• Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah in succession, for they expel poverty and sins just as the bellows expels impurities from iron, gold, and silver. There is no reward for an accepted Hajj except Paradise

  عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَابِعُوا بَيْنَ الحَجِّ وَالعُمْرَةِ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَنْفِيَانِ الفَقْرَ وَالذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الكِيرُ خَبَثَ الحَدِيدِ، وَالذَّهَبِ، وَالفِضَّةِ، وَلَيْسَ لِلْحَجَّةِ الْمَبْرُورَةِ ثَوَابٌ إِلاَّ الجَنَّةُ».

• ‘Ukkāzh, Mijannah, and Dhū al-Majāz were markets in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. They considered it a sin to trade during the seasons. So it was revealed: {There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord.}

• As the verse of Hajj Tamattu‘ was revealed, the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to perform it. Nothing was revealed in the Qur'an abrogating it nor did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit it until he died

  عن عمران بن حصين رضي الله عنهما قال: «أُنْزِلَت آيَةُ المُتْعَةِ في كتاب اللَّه تعالى ، فَفَعَلْنَاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وَلَم يَنْزِلْ قُرْآنٌ يُحَرِّمُهَا، وَلَم يَنْهَ عَنهَا حَتَّى مات، قال رجل بِرَأْيِهِ مَا شَاءَ»، قال البخاري: «يقال إنه عمر». وفي رواية: « نَزَلَت آيَةُ المُتْعَةِ -يَعْنِي مُتْعَةَ الحَجِّ- وَأَمَرَنا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ثُمَّ لَم تَنْزِل آيَةٌ تَنْسَخُ آيَةَ مُتْعَةِ الْحَجِّ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى مَاتَ». ولهما بمعناه.

  ‘Imrān ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The verse of Hajj Tamattu‘ was revealed in Allah's Book. We performed it with the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and nothing was revealed in Qur'an to make it unlawful, nor did the Prophet prohibit it till he died. No regard is therefore given to anyone suggesting otherwise. Al-Bukhāri said: "It was said that man is ‘Umar." In another narration: "As the verse of Hajj Tamattu‘ was revealed, the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to perform it. Nothing was revealed in the Qur'an abrogating it, nor did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit it till he died." And they both narrated it with this meaning.

• I asked Ibn ‘Abbās about Hajj Tamattu‘. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hady (sacrifice), and he said: You have to slaughter a camel, a cow, a sheep, or you may share the Hady with others. It seemed that some people disliked it

  عن أبي جَمرة -نصر بن عمران الضُّبَعي- قال: «سألت ابن عباس عن المُتْعَةِ؟ فأمرني بها، وسألته عن الهَدْيِ؟ فقال: فيه جَزُورُ، أو بقرةٌ، أو شَاةٌ، أو شِرْكٌ في دم، قال: وكان ناس كرهوها، فنمت، فرأيت في المنام: كأن إنسانا ينادي: حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ، ومُتْعَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ. فأتيت ابن عباس فحدثته، فقال: الله أكبر! سُنَّةُ أبي القاسم صلى الله عليه وسلم ».

  Abu Jamrah Nasr ibn ‘Imrān Ad-Duba‘i reported: I asked Ibn ‘Abbās about Hajj Tamattu‘. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hady (sacrifice), and he said: "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow, a sheep, or you may share the Hady with others." It seemed that some people disliked it. I slept and dreamed that a person was announcing: ‘May Allah accept your pilgrimage and accept your Hajj Tamattu‘.' I went to Ibn ‘Abbās and narrated it to him. He said: ‘Allah is the Greatest. That is the Prophet's Sunnah.'"

• A person in a state of Ihrām eating from a game that was not hunted for him, nor did he assist in hunting it

  عن أبي قَتَادَةَ الأنصاري رضي الله عنه «أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج حاجًّا، فخرجوا معه، فصرف طائفة منهم -فيهم أبو قَتَادَةَ- وقال: خذوا ساحِل البحر حتى نَلْتَقِيَ. فأخذوا ساحل البحر، فلما انصرفوا أحرموا كلهم، إلا أبا قَتَادَةَ فلم يُحرم، فبينما هم يسيرون إذ رأوا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ، فحمل أبو قَتَادَةَ على الْحُمُرِ، فَعَقَرَ منْها أَتَانَاً، فنزلنا فأكلنا من لحمها، ثم قلنا: أنأكل لحم صيد، ونحن محرمون؟ فحملنا ما بقي من لحمها فأدركنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فسألناه عن ذلك؟ فقال: منكم أحد أمره أن يحمل عليها، أو أشار إليها؟ قالوا: لا، قال: فكلوا ما بقي من لحمها»، وفي رواية: «قال: هل معكم منه شيء؟ فقلت: نعم، فناولته الْعَضُدَ ، فأكل منها».

  Abu Qatādah al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Hajj and so did his Companions. He sent a group of them by another route, and Abu Qatādah was one of them. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Proceed along the sea-shore until we meet up." So, they took the route of the sea-shore, and when they departed, all of them entered in the state of Ihrām for Hajj except Abu Qatādah. While they were proceeding on, they saw a group of onagers. Abu Qatādah chased the onagers and wounded a she-onager. They got down and ate some of its meat and said to each other: "How do we eat the meat of the game while we are in a state of Ihrām?" So, we carried the rest of its meat, and we met the Messenger of Allah and asked him about it. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did anyone of you order Abu Qatādah to attack it or point at it?" They replied in the negative. He said: "Then eat what is left of its meat." And in another narration: He said: "Is there any more left with you?" I said: "Yes" and I gave him its upper arm to eat and he ate from it.

