Tag: Q n A, Bukhari

`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
Hajj. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ordered us to perform `Umra with that Ihram (instead of Hajj).

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.

On reaching the sanctuary of Mecca, Ibn `Umar used to stop, reciting Talbiya and then he would pass
the night at Dhi-Tuwa and then offer the Fajr prayer and take a bath. He used to say that the Prophet (ﷺ)
used to do the same.

‘ Ibn `Umar said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) passed the night at Dhi-Tuwa till it was dawn and then he entered
Mecca.” Ibn `Umar used to do the same.

Ibn `Abbas’ said, “Usama rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from `Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then Al-Fadl
rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina.” Ibn `Abbas added, “Both of them said, ‘The
Prophet kept on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba.’ ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found him at Al-Batha. He
asked me, “With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umra or for both?”) I
replied, “I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet.” He asked, “Have you a
Hadi with you?” I replied in the negative. He ordered me to perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa and then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe
who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when `Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, “If
we follow Allah’s Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as Allah says: “Perform the Hajj and
Umra for Allah.” (2.196). And if we follow the tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ) who did not finish his Ihram
till he sacrificed his Hadi.”

Ibn `Abbas’ said, “Usama rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from `Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then Al-Fadl
rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina.” Ibn `Abbas added, “Both of them said, ‘The
Prophet kept on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba.’ ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) with his companions started from Medina after combing and oiling his hair and putting
on two sheets of lhram (upper body cover and waist cover). He did not forbid anyone to wear any kind
of sheets except the ones colored with saffron because they may leave the scent on the skin. And so in
the early morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) mounted his Mount while in Dhul-Hulaifa and set out till they reached
Baida’, where he and his companions recited Talbiya, and then they did the ceremony of Taqlid
(which means to put the colored garlands around the necks of the Budn (camels for sacrifice). And all
that happened on the 25th of Dhul-Qa’da. And when he reached Mecca on the 4th of Dhul-Hijja he
performed the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and performed the Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. And as he
had a Badana and had garlanded it, he did not finish his Ihram. He proceeded towards the highest
places of Mecca near Al-Hujun and he was assuming the Ihram for Hajj and did not go near the Ka`ba
after he performed Tawaf (round it) till he returned from `Arafat. Then he ordered his companions to
perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and then the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, and to cut short the hair
of their heads and to finish their Ihram. And that was only for those people who had not garlanded
Budn. Those who had their wives with them were permitted to contact them (have sexual intercourse),
and similarly perfume and (ordinary) clothes were permissible for them.
