Farewell Hajj of Rasool Allah-saww

Summary:

Rasool Allah-saww performed only one Hajj since emigrating to Madinah – the farewell Hajj. However, Prophet-saww had performed several Hajjs, over 20, while residing in Makkah.  A brief account of the farewell Hajj of Rasool Allah-saww is presented below, detailed Ahadith related to Hajj rituals are presented elsewhere. See for example: Hajj Bait Allah (azwj) | Hubeali.com

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بَعْدَ قُدُومِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً وَ قَدْ حَجَّ بِمَكَّةَ مَعَ قَوْمِهِ حِجَّاتٍ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Giyas Bin Ibrahim, from:

(Imam) Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww did not perform Hajj, after proceeding to Al-Medina, except for one, and he-saww had performed Hajj in Makkah along with his-saww people, (many) Hajjs’.[1]

Farewell Hajj

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجالًا وَ عَلى كُلِّ ضامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ فَأَمَرَ الْمُؤَذِّنِينَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنُوا بِأَعْلَى أَصْوَاتِهِمْ بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَحُجُّ فِي عَامِهِ هَذَا

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said that Rasool-Allah-saww stayed in Al-Medina for ten years not performing Hajj. Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed upon him [22:27] And proclaim among the people for the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path. So, he-saww ordered the proclaimers that they should be proclaiming in their loud voices that Rasool-Allah-saww would be performing (Hajj) during this year of his-saww.

فَعَلِمَ بِهِ مَنْ حَضَرَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ أَهْلُ الْعَوَالِي وَ الْأَعْرَابُ وَ اجْتَمَعُوا لِحَجِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ إِنَّمَا كَانُوا تَابِعِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ وَ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ أَوْ يَصْنَعُ شَيْئاً فَيَصْنَعُونَهُ

Therefore, the one who were present in Al-Medina came to know of it, and the people of Al-Awaly, and the Bedouins, and they gathered for the Hajj of Rasool-Allah-saww during the four days remaining from Zil-Qadah. And rather, they were following awaiting what he-saww would order them with so they would follow it, or he-saww would do something, so they would be doing it.

فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي أَرْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ الظُّهْرَ وَ عَزَمَ بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرِداً وَ خَرَجَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَيْدَاءِ عِنْدَ الْمِيلِ الْأَوَّلِ فَصُفَّ لَهُ سِمَاطَانِ

Rasool-Allah-saww went out with four days remaining from Zil-Qadah. When he-saww ended up to Zul Huleyfa, the sun declined, so he-saww washed, then went out until he-saww came over to the Masjid which was by the tree. He-saww Prayed Al-Zohr therein, and determined with the individual Hajj, and went out until he-saww ended up to Al-Bayda at the first mile. They stood in two rows for him-saww.

فَلَبَّى بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرِداً وَ سَاقَ الْهَدْيَ سِتّاً وَ سِتِّينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً وَ سِتِّينَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي سَلْخِ أَرْبَعٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ اسْتَلَمَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ طَوَافِهِ

So, he-saww exclaimed Talbiyya with the individual Hajj and ushered the sacrificial animals, sixty-six or forty-six, until he-saww ended up to Makkah during the end part of the fourth of Zil-Hijja. So he-saww circumambulated (Tawaf) with the House (Kabah) seven circuits, then Prayed two Cycles behind the Standing Place of Ibrahim-as. Then he-saww turned back to the (Black) Stone, so he-saww kissed it, and he-saww had kissed it during his-saww first circumambulation (Tawaf).

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَأَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ وَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ السَّعْيَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ صَنَعَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ الصَّفا وَ الْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِما

Then he-saww said: ‘Al-Safa and Al-Marwa are from the Rituals of Allah-azwj, therefore begin with what Allah-azwj the Exalted Began with. And the Muslims were thinking that the Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa was something which the Polytheists used to do. So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed [2:158] Surely, the Safa and the Marwa are among the Rituals appointed by Allah; so whoever makes a Pilgrimage to the House or pays a visit (to it), there is no blame on him if he goes round them both.

