Narrated ‘Aaishah (raa): I was menstruating when I reached Makkah; thus, I neither performed Tawaaf round the Ka`bah nor the Tawaaf between al-Safaa and al-Marwah. I informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it, and he replied, "Perform all the rites of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaaf round the Ka`bah till you get clean (from your menses)."
.

Commentary : The Prophet ﷺexplained the rulings pertaining to Hajj and ‘Umrah in words and action. The Companions (ras) transmitted all that to us, including the rulings related to women like menses.
In this hadeeth, ‘Aaishah (raa), the Mother of the Believers, reports that she was menstruating during the Farewell Hajj, which occurred in the 10th year of Hijrah. For that reason, she refrained from performing Tawaaf round the Ka’bah and between al-Safaa and al-Marwah and did not perform ‘Umrah or Hajj just like the rest of people. She raised her issue to the Prophet ﷺwho ordered her to perform all the rites of Hajj like the other pilgrims, like standing on the mountain of ‘Arafaat, Muzdalifah and spending the night in Minaa) and to refrain from performing Tawaaf round the Ka`bah till she gets clean from your menses.
According to a narration in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim, she (raa) said after completing Hajj, “O Messenger of Allah! All of you are returning with the Hajj and `Umrah, but I am returning after performing Hajj only." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Abd al-Rahmaan bin Aboo Bakr (ra) to accompany her to Tan’eem and thus she performed the `Umrah after the Hajj.
From the benefits that can be concluded from this hadeeth is learning about how Islam eases the rulings of Hajj for menstruating women and allowing her to delay the Tawaaf until she becomes clean..

Narrated Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (ra): The Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions assumed Ihraam for Hajj and none except the Prophet ﷺand Talhah had the Hady (sacrificial animal) with them. `Alee arrived from Yemen and had his Hady with him. `Alee said, "I have assumed Ihraam for what the Prophet (ﷺ) has done." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his Companions to perform the `Umrah with the lhraam which they had assumed, and after finishing Tawaaf (of Ka`bah, al-Safaa and al-Marwah) to cut short their hair, and to finish their lhraam except those who had Hady with them. They (the people) said, "How can we proceed to Minaa (for Hajj) after having sexual relations with our wives?" When that news reached the Prophet (ﷺ), he said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hady with me. Had there been no Hady with me, I would have finished the state of lhraam." `Aaishah (raa) got her menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except Tawaaf of the Ka`bah, and when she got clean (from her menses), she performed Tawaaf of the Ka`bah. She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umrah, but I am returning after performing Hajj only." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Abd al-Rahmaan bin Aboo Bakr (ra) to accompany her to Tan`eem and thus she performed the `Umrah after the Hajj..

