Pilgrimage (Kitab Al-Hajj)2

Chapter 18: STAYING AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VERSE:, THEN

HASTEN ON FROM WHERE THE PEOPLE HASTEN ON (ii. 199)

Bk 7, Number 2807:

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish

(of the pre−Islamic days) and those who followed their

religions practices stayed at Muzdalifa, and they named

themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed at 'Arafa.

With the advent of Islam, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,

commanded His Apostle (may peace be upon him) to come to

'Arafat and stay there, and then hurry from there, and this is

the significance of the words of Allah:" Then hasten on from

where the people hasten on."

Bk 7, Number 2808:

Hisham narrated on the authority of his father that the Arabs

with the exception of Hums who were Quraish, and their

descendants, circumambulated the House naked. They kept

circumambulating In this state of nudity unless the Hums

supplied to them the clothes. The male provided (clothes) to

the male and the female provided clothes to the female. And

the Hums did not get out of Muzdalifa, whereas the people

(other than the Quraish) went t o 'Arafat. Hisham said on the

authority of his father who related from 'A'isha (Allah be

pleased with her) who said: Hums are those about whom Allah,

the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse:" Then hasten to

where the people hasten." She (further) said: The people

hastened on from 'Arafat, whereas Hums hastened from

Muzdalifa, and said: We'do not hasten but from Haram. But when

this (verse) was revealed:" Hasten on from that (place) where

the people hasten on," they (the Quraish) then went to

'Arafat.

Bk 7, Number 2809:

Jubair. b. Mut'im reported: I lost my camel and went in search

of it on the day of 'Arafa, and I saw the Messenger of Allah

(may peace be upon him) staying along with people in 'Ara'fit.

Thereupon I said: By Allah, he is among the Hums (Quraish) ;

what has happened to him that he has come to this (place)? The

Quraish were counted among Hums.

Chapter 19: PERMISSIBILITY OF SAYING ONE HAS ENTERED INTO

IHRAM LIKE THE IHRAM OF THE OTHER ONE OR ABROGATION OF PUTTING

OFF IHRAM AND COMPLETING (HAJJ AND UMRA)

Bk 7, Number 2810:

Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the

Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as he was encamping

at Batha. He said to me: Did you intend to perform Hajj? I

said: Yes. He again said: With what intention have you entered

into the state of Ihram (for Ifrad, Qiran or Tamattu'). I

said: I pronounced Talbiya (I have entered into the state of

Ihram ) with that very aim with which the Apostle of Allah

(may peace be upon him) is pronouncing Talbiya. He (the Holy

Prophet) said; You have done well. Then circumambulate the

House and run between al−Safa' and al−Marwa' and put off Ihram

(as you have not brought the sacrificial animals along with

you). So I circumambulated the House, and ran between al−Safa'

and al−Marwa' and then came to a woman of the tribe of Qais

and she rid my head of the lice. I again put on Ihram for

Hajj. and continued giving religious verdict (according to

this practice) till during the Caliphate of Umar (Allah be

pleased with him) when a person said to him: Abu Musa, or

Abdullah b. Qais, exercise restraint in delivering some

religious verdict of yours, for you do not know what has been

introduced after you by the Commander of the Believers in the

rites (of Hajj). Thereupon he said: 0 people, whom we gave the

religious verdict (concerning putting off Ihram ) they should

wait, for the Commander of the Believers is about to come to

you, and you should follow him. Umar (Allah be pleased with

him) then came and I made a mention of it to him. whereupon he

said: If we abide by the Book of Allah (we find) the Book of

Allah has commanded us to complete the (. Hajj and 'Umra), and

if we abide by the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him), we find that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) did not put off Ihram till the sacrificial animal was

brought to its end (till it was sacrificed).

Bk 7, Number 2811:

This hadith has been narrated by Shu'ba with the same chain of

transmitters.

Bk 7, Number 2812:

Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came to the

Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he was

encamping at Batha. He (the Holy Prophet) said: With what

purpose have you entered into the state of Ihram? I said: I

have entered into the state of Ihram in accordance with the

Ihram of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). He said:

Have you brought sacrificial animals along with you? I said:

No. whereupon he said: Then circumambulate the House and run

between al−Safa' and al−Marwa and put off Ihram. So I

circumambulated the House, ran between al−Safa' and al−Marwa,

and then came to a woman of my tribe. She combed and washed my

head. I used to give religious verdict (according to the above

mentioned command of the Holy Prophet) during the Caliphate of

Abu Bakr and also during that of 'Umar. And it was during the

Hajj season that a person came to me and said: You (perhaps)

do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced

in the rites (of Hajj). I said: 0 people, those whom we have

given religious verdict about a certain thing should wait, for

the Commander of the Believers is about to arrive among you,

so follow him. When the Commander of the Believers arrived, I

said: What is this that you have introduced in the rites (of

Hajj)? −where upon he said: If we abide by the Book of Allah

(we find) that there Allah, Exalted and Majestic, has said:

Complete Hajj and 'Umra for Allah." And if we abide by the

Sunnah of our Apostle (may peace be upon him) (we find) that

the Apostle of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not put off

Ihram till he had sacrificed the animals.

