1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ النَّبِيُّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بَعْدَ قُدُومِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةً وَقَدْ حَجَّ بِمَكَّةَ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ حِجَّاتٍ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed only one hajj from al- Madinah; however, he had performed al-Hajj many times when in Makkah along with his people.’” 

2ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عِيسَى الْفَرَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ حَجَّ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَشْرَ حِجَّاتٍ مُسْتَسِرّاً فِي كُلِّهَا يَمُرُّ بِالْمَأْزِمَيْنِ فَيَنْزِلُ وَيَبُولُ.

2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali, from ‘Isa al-Farra’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed Hajj ten times secretly and every time when in al-Mazimin would disembark and pass water (it was the first place where idols were worshipped).” 

3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ حَجَّ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Yunus ibn Ya’qub from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed Hajj a total of twenty times.” 

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ

يَأْتُوكَ رِجالاً وَعَلى‏ كُلِّ ضامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ فَأَمَرَ الْمُؤَذِّنِينَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنُوا بِأَعْلَى أَصْوَاتِهِمْ بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَحُجُّ فِي عَامِهِ هَذَا فَعَلِمَ بِهِ مَنْ حَضَرَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَهْلُ الْعَوَالِي وَالأَعْرَابُ وَاجْتَمَعُوا لِحَجِّ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَإِنَّمَا كَانُوا تَابِعِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ وَيَتَّبِعُونَهُ أَوْ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئاً فَيَصْنَعُونَهُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي أَرْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى ذِي

الْبَيْدَاءِ عِنْدَ الْمِيلِ الأَوَّلِ فَصُفَّ لَهُ سِمَاطَانِ فَلَبَّى بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرِداً وَسَاقَ الْهَدْيَ سِتّاً وَسِتِّينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً وَسِتِّينَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي سَلْخِ أَرْبَعٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ وَقَدْ كَانَ اسْتَلَمَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ طَوَافِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ الله فَأَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ الله تَعَالَى بِهِ وَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ السَّعْيَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ صَنَعَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّ الصَّفا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعائِرِ الله فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِما ثُمَّ أَتَى الصَّفَا فَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ فَحَمِدَ الله وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَدَعَا مِقْدَارَ مَا يُقْرَأُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ مُتَرَسِّلاً ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى الْمَرْوَةِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا كَمَا وَقَفَ عَلَى الصَّفَا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ وَعَادَ إِلَى الصَّفَا فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى الْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ سَعْيِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ سَعْيِهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَحَمِدَ الله وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ

فَدَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ سَلامُ الله عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ قَدْ أَحَلَّتْ فَوَجَدَ رِيحاً طَيِّبَةً وَوَجَدَ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَاباً مَصْبُوغَةً فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَقَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا بِهَذَا رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مُسْتَفْتِياً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ قَدْ أَحَلَّتْ وَعَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ مَصْبُوغَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنَا أَمَرْتُ النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ فَأَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ بِمَا أَهْلَلْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله إِهْلالاً كَإِهْلالِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قِرَّ عَلَى إِحْرَامِكَ مِثْلِي وَأَنْتَ شَرِيكِي فِي هَدْيِي قَالَ وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه)

النَّبِيَّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَارْتَحَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَمْ يَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَدَخَلَ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ مِنْ عَقَبَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ ذِي طُوًى.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, lived in al- Madinah for ten years but did not perform Hajj. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, then revealed this verse, ‘Call people for Hajj, they will come to you on foot and on lean transport animals from faraway places.’ (22:26) “He then commanded two announcers to announce loudly that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, this year has decided to perform Hajj. People of al-Madinah, people of al-‘Awaliy and Arabs all came together for Hajj of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. They only followed the Messenger of Allah and waited for his orders or did what the Messenger of Allah did. The Messenger of Allah left for Makkah just four days before the beginning of the month of Dhu al-Hajj ah. When he arrived at Dhu al-Hulayfah it was noontime, the sun had just declined to the west from a point half way between east and west overhead. He took a shower, and then went to the Masjid near the tree. He performed al-Zuhr salat (prayer), and then made his decision to perform an individual (Ifrad) Hajj. He then left and arrived at al-Bayda’, one mile away from al-Madinah, where two rows of people stood in line. He said Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command). He herded his offering animals that numbered sixty-six or sixty-four heads of cattle. He then arrived in Makkah during the end of the fourth day of Dhu al-Hajj. He performed seven times Tawaf around the House, performed two Rak‘at salat (prayer) behind the station of Ibrahim, returned to the Black Stone and touched it. He had touched it in the beginning of his Tawaf walking around the House. He then said, ‘Al-Safa’ and al-Marwah are of al-Sha’a’ir of Allah (things that remind one of Allah). So I begin with what Allah, the most High, has begun with.’ The Muslims thought that al-Sa‘y (walking) between al-Safa’ al-Marwah was something that the pagans did. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, then revealed this, ‘Al-Safa’ and al-Marwah are of al-Sha’a’ir of Allah (things that remind one of Allah). Those who perform Hajj or ‘Umrah must perform Tawaf between them.’ ( 2 : 153 ) “He then went to al-Safa’, climbed it, turned his face to the al-Yemaniy corner (of the House), thanked and praised Allah, and prayed for as long as it may take one to read Chapter two of the Holy Quran, in fluent reading. He then climbed down toward al-Marwah and stood on it just as he had done on al- Safa’ . He then climbed down and returned to al-Safa’ where he stood for a while, then came down toward al-Marwah (and so on) until he completed seven times of walking between the two places. When he completed his Sa‘y while on al-Marwah, he turned toward people, praised Allah, spoke of His glory and then said, ‘This is Jibril. He pointed with his hand to a point behind him. He commands me to command those who have not herded their sacrificial animals to come out of the state of Ihram. In future, I will not do what I have done this time (performing Ifrad Hajj and herding sacrificial animals). Instead, I will do what I am commanding you to do, but I have herded my sacrificial animals and it is not proper for one who has herded his sacrificial animals to come out of the state of Ihram (at this point) before the sacrificial animals reach their place.’ He (the Imam) said that a man from the group then said to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, ‘Must we then begin performing the acts of Hajj while water from our heads and hairs is dropping down (after taking a shower for carnal relations)?’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, then said to him, ‘You, however, will never believe in it.’ Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Jush‘am al-Kinaniy then said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach us our religion as if we are just created today. Is what you do for this year only, or it is for future also?’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘It certainly is forever to the Day of Judgment.’ He then grappled the fingers of one of his hands with those of the other hand saying, ‘A1-’ Umrah with Hajj are joined together up to the Day of Judgment.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Ali (a.s.), then arrived in Makkah in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, from Yemen. He went to Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, when she had come out of the state of Ihram. He found her using perfume and dressed in colored clothes. He then asked, ‘Why have you done this, O Fatimah?’ She replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, commanded us to do so.’ Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, then went to the Messenger of Allah to find out a fatwa saying, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Fatimah has come out of the state of Ihram and has dressed up in colored clothes.’