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

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) then said, "Whoever has the Hadi with him should assume Ihram for Hajj along with 'Umrah and should not finish the Ihram till he finishes both." I was menstruating when I reached Makkah, and so I neither did Tawaf round the Ka’bah nor Tawaf between Safa and Marwah. I complained about that to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) on which he replied, "Undo and comb your head hair, and assume Ihram for Hajj (only) and leave the Umrah." So, I did so. When we had performed the Hajj, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) sent me with my brother 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to Tan'im. So I performed the 'Umrah. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said to me, "This 'Umrah is instead of your missed one." Those who had assumed Ihram for 'Umrah (Hajj-at-Tamattu) performed Tawaf round the Ka'bah and between Safa and Marwah and then finished their Ihram. After returning from Mina, they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and Marwah).

Narrated by Abu Musa (Radhi Allahu Anhu): The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found him at Al-Batha. He asked me, "With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umrah or for both?") I replied, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam)." He asked, "Have you a Hadi with you?" I replied in the negative. He ordered me to perform Tawaf round the Ka'bah and between Safa and Marwah and then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, "If we follow Allah's Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umrah; as Allah says: "Perform the Hajj and Umrah for Allah."

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

Hadith Number 632.

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


* Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anhu) did not perform the Tawaf. Here she means by “we” her companions.
** “Aqra Halqa” is just an exclamation expression the literal meaning of which is not meant here. It expresses disapproval.


Hadith Number 633.

Narrated by ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): We set out with Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) (to Makkah) in the year of the Prophet’s (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) Last Hajj. Some of us had assumed Ihram for 'Umrah only, some for both Hajj and 'Umrah, and others for Hajj only. Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) assumed Ihram for Hajj. So whoever had assumed Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and 'Umrah did not finish the Ihram till the day of sacrifice. (See Hadith No. 631, 636, and 639).

Hadith Number 635.

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

They asked, 'How can we make it 'Umrah (Tamattu') as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, 'Do what I have ordered you.

He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they could not include it inside the building of Ka’bah)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?" He replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included the (area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka’bah and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the ground."

That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the Ka’bah. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka’bah and included in it a portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka’bah which is at present in the form of a compound towards the north-west of the Ka’bah).

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) did not order them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of pity for them.

Hadith Number 700.

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

Hadith Number 702.

Narrated by ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): We set out with Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) in the year of his Last Hajj and we mended (the Ihram) for 'Umrah. Then the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Whoever has a Hadi with him should assume Ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah, and should not finish it till he performs both of the them (Hajj and 'Umrah)." When we reached Makkah, I had my menses. When we had performed our Hajj, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) sent me with 'Abdur-Rahman to Tan'im and I performed the 'Umrah. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "This is in lieu of your missed 'Umrah." Those who had assumed Ihram for 'Umrah performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwah) and then finished their Ihram. And then they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and Marwah) after returning from Mina. And those who had assumed lhram for Hajj and 'Umrah together (Hajj-Qiran) performed only one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwah).


Hadith Number 703.

Narrated by Nafi': 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) and his riding animal entered the house of Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma). He (the son of Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu)) said, "I fear that this year a battle might take place between the people and you might be prevented from going to the Ka’bah. I suggest that you should stay here." Ibn Umar said, "Once Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) set out for the pilgrimage, and the pagans of Quraish intervened between him and the Ka’bah. So, if the people intervened between me and the Ka’bah, I would do the same as Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) had done... "Verily, in Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) you have a good example." Then he added, "I make you a witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with 'Umrah." After arriving at Makkah, Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) performed one Tawaf only (between Safa and Marwah).


Hadith Number 704.

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

Hadith Number 705.

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


Hadith Number 706.

Narrated by 'Urwa: I asked ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): "How do you interpret the statement of Allah: Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, and whoever performs the Hajj to the Ka’bah or performs 'Umrah, it is not harmful for him to perform Tawaf between them (Safa and Marwah.) (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158). By Allah! (it is evident from this revelation) there is no harm if one does not perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah." ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) said, "O, my nephew! Your interpretation is not true. Had this interpretation of yours been correct, the statement of Allah should have been, 'It is not harmful for him if he does not perform Tawaf between them.' But in fact, this divine inspiration was revealed concerning the Ansar who used to assume lhram for worshipping an idol called "Manat" which they used to worship at a place called Al-Mushallal before they embraced Islam, and whoever assumed Ihram (for the idol), would consider it not right to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah.

When they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) regarding it, saying, "O Allah's Messenger! We used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwah." So Allah revealed: 'Verily; (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.'" ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) added, "Surely, Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) set the tradition of Tawaf between Safa and Marwah, so nobody is allowed to omit the Tawaf between them." Later on I ('Urwa) told Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman (of ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha)'s narration) and he said, 'i have not heard of such information, but I heard learned men saying that all the people, except those whom ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) mentioned and who used to assume lhram for the sake of Manat, used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah.