Bk 7, Number 2813:

Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger

of Allah (May peace be upon im) had sent me to Yemen and I

came back In the year in which he (the Holy Prophet) performed

the (Farewell) Pilgrimage. Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon, him) said to me: Abu Musa, what did you ' say when you

entered into the state of Ihram? I said: At thy beck and call;

my (Ihram) is that of the Ihram of Allah's Apostle (May peace

be upon him). He said: Have you brought the sacrificial

animals? I said: No. Thereupon he said: Go and circumambulate

the House, and (run) between al−Safa' and al−Marwa and then

put off Ihram. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Bk 7, Number 2814:

Abu Musa, (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he used to

deliver religious verdict in favor of Hajj Tamattu'. A person

said to him: Exercise restraint in delivering some of your

religious verdicts, for you do not know what the Commander of

Believers has introduced in the rites (of Hajj) after you

(when you were away in Yemen). He (Abu Musa, ) met him (Hadrat

Umar) subsequently and asked him (about it), whereupon 'Umar

said: I know that Allah's Apostle (May peace be upon him) and

also his Companions did that (observed Tamattu'), but I do not

approve that the married persons should have intercourse with

their wives under the shade of the trees, and then set out for

Hajj with water trickling down from their beads.

PILGRIMAGE)

Bk 7, Number 2815:

pleased with him) ordered to do it. 'Uthman said a word to

'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu'

with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), whereupon

he said: It is right, but we entertained fear. This hadith has

been narrated by Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

Bk 7, Number 2816:

Sa'id b. al−Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman (Allah be

pleased with them) met at 'Usfan; and Uthman used to forbid

(people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umra (during the period

of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is your opinion about a

matter which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)

did but you forbid it? Thereupon Uthman said: You leave us

alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone.

When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together

(both for Hajj and 'Umra).

Bk 7, Number 2817:

Bk 7, Number 2823:

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Sulaiman

(but with a slight modification of words).

Bk 7, Number 2824:

Mutarrif reported: 'Imran b. Husain said to me: Should I not

narrate to you a hadith today by which Allah will benefit you

subsequently−and bear in mind that Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) made some members of his family perform

'Umra within ten days of Dhu'l−Hijja. No verse was revealed to

abrogate that, and he (the Holy Prophet) did not refrain from

doing it till he died. So after him everyone said as he liked,

(but it would be his. personal opinion and not the verdict of

the Shari'ah).

Bk 7, Number 2825:

This hadith been narrated on the authority of Jurairi with the

same chain of transmitters, and Ibn Hatim said in his

narration:" A person said according to his personal opinion,

and it was Umar."

Bk 7, Number 2826:

Imran b. Husain reported: I am narrating to you a hadith by

which Allah will benefit you (and the hadith is) that Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) combined Hajj and 'Umra, and

he did not forbid (this combination) till he died. (Moreover)

nothing was revealed in the Holy Qur'an which forbade it. And

I was always blessed till I was branded and then it (blessing)

was abandoned. I then abandoned branding and it (the blessing

was restored).

Bk 7, Number 2827:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mutarrif

with the same chain of transmitters.

Bk 7, Number 2828:

Mutarrif reported: 'Imran b. Husain sent for me during his

illness of which he died, and said: I am narrating to you some

ahadith which may benefit you after me. If I live you conceal

(the fact that these have been transmitted by me), and if I

die, then you narrate them if you like (and these are): I am

blessed, and bear in mind that the Messenger of Allah (may

peace be upon him) combined Hajj and Umra. Then no verse was

revealed in regard to it in the Book of Allah (which abrogated

it) and the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not

forbid (from doing it). And whatever a person (, Umar) said

was out of his personal opinion.

Bk 7, Number 2829:

'Imran b. al−Husain (Allah be pleased with him) said: Know

well that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) combined

'Hajj and 'Umra, and nothing was revealed in the Book (to

abrogate it), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon

him) too did not forbid us from (combining) them. And whatever

a person said was out of his personal opinion.

Bk 7, Number 2830:

'Imran b. Husain (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We

performed Tamattu' (Hajj and 'Umra combining together) in the

company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and

nothing was revealed in the Qur'an (concerning the abrogation

of this practice), and whatever a person (Hadhrat 'Umar) said

was his personal opinion. 'Imran b. Husain narrated this

hadith (in these words also):" Allah's Apostle (may peace be

upon him) performed Hajj Tamattu' and we also performed it

along with him."

Bk 7, Number 2831:

'Imran b. Husain said: There was revealed the verse of

Tamattu' in Hajj in the Book of Allah and the Messenger of

Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded us to perform it. and

then no verse was revealed abrogating the Tamattu' (form of

Hajj), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did

not forbid to do it till he died. So whatever a person said

was his personal opinion. A hadith like this is transmitted on

the authority of Imran b. Husain, but with this variation that

he ('Imran) said: We did that (Tamattu') in the company of

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he did not say

anything but he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us to do it.

