another."

5636 - And on the authority of Abu Umamah Suday ibn ‘Ajlan al-Bahili, who said: The Prophet (pbuh) came during the Farewell Pilgrimage on a she-camel until he stood in the midst of the people on the Day of ‘Arafah and said: "What day is this?" They replied: "The Day of ‘Arafah, the sacred day." He said: "And which month is this?" They replied: "The sacred month." He said: "And what land is this?" They replied: "The sacred land." He said: "Indeed, your wealth, your honor, and your blood are sacred to you, as sacred as this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Behold, every prophet has already made his supplication except for my supplication, for I have reserved it with my Lord until the Day of Resurrection. Furthermore, the prophets will vie with one another in numbers, so do not disgrace me, for I shall be waiting for you at the gate of the Cistern."

5637 - In another narration from Abu Umamah, he reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) on the day of the Farewell Pilgrimage, while he was upon his camel with a slit ear (al-Jad'a'). He had placed his feet in the stirrups and placed one of his hands on the front of the saddle and the other on its rear, raising himself up thereby. He said: "O people, listen; for perhaps you will not see me after this year of yours." And he mentioned the like of what preceded.

5638 - And on the authority of Abu Umamah that he heard the Prophet (pbuh) while he was riding Al-Jad'a', and Al-Fadl ibn al-Abbas was behind him, saying: "Do not swear oaths over Allah; for indeed, whoever swears an oath over Allah, Allah will prove him a liar."

5639 - And on the authority of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib and Zayd bin Arqam, they both said: We heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: "Indeed, your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours in this city of yours."

And from Ibn Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) distributed sheep among his companions on that day, and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas obtained a male goat and slaughtered it. When the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stood at 'Arafah, he commanded Rabi'ah ibn Umayyah ibn Khalaf—who was a man with a loud voice—so he stood beneath the brisket of his she-camel. He said: "Shout: O people, do you know which month this is?" So he shouted, and the people said: "The Sacred Month." He said: "Shout: Do you know which city this is?" They said: "The Sacred City." He said: "Shout: Do you know which day this is?" They said: "The Day of the Greater Pilgrimage." He said: "Shout and say: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has forbidden for you your blood and your wealth, just like the sanctity of this month of yours, the sanctity of this city of yours, and the sanctity of this day of yours." Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) completed his pilgrimage and said when he stood at 'Arafah: "This is the place of standing, and all of 'Arafah is a place of standing." And he said when he stood at Quzah: "This is the place of standing, and all of Muzdalifah is a place of standing."

5641 - And on the authority of Fahd ibn al-Bakhtari ibn Shu'ayb ibn 'Amr ibn al-Azraq, who said: Shu'ayb ibn 'Umar narrated to me, saying: I set out for Mecca, and when I arrived at al-Dhariyyah, some of my brothers said to me: "Would you like to meet a man who was a companion of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?" I said: "Yes." He said: "He is the occupant of the tent pitched in such-and-such a place." So I said to my companions: "Come with us to him." We stood up and reached the occupant of the tent, and we offered the greeting of peace, and he returned the greeting. He asked: "Who are these people?" We said: "A group of people from Basra; it has reached us that you were a companion of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)." He said: "Yes, I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and I sat beneath his pulpit on the day of the Farewell Pilgrimage. He ascended the pulpit, praised Allah and extolled Him, and said: 'Indeed, Allah says: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." Therefore, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have superiority over an Arab, nor does a black person have superiority over a white person, nor does a white person have superiority over a black person, except by piety. O people of Quraysh, do not come bringing the worldly life carrying it upon your necks while the people come with the Hereafter, for indeed I cannot avail you anything against Allah from Allah.'" We asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "I am al-'Adda' ibn Khalid ibn 'Amr ibn 'Amir, the knight of al-Dahya in the pre-Islamic period."

5642 - And on the authority of Ka‘b ibn ‘Asim al-Ash‘ari, who said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage in the middle of the Days of Tashreeq, saying: 'Is this day sacred?' They replied: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Then indeed, your sanctity among yourselves is like the sanctity of this day of yours. Shall I inform you who the Muslim is? The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. Shall I inform you who the believer is? The believer is the one with whom the Muslims feel secure regarding their lives and their wealth. Shall I inform you who the emigrant is? The emigrant is the one who abandons evil deeds from what Allah has forbidden for him. And a believer is sacred to another believer like the sanctity of this day: his flesh is forbidden for him to eat in his absence and to backbite him, his honor is forbidden for him to violate, his face is forbidden for him to slap, his harm is forbidden for him to inflict, and it is forbidden for him to push him with a shove that jolts him.'"