Commentary : There are three ways for performing Hajj: (1) Tamattu’: It is when the pilgrim enters the state of Ihraam with the intention to perform ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj, namely Shawwaal, Dhu al-Qa’dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. And after completing the ‘Umrah, he exits his Ihraam and then enters the Ihraam again in the same year to perform Hajj. (2) Al-Qiraan: It is when the pilgrim enters the Ihraam with the intention to perform both ‘Umrah and Hajj together. (3) Al-Ifraad: It is when the pilgrim enters the Ihraam with the intention to perform Hajj only.
In this hadeeth, Jaabir ib ‘Abdullah (ra) reports that the Prophet ﷺand his Companions assumed Ihraam for Hajj in the Farewell Hajj, which was in the 10th year of Hijrah. None of them had Hady with him except the Prophet ﷺand Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillah (ra). The Hady is the name of the animals that pilgrims bring along with them to slaughter in the Haram as sacrificial animals, which include camels, cows, sheep and goats.
At that time, ‘Alee ibn Abee Taalib (ra) was in Yemen because the Prophet ﷺsent him to serve there as a judge and to collect the zakat. So, he travelled to Makkah to perform Hajj with the Prophet ﷺ, and he brought with him Hady. He (ra) assumed Ihraam on his way to Makkah so the Prophet ﷺasked him about the intention of his Ihraam. His answer was that he assumed Ihraam with an intention as that of the Prophet ﷺ. It happened that the Prophet ﷺwas one of the pilgrims who had Hady with them; thus, he entered the Ihraam with the intention to perform ‘Umrah and Hajj together. The Prophet ﷺordered those who did not bring along Hady with them to exit Ihraam after completing the ‘Umrah and enter a new Ihraam for Hajj on the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah.
This made some of the Companions (ras) feel uneasy that they exit Ihraam while the Prophet ﷺkeep his Ihraam, and they wondered how it is possible to exit Ihraam and then assume Ihraam for Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah! Upon knowing this, the Prophet ﷺsaid to them: “Had there been no Hady with me, I would have finished the state of lhraam” i.e., If I came to know about this from the beginning, I would have not brought with me the Hady so I could exit Ihraam after ‘Umrah and then enter a new Ihraam for Hajj. By this, the Prophet ﷺexplained to them that if he did not have the Hady, he would have done the same.
Upon entering Makkah, ‘Aaishah (raa) menstruated, and so she followed the instructions of the Prophet ﷺto perform the rites of Hajj except the Tawaaf round the Ka’bah. And after she became clean from menses, she performed Tawaaf round the Ka’bah. However, as the Muslims are preparing to depart Makkah, she said to the Prophet ﷺ: “(All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umrah, but I am returning after performing Hajj only” So, the Prophet ﷺordered her brother, `Abd al-Rahmaan bin Aboo Bakr (ra), to accompany her to Tan`eem, which is situated about 6 km from Makkah and the closest point to enter Ihraam for those who are in Makkah – although people may enter Ihraam from any of the designated places.
This hadeeth highlights the permissibility of performing ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj.
From the benefits that can be concluded from this hadeeth is learning about how Islam eases the rulings of Hajj for menstruating women and allowing her to delay the Tawaaf until she becomes clean. And it shows the mercy and compassion of the Prophet ﷺtowards women and his kind treatment with them.
The hadeeth shows that if a person is in Makkah and wants to enter Ihraam, he should go to the point of Ihraam outside Makkah and enter Ihraam for ‘Umrah from there.
It also shows that a woman may not travel except with one of her Mahram men..

Narrated Hafsah: 'We used to forbid the ‘Awaatiq (young women) to go out for the two `Eid prayers. A woman came and stayed at the palace of Banee Khalaf, and she narrated about her sister whose husband took part in twelve battles along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and her sister was with her husband in six (out of these twelve). She (the woman's sister) said, "We used to treat the wounded, look after the patients and once I asked the Prophet (ﷺ), 'Is there any harm for any of us to stay at home if she does not have a veil?' He said, 'She should cover herself with the veil of her female companion and should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gathering of the Muslims.' When Umm `Atiyyah (raa) came, I asked her whether she had heard it from the Prophet (ﷺ). She replied, "Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him (the Prophet)! (Whenever she mentioned the Prophet (ﷺ) she used to say, 'May my father be sacrificed for him) I have heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The ‘Awaatiq and the girls who stay often screened or the ‘Awaatiq who often stay screened and the menstruating women should come out and participate in the good deeds as well as the religious gathering of the believers but the menstruating women should keep away from the Musallaa (praying place).' " Hafsah (raa) asked Umm `Atiyyah surprisingly, "Do you say the menstruating women?" She replied, "Does not a menstruating woman attend `Arafaat (Hajj) and such and such (other deeds)?".