ثُمَّ أَتَى الصَّفَا فَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ دَعَا مِقْدَارَ مَا يُقْرَأُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ مُتَرَسِّلًا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى الْمَرْوَةِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا كَمَا وَقَفَ عَلَى الصَّفَا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ وَ عَادَ إِلَى الصَّفَا فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى الْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ سَعْيِهِ

Then he-saww came to Al-Safa, so he-saww climbed upon it and faced the Yemeni corner (of the Kabah), and he-saww Praised Allah-azwj and Extolled upon Him-azwj, and supplicated for a measurement of what it takes to recite Surah Al-Baqarah slowly. Then he-saww went down to Al-Marwa, so he-saww paused upon it just as he-saww had paused upon Al-Safa. Then he-saww came down and returned to Al-Safa. So he-saww paused upon it, then went down to Al-Marwa, until he-saww was free from (doing it) seven (times).

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ سَعْيِهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ يَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ آمُرَ مَنْ لَمْ يَسُقْ هَدْياً أَنْ يُحِلَّ وَ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ لَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ وَ لَكِنِّي سُقْتُ الْهَدْيَ وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِسَائِقِ الْهَدْيِ أَنْ يُحِلَّ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ

When he-saww was free from his-saww seventh, and he-saww was upon Al-Marwa, faced towards the people with his-saww face, and he-saww Praised Allah-azwj and Extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘This is Jibraeel-as’, and he-saww gestured by his-saww hand to behind him-saww, ‘Instructing me-saww that I-saww should order the one who did not usher a sacrificial animal, that he should free (himself from the wearing of Ihram), and had I-saww faced from my-saww matters what I-saww managed, I-saww would have done the like of what I-saww am ordering you all for, but I-saww ushered the sacrificial animal, and it is not befitting for an usherer of the sacrificial animal that he frees (from wearing the Ihram) until the sacrificial animal reaches its place.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ حُجَّاجاً وَ رُءُوسُنَا وَ شُعُورُنَا تَقْطُرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِهَذَا أَبَداً فَقَالَ لَهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عُلِّمْنَا دِينَنَا كَأَنَّا خُلِقْنَا الْيَوْمَ فَهَذَا الَّذِي أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بَلْ هُوَ لِلْأَبَدِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ شَبَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ وَ قَالَ دَخَلَتِ الْعُمْرَةُ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

He-asws said: ‘So a man from the group said, ‘We were brought out as Pilgrims and our heads and our hairs are dripping’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘But, you will never believe in this, ever!’ So Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Ju’sham Al-Kinany said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Teach us our Religion as if we have been Created today. So, which you-saww are ordering us with, it is for this year of our or (we) do this in the future (as well)?’ So Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘But, it is forever, up to the Day of Judgement’. Then he-saww clasped (held) his-saww fingers and said: ‘The Umra is included in the Hajj up to the Day of Judgement’.

قَالَ وَ قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) مِنَ الْيَمَنِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هُوَ بِمَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا وَ هِيَ قَدْ أَحَلَّتْ فَوَجَدَ رِيحاً طَيِّبَةً وَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَاباً مَصْبُوغَةً فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَقَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا بِهَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

He-asws said: ‘And Ali-asws came back from Al-Yemen to Rasool-Allah-saww, and he-saww was in Makkah. So he-asws went over to Syeda Fatima-asws and she-asws had freed (from wearing Ihram), so he-asws found an aromatic fragrance, and found dyed clothes upon her. So he-asws said: ‘What is this, O Fatima-asws?’ So, she-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww ordered us with this’.

فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مُسْتَفْتِياً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ قَدْ أَحَلَّتْ وَ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ مَصْبُوغَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنَا أَمَرْتُ النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ فَأَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ بِمَا أَهْلَلْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِهْلَالًا كَإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قِرَّ عَلَى إِحْرَامِكَ مِثْلِي وَ أَنْتَ شَرِيكِي فِي هَدْيِي

Ali-asws went out to Rasool-Allah-saww to follow up, and he-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I-asws saw (Syeda) Fatima-asws to have freed (from wearing Ihram), and upon her-asws were dyed clothes’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww ordered the people with that. But you-asws, O Ali-asws, with what have you-asws welcomed (commenced) (the Hajj)?’ He-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! My-asws welcoming is like the welcoming of the Prophet-saww’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to him‑asws: ‘Remain upon your-asws Ihram like me-saww, and you-asws are a participant in my-saww sacrificial offerings’.

