Hajj

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Aslam, the mawla ofUmar ibn al Khattab, that Umar ibn al-Khattab discovered the smell ofperfume while he was at ash-Shajara, and he asked, "Who is this smellof perfume coming from?" Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan answered, "From me,amir al-muminin." Umar said, "From you? By the life of Allah!" Muawiyaexplained, "Umm Habiba perfumed me, amir al-muminin. "'Umar then said,"You must go back and wash it off."

Yahya related to me from Malik from as-Salt ibn Zubayd from morethan one of his family that Umar ibn al-Khattab discovered the smellof perfume while he was at ash-Shajara. Kathir ibn as-Salt was at hisside, and Umar asked, "Who is this smell of perfume coming from?", andKathir said, "From me, amir al-muminin. I matted my hair with perfumeand I intended not to shave it.'' Umar said, "Go to a sharaba and rubyour head until it is clean," and Kathir did so.

Malikexplained, "A sharaba is the ditch at the base of a date-palm."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said and 'Abdullahibn Abi Bakr and Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik asked Salim ibn Abdullah and Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit if hecould use perfume after he had stoned the jamra and shaved his head,but before he had left for the tawafal-ifada. Salim forbade him to doso, but Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit said that he could.

Maliksaid, "There is no harm in a man oiling himself with an oil which doesnot have any perfume in it, either before he enters ihram, or beforehe leaves Mina for the tawaf al-ifada, if he has stoned the jamra."

Yahya said that Malik was asked whether someone in ihramcould eat food with saffron in it, and he said, "There is no harm insome one in ihram eating it if it has been cooked. If, however, it hasnot been cooked he should not eat it."

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, "The people of Madina should enter ihram at Dhu'l-Hulayfa, thepeople of Syria should do so at al-Juhfa, and the people of Najdshould do so at Qarn."

Abdullah ibn Umar added, "I have heardthat the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, 'The people of Yemen should enter ihram at Yalamlam.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar thatAbdullah ibn Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, told the people of Madina to enter ihram atDhu'l-Hulayfa, the people of Syria to do so at al-Juhfa, and thepeople of Najd to do so at Qarn.'

Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I heard these three from the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. I was also toldthat the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, 'The people of Yemen should enter ihram at Yalamlam.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umaronce entered ihram at al-Fur.

Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source thatAbdullah ibn Umar once entered ihram at Ilya (Jerusalem).

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, onceentered ihram at al-Jiirrana (near Makka) for an umra.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Umar that thetalbiya of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, was, "I am at Your service, O Allah, I am at Your service. Youhave no partner. I am at Your service. Praise and blessing belong toYou, and the Kingdom. You have no partner."

Labayk, Allahummalabayk, la sharika laka labayk. Inna'l-hamda wa'n-nimata lakawa'l-mulk, la sharika lak.

Malik said that Abdullah ibn Umarused to add, "I am at Your service, I am at Your service. I am at Yourservice and at Your call. Good is in Your hands, and I am at Yourservice. Our desire is for You, and our action ."

Labayk,labayk, labayk wa sadayka wa'l-khayr biyadayka labayk wa'r-raghba'uilayka wa'l-amalu.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from hisfather that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, used to pray two rakas in the mosque at Dhu'l-Hulayfa, andthen, when he had got on to his camel and it had stood up, he wouldbegin doing talbiya.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Musa ibn Uqba that Salim ibnAbdullah heard his father say, "Your claim that the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered ihram fromthis desert of yours is not true, because he only entered ihram fromthe mosque, i.e. the mosque of Dhu'l-Hulayfa."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburithat Ubayd ibn Jurayj once said to Abdullah ibn Umar, "Abu Abd ar-Rahman, I have seen you doing four things which I have never seen anyof your companions doing." He said, "What are they, Ibn Jurayj?" andhe replied, "I have seen you touching only the twoYamani corners, Ihave seen you wearing hairless sandals, I have seen you using yellowdye, and, when you were at Makka and everybody had started doingtalbiya after seeing the new moon, I saw that you did not do so untilthe eighth of Dhu'l-Hijja."

Abdullah ibn Umar replied, "Asfor the corners, I only ever saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, touching the two Yamani corners. As forthe sandals, I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, wearing hairless sandals and doing wudu in them, andI like wearing them. As for using yellow dye, I saw the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, using it, and I alsolike to use it for dyeing things with. As for doing talbiya, I neversaw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,begin doing so until he had set out on the animal he was riding on(i.e. for Mina and Arafa)."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to pray in the mosque of Dhu'l-Hulayfa, and then go outside andget on his camel and when his camel had stood up he would begin to dotalbiya.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan had started to do talbiya at the mosque ofDhu'l-Hulayfa, after the animal he was riding on had stood up, andthat Aban ibn Uthman had told him to do this.

Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibnMuhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm from Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Bakr ibn al-Harithibn Hisham from Khallad ibn as-Sa'ib al-Ansari from his father thatthe Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,"Jibril came to me and told me to tell my companions, or whoever waswith me, to raise their voices when doing talbiya."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard the people ofknowledge say, "Women do not have to raise their voices when they aredoing talbiya, and a woman should only speak loudly enough to hearherself."

Malik said, "Some one who is in ihram should notraise his voice when doing talbiya if he is in a mosque where thereare groups of people. He should only speak loudly enough for himselfand those who are near him to be able to hear, except in the MasjidalHaram and the mosque at Mina, where he should raise his voice."

Malik said, "I have heard some of the people of knowledgerecommending (people to do) talbiya at the end of every prayer and atevery rise on the route."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abu'l-Aswad Muhammad ibn Abdar-Rahman, fromUrwa ibn az-Zubayr, that A'isha, the wife of theProphet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "We set outwith the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,in the year of the farewell hajj, and some of us went into ihram to doumra, some of us went into ihram to do hajj and umra, and some of uswent into ihram to do hajj on its own. The Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, went into ihram to do hajj on itsown. Those who had gone into ihram to do umra came out of ihram (afterdoing umra). Those who had gone into ihram to do hajj (on its own), orto do both hajj and umra, did not come out of ihram until the day ofthe sacrifice."

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim,from his father, from A'isha, umm al-muminin, that the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did hajj on its own.

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abu'l-Aswad Muhammad ibn'Abd ar-Rahman, from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr, from A'isha, umm al-muminin,that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,did hajj on its own.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard the people ofknowledge say, "If someone goes into ihram to do hajj on its own, hecannot then go into ihram to do umra.''

Malik said, "This iswhat I have found the people of knowledge in our city doing."
