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

Ibn al-Sarh narrated to us; Ibn Wahb informed us; Malik informed me, from Abu al-Aswad, with its chain and a similar report. He added: Those who entered ihram for Umrah exited ihram.

Al-Qanabi narrated to us, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Farewell Pilgrimage and entered ihram for Umrah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: Whoever has a sacrificial offering with him should enter ihram for Hajj together with Umrah, and should not exit ihram until completing both. I arrived in Mecca while menstruating and had not circumambulated the House or walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Undo your hair, comb it, enter ihram for Hajj, and leave Umrah. She said: I did so. When we had completed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me with Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr to al-Tanim, where I performed Umrah. He said: This is in place of your Umrah. She said: Those who had entered ihram for Umrah circumambulated the House and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then exited ihram. After returning from Mina for their Hajj, they performed another circumambulation. Those who had combined Hajj and Umrah performed only one circumambulation. Abu Dawud said: Ibrahim ibn Sad and Mamar narrated a similar report from Ibn Shihab, but did not mention the circumambulation by those who entered ihram for Umrah or by those who combined Hajj and Umrah.

Abu Salamah, Musa ibn Ismail, narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Qasim, from his father, from Aishah, who said: We began the talbiyah for Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I began menstruating. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came in while I was crying and asked: Why are you crying, Aishah? I said: I am menstruating; I wish I had not performed Hajj. He said: Glory be to Allah! This is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. He said: Perform all the rites except circumambulation of the House. When we entered Mecca, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wishes to make it Umrah may do so, except those who have a sacrificial offering with them. Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives on the Day of Sacrifice. When the night of al-Batha came and Aishah had become pure, she said: Messenger of Allah, will my companions return having performed Hajj and Umrah while I return having performed only Hajj? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr to take her to al-Tanim, where she began the talbiyah for Umrah.

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Jarir narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from Aishah, who said: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), thinking it was only Hajj. When we arrived, we circumambulated the House. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then ordered those who had not brought sacrificial offerings to exit ihram, and those who had not brought offerings did so.

Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Faris narrated to us; Uthman ibn Umar narrated to us; Yunus informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Had I known beforehand what I know now, I would not have brought sacrificial offerings. Muhammad said: I think he added: And I would have exited ihram along with those who exited after Umrah. He said: He wanted the people's rites to be one and the same.

Qutaybah ibn Said narrated to us; al-Layth narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, who said: We came with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), entering ihram for Hajj alone, while Aishah entered ihram for Umrah. When we reached Sarif, she began menstruating. On arriving, we circumambulated the Ka'bah and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered those of us without a sacrificial offering to exit ihram. We asked: Exit completely? He replied: Completely. We had relations with our wives, applied perfume, and wore our clothes. Only four nights remained before Arafat. Then we entered ihram on the Day of Tarwiyah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Aishah and found her crying. He asked: What is the matter? She said: I have begun menstruating, while the people have exited ihram and I have not; nor have I circumambulated the House. Now the people are going to Hajj. He said: This is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. Bathe, then enter ihram for Hajj. She did so and stood at the appointed places until she became pure, then circumambulated the House and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. He said: You have now completed both your Hajj and Umrah. She said: Messenger of Allah, I feel that I did not circumambulate the House when I performed Hajj. He said: Abd al-Rahman, take her and perform Umrah for her from al-Tanim. This was on the night of al-Hasbah.

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Yahya ibn Said narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Aishah during part of this account. At the words, Enter ihram for Hajj, he added: Then perform Hajj and do what pilgrims do, except do not circumambulate the House and do not pray.

Al-Abbas ibn al-Walid ibn Mazyad narrated to us; my father informed me; al-Awzai narrated to me; a man who heard Ata ibn Abi Rabah narrated to me; Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated to me, who said: We entered ihram with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for Hajj alone, with nothing combined with it. We arrived in Mecca four nights into Dhu al-Hijjah, circumambulated and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to exit ihram and said: Had I not brought my sacrificial offering, I would have exited ihram. Suraqah ibn Malik then stood and asked: Messenger of Allah, is this permission for us to perform tamattu only this year, or forever? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Rather, it is forever. Al-Awzai said: I heard Ata ibn Abi Rabah narrate this, but I had not retained it until I met Ibn Jurayj, who confirmed it for me.

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us, from Qays ibn Sad, from Ata ibn Abi Rabah, from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions arrived four nights into Dhu al-Hijjah. When they had circumambulated the House and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Make it Umrah, except for whoever has a sacrificial offering. On the Day of Tarwiyah, they entered ihram for Hajj. On the Day of Sacrifice, they came and circumambulated the House, but did not walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah.

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi narrated to us; Habib—meaning al-Muallim—narrated to us, from Ata, who said: Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions entered ihram for Hajj, and no one among them had a sacrificial offering that day except the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Talhah. Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, had arrived from Yemen with a sacrificial offering and said: I entered ihram as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Companions to make it Umrah, circumambulate, shorten their hair, and exit ihram, except those who had sacrificial offerings. They said: Shall we go to Mina while our male organs are dripping? This reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Had I known beforehand what I know now, I would not have brought a sacrificial offering; and had I not brought one, I would have exited ihram.