Commentary : Islam has honoured women and made them a natural partner to men. It has defined their rights and responsibilities, and the rulings pertaining to them like menses, post-partum blooding, seclusion with the opposite gender, attending public gatherings, and so on.
In this hadeeth, Hafsah bintSeereen mentions that they used to forbid young women from attending the two ‘Eid prayers. The Arabic word used in the narration to describe the young women is ‘Awaatiq (lit. freed). It means females who have just reached puberty but are not yet married and still live at their family’s house. The relevance of the name to their condition is that at such age she can depend on herself, and her parent no longer needs to serve her and fulfil her needs outside the house. Another possible meaning is that it refers to the young girl that is so loved by her parents. Hafsah further says that a woman came to al-Basrah and stayed at the palace of Banee Khalaf, the grandfather of Talhah al-Talhaat, and she narrated about her sister (i.e., Umm Atiyyah) whose husband took part in twelve battles along with the Prophet (ﷺ), and her sister was with her husband in six out of these twelve. Then she mentioned that her sister said that they used to treat the wounded, look after the patients. And one time, she asked the Prophet ﷺif it is sinful for a woman to stay at home, and does not attend these gatherings, because she does not have a veil to wear when she goes out. The Prophet ﷺtold her that in this case, she should borrow a veil from her friend to cover herself and participate in the good deeds and in the religious gathering of the Muslims like the ‘Eid prayer.
Hafsah then mentioned that people inquired from Umm ‘Atiyyah (raa) about the hadeeth she related so she confirmed that she heard it directly from the Prophet ﷺand said: “May my father be sacrificed for him” and added that he ﷺstated that let out the ‘Awaatiq (plural of ‘Aatiq) which is the young girl who reached puberty or is about to reach puberty or in an age suitable for marriage or the one who is highly valued by her parents or who is freed from fulfilling the needs of the family outside the house. It appears that they used to forbid these young girls from leaving the house because of the corruption that was present at their time. The Companions (ras) however held the view that the ruling that was practised during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺshould not change despite all that.
The Prophet ﷺordered that even unmarried virgin girls who stay in the house far from the eyes of people should go out to attend the ‘Eid prayer. The order to attend the religious gatherings of Muslims included menstruating women, but they have to keep away from the place where the ‘Eid prayer is established. Upon hearing this, Umm ‘Atiyyah was surprised that menstruating women should attend too! The Prophet ﷺexplained to her that she can and reminded that menstruating women attend ‘Arafaat and the other rites of Hajj.
From the benefits that can be concluded from this hadeeth is learning that menstruating women can attend all the rites of Hajj except Tawaaf.
The hadeeth shows that woman can treat the wounded, look after the patients in times of war.
It shows us that the Companions (ras) used to correct the misconceptions and mistakes of the Taab’ieen..

1653

Narrated ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Rufay’: I asked Anas ibn Maalik (ra), "Tell me what you remember from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (regarding these questions): Where did he offer the Thuhr and `Asr prayers on the day of Tarwiyah (8th day of Dhoo al- Hijjah)?" He replied: "He (ﷺ) offered these prayers at Minaa." I asked, "Where did he offer the `Asr prayer on the day of Nafr (i.e., departure from Mina on the 12th or 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah)?" He replied, "At Al- Abtah," and then added, "You should do as your chiefs do.".

Commentary : Hajj is an act of worship that cannot be sanctioned except on the basis of textual evidence from the Quran or the Sunnah to that effect. The Prophet ﷺclarified the rulings pertaining to Hajj and explained that which is allowed and that which is not, and which actions can be delayed or in advance, and what can be open and flexible. The Companions (ras) transmitted all that to the next generation who in their turn transmitted to the people after them and so on. They even offered advice to people about what to do when some rulers make changes to the time and place of certain actions, which are considered flexible in such sense.
In this hadeeth, the Taabi’ee ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Rufay’ reports that he asked Anas ibn Maalik (ra) to narrate to him from the Prophet ﷺsomething he understood and comprehended. He asked him about the place where the Prophet ﷺprayed Thuhr and ‘Asr on the 8th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, a.k.a. the Day of Tarwiyah which is named as such because pilgrims drink and take their water supplied on that day preparing for standing at ‘Arafah. Anas ibn Maalik (ra) replied that he ﷺoffered the prayers in Minaa, which is a valley surrounded by mountains, located in the east of Makkah between Makkah and ‘Arafah and is about 6 km from the Sacred Mosque. It is the place where the rite of throwing the stones in Hajj.
Then, he asked about the place where the Prophet ﷺprayed in the Day of Nafr, which is the day on which pilgrims return from Minaa to Makkah, which happens on the 3rd day of Tashreed. Anas ibn Maalik (ra) replied that he prayed in al-Abtah, alias al-Muhassib, a place that is known for its small pebbles, and is originally the valley of Makkah, in the south of the Haram, in front of the mountain of Thawr, which is a part of Minaa.
Then, Anas ibn Maalik (ra) ordered him to do like his rulers do and pray where they pray, which indicates that the rulers at that time did not pray Thuhr at a particular place and that it is an open matter so people can pray where they like and leave whenever they want. This also indicates that what he (ra) reported from the Prophet ﷺis not considered one of the rites of Hajj that pilgrims are obliged to do, and it is said that it is one of the rites.
The reason he (ra) ordered him not to oppose the rulers in order to avoid division and possible corruption..

1654

Narrated ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Rufay’: I went to Minaa on the Day of Tarwiyah, so I met Anas ibn Maalik (ra) mounting his donkey. I asked him about the place where the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Thuhr on this day. He said, look where your rulers pray and pray there for it is better..