BUT HE WHO DOES NOT DO IT IS REQUIRED TO OBSERVE FAST FOR

THREE DAYS DURING THE HAJJ AND FOR SEVEN DAYS WHEN HE RETURNS

TO THE FAMILY

Bk 7, Number 2832:

Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported:

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed Tamattu' in

Hajjat−ul−Wada'. He first put on Ihram for 'Umra and then for

Hajj. and then offered animal sacrifice. So he drove the

sacrificial animals with him from Dhu'l−Hulaifa. Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) commenced Ihram of Umra and

thus pronounced Talbiya for 'Umra. and then (put on Ihram for

Hajj) and pronounced Talbiya for Hajj. And the people

performed Tamattu' in the company of Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him). They put on Ihram for Umra (first) and

then for Hajj. Some of them had sacrificial animals which they

had brought with them, whereas some of them had none to

sacrifice. So when Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

came to Mecca, he said to the people: He who amongst you has

brought sacrificial animals along with him must not treat as

lawful anything which has become unlawful for him till he has

completed the Hajj; and he, who amongst you has not brought

the sacrificial animals should circumambulate the House, and

run between al−Safa' and al−Marwa and clip (his hair) and put

off the Ihram, and then again put on the Ihram for Hajj and

offer sacrifice of animals. But he who does not find the

sacrificial animal, he should observe fast for three days

during the Hajj and for seven days when he returns to his

family. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

circumambulated (the House) when he came to Mecca: he first

kissed the corner (of the Ka'ba containing the Black Stone),

then ran in three circuits out of seven and walked in four

circuits. And then when he had finished the circumambulation

of the House he observed two rak'ahs of prayer at the Station

(of Ibrahim), and then pronounced Salaam (for concluding the

rak'ahs), and departed and came to al−Safa' and ran seven

times between al−Safa' and al−Marwa. After that he did not

treat anything as lawful which had become unlawful till he had

completed his Hajj and sacrificed his animal on the day of

sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l−Hijja). and then went back quickly

(to Mecca) and performed circumambulation of the House (known

as tawaf ifada) after which all that was unlawful for him

became lawful; and those who had brought the sacrificial

animals along with them did as Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) had done. This hadith has been narrated on the

authority of 'A'isha. The wife of Allah's Messenger (may peace

be upon him), concerning his Tamattu' of Hajj and 'Umra and

performing of Tamattu' by people in his company.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's Apostle

(may peace be upon him), said: Messenger of Allah. what about

people who have put off Ihram whereas you have not put it off

after your 'Umra? He said: I have stuck my hair and have

driven my sacrificial animal, and would not, therefore, put

off Ihram until I have sacrificed the animal.

Bk 7, Number 2834:

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said: Messenger

of Allah what is the matter with you that you have not put off

Ihram? The rest of the hadith is the same.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said to Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him): What is the matter with

people that they have put off Ihram, whereas you have not put

animal and stuck my hair, and it is not permissible for me to

put off Ihram unless I have completed the Hajj.

Bk 7, Number 2836:

of the Holy Prophet):" I won't put off Ihram until I have

sacrificed the animal."

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said that Allah's Apostle

(may peace be upon him) commanded his wives that they should

put off Ihram during the year of Hajj (at−ul−Wada'). whereupon

she (Hafsa) said: What hinders you that you have not put off

Ihram? Thereupon he said: I have stuck my hair and driven my

sacrificial animal along with men and it is not permissible to

put off Ihram (under this condition until I have sacrificed

the animal.

OF QIRAN

Bk 7, Number 2838:

Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with

them) set out for Umra during the turmoil, and he said: If I

am detained (from going to) the House, we would do the same as

we did with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). So he

went out and put on Ihram for 'Umra and moved on until he

reached al−Baida'. He turned towards his Companions and said:

There is one command for both of them. and 1 call you as my

witness (and say) that verify I have− made Hajj with 'Umra

compulsory for me. He proceeded until, when he came to the

House, he circumambulated it seven times and ran between

al−Safa' and al−Marwa seven times, and made no addition to it

and thought it to be sufficient for him and offered sacrifice.

Bk 7, Number 2839:

Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. 'Abdullah and Salim b.

Abdullah said to 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) at the time when Hajjaj

came to fight against Ibn Zubair: There would be no harm if

you do not (proceed) for Hajj this year, for we fear that

there would be fight among people which would cause

obstruction between you and the House, whereupon he said: If

there would be obstruction between me and that (Ka'ba), I

would do as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) did. I

was with him (the Holy Prophet) when the infidels of Quraish

caused obstructions between him (the Holy Prophet) and the

House. I call you as my witness (to the fact) that I have made

'Umra essential for me. He proceeded until he came to

Dhu'l−Hulaifa and pronounced Talbiya for Umra, and said: If

the way Is clear forme, I would then complete my 'Umra but If

there is some obstruction between me and that (the Ka'ba). I

would then do what Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

had done (at the occasion of Hudaibiya), and I was with him

(the Holy Prophet). and then recited:" Verily in the Messenger

of Allah, there is a model pattern for you" (xxxiii. 21). He

then moved on until he came to the rear side of al−Baida' and

said: There is one command for both of them automatically)

(Hajj and Umra). If I am detained (in the performance) of

'Umra, I am ( automatically detained (in the performance) of

Hajj (too). I call you as witness that Hajj along with 'Umra I

had made essential for me. (I am performing Hajj and 'Umra as

Qiran.) He then bought sacrificial animals at Qudaid and then

circumambulated the House and ran between al−Safa' and

al−Marwa once (covering both Hajj and Umra), and did not put

off Ihram until on the Day of Sacrifice in the month of

Dhu'l−Hijja.

Bk 7, Number 2840:

Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar intended to go to Hajj (during

the year) when Hajjaj attacked Ibn Zubair, and he narrated the

account as (narrated above), and he used to say at the end of

the hadith: He who combines Hajj with Umra, for him one single

circumambulation is sufficient, and he did not put off Ihram

until he had completed both of them.

