Chapter 34: Hajj-at-Tamattu', Hajj-al-Qiran, and Hajj-al-Ifrad - كتاب الحج
Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ وَعُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَأَنْ يُجْمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا. فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَلِيٌّ، أَهَلَّ بِهِمَا لَبَّيْكَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجَّةٍ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأَدَعَ سُنَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِقَوْلِ أَحَدٍ.
I saw `Uthman and `Ali. `Uthman used to forbid people to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and Hajj-al-
Qiran (Hajj and `Umra together), and when `Ali saw (this act of `Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj
and `Umra together saying, "Lubbaik for `Umra and Hajj," and said, "I will not leave the tradition of
the Prophet (ﷺ) on the saying of somebody."
The people (of the Pre-Islamic Period) used to think that to perform `Umra 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) `Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it." In the morning of the 4th of Dhul-
Hijja, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he ordered his
companions to make their intentions of the Ihram for `Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they considered
his order as something great and were puzzled, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What kind (of finishing)
of Ihram is allowed?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Finish the Ihram completely like a non-Muhrim (you are
allowed everything)."

Hafsa the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why have the people finished their Ihram after
performing `Umra but you have not finished your Ihram after performing `Umra?" He replied, "I have
matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I have slaughtered (my
Hadi). "

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ، نَصْرُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ قَالَ تَمَتَّعْتُ فَنَهَانِي نَاسٌ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَأَمَرَنِي، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ لِي حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ وَعُمْرَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ سُنَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لِي أَقِمْ عِنْدِي، فَأَجْعَلَ لَكَ سَهْمًا مِنْ مَالِي. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَ فَقَالَ لِلرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَأَيْتُ.
Abu Jamra Nasr bin `Imran Ad-Duba'i said, "I intended to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and the people
advised me not to do so. I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to perform Hajj-at-
Tammatu'. Later I saw in a dream someone saying to me, 'Hajj-Mabrur (Hajj performed in accordance
with the Prophet's tradition without committing sins and accepted by Allah) and an accepted `Umra.'
So I told that dream to Ibn `Abbas. He said, 'This is the tradition of Abul-Qasim.' Then he said to me,
'Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of my property.' " I (Shu`ba) asked, "Why (did he invite
you)?" He (Abu Jamra) said, "Because of the dream which I had seen."
I left for Mecca for Hajj-at-Tamattu` assuming Ihram for `Umra. I reached Mecca three days before
the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja). Some people of Mecca said to me, "Your Hajj will be like the
Hajj performed by the people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of assuming Ihram from the
Miqat). So I went to `Ata' asking him his view about it. He said, "Jabir bin `Abdullah narrated to me, 'I
performed Hajj with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day when he drove camels with him. The people had
assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf round the
Ka`ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Mecca) as
non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume Ihram for Hajj
and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for `Umra only. They asked,
'How can we make it `Umra (Tamattu`) as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Do
what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done the same, but I
cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).' So, they did (what he
ordered them to do)."

`Ali and `Uthman differed regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu` while they were at 'Usfan (a familiar place near
Mecca). `Ali said, "I see you want to forbid people to do a thing that the Prophet (ﷺ) did?" When `Ali saw
that, he assumed Ihram for both Hajj and `Umra.

We came with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (to Mecca) and we were saying: 'Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik' for

Chapter 36: Hajj-at-Tamattu' - كتاب الحج
Narrated `Imran:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُطَرِّفٌ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ تَمَتَّعْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ بِرَأْيِهِ مَا شَاءَ.
We performed Hajj-at-Tamattu` in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then the Qur'an was revealed
(regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu`) and somebody said what he wished (regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu`)
according his own opinion.
"The Muhajirin and the Ansar and the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) and we did the same. When we reached Makkah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Give up your intention of doing the Hajj (at this moment) and perform 'Umra, except the one who had garlanded the Hady." So, we performed Tawaf round the Ka'bah and [Sa'y] between As-safa and Al-MArwa, slept with our wives and wore ordinary (stitched) clothes. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Whoever has garlanded his Hady is not allowed to finish the Ihram till the Hady has reached its destination (has been sacrificed)". Then on the night of Tarwiya (8th Dhul Hijjah, in the afternoon) he ordered us to assume Ihram for Hajj and when we have performed all the ceremonies of Hajj, we came and performed Tawaf round the Ka'bah and (Sa'y) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa, and then our Hajj was complete, and we had to sacrifice a Hady according to the statement of Allah:
"... He must slaughter a Hady such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should observer Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home)…." (V. 2:196).
And the sacrifice of the sheep is sufficient. So, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions joined the two religious deeds, (i.e. Hajj and 'Umra) in one year, for Allah revealed (the permissibility) of such practice in His book and in the Sunna (legal ways) of His Prophet (ﷺ) and rendered it permissible for all the people except those living in Makkah. Allah says: "This is for him whose family is not present at the Al-Masjid-Al-Haram, (i.e. non resident of Makkah)." The months of Hajj which Allah mentioned in His book are: Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'da and Dhul-Hijjah. Whoever performed Hajj-at-Tamattu' in those months, then slaughtering or fasting is compulsory for him.
The words: 1. Ar-Rafatha means sexual intercourse. 2. Al-Fasuq means all kinds of sin, and 3. Al-Jidal means to dispute.

(the wife of the Prophet) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her, "Do you know that when your people
(Quraish) rebuilt the Ka`ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by Abraham?" I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why don't you rebuild it on its original foundation laid by Abraham?" He replied,
"Were it not for the fact that your people are close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they
have recently become Muslims) I would have done so." The sub-narrator, `Abdullah (bin `Umar )
stated: `Aisha 'must have heard this from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for in my opinion Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not
placed his hand over the two corners of the Ka`ba opposite Al-Hijr only because the Ka`ba was not
rebuilt on its original foundations laid by Abraham.
I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) whether the round wall (near Ka`ba) was part of the Ka`ba. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied in
the affirmative. I further said, "What is wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building
of the Ka`ba?" 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`ba)?" 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-Islamic 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`ba and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the
ground."

doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."

Chapter 43: The superiority of the Haram (of Makkah) - كتاب الحج
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ
" إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ، لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ، وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ، وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا ".
On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary.
Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be
picked up except by one who would announce it publicly."