Commentary : The Hajj is an act of worship that cannot be sanctioned except on the basis of textual evidence from the Quran or the Sunnah to that effect. The Prophet ﷺclarified the rulings pertaining to Hajj and explained that which is allowed and that which is not, and which actions can be delayed or in advance, and what can be open and flexible. The Companions (ras) transmitted all that to the next generation who in their turn transmitted to the people after them and so on. They even offered advice to people about what to do when some rulers make changes to the time and place of certain actions, which are considered flexible in such sense.
In this hadeeth, the Taabi’ee ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Rufay’ reports that he went to Minaa on the Day of Tarwiyah, which is the 8th of Thoo al-Hijjah. On his way to Minaa, he met Anas ibn Maalik (ra) riding his donkey and heading also to Minaa. He asked him about the place where the Prophet ﷺprayed on the 8th of Thoo al-Hijjah, so he answered him that he should pray where his rulers pray. His statement was to show that it is permissible to pray it anywhere and that it is an open matter so people can pray in any place that is more convenient to them. While it is better and more recommended to pray where the Prophet ﷺoffered the Thuhr and ‘Asr prayers, but he (ra) wanted to show that it is not obligatory..

1655

Narrated ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (ra): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered a two-units prayer at Minaa. Abu Bakr, `Umar, and `Uthmaan (ras), (during the early years of his caliphate) followed the same practice..

1656

Narrated Haaritha ibn Wahb al-Khuzaa’ee (ra): The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in a two-units prayer at Minaa, although our number was more than ever and we were in better security than ever..

1657

Narrated ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (ra): I offered two units’ prayer with the Prophet ﷺ (at Minaa), and similarly with Aboo Bakr and with `Umar (ras), and then you differed in opinions. I wish that I would be lucky enough to have two of the four units accepted (by Allah)..

Commentary : The Hajj has its own rulings and some of which are so unique that it gives pilgrims concessions in certain acts of worship like shortening the prayer, and it lifts hardship by allowing certain rites to be shifted to perform them before other rites, and so on.
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood (ra) reports that he was with the Prophet ﷺin the Farewell Hajj and that he prayed behind him in Minaa the four-units prayers, namely Thuhr, ‘Asr, and ‘Ishaa. He (ra) adds that he ﷺshortened them and offered each one of them as a two units prayer. Minaa is a valley surrounded by mountains, located in the east of Makkah on the road between Makkah and Mount of ‘Arafah, about 6 km away from the Sacred Mosque, and it is the site where the rite of throwing stones is performed. He continued to explain that he prayed behind Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (ras) and they did the same i.e., they shortened the four-units prayers.
His statement: "Then you differed in opinions" refers to what ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Afaan (ra) did in the second half of his ruling, when he stopped shortening the four-units prayers in Minaa.
It is said that ‘Uthmaan (ra) opted for offering the four-units prayers without shortening them because he decided to live in the Taaif. By this, he considered him a resident hence cannot benefit from the concession of shortening prayers as he held the view that the concession of shortening prayers in Minaa is only for the travelling pilgrims. It is also said that he did not take the concession and insisted on offering the four units prayers without shortening them for the public good i.e., at that time he noticed that the number of Muslims had dramatically increased after the large groups of people entering Islam and many of the pilgrims were new Muslims who did not know well the rulings and laws of Islam. He feared that the ignorant ones among them would think that the four units prayers consist of two units.
As for the statement of Ibn Mas’ood (ra) said: "Wish that I would be lucky enough to have two of the four units accepted (by Allah)", it is intended to mean that ‘Uthmaan (ra) should have shortened the prayer and followed the way of Aboo Bakr and ‘Umar (ras) because it agrees with the practice of the Prophet ﷺ. While Ibn Mas’ood, (ra) held the view that it is better to shorten the prayer, he held the view that it is permissible not offer the four units prayer without shortening it in Minaa. This is evident because he prayed behind ‘Uthmaan (ras) and if he held the view that shortening the prayer is obligatory, he would have refused to offer the four units prayer behind ‘Uthaman without shortening it.
From the benefits that can be concluded from this hadeeth is learning about the eagerness and insistence of the Companions (ras) to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
This hadeeth shows that little work that corresponds to the Sunnah is more likely to be accepted. .