Bk 7, Number 2841:

Nafi' reported that Ibn Umar intended to go for Hajj during

the year when Hajjaj attacked Ibn Zubair. It was said to him:

There is a state of war between people and we fear that they

would detain you, whereupon he ('Abdullah b. Umar) said:"

Verily in the Messenger of Allah there is a model pattern for

you." I would do as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

did. I call you as witness that I have undertaken to perform

'Umra. He then set out until, when he reached the rear side of

al−Baida', he said: There is one command both for Hajj and

Umra. so bear witness. Ibn Rumh said: I call you as witness

that I have undertaken to perform my Hajjalong with my Umra

(i. e. I am performing both of them as Qiran), and he offered

the sacrifice of animals which he had bought at Qudaid. He

then proceeded pronouncing Talbiya for both of them together

until he reached Mecca, He circumambulated the House. and

(ran) between al−Safa' and al−Marwa and made no addition to

it. He neither sacrificed the animal, nor got his head shaved,

nor got his hair clipped, nor did he make anything lawful

which was unlawful (due to Ihram) until it was the Day of

Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l−Hijja). He then offered sacrifice,

and got his hair cut, and saw that circumambulation of Hajj

and 'Umra was complete with the first circumambulation. Ibn

'Umar said: This is how Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) had done.

Bk 7, Number 2842:

This hadith has been narrated from Ibn Umar through another

chain of transmitters except with (this variation) that

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) was mentioned in the

first part of the hadith,. i. e. when it was said to him: They

would bar you (from going) to the House. He said: In that,

case I would do what Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

had done. He did not mention at the end of this hadith (i. e.

these words):" This is how the Messenger of Allah (may peace

be upon him) had done," as it Is narrated by al−Laith.

entered into the state of Ihram (with the intention) of Hajj

Mufrad."

Bk 7, Number 2844:

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard Allah's Apostle

(way peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for both Hajj and

Umra. Bakr (one of the narrators) said: I narrated it to Ibn

'Umar, whereupon he said: He (the Holy Prophet) pronounced the

Talbiya for Hajj alone. I met Anas and narrated to him the

words of Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he said: You treat us not but

only as children. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) pronouncing Talbiya both for 'Umra and Hajj.

Bk 7, Number 2845:

Bakr b. 'Abdullah reported: Anas (Allah be pleased with him)

had narrated to us that he saw Allah's Apostle (may peace be

upon him) combining Hajj and 'Umra. He (Bakr) said: I asked

the state of Ihram for Hajj (only). I came to Anas and told

him what Ibn Umar had said, whereupon he remarked: (You are

treating us) as if we were children.

Wabara reported: While I was sitting in the company of Ibn

'Umar, a person came to him and said: Is it right for me to

circumambulate the House before I come to stay (at 'Arafat)?

Ibn 'Umar said: Yes. whereupon he said: Ibn Abbas, however,

says: Do not circumambulate the House until you come to stay

at 'Arafat. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) Performed the Hajj and circumambulated the

House before coming to stay (at 'Arafat). If you say the

Truth, is it more rightful to follow the saying of the Prophet

(may peace be upon him) or the words of Ibn Abbas?

Bk 7, Number 2847:

Wabara reported: A person asked Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased

with him): May I circumambulate the House, whereas I have

entered−into the state of Ihram for Hajj? Thereupon he said:

What prevents you from doing it? He said: I saw the son of so

and so showing disapproval of it, and you are dearer to us as

compared with him. And we see that he is allured by the world,

whereupon he said: Who amongst you and us is not allured by

the world? And said (further) ': 'We saw that Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) put on Ihram for Hajj and

circumambulated the House and run between al Safa' and

al−Marwa. And the way prescribed by Allah and that prescribed

by His Apostle (may peace be upon him) deserve more to be

followed than the way shown by so and so, if you speak the

truth.

Bk 7, Number 2848:

Amr b. Dinar said: We asked Ibn Umar about a person who came

for Umra and circumambulated the House, but he did not run

between al−Safa' and al−Marwa, whether he is allowed to (put

off Ihram) and have intercourse with his wife. He replied:

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) circumambulated the

House seven times and offered two rak'ahs of prayer after

staying (at 'Arafat), and ran between al−Safa and al−Marwa

seven times." Verily there is in Allah's Messenger a model

pattern for you" (xxxill. 21).

CIRCUMAMBULATION OF ARRIVAL)

Bk 7, Number 2850:

Muhammad b. 'Abd al−Rahman reported: A person from Iraq said

to him to inquire from 'Urwa b. Zubair for him whether a

person who puts on Ihram for Hajj is allowed to put it off or

not as he circumambulates the House. And if he says:" No, it

can't be put off," then tell him that there is a person who

makes such an assertion. He (Muhammad b. 'Abd al−Rahman) then

said: I asked him ( Urwa b. Zubair), where− upon he said: The

person who has entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj cannot

get out of it unless he has, completed the Hajj I (further)

said (to him): (What) if a person makes that assertion?

Thereupon he said: It is indeed unfortunate that he makes such

an assertion. That person ('Iraqi) then met me and he asked me

and I narrated to him (the reply of 'Urwa), whereupon he (the

Iraqi) said: Tell him ('Urwa) that a person had informed him

that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had done that;

and why is it that Asma' and Zubair have done like this? He

(Muhammad b. 'Abd al−Rahman) said: I went to him and made a

mention of that to him, whereupon he ('Urwa) said: Who is he

(the 'Iraqi)? I said: I do not know, whereupon he said: What

is the matter that he does not come to me himself and ask me?