5643 - And on the authority of Kulthum bin Jubayr, who said: We were with Anbasah bin Sa'id, and I rode one day to al-Hajjaj. A man called Abu Ghadiyah al-Juhani came to him, and Abd al-A'la bin Abd Allah said to him: "Rise and go to him and help him dismount, and say: 'He is returning now.'" So we went out to him and said to him: "He is returning now." He dismounted and entered upon Abd al-A'la bin Abd Allah, then he asked for water. He was brought water in a glass cup, but he refused to drink from glass. Then it was brought to him in a wooden cup and he drank. He then said: "I pledged allegiance to the Prophet (pbuh) while I was still returning the livestock to my family." Rashid bin Unayf—who was with Abd al-A'la—said to him: "With this right hand of yours?" Thereupon, Abd al-A'la rebuked him and said: "Was it with his left then?" He (Abu Ghadiyah) said: "I witnessed his sermon on the Day of al-Aqaba while he was saying: 'Indeed, your blood and your property are as sacred to you as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Lo, do not return after me as disbelievers, striking the necks of one another.' Until it was the day when Uthman was besieged, I heard a man saying: 'Shall this one not be killed?' I looked and behold, it was Ammar. Had it not been for those of his companions behind him, I would have trampled his belly. I said: 'O Allah, if You will, grant that I encounter him.' Then, when the Day of Siffin came, I saw a slender man leading a battalion on foot. I looked at the armor and it had shifted from his knee, so I stabbed him, and behold, it was Ammar."

And in a narration from him, he said: Ammar ibn Yasir was among the best of us. And he mentioned the like of it and added: A freed slave of ours said: "What a hand that sufficed him!" So I have not seen a man more clearly misguided in my view than him; that he heard from the Prophet (pbuh) what he heard, then he killed Ammar.

5645 - And on the authority of Sarra’ bint Nabhan—who was the mistress of a household during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance—she said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Do you know what day this is?" She said: —and it was the day that you call the Day of the Heads— they said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "Verily, this is the middle of the days of Tashreeq." He said: "Do you know what land this is?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "Verily, this is the Sacred Monument." Then he said: "Indeed, I may not meet you after this year of mine; behold, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours, until you meet your Lord and He asks you about your deeds. Lo, let those of you who are present convey it to those who are absent. Lo, have I conveyed [the message]?" She said: "When we arrived at Medina, we remained only a short while before he (pbuh) passed away."

5646 - And from Jamrah bint Quhafah, she said: "I was with Umm Salamah, Mother of the Believers, during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I heard the Prophet (pbuh) saying: 'O my community (Ummatah), have I conveyed [the message] to you?' A young son of hers said: 'O mother, why is he calling his mother?' She said: I replied: 'He only means his community (Ummah).' And he was saying: 'Lo, indeed your honor, your wealth, and your blood are sacred to you, as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this land of yours, in this month of yours.'"

5647 - And on the authority of Abu Qubaylah, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stood among the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: "There is no prophet after me, and there is no nation after you; so worship your Lord, perform your five [prayers], fast your month [of Ramadan], and obey those in authority over you, then enter the Paradise of your Lord."