1684

Narrated 'Amr ibn Maymoon: I saw `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) offering the Fajr prayer at Jam'; then he got up and said, "The polytheists did not use to depart (from Jam') till the sun had risen, and they used to say, 'Let the sun to shine on Thabeer (a mountain).' However, the Prophet ﷺ contradicted them and departed from Jam' before sunrise."
.

Commentary : Opposing the polytheists is a religious requirement, which the Prophet ﷺused to emphasize and encourage. All the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) followed his guidance concerning that.
In this hadeeth, the Taabi'ee, 'Amr ibn Maymoon, reports that he witnessed 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was in Hajj offering the Fajr prayer at al-Muzdalifah. Al-Muzdalifah is the name for a place where the pilgrims encamp for the night after departing from 'Arafaat and spend the night of the tenth of Thoo al-Hijjah there. The site contains the al-Mash'ar al-Haraam, and it is about 12 km away from 'Arafah and is next to the monument of Minaa. Al-Muzdalifah is also known as Jam' (combining) because two prayers, Maghrib and 'Ishaa, are combined therein. It is said that it has been given that name due to the action of its [temporary] residents because they congregate therein and they "Yazdalifoon" (get closer) to their Lord; meaning, they draw closer to Him by remaining therein [for His sake]. It was also said that the reason to name it as thus was something else.
Then, 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) clarified to the people that the polytheists did not use to march out of al-Muzalifah to Minaa until the sunrise and they would utter, "Brighten up, Thabeer!" Thabeer is a mountain in al-Muzdalifah toward the left of the path going to Minaa and towards the right path going to 'Arafaat. The meaning of this utterance: Let the sun rise upon you, O Thabeer! So that we can pour out from Muzdalifah to Minaa. Thus, the Prophet ﷺopposed them concerning this practice and he departed from 'Arafaat when the morning had tuned golden and the daylight had appeared, however, before the sunrise.
This hadeeth denotes the time to move out of Muzdalifah and march on to Minaa which is during the golden hour of the morning [before the sunrise]..

1685

Narrated Ibn' Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet ﷺ made Al-Fadl ride behind him, and Al-Fadl informed that he ﷺ kept on reciting Talbiyah till he did the rite of throwing of the pebbles.
.

Commentary : Reciting the 'Talbiyah' is among the manifested rites of Hajj, which should be pronounced loudly as a demonstration of such a significant rite. It contains the announcement of Tawheed being reserved for Allah Only, the Mighty and Majestic. And when a Muslim recites it, then the plants and unanimated objects would recite it along with him.
In this hadeeth, 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet ﷺmade al-Fadl ibn al-‘Abbaas ride behind him on the same animal. This happened after he had offered the Fajr prayer at Muzdalifah on the morning of the Day of Sacrifice (The Day of Nahr), the tenth day of Thoo al-Hijjah. He remained there until the morning turned golden, before the sunrise, then he mounted his ride heading towards Minaa. Al-Fadl ibn al-‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that the Messenger ﷺkept on reciting Labbayka until he performed the stoning rite of Jamarah al-‘Aqabah, this is a big stone pillar in the western side of Minaa adjacent to Makkah. The wording of the Talbiyah is: Labbayka, Allahumma Labbayka. Labbayka Laa Shareeka Laka Labbayka. Innal Hamda wan Ni’matah Laka wal Mulk. Laa Shareek Lak. [At Your service, O Allah, I am at Your service. I am at Your service, You have no partner, I am at Your service. Verily, all praises and bounties belong to You and also the dominion, You have no partner]. The pronouncement of the Talbiyah starts from the time of adorning [and making intention of] the Ihraam.
This hadeeth demonstrates the humbleness of the Prophet ﷺ and shows that it is permissible for two people to mount an animal at the same time if it is able to take that load..

1688

Narrated Aboo Jamrah: I asked Ibn `Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) about Hajj-at-Tamattu`. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hady (sacrificial animal of pilgrims). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hady with the others." It seemed that some people disliked it (Hajj-at-Tamattu`). I slept and dreamt as if a person was announcing: "Hajj Mabroor and accepted Mut'ah (Hajj-at-Tamattu`)." I went to Ibn `Abbaas and narrated it to him. He said, "Allah is Greater. (That was) the tradition of Aboo Al-Qaasim (i.e.the Prophetﷺ).
According to another narration the call in the dream was. "An accepted `Umrah and Hajj-Mabroor."
.