I suppose he is an 'Iraqi. I said: I do not know, whereupon he

said: He has told a lie. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) performed Hajj, and 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)

has told me that the first thing with which he commenced (the

rituals) when he arrived at Mecca was that he performed

ablution and then circumambulated the Ka'ba. Then Abu Bakr

performed Hajj and the first thing with which he commenced

(the Hajj) as the circumambulation of the Ka'ba and nothing

besides it. So did 'Umar. Then 'Uthman performed Hajj and I

saw that the first thing with which he commenced the Hajj was

the circumambulation of the Ka'ba and nothing besides it. Then

Mu'awiya and Abdullah b. 'Umar did that. Then I performed Hajj

with my father Zubair b. al−'Awwam, and the first thing with

which he commenced (Hajj) was the circumambulation of the

House. He then did nothing besides it. I then saw the

emigrants (Muhajirin) and the helpers (Ansar) doing like this

and nothing besides it. And the last one whom I saw doing like

this was Ibn 'Umar. And he did not break it (the Hajj) after

performing 'Umra. And Ibn 'Umar is with them. Why don't they

ask him (to testify it)? And none amongst those who had passed

away commenced (the rituals of Hajj) but by circumambulating

the Ka'ba on their (first arrival) and they did not put off

Ihram (without completing the Hajj), and I saw my mother and

my aunt commencing (their Hajj) with the circumambulation of

the House, and they did not put off Ihram. My mother informed

me that she came and her sister, and Zubair and so and so for

'Umra, and when they had kissed the corner (the Black Stone,

after Sa'i and circumambulation), they put off Ihram. And he

(the 'Iraqi) has told a lie in this matter.

Bk 7, Number 2851:

Asma bint Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with both of them)

reported: We set out (to Mecca) in a state of Ihram. Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He who has the

sacrificial animal with him should remain in the state of

Ihram, but he who has not the sacrificial animal with him

should put off Ihram. As I had not the sacrificial animal with

me, I put off Ihram. And since Zubair (her husband) − had the

sacrificial animal with him, he did not put off Ihram. She

(Asma) said: I put on my clothes and then went out and sat by

Zabair, whereupon he said: Go away from me, whereupon I said:

Do you fear that I would jump upon you?

Bk 7, Number 2852:

Asma bint Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with th (m) said: We came

for Hajj in the state of Ihram with Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him). The rest of the hadith is the same except

(for the words) that he (Zubair) said: Keep away from me, keep

away from me, whereupon I said: Do you fear that I will jump

upon you?

Bk 7, Number 2853:

Abdullah, the freed slave of Asma' bint Abu Bakr (Allah be

pleased with them), narrated that he used to hear Asma, '

whenever she passed by Hajun, saying (these words):" May there

be peace and blessing of Allah upon His Messenger." We used to

stay here along with him with light burdens. Few were our

rides, and small were our provisions. I performed 'Umra and so

did my sister 'A'isha, and Zubair and so and so. And as we

touched the House (performed circumambulation and Sa'i) we put

off Ihram, and then again put on Ihram in the afternoon for

Hajj. Harun (one of the narrators) in one of the narrations

said: The freed slave of Asma' and he did not mention

'Abdullah.

Chapter 27: CONCERNING TAMATTU' IN HAJJ

Bk 7, Number 2854:

Muslim al−Qurri reported: I asked Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased

with them) about Tamattu' in Hajj and he permitted it, whereas

Ibn Zubair had forbidden it. He (Ibn 'Abbas) said: This is the

mother of Ibn Zubair who states that Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) had permitted it, so you better go to her

and ask her about it. He (Muslim al−Qurri said): So we went to

her and she was a bulky blind lady and she said: Verily

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) permitted it.

Bk 7, Number 2855:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with

the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of

words.

Bk 7, Number 2856:

Muslim al−Qurri heardlbn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them)

saying that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) entered

into the state of Ihram for Umra and his Companions for Hajj.

Neither Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) nor those

among his Companions who had brought sacrificial animals with

them put off Ihram, whereas the rest (of the pilgrims) did so.

Talha b. Ubaidullah was one of those who had brought the

sacrificial animals along with them so he did not put off

Ihram.

Bk 7, Number 2857:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with

the same chain of transmitters but with this variation (of

words):" Talha and another person also were among those who

had not brought the sacrificial animals with them and so they

put off Ihram."

Chapter 28: PERMISSIBILITY OF 'UMRA DURING THE MONTHS OF HAJJ

Bk 7, Number 2858:

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that they (the

Arabs of pre−Islamic days) looked upon Umra during the months

of Hajj as the greatest of sins on the earth. So they

intercalated the month of Muharram for Safar and said: When

the backs of their camels would become all right and traces

(if the pilgrims) would be effaced (from the paths) and the

month of Safar would be over, then Umra would be permissible

for one who wants to perform it. When Allah's Apostle (may

peace be upon him) and his Companions came in the state of

Ihram for performing Hajj on the fourth (of Dhu'l−Hijja) he

(Allah's Apostle) commanded them to change their state of

Ihram (from Hajj) to that of 'Umra. It was something

inconceivable for them. So they said: Messenger of Allah, is

it a complete freedom (of the obligation) of Ihram? Thereupon

he said: It is a complete freedom (from Ihram).

