The Rites of Hajj (Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj)

Musaddad said that Abu Mu‘awiyah and Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to him—from al-A‘mash, from Ibrahim, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid; Abu Mu‘awiyah’s version is fuller: Uthman prayed four rak‘ahs at Mina. Abd Allah said: I prayed two rak‘ahs with the Prophet (ﷺ), two with Abu Bakr, and two with Umar. Hafs adds: And with Uthman during the early part of his rule; then he completed the prayer. Abu Mu‘awiyah adds: Then your paths diverged. I would rather have two accepted rak‘ahs than four. Al-A‘mash said: Mu‘awiyah ibn Qurrah told me, from his elders, that Abd Allah once prayed four. He was asked: You criticized Uthman, then prayed four yourself? He said: Discord is evil.

Muhammad ibn al-A‘la informed us; Ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, that Uthman prayed four rak‘ahs at Mina because he had resolved to remain there after Hajj.

Hannad ibn al-Sari narrated to us, from Abu al-Ahwas, from al-Mughirah, from Ibrahim, who said: Uthman prayed four rak‘ahs because he had made Mina his home.

Muhammad ibn al-A‘la informed us; Ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Yunus, from al-Zuhri, who said: When Uthman acquired property at al-Ta’if and intended to settle there, he prayed four rak‘ahs. The rulers after him followed his practice.

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from al-Zuhri, that Uthman ibn Affan completed the prayer at Mina because many Bedouins had come that year. He led the people in four rak‘ahs to teach them that the prayer is four.

Al-Nufayli narrated to us; Zuhayr narrated to us; Abu Ishaq narrated to us; Harithah ibn Wahb al-Khuza‘i narrated to me—his mother was married to Umar and bore him Ubayd Allah ibn Umar—who said: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at Mina when the people were at their greatest number, and he led us in two rak‘ahs during the Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu Dawud said: Harithah belonged to Khuza‘ah, whose homes were in Mecca.

Ibrahim ibn Mahdi narrated to us; Ali ibn Mushir narrated to me, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, who informed us: Sulayman ibn Amr ibn al-Ahwas narrated to us, from his mother, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stone the Jamrah from the valley floor while mounted. He said Allahu akbar with each pebble, and a man behind him shaded him. I asked who the man was, and they said: al-Fadl ibn Abbas. The people crowded, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: People, do not harm one another. When you stone the Jamrah, use small pebbles.

Abu Thawr Ibrahim ibn Khalid and Wahb ibn Bayan narrated to us; they said: Ubaydah narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from Sulayman ibn Amr ibn al-Ahwas, from his mother, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) riding near Jamrat al-Aqabah. I saw a pebble between his fingers; he threw it, and the people threw theirs.

Muhammad ibn al-A‘la narrated to us; Ibn Idris narrated to us; Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad narrated to us, with a chain and report similar to this one, adding: He did not stand beside it.

Al-Qa‘nabi narrated to us; Abd Allah—meaning Ibn Umar—narrated to us, from Nafi‘, from Ibn Umar, who used to come to the Jamrahs on foot on the three days after the Day of Sacrifice, both going and returning, and reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do this.

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: Abu al-Zubayr informed me: I heard Jabir ibn Abd Allah say: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stoning while mounted on his riding animal on the Day of Sacrifice, saying: Learn your rites from me, for I do not know whether I will perform Hajj after this Hajj of mine.

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abd Allah say: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stone while mounted on the Day of Sacrifice in the forenoon; on the following days, he did so after the sun passed its zenith.

Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Zuhri narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Mis‘ar, from Wabarah, who said: I asked Ibn Umar when I should stone the Jamrahs. He said: When your imam stones, then stone. I repeated the question, and he said: We used to wait until the sun passed its zenith; once it had passed, we would stone.

Ali ibn Bahr and Abd Allah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us—the meaning is the same; they said: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Qasim, from his father, from Aishah, who said: At the end of the Day of Sacrifice, after praying noon, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) departed for Mina and stayed there during the nights of the Days of Tashriq. He stoned each Jamrah after the sun passed its zenith, with seven pebbles at each, saying Allahu akbar with every pebble. He stood for a long time, humbly supplicating, at the first and second Jamrahs, but did not stand at the third.

Hafs ibn Umar and Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us—the meaning is the same; they said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from al-Hakam, from Ibrahim, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from Ibn Mas‘ud, who said: When he reached the largest Jamrah, he placed the House to his left and Mina to his right, and threw seven pebbles at the Jamrah. He said: This is how the one to whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed stoned it.

Abd Allah ibn Maslamah al-Qa‘nabi narrated to us, from Malik. And Ibn al-Sarh informed us; Ibn Wahb informed me; Malik informed me, from Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm, from his father, from Abu al-Baddah ibn Asim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave camel herders permission to spend the nights away from Mina. They were to stone on the Day of Sacrifice, then the next day, then after that on the following two days, and stone again on the Day of Departure.

Musaddad narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Abd Allah and Muhammad, the two sons of Abi Bakr, from their father, from Abu al-Baddah ibn Adi, from his father, that the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed the camel herders to stone one day and leave it on another.

Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us; Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us; Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: I heard Abu Mijlaz say: I asked Ibn Abbas about a matter concerning the Jamrahs. He said: I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) threw six or seven pebbles.

Musaddad narrated to us; Abd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad narrated to us; al-Hajjaj narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman, from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When one of you has stoned Jamrat al-Aqabah, everything becomes lawful to him except relations with women. Abu Dawud said: This report is weak; al-Hajjaj did not meet al-Zuhri or hear from him.

Al-Qa‘nabi narrated to us, from Malik, from Nafi‘, from Abd Allah ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O Allah, have mercy on those who shave their heads. They said: Messenger of Allah, and those who shorten their hair? He again said: O Allah, have mercy on those who shave their heads. They said: And those who shorten their hair? He said: And those who shorten their hair.