• I saw that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Makkah, he would touch the Black Corner in the beginning of his Tawāf and walk briskly for three rounds

  عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: « تَمَتَّعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَجَّةِ الوَدَاع بالعُمرَة إلى الحج وأهدَى، فَسَاقَ مَعَهُ الهَدْيَ مِن ذِي الحُلَيفَة، وَبَدَأَ رَسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَهَلَّ بالعمرة، ثُمَّ أَهَلَّ بالحج، فَتَمَتَّعَ النَّاس مع رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَهَلَّ بالعمرة إلَى الحج، فَكَان مِن النَّاس مَنْ أَهْدَى، فَسَاقَ الهَدْيَ مِن ذي الحُلَيفَة، وَمِنهُم مَنْ لَمْ يُهْدِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رسول اللَّه صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ للنَّاس: مَنْ كَانَ مِنكُم أَهْدَى، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَحِلُّ مِن شَيء حَرُمَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَجَّهُ، وَمَن لَم يَكُن أَهْدَى فَلْيَطُفْ بالبَيت وَبالصَّفَا وَالمَروَة، وَلْيُقَصِّر وَلْيَحْلِل، ثُمَّ لِيُهِلَّ بالحج وليُهدِ، فَمَن لم يجد هَدْياً فَلْيَصُم ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّام فِي الحج وَسَبعة إذَا رَجَعَ إلى أَهلِهِ فَطَافَ رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، وَاستَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ، ثُمَّ خَبَّ ثَلاثَةَ أَطْوَافٍ مِنْ السَّبْعِ، وَمَشَى أَربَعَة، وَرَكَعَ حِينَ قَضَى طَوَافَهُ بالبيت عِند المَقَام رَكعَتَين، ثُمَّ انصَرَفَ فَأَتَى الصَّفَا، وطاف بِالصَّفَا وَالمَروَة سَبعَةَ أَطوَاف، ثُمَّ لَم يَحلِل مِنْ شَيْءٍ حَرُمَ منه حَتَّى قَضَى حَجَّهُ، وَنَحَرَ هَدْيَهُ يوم النَّحرِ، وَأَفَاضَ فَطَافَ بالبيت، ثُمَّ حَلَّ مِن كُلِّ شَيء حَرُمَ مِنهُ، وَفَعَلَ مِثل مَا فَعَلَ رَسول اللَّه صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَن أَهدَى وَسَاقَ الهَديَ مِن النَّاسِ». «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ يَقْدَمُ مكَّة إذا اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ الأَسْوَدَ -أَول ما يَطُوفُ- يَخُبُّ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ».

  ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) performed both ‘Umrah and Hajj in his Farewell Hajj, performing ‘Umrah first and then Hajj, and offered a sacrificial animal. He drove his sacrificial animals with him from Dhu al-Hulayfah. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) started by assuming Ihrām for ‘Umrah, and after that, he assumed Ihrām for Hajj. And the people too performed ‘Umrah and Hajj with him. So he assumed Ihrām for ‘Umrah first and stayed in Makkah until Hajj. There were some people who brought sacrificial animals and drove them from Dhu al-Hulayfah, while others did not. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, he said to the people: "Whoever among you has brought the sacrificial animal should not do anything prohibited on account of Ihrām until he ends his Hajj. And whoever among you has not brought the sacrificial animal should make Tawāf around the Ka‘bah, make Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah, shorten his hair, and end his Ihrām. Thereafter, he must offer a sacrificial animal. If anyone cannot afford a sacrificial animal, he should fast three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns home." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah on his arrival (at Makkah). He touched the corner (the Black Stone) first of all and then walked briskly during the first three rounds and normally during the last four ones. Then, he offered a two-Rak‘ah prayer at the Station of Ibrahīm, after which he went to Safa and Marwah and performed seven rounds of Sa‘ibetween them. He did not do anything prohibited on account of Ihrām till he finished all the rituals of Hajj and slaughtered his sacrificial animal on the Day of Nahr (sacrifice). He then hastened (to Makkah) and performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah. Upon doing this, everything that had been forbidden because of Ihrām became permissible for him. Those who took and drove the sacrificial animals with them did the same as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Ibn ‘Umar said: "I saw that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Makkah, he would touch the Black Corner in the beginning of his Tawāf and walk briskly for three rounds."

  Al-Bukhari and Muslim with its two versions

• O Messenger of Allah, how come the people have ended their state of Ihrām for ‘Umrah while you have not? he said: I have applied to my hair that which would make it matted and marked my sacrificial animal, and I will not end my Ihrām until I slaughter

  عن حَفْصَة زَوْج النَّبِي رضي الله عنها قالت: «يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه، مَا شَأن النَّاس حَلُّوا مِنَ العُمرَة، وَلَم تَحِلَّ أنت مِنْ عُمْرَتِكَ؟ فَقَال: إنِّي لَبَّدْتُ رَأْسِي، وَقَلَّدتُ هَدْيِي، فَلا أَحِلُّ حَتَّى أَنْحَرَ».

  Hafsah, one of the Prophet's wives, reported that she said: "O Messenger of Allah, how come the people have ended their state of Ihrām for ‘Umrah while you have not?" He said: "I have applied to my hair that which would make it matted and marked my sacrificial animal, and I will not end my Ihrām until I slaughter."

• How did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wash his head when he was in the state of Ihrām?

  عن عبد الله بن حنين أن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما ، وَالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ رضي الله عنهما اختلفا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ: فقال ابن عباس: يغسل الْمُحْرِمُ رأسه. وقال الْمِسْوَر: لا يغسل رأسه. قال: فأرسلني ابن عباس إلى أبي أيوب الأنصاري رضي الله عنه فوَجَدْتُهُ يغتسل بين الْقَرْنَيْنِ، وهو يستر بثوب، فَسَلَّمْتُ عليه، فقال: من هذا؟ فقلت: أنا عبد الله بن حُنَيْنٍ، أرسلني إليك ابن عباس، يسألك: كيف كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يغسل رأسه وهو مُحرِمٌ؟ فوضع أبو أيوب يده على الثوب، فَطَأْطَأَهُ، حتى بَدَا لي رأسه، ثم قال لإنسان يَصُبُّ عليه الماء: اصْبُبْ، فَصَبَّ على رأسه، ثم حَرَّكَ رأسه بيديه، فأقبل بهما وَأَدْبَرَ. ثم قال: هكذا رأيته صلى الله عليه وسلم يغتسل». وفي رواية: «فقال المسور لابن عباس: لَا أُمَارِيكَ أبدًا».

  ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās and Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) were at Al-Abwā' when they disagreed over a matter. Ibn ‘Abbās said: "The one in the state of Ihrām may wash his head." Al-Miswar said: "He may not wash his head." Ibn ‘Abbās sent me (the narrator) to Abu Ayyūb al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him about that. I found him taking a ritual bath between the two posts of a well, screened with a cloth. I greeted him and he said: "Who is that?" I replied: "‘Abdullāh ibn Hunayn. ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās sent me to ask you how the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to wash his head while in the state of Ihrām. Abu Ayyūb put his hand on the cloth and lowered it until I could see his head, then he said to the person who was pouring out the water for him: 'Pour', and he poured some over his head. He passed his hands over his head from back to front then from front to back and said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) washing it like this." Another narration adds: So Al-Miswar said to Ibn ‘Abbās: "I will never argue with you again."

• I was carried to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and lice were falling on my face. He said: I never thought your ailment has reached such an extent. Can you afford a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)? I replied: No. He then said: Fast three days, or feed six poor people.

  عن عبد الله بن مَعْقِلٍ قال: «جلستُ إلى كَعْبِ بن عُجْرَةَ، فسألته عن الفدية، فقال: نزلت فِيَّ خاصة. وهي لكم عامة. حُمِلْتُ إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ على وجهي. فقال: ما كُنْتُ أُرَى الوَجَعَ بَلَغَ بِكَ ما أَرَى -أو ما كنت أُرَى الجَهْدَ بلغ بك ما أَرى-! أَتَجِدُ شاة؟ فقلت: لا. فقال: صم ثلاثة أيام، أو أطعم ستة مساكين -لكل مسكين نصف صاع-». وفي رواية: «فأمره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ ، أو يُهْدِي شَاةً ، أو يصوم ثلاثة أيام».

  ‘Abdullāh ibn Ma‘qil reported: I sat with Ka‘b ibn ‘Ujrah and asked him about the ransom and he replied: "It (the verse) was revealed concerning my case specifically, but it is also meant for you in general. I was carried to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and lice were falling on my face. He said: ‘I never thought your ailment has reached such an extent. Can you afford a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)?’ I replied: ‘No.’ He then said: ‘Fast three days, or feed six poor people.'" In another narration: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to either feed six people three Sā‘ (each will take half a Sā‘), slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice, or fast three days."

• ‘Aqra Halqa! Did she perform the Tawāf on the Day of An-Nahr? It was said: Yes. He said: Then you can depart

  عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: «حَجَجْنَا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَفَضْنَا يوم النَّحْرِ، فحاضت صَفِيَّةُ، فأراد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم منها ما يريد الرجل من أهله، فقلت: يا رسول الله، إنها حائض، قال: أَحَابِسَتُنَا هي؟ قالوا: يا رسول الله، إنها قد أفاضت يوم النَّحْرِ، قال: اخْرُجُوا». وفي لفظ: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : «عَقْرَى، حَلْقَى، أطافت يوم النَّحْرِ؟ قيل: نعم، قال: فَانْفِرِي».

  ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: We performed Hajj with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and performed the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr. Safiyyah got her menses and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) desired from her what a husband desires from his wife. I said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, she is having her menses." He said: "Is she going to detain us?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, she had performed the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr." Thereupon, he said: "Then (you can) depart." In another wording, The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "‘Aqra Halqa (an exclamatory expression denoting annoyance)! Did she perform the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr (10th of Dhu al-Hijjah)?’ It was said: ‘Yes.’ The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you can depart (with us)."

• The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon after having offered the prayer on Eid al-Ad'ha. He said: Whoever prayed our prayer and slaughtered our sacrifice has properly observed the ritual. And whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the (Eid) prayer has not observed the ritual

  عن البَرَاء بن عَازب رضي الله عنهما قال: «خطبنا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الأضحى بعد الصلاة، فقال: من صلى صلاتنا وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا فقد أصاب النُّسُكَ، ومن نسك قبل الصلاة فلا نُسُك له. فقال أبو بُرْدَةَ بن نِيَار -خال البَرَاء بن عَازبٍ-: يا رسول الله، إني نسكت شاتي قبل الصلاة، وعرفت أن اليوم يوم أكل وشرب، وأحببت أن تكون شاتي أول ما يذبح في بيتي، فذبحت شاتي، وتغديت قبل أن آتي الصلاة. فقال: شاتك شاة لحم. قال: يا رسول الله، فإن عندنا عَنَاقًا لنا هي أحب إلي من شاتين؛ أَفَتَجْزِي عني؟ قال: نعم، ولن تَجْزِيَ عن أحد بعدك».

  Al-Barā' ibn ‘Āzib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon after having offered the prayer on Eid al-Ad'ha. He said: "Whoever prayed our prayer and slaughtered our sacrifice has properly observed the ritual. And whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the (Eid) prayer has not observed the ritual." Abu Burdah ibn Niyār (the uncle of Al-Barā' ibn ‘Āzib) said: "O Messenger of Allah, I slaughtered my sheep before the prayer. I know that today is a day of eating and drinking, so I liked to have my sheep as the first thing to be slaughtered at my home. I slaughtered it and ate before coming to the prayer." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just a sheep (slaughtered) for meat (i.e. not a ritual sacrifice)." He (Abu Burdah) said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be valid as a sacrifice for me?" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, but it will not be valid (as a sacrifice) for anyone else after you."