1689

Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah's Messenger ﷺ saw a man driving his Badanah (sacrificial camel). He said, "Ride on it." The man said, "It is a Badanah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badanah." The Prophet said, "Ride on it." Furthermore, on the second or the third time he (the Prophet ﷺ ) added, "Woe to you."
.

Commentary : Allah Almighty sent His Prophet, Muhammad ﷺas a mercy for the world and made adherence to his commands and refraining from all that which he prohibited a means of salvation in this world and the hereafter. His method was to make the acts of worship and people's lives easy to handle.
In this hadeeth, Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah ﷺsaw a man walking on his feet and he was driving a "badanah" which he took to the Sacred House in order to sacrifice and get closer thereby to Allah. A Badanah is an animal, especially from the camels. It was said: "Budun" [plural of badanah] can be used for both the camels and cows. The Messenger of Allah ﷺordered him to ride it so he can rest from the tiredness he got from the hardship of walking. The man informed him that the animal was a badanah that he had driven to the Ka'bah and to express that he should not ride it. However, the Prophet ﷺtold him the second or the third time, "Ride on it, woe unto you! The real meaning of the Arabic word Wayl (lit. Woe] severe punishment; however, that is not what is meant here. The Prophet ﷺintended to be verbally harsh on him so that he rides it.
This hadeeth shows that it is permissible to ride the Hady, and it encourages us to hasten to uphold the commandments of Allah and His Messenger, and it contains a reprimand and rebuke against the one who does not hasten towards adhering them..

1691

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): During the last Hajj of Allah's Messenger ﷺ, he performed `Umrah and Hajj together in one Ihraam [Hajj al-Tamattu']. He ﷺdrove his Hady along with him from Thoo al-Hulayfah. Allah's Messenger ﷺ started by assuming Ihraam for `Umrah and then for Hajj. And the people, too, performed the `Umrah and then Hajj along with the Prophet ﷺ. Some of them brought the Hady and drove it along with them, while the others did not. So, when the Prophet ﷺ arrived at Makkah, he said to the people, "Whoever among you has driven the Hady, should not finish his Ihraam till he completes his Hajj. And whoever among you has not (driven) the Hady with him, should perform Tawaaf of the Ka'bah and the Tawaaf between Al-Safaa and Al-Marwah, then cut short his hair and finish his Ihraam. And he should later assume Ihraam for Hajj, but he must offer a Hady (sacrifice); if anyone cannot afford a Hady, he should fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when he returns home. The Prophet ﷺ performed Tawaaf of the Ka'bah on his arrival (at Makkah); he touched the (Black Stone) corner first of all, and then walked with a high pace during the first three rounds of Tawaaf around the Ka'bah, and during the last four rounds, he walked with normal pace. After finishing Tawaaf around the Ka'bah, he offered a two units prayer at the Maqaam of Ibraaheem, and after finishing the prayer he went to Al-Safaa and Al-Marwah and walked seven rounds between them and did not do any deed forbidden because of Ihraam, till he finished all the ceremonies of his Hajj and sacrificed his Hady on the Day of Nahr (10th day of Thoo al-Hijjah). He then hastened onwards (to Makkah) and performed Tawaaf of the Ka'bah and then everything that was forbidden because of Ihraam became permissible. Those who took and drove the Hady with them did the same as Allah's Messenger ﷺ.
Narrated 'Urwah: 'Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told him that the Prophet ﷺ did Hajj al-Tamattu' and so did the people who were with him too, just like the narration that Saalim reported from Ibn' Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet ﷺ.
.