Bk 7, Number 2859:

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) 'is reported to have

said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) put on

Ihigm for Hajj. When four days of Dhu'l−Hijja were over, he

led the dawn prayer, and when the prayer was complete, he

said: He who wants to change it to Umra may do so.

Bk 7, Number 2860:

Rauh and Yahya b. Kathir narrated as Nasr reported that the

Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) entered into the

state of Ihram for Hajj. And in the narration of Abu Shihab

(the words are): We went out with the Messenger of Allah (may

peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for Hajj, And in an the

ahadith (narrated in this connection the words are): He led

the morning prayer at al−Batha', except al− jahdami who did

not make mention of it.

Bk 7, Number 2861:

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) came along with his

Companions when four days had passed out of ten days (of

Dhu'l−Hijja) and they were pronouncing Talbiya for Hajj, and

he (the Holy Prophet) commanded them to change (this Ihram)

into that of 'Umra.

Bk 7, Number 2862:

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed the morning prayer

at Dhu Tawa (a valley near Mecca) and arrived (in Mecca) when

four days of Dhul−Hijja had passed and he commanded his

Companions that they should change their Ihram (of Hajj) to

that of Umra, except those who had brought sacrificial animals

with them.

Bk 7, Number 2863:

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: This is the 'Umra

of which we have taken advantage. So he who has not the

sacrificial animal with him should get out of the state of

Ihram completely, for 'Umra has been incorporated in Hajj

until the Day of Resurrection,

Bk 7, Number 2864:

Abu Jam at al−Dubu'i reported: I performed Tamattu' but the

people dis− couraged me to do so. I came to Ibn 'Abbas and

asked him about it. He ordered me to do so. I came to the

House (Ka'ba) and slept. I saw a visitant in the dream who

said: 'Umra is acceptable and so is the Hajj performed for

God's sake. I came to Ibn Abbas and informed him about that

Which I saw in the dream whereupon he said: Allah is the

Greatest, Allah is the Greatest This is the Sunnah of

Abu'l−Qasim (the Holy Pro− phet) (may peace be upon him).

Chapter 29: GARLANDING THE SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS, AND MARKING

THEM

Bk 7, Number 2865:

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed the Zuhr prayer at

Dhu'l−Hulaifa; then called for his she−camel and marked it on

the right side of its bump, removed the blood from it, and

tied two sandals round its neck. He then mounted his camel,

and when it brought him up to al−Baida', he pronounced Talbiya

for the Pilgrimage.

Bk 7, Number 2866:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatada with

the same chain of transmitters but with this variation (of

words):" When Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) came to

Dhu'l−Hulaifa" and he made no mention (of the fact) that he

led the Zuhr prayer.

Chapter 30: SAYING OF PEOPLE TO IBN 'ABBAS: WHAT IS THIS

RELIGIOUS VERDICT OF YOURS THAT HAS ENGAGED THE ATTENTION OF

THE PEOPLE?

Bk 7, Number 2867:

Abu Hassan al−A'raj reported that a person from Bani Hujaim

said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them): What is this

religious verdict of yours which has engaged the attention of

the people or which has become a matter of dispute among them

that he who circumambulated the House can be free from Ihram?

Thereupon he said: That is the Sunnah of your Apostle (may

peace be upon him), even though you may not approve of it.

Bk 7, Number 2868:

Abu Hassan reported: It was said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be

pleased with them) that this affair had engaged the attention

of the people that he who circumambu− lates the House was

permitted to circumambulate for Umra (even though he was in a

state of Ihram for Hajj), whereupon he said: That is the

Sunnah of your Apostle (may peace be upon him), even though

you may not approve of it.

Bk 7, Number 2869:

Ata' said: Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) used to say

that a pilgrim or non−pilgrim (one performing 'Umar) who

circumambulates the House is free from the responsibility of

Ihram. I (Ibn Juraij, one of the narrators) said to 'Ata': On

what authority does he (Ibn Abbas) say this? He said: On the

authority uf Allah's words:" Then their place of sacrifice is

the Ancient House" (al−Qur'an, xxii. 33). I said: It concerns

the time after staying at 'Arafat, whereupon he said: Ibn

'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) had stated (that the place

of sacrifice is the Ancient House) ; it way be after staying

at 'Arafat or before (staying there). And he (Ibn Abbas) made

this deduction I from the command of Allah's Apostle (may

peace be upon him) when he had ordered to put off Ihram on the

occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage.

Ibn Abbas reported that Mu'awiya had said to them: Do you know

you.

loudly the Talbiya for Hajj When we came to Mecca, he

commanded us that we should change this (Ibrim for Hajj) to

that of Umra except one who had brought the sacrificial animal

with him. When it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l−Hijja)

and we went to Mini, we (again) pronounced Talbiya for Hajj.

Bk 7, Number 2873:

jibir and Abil Salld al−Khudri (Allah be pleased with them)

Abbas and Ibn Zubair about two Mut'as (benefits, Tamattul in

Messenger (way peace be upon him), and then 'Umar forbade us

to do so, and we never resorted to them.

intention with which Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

has put on Ibram, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Had

there not been the sacrificial animals with me, I would have

put off Ibram (after performing 'Umra). This hadith is

narrated by Salim b. Hayyin with the same chain of

transmitters, but with a slight variation of words.