When Allah referred to the Tawaf of the Ka’bah and did not mention Safa and Marwah in the Qur’an, the people asked, 'O Allah's Messenger! We used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah and Allah has revealed (the verses concerning) Tawaf of the Ka’bah and has not mentioned Safa and Marwah. Is there any harm if we perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah?' So Allah revealed: "Verily As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah." Abu Bakr said, "It seems that this verse was revealed concerning the two groups, those who used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwah in the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance and those who used to perform the Tawaf then, and after embracing Islam they refrained from the Tawaf between them as Allah had enjoined Tawaf of the Ka’bah and did not mention Tawaf (of Safa and Marwah) till later after mentioning the Tawaf of the Ka’bah.'

Hadith Number 707.

Narrated by Nafi': Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) said, "When Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) performed the first Tawaf he did Ramal in the first three rounds and then walked in the remaining four rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka’bah), where as in performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwah he used to run in the midst of the rain-water passage," I asked Nafi', "Did 'Abdullah (bin ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma)) use to walk steadily on reaching the Yemenite Corner?" He replied, "No, unless people were crowded at the Corner; otherwise he would not leave it without touching it."


Hadith Number 708.

Narrated by 'Amr bin Dinar : We asked Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) whether a man who, while performing 'Umrah, had performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwah, could have sexual relation with his wife, Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) replied "The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) reached Makkah and performed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) of the Ka’bah and then offered a two-Rakat prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim and then performed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwah." He added, "Verily! In Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah (the same question) and he said, "He should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and Marwah."


Hadith Number 709.

Narrated by 'Amr bin Dinar: I heard Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) saying, "The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) arrived at Makkah and performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah and then offered a two-Rakat prayer and then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwah." Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) then recited (the verse): "Verily! In Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) you have a good example."


Hadith Number 710.

Narrated by Asim : I asked Anas bin Malik (Radhi Allahu Anhu): "Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah?" He said, "Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, till Allah revealed: 'Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka’bah, or performs 'Umrah, to perform Tawaf between them.'" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158)


Hadith Number 711.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) : Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah and the Sa'i of Safa and Marwah so as to show his strength to the pagans.


Hadith Number 712.

Narrated by ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): I was menstruating when I reached Makkah. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah, nor the Tawaf between Safa and Marwah. Then I informed Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) about it. He replied, "Perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka’bah till you get clean (from your menses)."


Hadith Number 713.

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

Hadith Number 714.

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

He relied, "(He offered these prayers) at Mina." I asked, "Where did he offer the 'Asr prayer on the day of Nafr (i.e. departure from Mina on the 12th or 13th of Dhul-Hijja)?" He replied, "At Al-Abtah," and then added, "You should do as your chiefs do."

On the Day of 'Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) came along with me and shouted near Al-Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with safflower, and said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?" He said, If you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) then proceed (to 'Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "At this very hour?" Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) said, "Yes." He replied, "Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a bath) and come out." Then Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu)). I said to him, "If you want to follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at 'Arafat." He started looking at 'Abdullah (Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu)) (inquiringly), and when 'Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.

Those to whom the Hums did not give clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka’bah naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse) directly from 'Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifah. 'Urwa added, "My father narrated that ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) had said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then depart from the place whence all the people depart... (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:199) 'Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at Al-Muzdalifah and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to 'Arafat (by Allah's order)."

'Abdullah added, "I saw the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) doing that."

So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr prayer and some of them would come later. When they reached Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat-al-Aqaba) Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) used to say, "Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) gave the permission to them (weak people) to do so."

We kept on staying at Al-Muzdalifah till dawn, and set out with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) but (I suffered so much that) I wished I had taken the permission of Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) as Sauda (Radhi Allahu Anhu) had done, and that would have been dearer to me than any other happiness.

Some people said, "The day had dawned (at the time of the prayer)," and others said, "The day had not dawned." 'Abdullah then said, "Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, 'These two prayers have been shifted from their stated times at this place only (at Al-Muzdalifah); first: The Maghrib and the 'Isha'. So the people should not arrive at Al-Muzdalifah till the time of the 'Isha' prayer has become due. The second prayer is the morning prayer which is offered at this hour.'

And the people, too, performed the 'Umrah and Hajj along with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam). Some of them brought the Hadi and drove it along with them, while the others did not.

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah on his arrival (at Makkah); he touched the (Black Stone) corner first of all and then did Ramal (fast walking with moving of the shoulders) during the first three rounds round the Ka’bah, and during the last four rounds he walked.

He then hastened onwards (to Makkah) and performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah and then everything that was forbidden because of Ihram became permissible.
