The 11, 12 and 13th of the Month of Zilhajj
أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُوداتٍ قَالَ هِيَ أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ كَانُوا إِذَا أَقَامُوا بِمِنًى بَعْدَ النَّحْرِ تَفَاخَرُوا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ كَانَ أَبِي يَفْعَلُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ فَإِذا أَفَضْتُمْ مِنْ عَرَفاتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ آباءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْراً
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Hazim,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [2:203] And mention Allah during the numbered days. He-asws said: ‘These are the days of Al-Tashreek (11th, 12th & 13th Zilhajj). It was so that whenever they (the people) stayed in Mina after the sacrifice, used to pride (over others). So the man among them would say, ‘My father used to do such and such’. So Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Praise, Said (When you have departed from Arafaat) [2:200] then mention Allah as you mentioned your forefathers, rather with a greater mention.
قَالَ وَ التَّكْبِيرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ
He-asws said: ‘And the exclamation of the Takbeer is – ‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description)! Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description)! There is no god except for Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description). Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description). And for Allah-azwj is the Praise. Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description) upon what Allah-azwj having Guided us. Allah-azwj is the Greatest (beyond description) upon having Graced us over the animals, the cattle’.[1]
أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ بَعْضَ مَنْ مَعَنَا مِنْ صَرُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ قَدِ اعْتَلَلْنَ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ تَنْتَظِرُ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَإِنْ طَهُرَتْ فَلْتُهِلَّ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا تَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْهَا التَّرْوِيَةُ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ مُحْرِمَةٌ
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said,
‘I sent a message to Abu Abdullah-asws that one of us, from the women first timers has fallen ill, so what should she do? So he-asws said: ‘She would wait what is between her and the (day of the Tarwiyya (8th Zilhajj). So if she becomes pure, so let her begin, or else the (day of the) Tarwiyya should not enter upon her except if she is in Ihraam’’.[2]
