Another man said, "Unknowingly I slaughtered the Hadi before doing the Rami." The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Do Rami now and there is no harm in it." So, on that day, when the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was asked about anything (about the ceremonies of Hajj) done before or after (its stated time) his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."

So, the people asked about many similar things. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Do it (now) and there is no harm in all these cases."

He asked, 'Which month is this?' They replied, 'It is the forbidden (Sacred) month.' He said, 'No doubt! Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this (sacred) town (Makkah) of yours, in this month of yours.' The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) repeated his statement again and again. After that he raised his head and said, 'O Allah! Haven't I conveyed (Your Message) to them'. Haven't I conveyed Your Message to them?' " Ibn Abbas (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the following was his will (Prophet’s (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) will) to his followers: It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey this information to those who are absent Beware don't renegade (as) disbelievers (turn into infidels) after me, Striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another.'"

We said, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the Day of Nahr?" We said, "It is." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijjah?" We replied: "Yes! It is." He further asked, "What town is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) know it better."

No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you? They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him.

Ibn Abbas (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) said, "When you reach Al-Madinah, inquire about it." So, when they reached Al-Madinah they asked (about that).

Hadith Number 815.

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

Anas replied, "He offered it at Mina." I said, "Where did he offer the Asr prayer on the Day of Nafr (day of departure from Mina)?" He replied, "At Al-Abtah," and added, "You should do as your leaders do."

Hadith Number 818.

Narrated by ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): It (i.e. Al-Abtah) was a place where the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) used to camp so that it might be easier for him to depart.

Narrated by Nafi: Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) used to spend the night at Dhi-Tuwa in between the two Thaniyas and then he would enter Makkah through the Thaniya which is at the higher region of Makkah, and whenever he came to Makkah for Hajj or 'Umrah, he never made his she camel kneel down except near the gate of the Masjid (Sacred Mosque) and then he would enter (it) and go to the Black (stone) Corner and start from there circumambulating the Ka’bah seven times: hastening in the first three rounds (Ramal) and walking in the last four. On finishing, he would offer two Rakat prayer and set out to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah before returning to his dwelling place. On returning (to Al-Madinah) from Hajj or 'Umrah, he used to make his camel kneel down at Al-Batha which is at Dhu-l-Hulaifah, the place where the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) used to make his camel kneel down.


Hadith Number 821.

Narrated by Khalid bin Al-Harith: 'Ubaidullah was asked about Al Mahassab. 'Ubaidullah narrated: Nafi' said, 'Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam), ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) camped there." Nafi' added, "Ibn ‘Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhu) used to offer the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers at it (i.e. Al-Mahassab)." I think he mentioned the Maghrib prayer also. I said, "I don't doubt about 'Isha' (i.e. he used to offer it there also), and he used to sleep there for a while. He used to say, 'The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) used to do the same.'"

Hadith Number 823.

Narrated by ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): Safiyah (Radhi Allahu Anhu) got her menses on the night of Nafr (departure from Hajj), and she said, "I see that I will detain you." The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Aqra Halqa! Did she perform the Tawaf on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" Somebody replied in the affirmative. He said, "Then depart." (Different narrators mentioned that) ‘Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) said, "We set out with Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) (from Al-Madinah) with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we reached Makkah, he ordered us to finish the Ihram. When it was the night of Nafr (departure), Safiyah bint Huyay got her menses. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Halqa Aqra! I think that she will detain you," and added, "Did you perform the Tawaf (Al-Ifadah) on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "Then depart." I said, "O Allah's Messenger! I have not (done the Umrah)." He replied, "Perform 'Umrah from Tan'im." My brother went with me and we came across the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) in the last part of the night. He said, "Wait at such and such a place."