قَالَ وَ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِمَكَّةَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ هُوَ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ لَمْ يَنْزِلِ الدُّورَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلُوا وَ يُهِلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَاتَّبِعُوا مِلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

He-asws said: ‘And Rasool-Allah-saww encamped in Makkah at Al-Bat’ha, him-saww and his-saww companions, and he-saww did not lodge in the houses. So when it was the day of Al-Tarwiyya (8th of Zil-Hijja), at the decline of the sun, he-saww ordered the people that they should wash and commence with the Hajj, and these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic which were Revealed unto His-azwj Prophet-saww [3:95] therefore follow the Religion of Ibrahim.

فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَصْحَابُهُ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ حَتَّى أَتَى مِنًى فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَ الْعَصْرَ وَ الْمَغْرِبَ وَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ وَ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ غَدَا وَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ وَ كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تُفِيضُ مِنَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ وَ هِيَ جَمْعٌ وَ يَمْنَعُونَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُفِيضُوا مِنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قُرَيْشٌ تَرْجُوا أَنْ تَكُونَ إِفَاضَتُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ كَانُوا يُفِيضُونَ

Prophet-saww and his-saww companions went out inclined with the Hajj until he-saww came to Mina. He-saww Prayed Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr, and Al-Magrib, and Al-Isha the last, and Al-Fajr. Then he-saww went in the morning, and the people were with him-saww. And the Qureysh used to hasten from Al-Muzdalifa, and it is Jam’a, and they were preventing people that they should be hastening from it. Rasool-Allah-saww came back, and Qureysh were hoping that his-saww hastening would be from where they were hastening from.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفاضَ النَّاسُ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ يَعْنِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِسْحَاقَ فِي إِفَاضَتِهِمْ مِنْهَا وَ مَنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنَّ قُبَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَدْ مَضَتْ كَأَنَّهُ دَخَلَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ شَيْ‏ءٌ لِلَّذِي كَانُوا يَرْجُونَ مِنَ الْإِفَاضَةِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِمْ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى نَمِرَةَ وَ هِيَ بَطْنُ عُرَنَةَ بِحِيَالِ الْأَرَاكِ فَضُرِبَتْ قُبَّتُهُ وَ ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ أَخْبِيَتَهُمْ عِنْدَهَا

But, Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed unto him-saww [2:199] Then hasten on from where the people hasten on and seek the Forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful, Meaning Ibrahim-as, and Ismail-as, and Is’haq-as during their-as hastening from it, and the ones who were after them-as. So when the Qureysh saw that the tent of Rasool-Allah-saww had passed, it was as if something had entered into their selves which they were hoping for from the hastening from their places, until they ended up to Namira, and it is middle of Urana around Al-Arak. So, he-saww struck his-saww tent, and the people pitched their tents by it.

فَلَمَّا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مَعَهُ قُرَيْشٌ وَ قَدِ اغْتَسَلَ وَ قَطَعَ التَّلْبِيَةَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ وَ نَهَاهُمْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَ الْعَصْرَ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ فَوَقَفَ بِهِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَخْفَافَ نَاقَتِهِ يَقِفُونَ إِلَى جَانِبِهَا فَنَحَّاهَا فَفَعَلُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَيْسَ مَوْضِعُ أَخْفَافِ نَاقَتِي بِالْمَوْقِفِ وَ لَكِنْ هَذَا كُلُّهُ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ فَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ

When the sun declined, Rasool-Allah-saww went out and with him-saww were the Qureysh, and he-saww had washed and cut-off the Talbiyya until he-saww paused by the Masjid. So he preached the people and ordered them and forbid them. Then he-saww Prayed Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr with one Azan and two Iqamas. Then he-saww went to the Pausing Station, so he-saww paused in it. Then people went on to crowd with their sandals by his-saww camel, pausing by his-saww side. So, he-saww forbid it, but they did similar to that. He-saww said: ‘O you people! The place of the sandals is not by my-saww camel with the Pausing, but all this’, and he-saww gestured by his-saww hand to the Pausing Station’. So the people dispersed.

وَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَوَقَفَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى وَقَعَ الْقُرْصُ قُرْصُ الشَّمْسِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ وَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالدَّعَةِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ وَ هُوَ الْمَشْعَرُ الْحَرَامُ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ

And he-saww did similar to that in Al Muzdalifa. So the people paused until the disc fell, the disc of the sun. Then he-saww departed and ordered the people with the gentleness until he-saww ended up to Al Muzdalifa, and it is the Sacred Ritual. So he-saww Prayed Al-Magrib, and Al-Isha the last, with one Azan and two Iqamas.

ثُمَّ أَقَامَ حَتَّى صَلَّى فِيهَا الْفَجْرَ وَ عَجَّلَ ضُعَفَاءَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ بِلَيْلٍ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَرْمُوا الْجَمْرَةَ جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَ لَهُ النَّهَارُ أَفَاضَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مِنًى فَرَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ

Then he-saww stayed until he-saww Prayed Al-Fajr therein, and urged the weak ones of the Clan of Hashim to leave at night and ordered them that they should not pelt the rock, the rock of Al-Aqaba, until the emergence of the sun. So when the day illuminated for him-saww, he-saww departed until he-saww ended up to Mina, so he-saww pelted the rock of Al-Aqaba.

وَ كَانَ الْهَدْيُ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَرْبَعَةً وَ سِتِّينَ أَوْ سِتَّةً وَ سِتِّينَ وَ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) بِأَرْبَعَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ سِتَّةٍ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ فَنَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سِتَّةً وَ سِتِّينَ وَ نَحَرَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) أَرْبَعَةً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ بَدَنَةً وَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَدَنَةٍ مِنْهَا جَذْوَةٌ مِنْ لَحْمٍ ثُمَّ تُطْرَحَ فِي بُرْمَةٍ ثُمَّ تُطْبَخَ

And the sacrificial animals which Rasool-Allah-saww came with were sixty-four to sixty-six, and Ali-asws came with thirty-four to thirty-six. So Rasool-Allah-saww sacrificed sixty-six, and Ali-asws sacrificed thirty-four camels. And Rasool-Allah-saww ordered a piece of flesh be taken from each camel sacrificed from it, then placed in a cooking pot, then cooked.

فَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ حَسَوَا مِنْ مَرَقِهَا وَ لَمْ يُعْطِيَا الْجَزَّارِينَ جُلُودَهَا وَ لَا جِلَالَهَا وَ لَا قَلَائِدَهَا وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَ حَلَقَ وَ زَارَ الْبَيْتَ وَ رَجَعَ إِلَى مِنًى وَ أَقَامَ بِهَا حَتَّى كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ مِنْ آخِرِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ

Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws ate and sipped from its soup, and did not give to the butchers, their skins, nor their decorations, nor their reins, but gave in charity with it. And he-saww shaved (his-saww head), and visited the House (Kabah), and returned to Mina and stayed in it until it was the third day from the last days of Al-Tashreek (11th, 12th, and 13th of Zilhajj).

ثُمَّ رَمَى الْجِمَارَ وَ نَفَرَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْأَبْطَحِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَرْجِعُ نِسَاؤُكَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ مَعاً وَ أَرْجِعُ بِحَجَّةٍ فَأَقَامَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ وَ بَعَثَ مَعَهَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَأَهَلَّتْ بِعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ وَ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ صَلَّتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ سَعَتْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

Then he-saww pelted the rocks and went until he-saww ended up to Al-Bat’ha. So Ayesha said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww are returning your-saww wives with Hajj and Umra together, and I should return (only) with Hajj?’ So he-saww stayed at Bat’ha and sent her with Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Bakr to al Al-Tan’eem. So she commenced with her Umra, then came over and circumambulated with the House, and Prayed two Cycles by the Standing Place of Ibrahim-as, and performed Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa. Then she came over to the Prophet-saww.

فَارْتَحَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَ لَمْ يَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ دَخَلَ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ مِنْ عَقَبَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ وَ خَرَجَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ ذِي طُوًى .

So, he-saww travelled from that day of his-saww and did not enter the Sacred Masjid and did not circumambulate with the House, and entered from the high ground of Makkah from Aqaba, of the two cities and went out from the lower ground of Makkah, from Zi-Tuwwa’.[2]

An additional Hadith on Farewell Hajj of Rasool Allah-saww is included in the Appendix.

Sermon of Rasool Allah-saww at Farewell Hajj:

الخصال الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ‏ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ مَكِّيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ‏ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّهُ الْوَدَاعُ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ الْعَضْبَاءَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُّ دَمٍ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهُوَ هَدَرٌ وَ أَوَّلُ دَمٍ هُدِرَ دَمُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ كَانَ مُسْتَرْضِعاً فِي هُذَيْلٍ‏ فَقَتَلَهُ‏ بَنُو اللَّيْثِ

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Al Hassan Bin Abdullah Bin Saeed Al Askari, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Kareem, from Ibn Awf, from Makky Bin Ibrahim, from Musa Bin Ubeyda, from Sadaqa Bin Yasaar, from Abdullah Bin Umar who said,

‘This Chapter: (When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1] (Surah Al-Nasr) was Revealed unto Rasool-Allah-saww in the middle of the days of Al-Tashreek (11th, 12th & 13th Zilhajj), and he-saww recognise that it is the farewell. He-saww rode his camel Al-Azba’a, praise Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! Every blood (compensation) which was during the pre-Islamic period, so it is forfeited, and the first blood to be forfeited, and the first blood to be forfeited was the blood of Al-Hais Bin Rabie Bin Al-Haris, satisfied regarding (clan of) Huzeyl. The sons of Al-Lays killed him’.

أَوْ قَالَ كَانَ مُسْتَرْضِعاً فِي بَنِي لَيْثٍ فَقَتَلَهُ هُذَيْلٌ وَ كُلُّ رِباً كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَمَوْضُوعٌ وَ أَوَّلُ رِباً وُضِعَ رِبَا الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ فَهُوَ الْيَوْمَ كَهَيْئَةِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ مِنْها أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ‏ رَجَبُ مُضَرٍ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَ ذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَ الْمُحْرَّمُ‏ فَلا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنْفُسَكُمْ‏

Or he-saww said, ‘Satisfied regarding (clan of Lays), and he was killed by (clan of) Huzeyl. And all interest (usury) which was (due) during the pre-Islamic period, so it is dropped, and the first interest to be dropped is the interest of Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib. O you people! The times have circled, so today is like the day Allah-azwj Created the skies and the earths: Surely, the number of months in the Presence of Allah is twelve months in the Book of Allah, the day He Created the skies and the earth – from these four are Sacred. [9:36] – Rajab is harmful between Jumadi and Shaban, and Zul Qadah, and Zul Hijjah, and Al-Muharram – therefore do not be unjust to yourselves regarding these, [9:36]

فَإِنَّ النَّسِي‏ءَ زِيادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُحِلُّونَهُ عاماً وَ يُحَرِّمُونَهُ عاماً لِيُواطِؤُا عِدَّةَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ كَانُوا يُحَرِّمُونَ الْمُحَرَّمَ عَاماً وَ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ‏ صَفَرَ وَ يُحَرِّمُونَ صَفَرَ عَاماً وَ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ الْمُحَرَّمَ