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘I have commanded people to do so. O Ali, how have you commenced your Hajj?’ He replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have said, “My commencement of Hajj is like that of the Holy Prophet.” The Messenger of Allah then said, ‘You must remain with your Ihram as I have remained and you are my partner in my sacrificial animals.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah arrived in Makkah, at al-Batha’ along with his companions. They did not use the houses. On the day of al-Tarwiyah (eighth of Dhu al-Hajjah) at noontime, he (the Messenger of Allah) commanded people to take a shower, say Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command) for Hajj. These are the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, that He revealed to His Prophet, ‘Follow the religion of (your father) Ibrahim.’ (3:89) The Messenger of Allah and his companions came out for Hajj saying Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command) until they arrived in Mina, where they said salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr, al-‘Asr, al-Maghrib, al-Tsha’a and al-Fajr. In the morning, people were with him. Quraysh would leave from al-Muzdalifah, which is al-JanT, and would prevent people to leave from that place. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, came and Quraysh hoped that his leaving would be like their leaving from al-Muzdalifah. Allah, most High, then revealed this verse. ’Then you must leave (al-Muzdalifah) as people do and ask Allah for His forgiveness’ (2:198), meaning thereby, Ibrahim, Isma’il and Ishaq in their departure from it and those after them. When Quraysh saw the banner of the Messenger of Allah had passed, they felt something in their heart about leaving from their place. It (the banner) arrived at al-Namirah, which is Batn ‘ Arnah, parallel to Arak. The banner was raised and people pitched their tents there. When it was noontime, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, came out. Quraysh also did so, along with him. He had taken a shower and had discontinued saying Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command). He stood at the door of the Masjid, preached to people of His commands and prohibitions. He then said salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr and al-’Asr with one Adhan and two Tqamah. He then went to the staying place and remained there. People began crowding around his camel. He moved his camel and they also did so. He then said, £ 0 people, the staying place is not under the feet of my camel only. This whole area’ - pointing with his hand to station - ’is the place to stay’. People then scattered around. He did the same thing in al-Muzdalifah and people stayed there until sunset, then he left and commanded people to remain calm and peaceful until they arrived in al- Muzdalifah, which is al-Mash‘ar al-Haram. He said salat (prayer) of al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ prayers with one Adhan and two Tqamah, then he stayed until he said salat (prayer) of al-Fajr there and asked the weaker people of banu Hashim to leave quickly during the night and not to throw pebbles on al- Jamarah (Jamarah al-‘Aqabah) before sunrise. When the day became bright, he left al-Muzdalifah. He arrived in Mina. He then threw pebbles on Jamarah al-‘Aqabah. The sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, had brought were sixty-four or sixty-six heads. Ali (a.s.), had brought thirty-four heads or thirty-six heads of cattle. The Messenger of Allah offered sixty-six heads of cattle and Ali (a.s.), offered thirty-four heads of cattle. “The Messenger of Allah commanded him to take from the meat of every camel a piece and cook it in a pot. The Messenger of Allah and Ali, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, ate from the meat and sipped of the soup thereof. They did not give the hide or the items with which the animals were herded or decorated to the butchers. Instead, such items were given as charity to the needy. He shaved his head, visited the House, returned to Mina and stayed there until the bright days were over. He threw pebbles on al- Jamar and left until he arrived in al-Abtah. ‘A’ishah then asked, ’O Messenger of Allah, are you returning your wives with Hajj and ‘Umrah together and only I return with Hajj?’ He then stayed in al- Abtah and sent ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Bakr with her to al-Tan‘im. She said Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command) for ‘Umrah from there and came for Tawaf around the House, to pray two Rak’at prayers near the station of Ibrahim, made Sa’y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, then came to the Holy Prophet. He (the Messenger of Allah) left the same day, did not enter al-Masjid al-Haram and did not perform Tawaf around the House. He entered from the upper part of Makkah from ‘Aqabah al-Madaniyin and came out from the lower part of Makkah from Dhu Tuwa’.”