5648 - On the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: "I was sitting with the Prophet (pbuh) in the mosque of Mina, when a man from the Ansar and a man from Thaqif came to him and greeted him. They then said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have come to ask you.' He said: 'If you two wish, I shall inform you of what you came to ask me about, or if you wish, I shall refrain?' They said: 'Inform us, O Messenger of Allah.' Then the Thaqafi said to the Ansari: 'Ask.' He said: 'Inform me, O Messenger of Allah!' He (pbuh) said: 'You came to me to ask about your leaving your house heading towards the Sacred House and what is in it for you; and about your two units of prayer after the circumambulation and what is in them for you; and about your circumambulation between al-Safa and al-Marwah and what is in it for you; and about your standing on the evening of Arafah and what is in it for you; and about your throwing of the pebbles and what is in it for you; and about your sacrifice and what is in it for you; and about shaving your head and what is in it for you; and about your circumambulation of the House thereafter and what is in it for you, along with the Ifadah?' He said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, it is for this that I came to ask you.' He (pbuh) said: 'Indeed, when you leave your house heading towards the Sacred House, your camel does not set down its hoof nor raise it except that Allah writes a good deed for you because of it and removes a sin from you. As for your two units of prayer after the circumambulation, they are as the freeing of a slave from the descendants of Ishmael. As for your circumambulation between al-Safa and al-Marwah thereafter, it is as the freeing of seventy slaves. As for your standing on the evening of Arafah, Allah—Blessed and Exalted is He—descends to the lowest heaven and boasts of you to the angels, saying: "My servants have come to Me disheveled from every deep mountain pass, hoping for My Paradise. Even if your sins were as the number of grains of sand, or as the drops of rain, or as the foam of the sea, I would forgive them (or He said: He would forgive them). Depart, My servants, forgiven for you and for those for whom you have interceded." As for your throwing of the pebbles, for every pebble you throw, a major destructive sin is remitted. As for your sacrifice, it is stored for you with your Lord. As for the shaving of your head, for every hair you shave, you have a good deed and a sin is removed from you because of it. As for your circumambulation of the House thereafter, you circumambulate while you have no sin; an angel comes and places his hands between your shoulders and says: "Work for the future, for what has passed has been forgiven for you."'"

5649 - And Al-Tabarani narrated in Al-Kabir with a similar wording, except that he said at its beginning: "Two men came to the Prophet (pbuh), one of whom was from the Ansar and the other from Thaqif. The Ansari reached him first, so the Prophet (pbuh) said to the Thaqafi: 'O brother of Thaqif, the Ansari has preceded you.' The Ansari said: 'I yield [my turn] to him, O Messenger of Allah.' So he said: 'O brother of Thaqif, ask about your need, or if you wish, I shall inform you of what you have come to ask about.' He said: 'That is more pleasing to me, that you do so.' He said: 'You [have come to] ask me about your prayer, your bowing, your prostration, and your fasting, and you say: What is there for me in it?' He replied: 'Yes, by the One Who sent you with the Truth.' He said: 'Then pray at the beginning of the day and its end, and sleep in its middle.' He asked: 'And if I pray in its middle?' He said: 'Then you are indeed you [of even greater merit].' He said: 'When you stand for prayer and bow, place your hands upon your knees and part your fingers, then raise your head until every limb returns to its joint. When you prostrate, fix your forehead firmly to the ground and do not peck. And fast during the White Nights: the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth.'"

