The Book of Pilgrimage
كتاب الحج
Chapter 75: It is recommended to recite statements of remembrance when setting out for Hajj or any other purpose, and the best of this remembrances
Abdullah b. Sarjis (Allah be pleased with him) reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set forth on a journey, he sought refuge (with Allah) from the hardships of the travelling, and finding of evil changes on return, and disgrace after honour, and the curse of the oppressed and a gloomy sad scene in family and property.
" O Allah I seek refuge with Thee from the hardships of the journey."
Chapter 76: What should be said when returning from Hajj and other journeys
There is no god but Allah. He is One, there is no partner with Him, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise and He is Potent over everything. (We are) returning, repenting, worshipping, prostrating before our Lord, and we praise Him Allah fulfilled His promise and helped His servant, and routed the confederates alone.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar through another chain of transmitters (but with one alteration) that here Allah-o-Akbar is mentioned twice.
I and Abu Talha (both) came back along with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). Safiyyah (the wife of the Holy Prophet) rode behind him on his camel and as we came to the out- skirts of Medina he said: (We are those) who return, who repent, who worship our Lord, who praise (Him), and he went on uttering this until we entered Medina.
A hadith like this has been narrated by Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) through another chain of transmitters.
Chapter 77: It is recommended to stop in Batha' of Dhul-Hulaifah and pray there when departing from Hajj and 'Umrah, or any time one passes through it
Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made (his camel) kneel down (i, e. halt at the stony ground of Dhu'l-Hulaifa) and prayed there, and so did Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with them).
Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with them) used to halt his camel in the stony ground at Dhu'l-Hulaifa, where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to make a halt (and pray).
Nafi' reported that when 'Abdullah b. 'Umar returned from Hajj or 'Umra he made his camel kneel down (i. e. halted) in the stony ground of Dhu'l-Hulaifa where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had made his camel halt.
Verily it is a blessed stony-ground.
It is a blessed stony ground. Musa (one of the narrators) said: Salim made his came) halt at the mosque where 'Abdullah made his camel halt as seeking the place of stay of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). It is, in fact, situated at a lower plain than the mosque, which stands in the heart of the valley, and it is between it (the mosque) (and Qibla) that that place (where Allah's Apostle used to get down for rest and prayer) is situated.
Chapter 78: No idolator may circumambulate the house, and no one may circumambulate the house naked, and when the greatest day of Hajj is
Abu Bakr Siddiq (Allah be pleased with him) sent me during Hajj before the Farewell Pilgrimage for which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had appointed him an Amir, among a group of people whom he had ordered to make announcement to the people on the Day of Nahr:" After this year no polytheist may perform the Pilgrimage and no naked person may circumambulate the House." Ibn Shihab stated that Humaid b. Abd al-Rahman said that according to this narration of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) the day of Hajj al-Akbar (Great Hajj) is this Day of Nahr (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja).
Chapter 79: The virtue of the day of 'Arafat
There is no day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the angels, saying: What do these want?
An Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next, and Hajj which is accepted will receive no other reward than Paradise.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) through another chain of transmitters.
He who came to this House (Ka'ba) (with the intention of performing Pilgrimage), and neither spoke indecently nor did he act wickedly. would return (free from sin) as on the (very first day) his mother bore him.
" He who performed Pilgrimage but neither spoke indecently nor acted wickedly."
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him).
Chapter 80: Pilgrims staying in Makkah, and Inheriting its houses
Will you stay in your house at Mecca (which you abandoned at the time of migration)? Thereupon he said: Has 'Aqil left for as any land or house? And 'Aqil and Talib became the Inheritors of Abu Talib's (property), and neither Ja'far nor 'Ali inherited anything from him, for both (Ja'far and 'Ali) were Muslims whereas 'Aqil and Talib were non-Muslims.
Allah's Messenger, God willing, where will you stay tomorrow? And it was at the time of the Conquest (of Mecca). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has 'Aqil left any accommodation for us?
