I heard Al-Hajjaj saying on the pulpit, “The Sura in which Al-Baqara (the cow) is mentioned and the
Sura in which the family of `Imran is mentioned and the Sura in which the women (An-Nisa) is
mentioned.” I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid told me, ‘I was with
Ibn Mas`ud, when he did the Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba. He went down the middle of the valley,
and when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamra) he stood opposite to it and threw seven
small pebbles and said: ‘Allahu-Akbar’ on throwing every pebble.’ Then he said, ‘By Him, except
Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at this place) stood the one on whom Surat-al-Baqra
was revealed (i.e. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)).’ ”

Ibn `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khaif mosque) with seven
small stones and used to recite Takbir on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till he
reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qibla for a long time to invoke (Allah)
while raising his hands (while invoking). Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta (middle
Jamra) and then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing the
Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands, and
would stand there for a long period. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle
of the valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) doing
like this.”

`Abdullah bin `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya with seven small pebbles and used to
recite Takbir on throwing each stone. He, then, would proceed further till he reached the level ground,
where he would stay for a long time, facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then
he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta similarly and would go to the left towards the level ground,
where he would stand for a long time facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then
he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it.
Ibn `Umar used to say, “I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) doing like that.”

Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stoned the Jamra near Mina Mosque, he would do Ramy of it with seven small pebbles and say Takbir on throwing each pebble. Then he would go ahead and stand facing the Qiblah with his hands raised, and invoke (Allah) and he sued to stand for a long period. Then he would come to the second Jamra (Al-Wusta) and stone it will seven small stones, reciting Takbir on throwing each stone. Then he would stand facing the Qiblah with raised hands to invoke (Allah). Then he would come to the Jamra near the ‘Aqaba (Jamrat-ul-‘Aqaba) and do Ramy of it with seven small pebbles, reciting Takbir on throwing each stone. he then would leave and not stay by it.Narrated Az-Zuhri: I heard Salim bin ‘Abdullah saying the same that his father said on the authority of the Prophet (ﷺ). And Ibn ‘Umar used to do the same.

I heard my father who was the best man of his age, saying, “I heard `Aisha saying, ‘I perfumed Allah’s
Apostle with my own hands before finishing his Ihram while yet he has not performed Tawaf-al-
Ifada.’ She spread her hands (while saying so.)”

The people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing,
before leaving (Mecca), except the menstruating women who were excused.

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) delivering a sermon at `Arafat.

Hafsa said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What is wrong with the people; they finished their Ihram after
performing `Umra, but you have not finished it after your `Umra?” He replied, “I matted my hair and
have garlanded my Hadi. So, I cannot finish my Ihram till I slaughter (my Hadi). ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered to us a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He said, “Do you know what is the day
today?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He remained silent till we thought that he
might give that day another name. He said, “Isn’t it the Day of Nahr?” We said, “It is.” He further
asked, “Which month is this?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He remained silent till
we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, “Isn’t it the month of Dhul-Hijja?” We
replied: “Yes! It is.” He further asked, “What town is this?” We replied, “Allah and His Apostle know
it better.” He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, “Isn’t it
the forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?” We said, “Yes. It is.” He said, “No doubt, your blood and
your properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours,
in this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s message
to you? They said, “Yes.” He said, “O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are
present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might
comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware!
Do not renegade (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) (got) his head shaved after performing his Hajj.