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Isma‘il ibn Hammam who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, when leaving Mina moved through the path of Dabb and returned from between al-Mazimin, and when he walked through a path, he would not return by the same path.”

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed al- Hajjata al-Islam, he left al-Madinah when only four days from the month of Dhu al-Qa‘dah remained. When he (the Messenger of Allah) arrived at al-Shajarah, he performed Salat (prayer) then drove his stumper until he arrived in al-Bayda’, he then assumed the state of Ihram and recited Talbiyah for al- Hajj. He (the Messenger of Allah) drove one hundred camels and all the people also assumed the state of Ihram for al-Hajj. They did not have the intention for al-‘Umrah and did not know what al-Mut‘ah was. When the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, arrived in Makkah he performed Tawaf around the House. People also performed Tawaf along with him. He (the Messenger of Allah) then performed two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near the station of Ibrahim (a.s.), then touched the Black Stone. He (the Messenger of Allah) then said, T commence with what Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has commenced. He then went to al-Safa’ to commence walking. He (the Messenger of Allah) then performed Tawaf between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah seven times. When he (the Messenger of Allah) completed his Tawaf at al-Marwah, he (the Messenger of Allah) then stood there for a speech. He (the Messenger of Allah) commanded them to come out of the state of Ihram and make it an al-‘Umrah. It is something that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has commanded to do. People came out of the state of Ihram and the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, Tf I will have a chance in future I will not go back. I will do as I have commanded you to do. He (the Messenger of Allah) was not able to come out of the state of Ihram because of the offering animals, which were with him (the Messenger of Allah). Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, ‘Do not shave your heads until the offering animals reach their designated places.’ Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Jush‘am al-Kinaniy said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach us just as we are created today. What you have commanded us to do this year is it just for this year or it will be as such every year?’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘It is forever.’ A man stood up and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah is it that we will come to perform al-Hajj and water will drip from our heads?’ (He thereby meant engagement in sexual activities). The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘You will never believe in it (al-Mut‘ah of al-Hajj). He (the Imam) said that Ali ‘Alayhi al-Salam, arrived from Yeman to perform al-Hajj, he found Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, who had come out of the state of Ihram, and he sensed perfumes. He (the Imam) went to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, for a fatwa. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, asked, ‘What kind of intention did you have?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘I made my intention like the intention of the Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘You must not come out of the state of Hiram.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) allowed him (the Imam) to share his offering animals and gave him (the Imam) thirty-seven. The Messenger of Allah slaughtered sixty- three. He (the Messenger of Allah) slaughtered them with his own hands. He (the Messenger of Allah) then from every camel took a certain amount of meat and placed it in one cooking pot. He then commanded to cook, then ate from the meat and sipped from the broth. He (the Messenger of Allah) then said, ‘Now we all have used the meat of our offering for food. Having al-Mut‘ah (advantage of coming out of the state of Ihram after completing the acts of ‘Umrah) is better than al-Qiran Hajj, in which one herds his offering cattle as well as performs Hajj in the form of al-Mufrad Hajj.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Did the Messenger of Allah enter the state of Ihram during the night or during the day?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It was during the day.’ I then asked, ‘In which hour of the day was it?’ He (the Imam) replied it was at the time of the Salat (prayer) at noontime.’”

7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, mentioned al- Hajj. He (the Messenger of Allah) then wrote a letter to those who received his letter and who had accepted Islam that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has decided to perform al-Hajj. He (the Messenger of Allah) has given permission to all those who are capable to perform al-Hajj to do so. People came. When they arrived at al-Shajarah, he (the Messenger of Allah) commanded them to clean their under- arms, pubic hairs, and take a shower; that they must wear just a loincloth, a sheet of cloth on their shoulders and a turban to place it on their shoulder if one did not have the sheet of cloth to place on his shoulders. He (the Imam) has mentioned that when he (the Messenger of Allah) said Talbiyah he (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘O Lord, here I am to obey your command, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Indeed You have no partners, here I am to obey Your command, all praise, all bounties and the whole kingdom belong to You, You indeed have no partners.’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would say ‘O the owner of exalted status’ a great deal. He (the Messenger of Allah) said Talbiyah when coming across a rider, climb a height, climb down a hill or a valley, toward the end of the night and after Salat (prayer). When he (the Messenger of Allah) entered Makkah, he (the Messenger of Allah) did so from the upper part of Makkah, from al-‘Aqabah and left when he left through Dhi Tuwa’. When he (the Messenger of Allah) arrived at the door of the Masjid, he (the Messenger of Allah) faced al-Ka’bah.’ Ibn Sinan has mentioned that it was the gate of banu Shaybah. He (the Messenger of Allah) praised Allah, spoke of His glory, prayed for Ibrahim and then he (the Messenger of Allah) moved to the Black Stone and touched it. When he performed Tawaf around the House he (the Messenger of Allah) then performed two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) behind the station of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam. He (the Messenger of Allah) entered Zamzam, drank thereof and said, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You for useful knowledge, extended means of living and cure for all illnesses.’ He would say this with his face toward al-Ka‘bah. He (the Messenger of Allah) said to his companions that your last meeting with al-Ka’bah should be touching the Black Stone. He (the Messenger of Allah) touched the Black Stone; then moved to al-Safa’ then said, ‘I begin with what Allah has begun’, then he (the Messenger of Allah) climbed al-Safa’, stood there for a time within which one can recite Chapter two of al-Quran.’”

8.
