Hajj

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibnUmar set out for Makka during the troubles (between al-Hajjaj ibnYusuf and Zubair ibn al-Awwam) he said, "If I am blocked from going tothe House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," and he went intoihram for umra, because that was what the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, did in the year of al-Hudaybiya.

But afterwards, he reconsidered his position and said, "It isthe same either way." After that he turned to his companions and said,"It is the same either way. I call you to witness that I have decidedin favour of hajj and umra together."

He then got through tothe House (without being stopped) and did one set of tawaf, which heconsidered to be enough for himself, and sacrificed an animal.

Malik said, "This is what we go by if someone is hindered by anenemy, as the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, andhis companions were. If some one is hindered by anything other than anenemy, he is only freed from ihram by tawaf of the House. "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibnAbdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Someone who is held back fromgoing to the House by illness can only come out of ihram after he hasdone tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa. If it isabsolutely necessary for him to wear any ordinary clothes, or undergomedical treatment, he should do that and pay compensation for it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he hadheard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, used to say, "Only the House frees a person in ihramfrom ihram."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-Sakhtayani that a very old man from Basra once said to him, "I set outfor Makka but on the way there I broke my thigh, so I sent a messageon to Makka Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Umar and the peoplewere there, but no-one allowed me to leave ihram, and I stayed therefor seven months until I left ihram by doing an umra.''

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibnYasar that Said ibn Huzaba al-Makhzumi was thrown off his mount whilehe was in ihram on the road to Makka. He asked after the person incharge of the relay station where he was injured and he found Abdullahibn Umar, Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr and Marwan ibn al-Hakam there. Hetold them what had happened to him and all of them said that he shouldtake whatever medicine he had to take and pay compensation for it.Then, when he got better again, he should do umra and come out of hisihram, after which he had to do hajj another year and to offerwhatever sacrificial animal he was able to in the future.

Malik said, "This is what we do here (in Madina) if someone isdetained by something other than an enemy. And when Abu Ayyub al-Ansari and Habbar ibn al-Aswad came to the day of the sacrifice andhad missed the hajj, Umar ibn al-Khattab told them to come out ofihram by doing umra and then to go home free of ihram and do hajj sometime in the future and to sacrifice an animal, or, if they could notfind one, to fast three days during the hajj and seven days after theyhad returned to their families."

Malik said, "Anyone who isdetained from doing hajj after he has gone into ihram, whether byillness or otherwise, or by an error in calculating the month orbecause the new moon is concealed from him is in the same position assome one who is hindered from doing the hajj and must do the same ashe does."

Yahya said that Malik was asked about the situationof someone from Makka who went into ihram for hajj and then broke abone or had severe stomach pain, or of a woman who was in labour, andhe said, "Someone to whom this happens is in the same situation as onewho is hindered from doing the hajj, and he must do the same as peoplefrom outlying regions do when they are hindered from doing the hajj."

Malik said, about someone who arrived in the months of thehajj with the intention of doing umra, and completed his umra and wentinto ihram in Makka to do hajj, and then broke a bone or somethingelse happened to him which stopped him from being present at Arafawith everybody else, "I think that he should stay where he is until heis better and then go outside the area of the Haram, and then returnto Makka and do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa, andthen leave ihram. He must then do hajj again another year and offer asacrificial animal ."

Malik said, about someone who leftihram in Makka, and then did tawaf of the House and say between Safaand Marwa, and then fell ill and was unable to be present witheverybody at Arafa, "If the hajj passes someone by he should, if hecan, go out of the area of the Haram and then come back in again to doumra and do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa, becausehe had not intended his initial tawaf to be for an umra, and so forthis reason he does it again. He must do the next hajj and offer asacrificial animal.

If he is not one of the people of Makka,and something happens to him which stops him from doing the hajj, buthe does tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa, he shouldcome out of ihram by doing an umra and then do tawaf of the House asecond time, and say between Safa and Marwa, because his initial tawafand say were intended for the hajj. He must do the next hajj and offera sacrificial animal."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibnAbdullah that Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakras-Siddiq toldAbdullah ibn Umar from A'isha, that the Prophet, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said, "Don't you see that when your people builtthe Kaba they fell short of the foundations of Ibrahim?" A'isha said,"Messenger of Allah, won't you return it to the foundations ofIbrahim?" and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, said, "If it were not that your people have only recentlyleft kufr, I would have done so."

