I asked `Urwa bin Az-Zubair (regarding the Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) ). `Urwa replied, "Aisha narrated,
'When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached Mecca, the first thing he started with was the ablution, then he performed
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and his intention was not `Umra alone (but Hajj and `Umra together).' " Later Abu
Bakr I performed the Hajj and the first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not
`Umra alone (but Hajj and `Umra together). And then `Umar did the same. Then `Uthman performed
the Hajj and the first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone. And
then Muawiya and `Abdullah bin `Umar did the same. I performed Hajj with Ibn Az-Zubair and the
first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone, (but Hajj and `Umra
together). Then I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and Ansar doing the same and it was not `Umra
alone. And the last person I saw doing the same was Ibn `Umar, and he did not do another `Umra after
finishing the first. Now here is Ibn `Umar present amongst the people! They neither ask him nor
anyone of the previous ones. And all these people, on entering Mecca, would not start with anything
unless they had performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and would not finish their Ihram. And no doubt, I saw
my mother and my aunt, on entering Mecca doing nothing before performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba, 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 `Umra and after passing their hands over the Corner
(the Black Stone) (i.e. finishing their Umra) they finished their Ihram."
I asked `Aisha : "How do you interpret the statement of Allah,. : Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and
Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah, and whoever performs the Hajj to the Ka`ba or performs
`Umra, it is not harmful for him to perform Tawaf between them (Safa and Marwa.) (2.158). By
Allah! (it is evident from this revelation) there is no harm if one does not perform Tawaf between Safa
and Marwa." `Aisha 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 worship ping 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 Marwa.
When they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) regarding it, saying, "O Allah's
Apostle! We used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." So Allah revealed: 'Verily; (the
mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah.' " Aisha added, "Surely, Allah's
Apostle set the tradition of Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, so nobody is allowed to omit the Tawaf
between them." Later on I (`Urwa) told Abu Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman (of `Aisha'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 `Aisha mentioned and who used to assume lhram for the sake of Manat, used to perform
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
When Allah referred to the Tawaf of the Ka`ba and did not mention Safa and Marwa in the Qur'an, the
people asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa and Allah has
revealed (the verses concerning) Tawaf of the Ka`ba and has not mentioned Safa and Marwa. Is there
any harm if we perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?' So Allah revealed: "Verily As-Safa and Al-
Marwa 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 Marwa 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`ba and did not
mention Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) till later after mentioning the Tawaf of the Ka`ba.'
Ibn `Umar said, "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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`ba), where as in performing
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa he used to run in the midst of the rainwater passage," I asked Nafi`,
"Did `Abdullah (bin `Umar) 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."

We asked Ibn `Umar whether a man who, while performing `Umra, had performed Tawaf of the
Ka`ba; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have sexual relation with
his wife, Ibn `Umar replied "The Prophet (p.b.u.h) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds (of
Tawaf) of the Ka`ba and then offered a two-rak`at prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim and then performed
the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa." He added, "Verily! In Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin `Abdullah (the same question) and he said,
"He (that man) should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، وَلَمْ أَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ، وَلاَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، قَالَتْ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ

I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, nor the Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa. Then I informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. He replied, "Perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean
(from your menses)."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ،. قَالَ وَقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَهَلَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِالْحَجِّ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ هَدْىٌ، غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَطَلْحَةَ، وَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، وَمَعَهُ هَدْىٌ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً، وَيَطُوفُوا، ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرُوا وَيَحِلُّوا، إِلاَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ الْهَدْىُ، فَقَالُوا نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى، وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ
" لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْىَ لأَحْلَلْتُ ". وَحَاضَتْ عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ فَنَسَكَتِ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ. قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ، وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِحَجٍّ فَأَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ، فَاعْتَمَرَتْ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and
Talha had the Hadi (sacrifice) with them. `Ali arrived from Yemen and had a Hadi with him. `Ali said,
"I have assumed Ihram for what the Prophet (ﷺ) has done." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions to
perform the `Umra with the lhram which they had assumed, and after finishing Tawaf (of Ka`ba, Safa
and Marwa) 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 (ﷺ) 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." `Aisha got her menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except
Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and when she got clean (from her menses), she performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba.
She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umra, but I am returning
after performing Hajj only." So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to accompany her
to Tan`im and thus she performed the `Umra after the Hajj.