• Allah, the Almighty, held back the elephants from Makkah, but He enabled His Messenger and the believers to conquer it. Fighting in it was not permitted for anybody before me, nor will it be permitted for anybody after me; it was permitted for me only for a short while during the day. Verily, it is from this moment a sanctuary

  عن أبي هُريرة رضي الله عنه قال: «لَمَّا فَتَحَ الله -تَعَالَى- عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَكَّةَ قَتَلَتْ خزاعةُ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ بِقَتِيلٍ كَانَ لَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَقَامَ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: إنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ، وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي، وَلا تَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي، وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَإِنَّهَا سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ: حَرَامٌ، لا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، وَلا يُخْتَلَى خَلاهَا، وَلا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهَا، وَلا تُلْتَقَطُ سَاقِطَتُهَا إلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ، وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ: فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ: إمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُودِيَ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ- يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو شَاهٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله، اُكْتُبُوا لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله: اُكْتُبُوا لأَبِي شَاهٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله، إلاَّ الإذْخِرَ، فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي بُيُوتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله: إلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Allah, the Almighty, enabled His Messenger to conquer Makkah, the tribe of Khuzā‘ah killed a man from the tribe of Banu Layth in revenge for a person who was killed from their tribe before Islam. So the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) got up and said: "Allah, the Almighty, held back the elephant from Makkah, but He enabled His Messenger and the believers to conquer it. Fighting in it was not permitted for anybody before me, nor will it be permitted for anybody after me; it was permitted for me only for a short while during the day. Verily, it is from this moment a sanctuary; its trees should not be cut down; its grass should not be removed; its thorny shrubs should not be uprooted; and lost items found in it should not be taken except by one who intends to look for its owner. And if somebody is killed, his heir has the option to either kill in retaliation or accept blood money." A man from Yemen named Abu Shāh stood up and said: "Write that for me, O Messenger of Allah", The Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Write that for Abu Shāh." Then Al-‘Abbās stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, except for lemongrass, for we use it in our houses and graves." The Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Except for lemongrass."

• This is something that Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So, do everything the pilgrim does, but do not make Tawāf around the Ka‘bah until you are pure

  عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا نَذْكُرُ إلا الحج، حتى جِئْنَا سَرِف فَطَمِثْتُ، فدخل عليَّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا أبْكِي، فقال: «ما يُبْكِيك؟» فقلت: والله، لوَدِدْتُ أنَّي لم أكُن خرجت العَام، قال: «ما لك؟ لَعَلَّكِ نَفِسْتِ؟» قلت: نعم، قال: «هذا شيء كَتَبه الله على بنات آدم، افعلي ما يفعل الحاج غير أن لا تَطُوفي بالبيت حتى تَطْهُري» قالت: فلمَّا قدمت مكة، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأصحابه «اجْعَلُوها عُمرة» فأحَلَّ الناس إلا من كان معه الهَدْي، قالت: فكان الهَدْي مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبي بكر وعمر وذَوِي اليَسَارَة، ثم أهَلُّوا حين راحُوا، قالت: فلمَّا كان يوم النَّحر طَهَرْت، فأمَرَني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَفَضْتُ، قالت: فَأُتِيَنَا بِلَحم بَقَر، فقلت: ما هذا؟ فقالوا: أَهْدَى رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عن نِسَائه البقر، فلمَّا كانت ليلة الحَصْبَةِ، قلت: يا رسول الله، يرجع الناس بحجة وعُمرة وأرجع بِحَجَّة؟ قالت: فأمر عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر، فَأَرْدَفَنِي على جَمَلِه، قالت: فإني لأذْكُر، وأنا جَارية حَدِيثَةُ السِّن، أَنْعَسُ فيُصِيب وجْهِي مُؤْخِرَة الرَّحْل، حتى جِئْنَا إلى التَّنْعِيم، فَأَهْلَلْتُ منها بِعُمْرة؛ جزاء بِعُمْرَة الناس التي اعْتَمَرُوا.

  ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) with the sole intention of performing Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I got my menses. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was weeping. He said: "Why are you weeping?" I said: "By Allah, I wish I had not come this year (for Hajj)." He said: "What is the matter with you, have you got your menses?" I replied: 'Yes.' He said: "This is something that Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So, do everything the pilgrim does, but do not make Tawāf around the Ka‘bah until you are pure." ‘Ā’ishah added: When we approached Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: "Make it ‘Umrah." So the people lifted the restrictions of Ihrām except for those who had brought a sacrificial animal. There was a sacrificial animal with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as well as Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, and the rich ones; then they raised their voices in Talbiyah as they set out. On the Day of Sacrifice, I became pure, so the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to perform Tawāf al-Ifādah, and I did. We were brought cow meat and I said: "What is this?" The people said: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives." On the night of Al-Hasbah, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, will the people return having made Hajj and ‘Umrah while I will return having made Hajj only?" So he ordered ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Bakr, and he rode me on the back of his camel. I remember - and I was just a young girl - I would doze off and the rear part of the saddlebags would hit my face; until we arrived at Tan‘īm. I raised my voice with Talbiyah intending ‘Umrah to make up for the one people had performed.