Salim ibn Abdullah saidthat Abdullah ibn Umar said, "If A'isha heard this from the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then I considerthat the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,only refrained from greeting the two corners which are adjacent to theHijr because the House had not been completed on the foundations ofIbrahim." (i.e. the corners he did not touch were not the originalcorners of the Kaba) .

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from hisfather that A'isha, umm al-muminin, said, "I do not mind whether Ipray in the Hijr or in the House." (i.e. praying in the Hijr is thesame as praying in the House).

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Ibn Shihab say thathe had heard one of the people of knowledge say that the Hijr was onlyenclosed so that people would go beyond it as they were making tawaf,and their tawaf would therefore encompass the original House.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad from hisfather that Jabir ibn Abdullah said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, hastening from the BlackStone until he reached it again, three times."

Malik said,"This is what is still done by the people of knowledge in our city."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to hasten from the Black Stone round to the Black Stone threetimes and then would walk four circuits normally.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that when hisfather did tawaf of the House he would hasten in the first threecircuits and say in a low voice, "O Allah, there is no god but You,and You bring to life after You have made to die."

Allahummala ilaha illa anta, wa anta tuhyi badama amatta.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from hisfather that he saw Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr go into ihram for umra atat-Tanim.

He said, "Then I saw him hasten around the Housefor three circuits."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarnever used to do tawaf of the House or say between Safa and Marwa ifhe went into ihram in Makka until he had returned from Mina, nor wouldhe hasten when doing tawaf of the House if he went into ihram inMakka.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that when theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, hadfinished his tawaf of the House, prayed two rakas, and wanted to go toSafa and Marwa, he would salute the corner of the Black Stone beforehe left.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, once said to Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf, "What do you do, AbuMuhammad, when saluting the corner?" and Abd ar-Rahman said,"Sometimes I salute it, and sometimes I don't." The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are right."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather used to salute all the corners when he did tawaf of the Houseand did not omit the Yamani corner unless he was prevented from it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from hisfather that Umar ibn al-Khattab said to the corner of the Black Stonewhile he was doing tawaf of the House, "You are only a stone, and if Ihad not seen the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, kiss you, I would not do so." Then he kissed it.

Malik said, "I have heard some of the people of knowledge recommendingsomeone doing tawaf of the House to put his hand to his mouth when hetakes it from the Yamani corner."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather would never do two sets of seven tawafs together withoutpraying between them. After every seven tawafs he would pray tworakas, sometimes at the maqam of Ibrahim, and sometimes elsewhere.

Malik was asked whether a man doing voluntary tawaf could, tomake it easier on himself, join two or more sets of seven circuits andthen pray whatever he owed for those sets of seven, and he said, "Heshould not do that. The sunna is that he does two rakasafter everyseven circuits."

Malik said, about someone who began doingtawaf and then forgot how many he had done and did eightor ninecircuits, "He should stop when he knows that he has done more than theright number and then pray two rakas,and he should not count the onesthat he has done in excess. Neither should he build on the nine thathe has done and then pray the rakas for the two sets of seven circuitstogether, because the sunna is that you pray two rakas after everyseven circuits."

Malik said that someone who was in doubtabout his tawaf after he had prayed the two rakas of tawaf should goback and complete his tawaf until he was certain of how much he haddone. He should then repeat the two rakas, because prayer when doingtawaf was only valid after completing seven circuits.

"Ifsome one breaks his wudu either while he is doing tawaf, or when hehas finished tawaf but before he has prayed the two rakas of tawaf, heshould do wudu and begin the tawaf and the two rakas afresh. Breakingwudu does not interrupt say between Safa and Marwa, but a personshould not begin say unless he is pure by being in wudu."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Humayd ibnAbd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari mentioned tohim that he once did tawaf of the House with Umar ibn al-Khattab aftersubh and when Umar had finished his tawaf he looked and saw that thesun had not yet risen, so he rode on until he made his camel kneel atDhu Tuwa, and he prayed two rakas.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu'z Zubayr al-Makki said,"I saw Abdullah ibn Abbas doing tawaf after asr. Then he went into hisroom and I do not know what he did."
