Hajj

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafj from Salim andUbaydullah, two sons of Abdullah ibn Umar, that their father Abdullahibn Umar used to send his family and children from Muzdalifa to Minaahead of him so that they could pray subh at Mina and throw the stonesbefore everyone (else) arrived.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Ata ibnAbi Rabah that a mawla of Asma bint Abi Bakr told him, "We arrived atMina with Asma bint Abi Bakr at the end of the night, and I said toher, 'We have arrived at Mina at the end of the night,' and she said,'We used to do that with one who was better than you.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Talha ibnUbaydullah used to send his family and children from Muzdalifa to Minaahead of him.

Yahya related to.me from Malik that he had heard one of thepeople of knowledge disapproving of stoning the jamra until after dawnon the day of sacrifice, as it was halal for whoever had thrown thestones to sacrifice.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Fatimabint al-Mundhir told him that she used to see Asma bint Abi BakratMuzdalifa telling whoever led the subh prayer for her and hercompanions to pray it as soon as the dawn broke, after which she wouldmount and go to Mina without stopping at all.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather said, "I was sitting with Usama ibn Zayd when some one askedhim, 'How did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, travel when he went from Arafa to Muzdalifa during thefarewell hajj?' and he replied, 'He went at a medium pace, but when hefound a gap (in the crowds) he speeded up.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to spur on his mount in the middle of Muhassir over the distanceof a stone's throw.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said onceat Mina, "This place (where I have just sacrificed), and the whole ofMina, is a place of sacrifice," and he said once during umra, "Thisplace of sacrifice" meaning Marwa, "and all the pathways of Makka andits roads are a place of sacrifice."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that Amrabint Abd ar-Rahman told him that she had heard A'isha, umm al-muminin,saying, "We set out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, when there were five nights left in Dhu'l-Qadaand we assumed that we must be setting out for hajj. When we got nearto Makka, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, told everyone that did not have a sacrificial animal with themto leave ihram after they had done tawaf of the House and say betweenSafa and Marwa."

A'isha added, "We were sent some beef on theday of sacrifice. I asked what it was and they said that the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had sacrificed forhis wives."

Yahya ibn Said said, "I mentioned this hadith toQasim ibn Muhammad and he said, 'She has given you the completehadith, by Allah.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat Hafsa, umm al-muminin, once said to the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, "Why is it that everyone has leftihram and you still have not left ihram from your umra?" and hereplied, "I have matted my hair and garlanded my sacrificial animaland will not leave ihram until I have sacrificed the animal."

190 Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad fromhis father from Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, killed some of his sacrificialanimals himself, and someone else killed the rest.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarsaid, "Someone who vows to sacrifice a camel or a cow to Allah shouldgarland it with two sandals about its neck, and brand it by causingblood to flow from its side. He should then sacrifice it either at theHouse or at Mina on the day of sacrifice. There are no other correctplaces apart from those. However, someone who vows to slaughter acamel or a cow simply as a sacrifice can sacrifice it wherever hewishes."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather used to kill his sacrificial animals while they were standing.

Malik said, "No-one is permitted to shave his head until hehas killed his sacrificial animal, and no-one must sacrifice beforedawn on the day of sacrifice. The things that should be done on theday of sacrifice are slaughtering, donning clothes, grooming the bodygenerally (at-tafath) and shaving the head, and none of this may bedone before the day of sacrifice."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, "O Allah, have mercy on those who shave their hair." They said,"And those who shorten (their hair), Messenger of Allah." He said,"O Allah, have mercy on those who shave." They said, "And those whoshorten, Messenger of Allah." He said, "And those who shorten."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasimthat his father used to go into Makka by night when he was doing umraand do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa and delay theshaving until the morning, but he would not go back to the House anddo tawaf again until he had shaved his head.

Abd ar-Rahmanadded, "Sometimes he would enter the mosque and do the witr prayerthere without actually going near the House."

Malik said,"At-tafath is shaving the head, putting on normal clothes and thingsof that nature."

Yahya said that Malik was asked whether aman who forgot to shave (his head) at Mina during the hajj could shavein Makka, and he said, "That is permissible, but I prefer the shavingto be done at Mina."

Malik said, "What we are all agreed uponhere (in Madina) is that no-one should shave his head or cut his hairuntil he has killed his sacrificial animal, if he has one, and thingsthat are haram for him do not become halal for him until he leavesihram at Mina on the day of sacrifice. This is because Allah, theBlessed and Exalted, says, 'Do not shave yourheads until thesacrificial animal has reached its destination. ' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that if Abdullah ibnUmar had finished the fast of Ramadan and intended to do hajj, hewould not cut his hair or beard at all until he had done hajj.

Malik said, "It is not necessary for people to do the same."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to trim his beard and moustache when he shaved at the end of ahajj or umra.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahmanthat a man came to Qasim ibn Muhammad and said, "I did the tawaf al-ifada along with my wife, and then I went off onto a mountain path andapproached my wife to make love to her, and she said, 'I have not cutmy hair yet.' So I bit some of her hair off with my teeth and then hadintercourse with her." Qasim laughed and said, "Tell her to cut herhair with some scissors."

Malik said, "To my liking an animalshould be sacrificed in an instance such as this, because Abdullah ibnAbbas said, 'Whoever forgets any of his rites on hajj should sacrificean animal.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umaronce met a relative of his called al-Mujabbar who had done the tawafal-ifada but, out of ignorance, had not shaved his head or cut hishair. Abdullah told him to go back and shave his head or cut his hair,and then go back and do the tawaf al-ifada.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that when Salimibn Abdullah intended to go into ihram he would call for some scissorsand trim his moustache and beard before setting off and before goinginto ihram.