Bk 7, Number 2876:

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for both

you listening to what Abu Abd al−Rabman is saying? She said:

(may peace be upon him) performed 'Umra during the month of

Rajab, whereupon she said: May Allah grant pardon to Abu Abd

al−Rahman I By my life he (the Holy Prophet) did not perform

'Umra during the month of Rajab. And never was there an Umra

performed by him (the Holy Prophet) in which he ('Abdullah b.

'Umar) did not join him. Ibn 'Umar heard this and said nothing

saying? She said: What is he saying? Thereupon he ('Urwa)

said: He (Ibn 'Umar) states that Allah's Apostle (may peace be

not perform Hajj along with us? She said: We have only two

camels for carrying water. One of the camels has been taken by

my husband and my son for performing Hajj and one has been

left for us for carrying water, whereupon he (the Holy

Prophet) said: So when the month of Ramadan come, perform

Umra, for'Umra in this (month) is equal to Hajj (in reward).

Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased

with them): Do you think that walking swiftly round the House

in three circuits, and just walking in four circuits is the

Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet), for your people say that it is

Sunnah? Thereupon he (Ibn 'Abbas) said: They have told the

truth and the lie (too). I said: What do your words" They have

told the truth and the lie (too)" imply? Thereupon he said:

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to Mecca and

the polytheists said that Mubammad and his Companions had

emaciated and would, therefore, be unable to circumambulate

the House; and they felt jealous of him (the Holy Prophet).

(It was due to this) that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) commanded them to walk swiftly in three (circuits) and

walk (normally) in four. I said to him: Inform me if it is

Sunnah to observe Tawaf between al−Safa and al−Marwa while

riding, for your people look upon it as Sunnah. He (Ibn Abbas)

said: They have told the truth and the lie too. I said: What

do your words" They have told the truth and the lie tool,

iMply? He said: as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

had come to Mecca, there was such a large gathering of people

around him that even the virgins had come out of their houses

(to catch a glimpse of his face). and they were saying: He is

Muhammad; He is Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) (was so gentle and kind) that the people were not beaten

back (to make way) in front of him. When there was a; throng

(of people) around him, he rode (the she−camel) but walking

and trotting is, however, better.

Bk 7, Number 2901:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of jurairi with

the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of

words (and this is) that he (the narrator) did not say:" They

felt jealous of him. but said: The people of Mecca, were

jealous people."

Bk 7, Number 2902:

Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased

with them): People are of the view that Allah's Messenger (may

al−Safa and al−Marwa, and (thus) it is Sunnah. He said: They

told the truth and they told the lie.

Bk 7, Number 2903:

Abu Tufail reported; I. said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased

with them): I think that I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him). He (Ibn 'Abbis) said' Give a description of him to

me. I said: I saw him near al−Marwa on the back of a she−

camel, and people had thronged around him. Thereupon Ibn'Abbis

said: It was Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) for

Chapter 41: SA'I BETWEEN AL−SAFA' AND AL−MARWA IS AN ESSENTIAL

RITE OF HAJJ AND HAJJ IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT IT

Bk 7, Number 2923:

Hisham b. 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father who

narrated from 'A'isha. He said to 'A'isha: I think if a person

does not run between al− Safa' and al−Marwa, It does not do

any harm to him (so far as Hajj is concerned). She said: Why

(do you think so)? I said: For Allah says:" Verily al−Safa'

and al−Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" (ii. 158) (to the

end of the verse), whereupon she said: Allah does not complete

the Hajj of a person or his Umra if he does not observe Sa'i

between al−Safa' and al−marwa; and if it were so as you state,

then (the wording would have been (fala janah an la yatufu

biha) [" There is no harm for him if he does not

circumambulate between them']. Do you know in what context

(this verse was revealed)? (It was revealed in this context)

that the Ansar in the Days of Ignorance pronounced the Talbiya

for two idols. (fixedl on the bank of the river which were

called Isaf and Na'ila. The people went there, and then

circumambulated between al−Safa' and al−Marwa and then got

their heads shaved. With the advent of Islam they (the

Muslims) did not like to circumambulate between them as they

used to do during the Days of Ignorance. It was on account of

this that Allah. the Exalted and Majestic, revealed:" Verily

al−Safe and al−Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" to the end

of the verse. She said: Then people began to observe Sa'i.

Bk 7, Number 2924:

Hisham b. 'Urwa narrated on the authority of his father who

reported: I said to 'A'isha: I do not see any harm to me if I

do not circumambulate betweez al−Safa' and al−Marwa. She said:

On what ground do you say so? (I said: ) Since Allah, the

Exalted and Majestic, says:" Verily al−Safa' and al−Marwa are

among the Signs of Allah." It (your assertion) were (correct),

it would have been said like this:" There is no harm for him,

that he should not circumambulate between them." It (this

verse) has been revealed about the people of Ansar. Whenever

they pronounced the Talbiya, they pronounced it in the name of

al−Manat during the Days of Ignorance; so they (thought) that

it was not permissible for them (for the Muslims) to

circumambulate between and al−Marwa. When they (the Muslims)

came with Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) for Hajj,

they mentioned it to him. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic,

revealed this verse. By my life, Allah will not complete the

Hajj of one who has not circumambulated between al−Safa and

al−Marwa.

