The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions reached Mecca in the morning of the 4th Dhul-Hijja reciting Talbiya
(O Allah! We are obedient to your orders, we respond 4 to your call) . . . intending to perform Hajj.
The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions to assume the lhram for Umra instead of Hajj, excepting those
who had Hadi (sacrifice) with them.

"I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delaying the Maghrib prayer till he offered it along with the `Isha' prayer
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." Salim narrated, "Ibn `Umar used to do the same
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." And Salim added, "Ibn `Umar used to pray the
Maghrib and `Isha' prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa." Salim said, "Ibn `Umar delayed the Maghrib
prayer because at that time he heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi `Ubaid. I said to
him, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on.' Again I said, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on,' till we
covered two or three miles. Then he got down, prayed and said, 'I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying in this way,
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.' `Abdullah (bin `Umar) added, "Whenever the
Prophet was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer three rak`at (of the
Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for
the `Isha' prayer when he would offer two rak`at and perform Taslim. He would never offer any
optional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud)."

I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) on his Mount praying Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he faced, but
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never did the same in offering the compulsory prayers.
At night
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to offer the prayer on the back of his animal during the journey and never
cared about the direction he faced. Ibn `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer the optional prayer
on the back of his Mount facing any direction and also used to pray the witr on it but never offered the
compulsory prayer on it."
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray (the Nawafil) on his Mount facing east and whenever he wanted to offer the
compulsory prayer, he used to dismount and face the Qibla.

We went to receive Anas bin Malik when he returned from Sham and met him at a place called 'Ainat-
Tamr. I saw him praying riding the donkey, with his face to this direction, i.e. to the left of the
Qibla. I said to him, "I have seen you offering the prayer in a direction other than that of the Qibla."
He replied, "If I had not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) doing it, I would not have done it."
