Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was asked what sort of clothes a Muhrim should wear. He replied, “He should not
wear a shirt, turbans, trousers, a hooded cloak, or a dress perfumed with saffron or Wars; and if
slippers are not available he can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather) but he should
cut them so that they reach below the ankles.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A Muhrim can kill (five kinds of animals.)”

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon at `Arafat and said, “Whoever does not get an Izar can wear trousers,
and whoever cannot get a pair of shoes can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather).”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “It is not sinful (of a Muhrim) to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the
kite, the mouse, the scorpion and the rabid dog.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed Ihram for Umra in the month of Dhul-Qa’da but the (pagan) people of Mecca
refused to admit him into Mecca till he agreed on the condition that he would not bring into Mecca
any arms but sheathed.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Five kinds of animals are harmful and could be killed in the Haram (Sanctuary).
These are: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse and the rabid dog.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) fixed Dhul-Hulaifa as the Miqat (the place for assuming Ihram) for the people of Medina,
and Qaran-al-Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. These Mawaqit
are for those people and also for those who come through these Mawaqit (from places other than the
above-mentioned) with the intention of (performing) Hajj and Umra. And those living inside these
Mawaqit can assume Ihram from the place where they start; even the people of Mecca can assume
Ihram from Mecca.

While we were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) in a cave at Mina, when Surat-wal-Mursalat were
revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation.
Suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (ordered us): “Kill it.” We ran to kill it but it
escaped quickly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It has escaped your evil and you too have escaped its evil.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) entered Mecca in the year of its Conquest wearing an Arabian helmet on his head and
when the Prophet (ﷺ) took it off, a person came and said, “Ibn Khatal is holding the covering of the Ka`ba
(taking refuge in the Ka`ba).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Kill him.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) called the salamander a bad animal, but I did not hear him ordering it to be killed.”