• Hadīth of Jābir descriibng the Farewell Hajj

  عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، قال: دخلنا على جابر بن عبد الله، فسأل عن القوم حتى انتهى إلي، فقلت: أنا محمد بن علي بن حسين، فأهوى بيده إلى رأسي فنزع زري الأعلى، ثم نزع زري الأسفل، ثم وضع كفه بين ثديي وأنا يومئذ غلام شاب، فقال: مرحبا بك، يا ابن أخي، سَلْ عما شِئْتَ، فسألته، وهو أعمى، وحضر وقت الصلاة، فقام في نَسَاجَة مُلتحفا بها، كلما وضعها على منَكْبِهِ رَجَعَ طَرَفَاهَا إليه من صغرها، ورداؤه إلى جنبه، على المِشْجَبِ، فصلى بنا، فقلت: أخبرني عن حجة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: بيده فعقد تسعا، فقال: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مكث تسع سنين لم يحج، ثم أذَّنَ في الناس في العاشرة، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حاج، فقدم المدينة بشر كثير، كلهم يلتمس أن يأتَمَّ برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ويعمل مثل عمله، فخرجنا معه، حتى أتينا ذا الحليفة، فولدت أسماء بنت عميس محمد بن أبي بكر، فأرسلت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: كيف أصنع؟ قال: «اغتسلي، واستَثْفِرِي بثوب وأحرمي» فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المسجد، ثم ركب القَصْوَاءَ، حتى إذا استوت به ناقته على البَيْدَاءِ، نظرت إلى مَدِّ بصري بين يديه، من راكب وماش، وعن يمينه مثل ذلك، وعن يساره مثل ذلك، ومن خلفه مثل ذلك، ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أظهرنا، وعليه ينزل القرآن، وهو يعرف تأويله، وما عمل به من شيء عملنا به، فأهل بالتوحيد «لبيك اللهم، لبيك، لبيك لا شريك لك لبيك، إن الحمد والنعمة لك، والملك لا شريك لك» وأهل الناس بهذا الذي يهلون به، فلم يرد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عليهم شيئا منه، ولزم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تلبيته، قال جابر رضي الله عنه: لسنا ننوي إلا الحج، لسنا نعرف العمرة، حتى إذا أتينا البيت معه، استلم الركن فرمل ثلاثا ومشى أربعا، ثم نفذ إلى مقام إبراهيم عليه السلام، فقرأ: ﴿واتخذوا من مقام إبراهيم مصلى﴾ [البقرة: 125] فجعل المقام بينه وبين البيت، فكان أبي يقول - ولا أعلمه ذكره إلا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم -: كان يقرأ في الركعتين قل هو الله أحد وقل يا أيها الكافرون، ثم رجع إلى الركن فاستلمه، ثم خرج من الباب إلى الصفا، فلما دنا من الصفا قرأ: ﴿إن الصفا والمروة من شعائر الله﴾ [البقرة: 158] «أبدأ بما بدأ الله به» فبدأ بالصفا، فرقي عليه، حتى رأى البيت فاستقبل القبلة، فوحد الله وكبره، وقال: «لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير، لا إله إلا الله وحده، أنجز وعده، ونصر عبده، وهزم الأحزاب وحده» ثم دعا بين ذلك، قال: مثل هذا ثلاث مرات، ثم نزل إلى المروة، حتى إذا انصبت قدماه في بطن الوادي سعى، حتى إذا صعدتا مشى، حتى أتى المروة، ففعل على المروة كما فعل على الصفا، حتى إذا كان آخر طوافه على المروة، فقال: «لو أني استقبلت من أمري ما استدبرت لم أَسُقِ الهدي، وجعلتها عمرة، فمن كان منكم ليس معه هدي فليحل، وليجعلها عمرة»، فقام سراقة بن مالك بن جعشم، فقال: يا رسول الله، ألعامنا هذا أم لأبد؟ فشبك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أصابعه واحدة في الأخرى، وقال: «دخلت العمرة في الحج» مرتين «لا بل لأبد أبد» وقدم علي من اليمن ببدن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوجد فاطمة رضي الله عنها ممن حل، ولبست ثيابا صبيغا، واكتحلت، فأنكر ذلك عليها، فقالت: إن أبي أمرني بهذا، قال: فكان علي يقول، بالعراق: فذهبت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحَرِّشاً على فاطمة للذي صنعت، مستفتيا لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما ذكرت عنه، فأخبرته أني أنكرت ذلك عليها، فقال: «صدقت صدقت، ماذا قلت حين فرضت الحج؟» قال قلت: اللهم، إني أهل بما أهل به رسولك، قال: «فإن معي الهدي فلا تحل» قال: فكان جماعة الهدي الذي قدم به علي من اليمن والذي أتى به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مائة، قال: فحل الناس كلهم وقصروا، إلا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومن كان معه هدي، فلما كان يوم التروية توجهوا إلى منى، فأهلوا بالحج، وركب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فصلى بها الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء والفجر، ثم مكث قليلا حتى طلعت الشمس، وأمر بِقُبَّةٍ من شَعَرٍ تُضْرَبُ له بنِمَرِةَ، فسار رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا تشك قريش إلا أنه واقف عند المشعر الحرام، كما كانت قريش تصنع في الجاهلية، فأجاز رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى أتى عرفة، فوجد القبة قد ضربت له بنمرة، فنزل بها، حتى إذا زاغت الشمس أمر بالقصواء، فرحلت له، فأتى بطن الوادي، فخطب الناس وقال: «إن دماءكم وأموالكم حرام عليكم، كحرمة يومكم هذا في شهركم هذا، في بلدكم هذا، ألا كل شيء من أمر الجاهلية تحت قدمي موضوع، ودماء الجاهلية موضوعة، وإن أول دم أضع من دمائنا دم ابن ربيعة بن الحارث، كان مسترضعا في بني سعد فقتلته هذيل، وربا الجاهلية موضوع، وأول ربا أضع ربانا ربا عباس بن عبد المطلب، فإنه موضوع كله، فاتقوا الله في النساء، فإنكم أخذتموهن بأمان الله، واستحللتم فروجهن بكلمة الله، ولكم عليهن أن لا يوُطئن فُرُشَكُم أحدا تكرهونه، فإن فعلن ذلك فاضربوهن ضربا غير مُبَرِّحٍ، ولهن عليكم رزقهن وكسوتهن بالمعروف، وقد تركت فيكم ما لن تضلوا بعده إن اعتصمتم به، كتاب الله، وأنتم تسألون عني، فما أنتم قائلون؟» قالوا: نشهد أنك قد بلغت وأديتَ ونصحت،َ فقال: بإصبعه السبابة، يرفعها إلى السماء ويَنْكُتُها إلى الناس «اللهم، اشهد، اللهم، اشهد» ثلاث مرات، ثم أذن، ثم أقام فصلى الظهر، ثم أقام فصلى العصر، ولم يصل بينهما شيئا، ثم ركب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، حتى أتى الموقف، فجعل بطن ناقته القصواء إلى الصخرات، وجعل حبل المشاة بين يديه، واستقبل القبلة، فلم يزل واقفا حتى غربت الشمس، وذهبت الصُّفْرَة قليلا، حتى غاب القُرص، وأرْدَفَ أسامة خلفه، ودفع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد شَنَقَ للقصواء الزِّمَامَ حتى إن رأسها ليصيب مَوْرِكَ رَحْلِهِ، ويقول بيده اليمنى «أيها الناس، السكينة السكينة». كلما أتى حبلا من الحبال أرخى لها قليلا، حتى تصعد، حتى أتى المزدلفة، فصلى بها المغرب والعشاء بأذان واحد وإقامتين، ولم يسبح بينهما شيئا، ثم اضطجع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى طلع الفجر، وصلى الفجر، حين تبين له الصبح، بأذان وإقامة، ثم ركب القصواء، حتى أتى المشعر الحرام، فاستقبل القبلة، فدعاه وكبره وهلله ووحده، فلم يزل واقفا حتى أسفر جدا، فدفع قبل أن تطلع الشمس، وأردف الفضل بن عباس، وكان رجلا حسن الشعر أبيض وسيما، فلما دفع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مرت به ظعن يجرين، فطفق الفضل ينظر إليهن، فوضع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يده على وجه الفضل، فحول الفضل وجهه إلى الشق الآخر ينظر، فحول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يده من الشق الآخر على وجه الفضل، يصرف وجهه من الشق الآخر ينظر، حتى أتى بطن محسر، فحرك قليلا، ثم سلك الطريق الوسطى التي تخرج على الجمرة الكبرى، حتى أتى الجمرة التي عند الشجرة، فرماها بسبع حصيات، يكبر مع كل حصاة منها، مثل حصى الخذف، رمى من بطن الوادي، ثم انصرف إلى المنحر، فنحر ثلاثا وستين بيده، ثم أعطى عليا، فنحر ما غبر، وأشركه في هديه، ثم أمر من كل بدنة ببضعة، فجعلت في قدر، فطبخت، فأكلا من لحمها وشربا من مرقها، ثم ركب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأفاض إلى البيت، فصلى بمكة الظهر، فأتى بني عبد المطلب، يسقون على زمزم، فقال: «انزعوا، بني عبد المطلب، فلولا أن يغلبكم الناس على سقايتكم لنَزَعْتْ ُمعكم» فناولوه دلوا فشرب منه.