But rather, the postponement (of the Sacred months) increases in the Kufr, whereby those who were committing Kufr strayed. They were violating it a year and sanctifying it a year, in order to adjust the number which Allah Forbade, so they could permit what Allah had Prohibited. [9:37], and they used to sanctify Al-Muharram one year and de-sanctifying Safar, and sanctifying Safar for a year and de-sanctifying Al-Muharram.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ يَئِسَ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي بِلَادِكُمْ آخِرَ الْأَبَدِ وَ رَضِيَ مِنْكُمْ بِمُحَقَّرَاتِ‏ الْأَعْمَالِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَدِيعَةً فَلْيُؤَدِّهَا إِلَى مَنِ ائْتَمَنَهُ عَلَيْهَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ النِّسَاءَ عِنْدَكُمْ عَوَانٍ لَا يَمْلِكْنَ لِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ضَرّاً وَ لَا نَفْعاً أَخَذْتُمُوهُنَّ بِأَمَانَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَحْلَلْتُمْ فُرُوجَهُنَّ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ فَلَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ حَقٌّ وَ لَهُنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقٌّ

O you people! The Satan-la has despaired that another servant be worshipped in your city and is pleased from you with minor sins. O you people! One who had a deposit with him, then let him pay it back to the one who had entrusted it to him. O you people! The women with you are assistants. They neither control harm for themselves nor benefits. Take them in the Trust of Allah-azwj, and make their private parts Permissible by the Word of Allah-azwj, so there will be a right for you upon them, and for them upon you will be rights.

وَ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَنْ لَا يُوَاطِئُوا فُرُشَكُمْ وَ لَا يَعْصِينَكُمْ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ فَإِذَا فَعَلْنَ ذَلِكَ فَلَهُنَ‏ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَ كِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ‏ وَ لَا تَضْرِبُوهُنَّ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ

And from your rights upon them is that they will not refuse in your beds, nor disobey you in the good deeds. So, when they do that, then for them would be their sustenance and their clothing with reasonableness [2:233], and do not hit them. O you people! I-saww am leaving behind you all what if you were to take with it, you will never go astray – Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, so hold tightly to it.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قَالُوا يَوْمٌ حَرَامٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا قَالُوا شَهْرٌ حَرَامٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا قَالُوا بَلَدٌ حَرَامٌ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَ أَعْرَاضَكُمْ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ تَلْقَوْنَهُ أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغْ شَاهِدُكُمْ غَائِبَكُمْ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَ لَا أُمَّةَ بَعْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ‏.

O you people! Which day is this?’ They said, ‘A sacred say’. He-saww said: ‘O you people! So which month is this?’ They said, ‘A sacred month’. Then he-saww said: ‘O you people! Which city is this?’ They said, ‘A sacred city’. He said, ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited upon you your blood and your wealth and your honour like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this city of yours up to the day until you receive it. So, let your present ones deliver to your absent ones, there is neither any Prophet-saww after me-saww nor any community after you all’. Then he-saww raised his-saww hand until the whiteness of his-saww armpits was seen, then he-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Bear witness that I-saww have delivered’’.[3]

Appendix: A Hadith describing the Farewell Hajj of Rasool Allah-saww

الكافي عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ حَجَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ خَرَجَ فِي أَرْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّجَرَةَ فَصَلَّى بِهَا ثُمَّ قَادَ رَاحِلَتَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْبَيْدَاءَ فَأَحْرَمَ مِنْهَا وَ أَهَلَّ بِالْحَجِّ وَ سَاقَ مِائَةَ بَدَنَةٍ وَ أَحْرَمَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ بِالْحَجِّ لَا يَنْوُونَ عُمْرَةً وَ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا الْمُتْعَةُ حَتَّى إِذَا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَكَّةَ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ طَافَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad altogether, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww, when he-saww performed Hajj, the Hajj of Al-Islam, went out during where there remained four days from Zil-Qadah until he-saww came over to Al-Shajara. He-saww prayed by it, then sat upon his-saww ride until he-saww came to Al-Bayda. He-saww wore the Ihram from it, and commenced with the Hajj, and ushered one hundred camels. And the people, all of them, wore their Ihrams with the Hajj, not intending an Umra, nor knowing what the Mut’a (of Hajj) was, until when Rasool-Allah-saww set foot in Makkah, he-saww performed Tawaaf by the House, then the people performed Tawaaf along with him-saww.

ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ وَ اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْدَءُوا بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ فَأَتَى الصَّفَا فَبَدَأَ بِهَا ثُمَّ طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ سَبْعاً فَلَمَّا قَضَى طَوَافَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَامَ خَطِيباً

Then he-saww Prayed two Cycles by the Standing Place (of Ibrahim-as, and kissed the (Black) Stone, then said: ‘Begin with what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Began with’. He-saww came over to Al-Saffa and began with it. Then he-saww performed Tawaaf between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, seven (times). So when he-saww had completed his-saww Tawaaf at Al-Marwa, he-saww stood to address.

فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُحِلُّوا وَ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً وَ هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ فَأَحَلَّ النَّاسُ وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوْ كُنْتُ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ لَفَعَلْتُ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُحِلَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْهَدْيِ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‏ وَ لا تَحْلِقُوا رُؤُسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ‏ مَحِلَّهُ‏

He-saww ordered them that they should free (themselves from the Ihram), and make it to be an Umrah, and it is something which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Commanded with. So, the people freed (themselves from the Ihram), and Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Had I-saww faced from my-saww matters what I-saww managed, I-saww would have done the like of what I-saww am ordering you all for’, and he-saww did not have the leeway that he-saww frees (from his-saww Ihram) due to the reason of the sacrificial animal which were with him-saww. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its place [2:196].

فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنَا كَأَنَّا خُلِقْنَا الْيَوْمَ أَ رَأَيْتَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَوْ لِكُلِّ عَامٍ‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ الْأَبَدِ وَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَامَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَخْرُجُ حُجَّاجاً وَ رُءُوسُنَا تَقْطُرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِهَذَا أَبَداً

Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Ju’sham said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Teach us as if we were Created today. What is your-saww view of this which you-saww are ordering us with. Is it for this year of ours, or for every year?’ Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘No, but it is forever and ever’. And a man stood up, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We came out as Pilgrims and our heads are dripping’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘You will never believe in this, ever!’

قَالَ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنَ الْيَمَنِ حَتَّى وَافَى الْحَجَّ فَوَجَدَ فَاطِمَةَ ع قَدْ أَحَلَّتْ وَ وَجَدَ رِيحَ الطِّيبِ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مُسْتَفْتِياً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَلِيُّ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَهْلَلْتَ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ لَا تُحِلَّ أَنْتَ فَأَشْرَكَهُ فِي الْهَدْيِ وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ سَبْعاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ نَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثاً وَ سِتِّينَ وَ نَحَرَهَا بِيَدِهِ

He-asws said: ‘And Ali-asws came back from Al-Yemen until fulfilled the Hajj. So he-asws found Syeda Fatima-asws having had freed (from wearing the Ihram), and found aromatic fragrance. He-asws went to Rasool-Allah-saww to follow up. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! With which thing have you-asws welcomed (the Hajj)?’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws welcomed with the welcoming of the Prophet-saww’. He-saww said: ‘Do not free (from the Ihram), for you-asws are a participant in the sacrifice’, and he-saww made thirty-seven to be for him-asws, and Rasool-Allah-saww sacrificed sixty-three, which he-saww sacrificed with his-saww own hands.

ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَدَنَةٍ بَضْعَةً فَجَعَلَهَا فِي قِدْرٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَطُبِخَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ وَ حَسَا مِنَ الْمَرَقِ وَ قَالَ قَدْ أَكَلْنَا مِنْهَا الْآنَ جَمِيعاً وَ الْمُتْعَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَارِنِ السَّائِقِ وَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَاجِّ الْمُفْرِدِ

Then he-saww grabbed a piece from each camel to be in one pot. Then he-saww ordered with it, so it was cooked. He-saww ate from it and sipped from the soup, and said: ‘We-saww have eaten from it now together, and the Mut’a (of the Hajj) is better than pairing the usherer, and better than the individual Hajj’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ لَيْلًا أَحْرَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمْ نَهَاراً فَقَالَ نَهَاراً قُلْتُ أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ قَالَ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him-asws, ‘Did Rasool-Allah-saww wear the Ihram at night or at daytime?’ He-asws said: ‘Daytime’. I said, ‘Which time?’ He-asws said: ‘Al-Zohr Salat’’.[4]