(On `Id) We used to forbid our virgins to go out (for `Id prayer). A lady came and stayed at the fortress
of Bani Khalaf. She mentioned that her sister was married to one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
who participated in twelve Ghazawats along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) , "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 (ﷺ)
without saying "Bi Abi" (i.e. 'Let my father be sacrificed for you'). We asked her, "Have you heard
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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?"

Narrated Um Al-Fadl:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا، مَوْلَى أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ، شَكَّ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِي صَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَهُ.
The people doubted whether the Prophet (ﷺ) was observing the fast on the Day of `Arafat, so I sent
something for him to drink and he drank it.
I asked Anas bin Malik while we were proceeding from Mina to `Arafat, "What do you use to do on
this day when you were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Anas said, "Some of us used to recite Talbiya and
nobody objected to that, and others used to recite Takbir and nobody objected to that."
`Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn `Umar during Hajj. On the Day of
`Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn `Umar 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 (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to `Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "At this
very hour?" Ibn `Umar 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 dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out.
So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn `Umar). 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) (inquiringly), and when `Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the
truth.
On the day of `Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full
of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.

Chapter 89: To offer the two Salat together at 'Arafat - كتاب الحج
Ibn Shihab said:
وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، أَنَّ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ، عَامَ نَزَلَ بِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ السُّنَّةَ فَهَجِّرْ بِالصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ صَدَقَ. إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَجْمَعُونَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي السُّنَّةِ. فَقُلْتُ لِسَالِمٍ أَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ وَهَلْ تَتَّبِعُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ سُنَّتَهُ
Salim said, "In the year when Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf attacked Ibn Az-Zubair, the former asked 'Abdullah (Ibn 'Umar) what to do during the stay on the Day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhul-Hajjah). I said to him, "If you want to follow the Sunna (the legal way of the Prophet (ﷺ)) you should offer the Salat just after midday on the Day of the 'Arafa. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, 'He (Salim) has spoken the truth.' " They (the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)) used to offer the Zuhr and Asr prayer together according to the Sunna, I asked Salim, "Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) do that ?" Salim said, "And in doing that do you (people) follow anything else except his (ﷺ) Sunna?"
`Abdul-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow `Abdullah bin `Umar in all the
ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of `Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hijja), and after the sun has
deviated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn `Umar came and he shouted near the
cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, "Where is he?" Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn `Umar said, "Let us proceed
(to `Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes." Al-Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till
I pour water on me (i.e. take a bath)." So, Ibn `Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out.
He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, "If you want to follow the Sunna
today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at `Arafat)." Ibn `Umar said,
"He (Salim) has spoken the truth."
My father said, "(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same narration is told by a
different sub-narrator. Jubair bin Mut`im said, "My camel was lost and I went out in search of it on the
day of `Arafat, and I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing in `Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the
Hums (literally: strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as they used to say, 'We are the people of
Allah we shall not go out of the sanctuary). What has brought him here?"
During the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked
except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to
the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes
to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did not give
clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse)
directly from `Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. `Urwa added, "My
father narrated that `Aisha had said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then depart
from the place whence all the people depart--(2.199) `Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at
Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to `Arafat (by Allah's
order)."
Usama was asked in my presence, "How was the speed of (the camel of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while
departing from `Arafat during the Hajjatul Wada`?" Usama replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on with a
modest pace, and when there was enough space he would (make his camel) go very fast."

Chapter 93: To dismount between 'Arafat and Jam' - كتاب الحج
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ مَالَ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُصَلِّي فَقَالَ
" الصَّلاَةُ أَمَامَكَ ".
As soon as the Prophet (ﷺ) departed from `Arafat, he went towards the mountain pass, and there he
answered the call of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Will you offer the
prayer here?" He replied, "(The place of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)."