5650 - And from Anas bin Malik, he said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) in the mosque of Mina when a man from the Ansar and a man from Thaqif came to him. They greeted him and offered a beautiful supplication for him. Then they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have come to ask you.' He said: 'If you wish, I shall inform you of what you came to ask me about, and if you wish, I shall remain silent and you may ask me.' They said: 'Inform us, O Messenger of Allah, that we may increase in faith or certainty' — the doubt is from Ismail, who said: 'I do not know which of the two he said: faith or certainty' — then the Ansari said to the Thaqafi: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)!' The Thaqafi replied: 'Rather, you ask him, for I recognize your right.' So he asked him, saying: 'Inform me, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'You came to ask me about your departure from your house intending for the Sacred House and what is in it for you? And about your circumambulation of the House and what is in it for you? And about your two rak'ahs after the circumambulation and what is in them for you? And about your sa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah and what is in it for you? And about your standing on the evening of 'Arafah and what is in it for you? And about your stoning of the pillars and what is in it for you? And about your sacrifice and what is in it for you? And about shaving your head and what is in it for you? And about your circumambulation of the House after that — meaning the Tawaf al-Ifadah?' He said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, it was about this that I came to ask you.' He said: 'Indeed, when you depart from your house intending for the Sacred House, your camel does not place its hoof nor raise it except that Allah writes a good deed for you thereby, removes a sin from you thereby, and raises you a degree. As for your two rak'ahs after the circumambulation, they are like freeing a slave from the descendants of Ismail. As for your circumambulation between al-Safa and al-Marwah after that, it is like freeing seventy slaves. As for your standing on the evening of 'Arafah, Allah the Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and boasts of you to the angels, saying: "These are My servants who have come disheveled, seeking intercession from every deep mountain pass, hoping for My mercy and My forgiveness; even if your sins were as numerous as the grains of sand, the drops of rain, or the foam of the sea, I would forgive them. Depart, My servants, forgiven for you and for those for whom you have interceded." As for your stoning of the pillars, for every stone you throw, you have the expiation of a major, destructive sin. As for your sacrifice, it is stored for you with your Lord. As for the shaving of your head, for every hair you shave, you have a good deed, and a sin is erased from you thereby.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if the sins are fewer than that?' He said: 'Then it will be stored for you in your good deeds. As for your circumambulation of the House after that — meaning al-Ifadah — you circumambulate while you have no sin; an angel comes until he places his hands between your shoulders and then says: "Act in what lies ahead, for what has passed has been forgiven for you!"' The Thaqafi then said: 'Inform me, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'You came to ask me about the prayer.' He said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, it was about it that I came to ask you.' He said: 'When you stand for prayer, perform the ablution thoroughly; for when you rinse your mouth, the sins fall from your nostrils. When you wash your face, the sins fall from the hair of your eyes. When you wash your hands, the sins fall from your fingernails. When you wipe your head, the sins fall from your head. When you wash your feet, the sins fall from your toenails. Then, when you stand for prayer, recite from the Qur'an whatever you wish. Then, when you bow, place your hands firmly on your knees and spread your fingers until you are composed in bowing. Then, when you prostrate, place your face firmly in the entire prostration until you are composed in prostrating; and do not peck like a bird. And pray at the beginning of the day and its end.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I prayed the whole of it?' He said: 'Then you are truly you.'"

5651 - And from 'Ubadah bin al-Samit who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) led us in prayer, then two men approached him, a man from the Ansar and a man from Thaqif. The Ansari preceded the Thaqafi, so the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to the Thaqafi: "The Ansari has preceded you in the matter of asking." The Ansari said: "Perhaps, O Messenger of Allah, he is in a greater hurry than I am, so he is excused." He said: So the Thaqafi asked about the prayer and he informed him. Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to the Ansari: "If you wish, I shall inform you of what you came to ask about, and if you wish, you may ask me and I shall inform you." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, inform me!" He said: "You came to ask me what reward is for you when you head towards the Ancient House, and what reward is for you in your standing at 'Arafah? And what reward is for you in your stoning of the Jamarat? And what reward is for you in shaving your head? And what reward is for you when you bid farewell to the House?" The Ansari said: "By Him who sent you with the truth, I did not come to ask you about anything other than that." He said: "As for your reward when you head towards the Ancient House, neither you nor your mount lift or place a foot except that a good deed is written for you and a degree is raised for you. As for your standing at 'Arafah, Allah the Mighty and Majestic says to His angels: 'O My angels, what has brought My servants?' They say: 'They have come seeking Your pleasure and Paradise.' So Allah the Mighty and Majestic says: 'I call Myself and My creation to witness that I have forgiven them [sins equal to] the number of the days of time, the number of raindrops, and the number of the sands of 'Alij.' As for your stoning of the Jamarat, Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: {No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as a reward for what they used to do}. As for your shaving your head, there is not a single hair of yours that falls to the ground except that it shall be a light for you on the Day of Resurrection. As for the House when you bid farewell, you emerge from your sins like the day your mother gave birth to you."

5652 - And on the authority of Ibn Abbas, who said: I heard the Prophet (pbuh) saying: "If the people of the gathering knew with whom they have alighted, they would have rejoiced at the bounty after the forgiveness."

5653 - On the authority of Hisl - one of the sons of ‘Amir ibn Lu’ayy - who said: "The Prophet (pbuh) passed during his pilgrimage - and we were with him - by a man who had completed his pilgrimage, so he said to him: 'Has your pilgrimage been accepted for you?' He said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Commence your deeds anew.'"

5654 - On the authority of Amir bin Rabi'ah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Perform Hajj and Umrah in succession; for indeed, performing them in succession removes poverty and sins just as the bellows removes the dross of iron." It was narrated by Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Kabir, and he stated: "For indeed, performing them in succession increases lifespan and provision, and they both remove poverty and sins just as the bellows removes the dross of iron."