Bk 7, Number 2925:

'Urwa b. Zabair reported: I said to 'A'isha, the wife of

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him): I do not see any

(fault) in one who does not circumambl" te between al−Safa'

and al−Marwa, and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate

between them, whereupon she said: O, the son of my sister,

what you say is wrong. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) observed Sa'i and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah

(of the Prophet). And it was a common practice (with the pagan

Arabs) that those who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched

al−Manat, situated at Mushalla, did not observe Sa'i between

al−Safa' and al−Marwa. With the advent of Islam, we asked

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) about this practice,

and (it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and

Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily al−Safa' and al−Marwa

are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performed Hajj or

'Umra it is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And if

it were as you state, (then the wording would have been):"

There is no harm for him, that he should not circumambulate

round them." Zuhri said: I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr

b. 'Abd al− Rahman b. al−Harith b. Hisham; he was impressed by

that and said: This is what is called knowledge. And I have

heard many a scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not

circumambulate between al−Safa' and al−Marwa caid: Our

circumambulation between these two hills is an act of

ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have been

commanded to circumambulate the House, and not Commanded to

run between al−Safa' and al−Marwa. So Allah, the Exalted and

Majestic, revealed thia verse:" Verily al−Safa' and al−Marwa

are among the Signs of Allah." Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al−Rahman

said: I think that this (verse) has been revealed for such and

such (persons).

Bk 7, Number 2926:

'Urwa b. Zubair reported: I asked 'A'isha (Allah be pleased

with her) ; the rest of the hadith is the same. And in this

hadith (these words are also found):" When they (the

Companions of the Holy Prophet) asked Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) about this, they said: Messenger of Allah,

we felt reluctant to circumambulate between al−Safa' and

al−Marwa. Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this

verse:" Verily al−Safa' and al−Marwa are among the Signs of.

Allah so he who perform Hajj or Umra it is no sin on him if he

should circumambulate between them. 'A'isha (Allah be pleased

with her) said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) laid

down this Sa'i between them as Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet).

So it is not advisable for anyone to abandon this Sa'i between

them.

Bk 7, Number 2927:

'Urwa b. Zabair narrated on the authority of 'A'isha (Allah be

pleased with her) who informed him that the Ansar and the

people of the tribe of Ghassan before embracing Islam

pronounced Talbiya for Manat, and so they avoided

circumambulating between al−Safa' and al−Marwa, and it was a

common practice with their forefather, that he who put on

Ihram for Manat did not circumambulate between al−Safa' and

al−Marwa. And when they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) about it, and then Allah,

the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily

al−Safa' and al−Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he

who performs Hajj or Umra, for him there is no harm if he

should circumambulate between them, and he who does good

spontaneously−surely Allah is Bountiful in rewarding and

Knowing.

Bk 7, Number 2928:

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Ansar felt

reluctant that they should circumambulate between al−Safa' and

al−Marwa until it was revealed:" Verily al−Safa' and al−Marwa

are among the Signs of Allah" ; so whoever performs Hajj or

'Umra, for him there is no harm that he should circumambulate

between them.

Chapter 42: SA'I SHOULD NOT BE REPEATED

Bk 7, Number 2929:

Ibn Juraij reported on the same authority a hadith like that,

and said: But one Tawaf and that was the first Tawaf.

peace be upon him) reached the left side of the mountain which

was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and

made water and then came back. I poured water and he,

performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it

is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station,

Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger (may peaced be upon him) rode on

until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al−Fadl

(Allah be pleased with him) sat behind Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning.

Kuraib said: 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them)

Apostle (may peace be upon him) made al−Fadl sit behind him

(on the camel back) from the place (where the two prayers) are

combined (Muzdalifa). Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them)

also informed that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) did

not stop pronouncing Talbiya till he threw pebbles at Jamrat

al−'Aqaba.

Bk 7, Number 2933:

Ibn 'Abbas narrated from al−Fadl b. Abbas (Allah be pleased

with them) who sat behind Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) that he (the Holy Prophet) said to the people on the

evening of 'Arafa and on the morning to the gathering of

people (at Muzdalifa) as they were pushing on to proceed

slowly. And he himself drove his she−camel with restraint

until he entered Muhassir (it is a place in Mina), and further

told them to take up pebbles which were to be thrown at Jamra.

And Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) continued

pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra. This hadith has

been narrated on the authority of Abd Zubair with the same

chain of transmitters but with this variation that in the

hadith no mention is made of (this) that Allah's Messenger

(may peace be upon him) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he

stoned the Jamra, and he made this addition in his hadith:"

The Apostle (may peace be upon him) pointed with his hand how

a person should catch hold of pebbles (in order to throw

them)."

Bk 7, Number 2934:

'Abdullah narrated to us as we had gathered (at Muzdalifa): I

have heard from one upon whom Surah al−Baqara was revealed

(the Holy Prophet) pronouncing Talbiya at this place.

Bk 7, Number 2935:

'Abd al−Rahman b. Yazid reported that 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud)

pronounced Talbiya as he returned from the gathering of the

people (at Muzdalifa). It was said: He might be a Bedouin (not

knowing correctly the rituals of Hajj and, therefore,

pronouncing Talbia at this stage), whereupon Abdullah said:

Hive the people forgotten (this Sunnah of the Holy Prophet) or

have they gone astray? I heard him, upon whom Sibrah al−Baqara

was revealed, pronouncing Talbiya at the very place.

the multitude (set forth). He (Allah's Apostle) gave her the

permission. So she set forth before his (Holy Prophet's)

departure. But we stayed there until it was dawn and we moved

on, when he departed. And if I were to seek the permission of