  Ja‘far ibn Muhammad reported on the authority of his father: We entered upon Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh. When we reached him, he asked about the people (who had come to visit him). When my turn came, I said: "I am Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Hussayn." He patted my head with his hand and undid my upper and lower buttons. He then placed his hand between my nipples, and I was a young boy in those days. He then said: "Welcome my nephew, ask what you like." I asked him, and he was blind. The time of prayer came, and he stood wrapped in a mantle. Whenever he placed it on his shoulders, its ends fell due to its shortness. He led us in prayer while his mantle was placed on a rack by his side. I said: "Tell me about the Hajj of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). He signed with his hand and folded his fingers, indicating nine. He then said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) remained nine years (in Madīnah) during which he did not perform Hajj, then there was a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was about to (go to) perform Hajj. A large number of people came to Madīnah, everyone desiring to follow him and act like him. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) went out, as did we alongside him, till we reached Dhu al-Hulayfah. Asmā', the daughter of ‘Umays, gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) asking him: 'What should I do?' He replied: 'Take a bath, bandage your private parts with a cloth, and assume Ihrām (ritual state of consecration).' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) then prayed (in the mosque) and mounted Al-Qaswā' (his she-camel), and his she-camel stood erect with him on its back. I saw (a large number of) people on mounts and on foot in front of him, and a similar number on his right side, and a similar number on his left side, and a similar number behind him. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was among us, the Qur’an was being revealed to him, and he knew its interpretation. Whatever he did, we did it. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) then raised his voice, declaring Allah’s unity and saying: 'Labbayk (I am at thy service), O Allah, Labbayk, Labbayk, You have no partner; praise and grace are Thine and the Dominion. You have no partner.' The people too raised their voices in Talbiyah, which they used to utter. But the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) did not comment on anything. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) continued his Talbiyah. We did not express our intention of performing anything but Hajj, being unaware of ‘Umrah (at that season), but when we came with him to the House (the Ka‘bah), he touched the corner (and made seven circuits), walking quickly with pride in three of them, and walking ordinarily in four. Then going forward to the station of Ibrahīm, he recited: {And take the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 125] (While praying two Rak‘ahs, he kept the station between him and the House. (The narrator said: “My father said that Ibn Nufayl and ‘Uthmān said: ‘I do not know that he (Jābir) narrated it from anyone except the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).’” The narrator Sulaymān said: “I do not know, but he (Jābir) said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the two Rak‘ahs: {Say: He is Allah, one} [Sūrat al-Ikhlās] and: {Say: O infidels.} [Sūrat al-Kāfirūn].’”) He then returned to the House (the Ka’bah) and touched the corner, after which he went out by the gate to As-Safa. When he reached near As-Safa, he recited: {As-Safa’ and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah.} [ Sūrat al Baqarah: 158] He added: 'We begin with what Allah began with.' He then began with As-Safa and ascending it till he could see the House, he declared the greatness of Allah and proclaimed his Unity. He then said: 'There is no god but Allah, Who alone has fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates.' He then supplicated in the course of that, saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards Al-Marwah, and when his feet reached the bottom of the valley, he ran, and when he began to ascend, he walked till he reached Al-Marwah. He did at Al-Marwah as he had done at As-Safa, and when he came to Al-Marwah for the last time, he said: 'If I had known before what I have come to know afterwards regarding this matter of mine, I would not have brought sacrificial animals but made it an ‘Umrah, so if any of you has no sacrificial animals, he may remove his Ihrām and treat it as an ‘Umrah.' All the people then removed their Ihrām and clipped their hair, except the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and those who had brought sacrificial animals. Surāqah (ibn Mālik) ibn Ju‘sham then got up and asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him): 'Does this apply to the present year, or does it apply forever?' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) intertwined his fingers and said: 'The ‘Umrah has been incorporated in Hajj.' Adding: 'No, but forever and ever.' ‘Ali came from Yemen with the sacrificial animals of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and found Fātimah among one of those who had taken off their Ihrām. She said: 'Put on colored clothes;' and stained her eyes with collyrium. ‘Ali disliked (this action of her) and asked: 'Who commanded you to do this?' She said: 'My father.' ‘Ali said in Iraq: 'I went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) to complain against Fātimah for what she had done and to ask for his opinion regarding what she had mentioned to me. I informed him that I disliked her action and that thereupon she said to me: 'My father commanded me to do this.' He said: 'She spoke the truth; she spoke the truth. What did you say when you put on Ihrām for Hajj?' ‘Ali said: 'O Allah, I put on Ihrām for the same purpose for which the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) has put it on.' He said: 'I have sacrificial animals with me, so do not take off Ihrām.'' The total of those sacrificial animals brought by ‘Ali from Yemen and of those brought by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) from Madīnah was one hundred. Then all the people except the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and those who had the sacrificial animals with them took off Ihrām and clipped their hair. When the 8th of Dhu alHijjah came, they went towards Mina having put on Ihrām for Hajj, and the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) rode and prayed the Zhuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib, ‘Ishā', and Fajr prayers at Mina. After that, he waited a little till the sun rose and gave orders for a tent of hair to be set up at Namirah. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) then sent out, and the Quraysh did not doubt that he would halt at Al-Mash‘ar al-Haram at Al-Muzdalifah, as the Quraysh used to do in the pre-Islamic period, but he kept on till he came to ‘Arafah and found that the tent had been setup at Namirah. There he dismounted, and when the sun had passed the meridian, he ordered Al-Qaswā' to be brought, and when it was saddled for him, he went down to the bottom of the valley and addressed the people, saying: 'Your lives and your property are as sacred as this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours. Lo! Everything pertaining to the pre-Islamic period has been put under my feet, and claims for blood vengeance belonging to the pre-Islamic period have been abolished. The first of those murdered among us whose blood vengeance I permit is the blood vengeance of ours, that of the son of Rabī‘ah ibn al-Hārith. He was suckled among Banu Sa‘d and then killed by Hudhail. The usury of the pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of usury which I abolish is our usury, the usury of ‘Abbās ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, for it is all abolished. Fear Allah regarding women, for you have got them under Allah’s security and have the right to intercourse with them by Allah’s word. It is a duty on them not to allow anyone whom you dislike to lie on your beds, so if they do, then beat them, but not severely. You are responsible for providing them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you something, if you hold on to it, you will never again go astray, that is Allah’s Book. You will be asked about me, so what will you say?' They replied: 'We testify that you have conveyed and fulfilled the message and given counsel.' Then he raised his forefinger towards the sky, and pointing it at the people, he said: 'O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness!' Bilāl then uttered the call to prayer and the Iqāmah, and he prayed the Zhuhr prayer. He then uttered the Iqāmah, and he prayed the ‘Asr prayer, engaging in no prayer between the two. He then mounted Al-Qaswā' and came to the place of standing, making Al-Qaswā' turn its back to the rocks and having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and he faced the Qiblah. He remained standing till sunset and the yellow light had somewhat gone and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He took Usāmah up behind him and severely picked the reins of Al-Qaswā', so much so that its head was touching the front part of the saddle. Pointing with its right hand, he was saying: 'Calmness, O People. Calmness, O people.' Whenever he ascended a mound (of sand), he let its reins a little loose so that it could ascend. He then came to Al-Muzdalifah, where he joined the Maghrib and the ‘Ishā' prayers, with one Adhān and two Iqāmahs. The narrator ‘Uthamān said He did not offer supererogatory prayers between them. The narrators are then agreed upon the version He then lay down till dawn and prayed the Fajr prayer when the morning light was clear. (The narrator, Sulaymān, said: “With one Adhān and one Iqāmah.”) He then mounted Al-Qaswa’ and came to Al-Mash‘ar al-Harām and ascended it. He faced the Qiblah, praised Allah, and declared His greatness, His uniqueness, and His Unity and kept standing till the day was very clear. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) then quickly went before the sun rose and took Al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbās behind him on his camel. He was a man with beautiful hair, white and handsome. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) quickly went, the women in the howdahs also began to quickly pass him. Al-Fadl looked at them. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on the face of Al-Fadl, but Al-Fadl turned his face towards the other side. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) also turned away his hand to the other side. Al-Fadl also turned his face to the other side, looking at them till he reached (the Valley of) Muhassir. He urged the camel a little and following a middle road which leads to Al-Jamrah al-Kubra, he came to the Jamrah (pillar) that is beside the tree and threw seven small pebbles at it, saying 'Allah is Most Great' each time he threw a pebble. He threw them from the bottom of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) then went to the place of the sacrifice and sacrificed sixty-three camels with his own hand. He then let ‘Ali offer the remainder, so he shared his sacrificial animals with him. After that, he ordered that a piece of flesh from each camel should be put in a pot, and when it was cooked, the two of them ate some of it and drank some of its broth. Afterwards, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) quickly went to the House (the Ka‘bah) and prayed the Zhuhr prayer in Makkah. He then went to Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: 'Draw water, Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib! Were it not that people would take the right to draw water from you, I would draw it along with you.' So they handed him a bucket and he drank from it.’”