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us that Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to them, from Shubah, from al-Hakam, from Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: This is an Umrah from which we have benefited. Whoever has no sacrificial offering should exit ihram completely; Umrah has been joined with Hajj until the Day of Resurrection. Abu Dawud said: This is a munkar report; it is only Ibn Abbas's own statement.

Ubayd Allah ibn Muadh narrated to us; my father narrated to me; al-Nahhas narrated to us, from Ata, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: When a man enters ihram for Hajj, then arrives in Mecca and circumambulates the House and walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, he has exited ihram, and it is an Umrah. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Jurayj narrated it from a man, from Ata: The Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered ihram for Hajj alone, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it Umrah.

Al-Hasan ibn Shawk ar and Ahmad ibn Mani narrated to us; they said: Hushaym narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad. Ibn Mani said: Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad informed us with a report of the same meaning, from Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered ihram for Hajj. When he arrived, he circumambulated the House and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Ibn Shawkar said: He did not shorten his hair. They then agree: He did not exit ihram because of the sacrificial offering, and he ordered those who had not brought an offering to circumambulate, walk between the two hills, shorten their hair, and then exit ihram. Ibn Mani added to his version: or shave their heads, then exit ihram.

Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to us; Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us; Haywah informed me; Abu Isa al-Khurasani informed me, from Abdullah ibn al-Qasim, from Said ibn al-Musayyab: A man from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, and testified before him that he had heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), during the illness in which he died, forbid Umrah before Hajj.

Musa Abu Salamah narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Abu Shaykh al-Hunai—Khaywan ibn Khaldah, one of the people of Basra who had studied with Abu Musa al-Ashari—that Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan said to the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade such-and-such, and riding on the skins of leopards? They replied: Yes. He asked: Do you know that he forbade combining Hajj and Umrah? They said: As for that, no. He said: It was included with those other prohibitions, but you have forgotten it.

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Hushaym narrated to us; Yahya ibn Abi Ishaq, Abd al-Aziz ibn Suhayb, and Humayd al-Tawil informed us, from Anas ibn Malik, who said they heard him say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting the talbiyah for Hajj and Umrah together, saying: Here I am for Umrah and Hajj; here I am for Umrah and Hajj.

Abu Salamah, Musa ibn Ismail, narrated to us; Wuhayb narrated to us; Ayyub narrated to us, from Abu Qilabah, from Anas: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the night there—meaning at Dhu al-Hulayfah—until morning. Then he mounted, and when he was settled on al-Bayda, he praised Allah, glorified Him, and declared His greatness; then he began the talbiyah for Hajj and Umrah, and the people began it for both. When we arrived, he ordered the people to exit ihram. When the Day of Tarwiyah came, they entered ihram for Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered seven sacrificial camels with his own hand while they stood. Abu Dawud said: What Anas uniquely reports here is that the Prophet began with praise, glorification, and declaring Allah's greatness, then began the talbiyah for Hajj.

Yahya ibn Main narrated to us; Hajjaj narrated to us; Yunus narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara ibn Azib, who said: I was with Ali when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed him governor over Yemen. I acquired some ounces of silver with him. When Ali returned from Yemen to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he found that Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, had put on dyed clothes and perfumed the house. She said: What is wrong with you? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered his Companions to exit ihram, and they have done so. I told her: I entered ihram in the same manner as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I came to the Prophet, and he asked me: What did you do? I replied: I entered ihram in the same manner as the Prophet. He said: I brought the sacrificial offering and combined Hajj and Umrah. He then said to me: Slaughter sixty-seven or sixty-six of the camels, keep thirty-three or thirty-four for yourself, and set aside for me a piece from each camel.

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Jarir ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated to us, from Mansur, from Abu Wail, who said: Subayy ibn Mab ad said: I entered ihram for both together. Umar said: You have been guided to the practice of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Muhammad ibn Qudamah ibn Ayun and Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; they said: Jarir ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated to us, from Mansur, from Abu Wail, who said: Subayy ibn Mab ad said: I was a Christian Bedouin, then I embraced Islam. I went to a man from my tribe named Hudhaym ibn Thurmulah and said: My good man, I am eager to strive in the cause of Allah, and I have found that Hajj and Umrah are both prescribed for me. How can I combine them? He said: Combine them and offer whatever sacrificial animal is readily available. So I entered ihram for both together. When I reached al-Udhayb, Salman ibn Rabiah and Zayd ibn Suhan met me while I was entering ihram for both. One said to the other: This man is no more knowledgeable than his camel. It was as if a mountain had fallen upon me. When I reached Umar ibn al-Khattab, I said: Commander of the Faithful, I was a Christian Bedouin, then embraced Islam. I am eager to strive in the cause of Allah, and I found that Hajj and Umrah are both prescribed for me. I went to a man from my people who told me to combine them and offer whatever sacrificial animal is readily available, so I entered ihram for both together. Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: You have been guided to the practice of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