• Wash the perfume off your body thrice, and take off the Jubbah, and do in ‘Umrah as you do in Hajj

  عن صفوان بن يَعْلَى: أنَّ يَعْلَى قال لعمر رضي الله عنه : أَرِني النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِين يُوحَى إليه، قال: «فبيْنَما النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالجِعِرَّانة، ومعه نَفَرٌ من أصحابه، جاءه رجل فقال: يا رسول الله، كيف ترى في رجل أحْرَم بعمرة، وهو مُتَضَمِّخٌ بطِيب، فسكت النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ساعة، فجاءه الوحْي، فأشار عمر رضي الله عنه إلى يَعْلَى، فجاء يَعْلَى وعلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثوْب قد أُظِلَّ به، فأَدخَل رأسه، فإذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحْمَرُّ الوجه، وهو يَغِطُّ، ثم سُرِّيَ عنه، فقال: «أين الذي سأل عن العمرة؟» فأُتي برجل، فقال: «اغسل الطِّيبَ الذي بِكَ ثلاث مرات، وانزِعْ عنك الجُبَّة، واصنع في عُمرتك كما تصنعُ في حَجَّتك» قلت لعطاء: أراد الإنقاء حين أمره أن يغسل ثلاث مرات؟ قال: «نعم».

  Safwān ibn Ya‘lā reported: Ya‘lā said to ‘Umar: "Show me the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) while he is receiving revelation." When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was at Al-Ji‘irrānah accompanied by some of his Companions, a person came and asked: "O the Messenger of Allah, what do you say regarding a person who assumes Ihrām for ‘Umrah while he is heavily scented with perfume?" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kept silent until (the angel of) revelation came to him. Thereupon, ‘Umar beckoned Ya‘lā, who came while the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was covered with a garment as a shade. Ya‘lā put his head under the garment and saw that the face of the Messenger of Allah turned very red while he was groaning. When the Prophet was released from that condition, he asked: "Where is the person who asked about ‘Umrah?" A man was brought, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wash the perfume off your body thrice and take off the Jubbah, and do in ‘Umrah as you do in Hajj." So I asked ‘Atā: "Did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mean complete cleansing when he ordered him to wash three times." He said: 'Yes.'

• A man performed ablution and left a small part on his foot equal to the size of a nail unwashed. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw that and said: "Go back and perform your ablution properly." He performed it again and prayed

  عَنْ جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنه قال: أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا تَوَضَّأَ فَتَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ ظُفُرٍ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ فَأَبْصَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ» فَرَجَعَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى.

  Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb said to me: A man performed ablution and left a small part on his foot equal to the size of a nail unwashed. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw that and said: "Go back and perform your ablution properly." He performed it again and prayed.

• There is no Muslim who performs ablution well and then stands and prays two Rak‘ahs while focused on them with his heart and his face, except that Paradise will be guaranteed for him

  عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَجَاءَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ، إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ، فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ يَقُولُ: الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ قَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا، قَالَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُبْلِغُ - أَوْ فَيُسْبِغُ - الْوَضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ».

  ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Āmir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. When I returned from my shift in the evening, I found the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) standing and addressing the people. I heard him saying: "There is no Muslim who performs ablution well and then stands and prays two Rak‘ahs while focused on them with his heart and his face, except that Paradise will be guaranteed for him." I said: "What a fine thing this is!" Thereupon, I heard someone in front of me saying: "What he said before it was even finer." I looked and it was ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, who said: "I see that you have just come." He said: "If anyone of you performs ablution thoroughly and then says, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant and Messenger of Allah', the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter from whichever of them he wishes."

• The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissed some of his wives, and then went out for prayer without making ablution

  عن عروة، عن عائشة رضي الله عنها مرفوعاً: «أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبَّلَ بعض نسائه، ثم خرج إلى الصلاة ولم يتوضَّأ»، قال: قلت: من هي إلا أنت؟ فَضَحِكت.

  ‘Urwah reported that ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissed some of his wives, and then went out for prayer without making ablution.” ‘Urwah said to her: "Who is she, if not you?" So she laughed.

• Is it not but a piece of him

  عن طلق بن علي رضي الله عنه قال: قَدِمْنَا على نَبِيِّ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء رَجُل كأنه بَدَوي، فقال: يا نَبِيَّ الله، ما ترى في مَسِّ الرَّجل ذَكَره بعد ما يتوضأ؟ فقال: «هل هو إلا مُضْغَةٌ منه»، أو قال: « بَضْعَةٌ منه».

  Talq ibn ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We went to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and a man, who seemed to be a Bedouin, came forward and said: "O Prophet, what do you say regarding the man who touches his penis after making ablution?" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is it not but a piece of him." Or he said: "a part of him."

• O ‘Ā'ishah, indeed, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep

  عن أبي سَلمة بن عبد الرحمن، أنه أخْبَره: أنه سَأل عائشة رضي الله عنها ، كيف كانت صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في رمضان؟ فقالت: «ما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يَزيد في رمضان ولا في غَيره على إحدى عَشرة ركعة يصلِّي أربعا، فلا تَسَل عن حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثم يصلِّي أربعا، فلا تَسَل عن حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثم يصلَّي ثلاثا». قالت عائشة: فقلت يا رسول الله: أتنام قبل أن توتر؟ فقال: «يا عائشة إن عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ ولا يَنام قَلْبِي»

  Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān (may Allah have mercy upon him) reported that he asked ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) how the Prophet's prayer was in Ramadan. She said: "Neither in Ramadan, nor in any other month, did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) exceed the eleven Rak‘ahs of prayer. He would pray four – and do not ask about their beauty and length; then he would pray another four, and do not ask about their beauty and length either, then he would pray three." ‘Ā'ishah then added: "I asked him: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before performing the Witr prayer?' he said: 'O ‘Ā'ishah, indeed, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'"