Commentary : The Hajj is the fifth pillar among the pillars of Islam, and the Prophet ﷺhas explained all the rites and rituals of Hajj both verbally and practically. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us as they learned them from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) relates a part of the guidance of the Prophet ﷺin the Farewell Hajj, which happened in the tenth year of the Hijrah. He explains that the Messenger of Allah ﷺperformed Hajj al-Tamattu' during the Farewell Hajj by incorporating the 'Umrah into the Hajj, while it is well known that the Messenger of Allah ﷺperformed Hajj al-Qiraan, that is, that he combined the Hajj and 'Umrah within one Ihraam. Thus, based on that, the word Tamattu' used here is the linguistic meaning of Tamattu'. The meaning of it is that the Prophet ﷺinitially entered the Ihraam for Hajj only but afterwards, he intended to perform 'Umrah too; thus, he ﷺbecame the performer of the Qiraan-type of Hajj. The Qiraan in this case entails the linguistic meaning of Tamattu' (i.e. enjoying benefit) and the technical meaning in religion because he is incorporating 'Umrah into the actions of Hajj in the sense that he enjoyed the unison of the Meeqaat [the boundary from which the Ihraam is adorned for pilgrimage], Ihraam and rituals. This explicitly indicates that the Prophet ﷺwas a Qaarin and that the meaning of Tamattu' in this context is Qiraan. The proof on this is his statement: "Anyone among you who has driven the sacrificial animal, then he is not allowed to do anything that has been prohibited for him [due to being in the state of Ihraam] until he completes his Hajj,". He ﷺsaid it while he ﷺwas among those who had driven the sacrificial animals to the Haram of Makkah.
Ibn' Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Prophet ﷺdrove with him the Hady – a name given to the animal that is presented and sacrificed at the Haram of Makkah among the camels, cows, sheep and goats – from Thoo al-Hulayfah. Altogether, there were sixty-four sacrificial animals. Thoo al-Hulayfah is the boundary [Meeqaat] of the people of Al-Madeenah and also those outsiders who are in transit therefrom. Now, the place is known as Aabaar' Alee, a well-known location right at the onset of the road of Al-Madeenah that takes one to Makkah. The distance between it and Al-Madeenah is about 13 km and between it and Makkah is approximately 408 km, and it is the farthest of all the boundaries from Makkah.
The statement of Ibn' Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Allah’s Messenger ﷺ started by assuming Ihraam for `Umrah and then for Hajj” is understood to mean reciting Talbiyah during the Ihraam. It is reported on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “Labbayka for the ‘Umrah and Hajj.” [Saheeh Muslim]. This however does not mean that he assumed the Ihraam for ‘Umrah first, then he entered the Ihraam for ‘Umrah later.
His statement, “And the people, too, performed the `Umrah and then Hajj along with the Prophet ﷺ” means, later on, many or most of them had assumed the state of Ihraam for Hajj only at first, then they changed that intention by intending the ‘Umrah instead and then assumed Ihraam separately for Hajj. These people were the pilgrims who did not drive Hady along with them.
Hence, when the Prophet ﷺentered Makkah, he ﷺproclaimed to the people that whoever among them has driven the sacrificial animal with him, then he cannot enjoy any part of what is prohibited for him among the sanctions of Ihraam, thus, he remains in his full Ihraam until he completes his Hajj. That is due to the Statement of Allah, {Do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its destination of slaughter.} [Al-Baqarah, 2:196]. As for those who have not driven the sacrificial animal, they need to perform Tawaaf as part of the rites of the ‘Umrah and perform the ritual walking between the Safaa and al-Marwah and then cut their hair short to exit from the Ihraam thereby. Thereupon, it will be permissible for them to do whatever was previously prohibited in the state of Ihraam, such as using fragrances, wearing normal clothes [for men], intimately approaching wives, hunting and so on. The Prophet ﷺordered them to shorten their hair rather than to shave it all off, whereas, shaving the head is better, so that some hair is left to shave it all off when exiting their Ihraam for the Hajj.
The Prophet’s statement, “and should later assume Ihraam for Hajj” means that they should assume Ihraam for Hajj on the Day of Quenching Thirst on the eighth day of Thoo al-Hijjah. It does not mean that they should assume Ihraam for Hajj straight after exiting the Ihraam of ‘Umrah.
As for the one who does not find a sacrificial animal, or its value or its value has increased above the value of the similar animal or that its owner does not want to sell it, then in that instance, let him fast for three days in the Hajj after assuming its Ihraam and for seven days after returning to his family in his city or to the place where he resides.
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Messenger of Allah ﷺperformed the Tawaaf when he came to Makkah, known as the Circumambulation of Arrival (Tawaaf al-Qudoom) and performed the Istilaam of the Rukn right in the beginning, that is, the Black Stone. Istilaam means to touch the stone and kiss it. That happened straight as he arrived before doing anything else. Then, he ﷺwalked fast and hastened in the first three rounds and walked normally in the last four rounds of Tawaaf. After completing the Tawaaf, he ﷺoffered a two-units prayer at the standing place (Maqaam) of Ibraaheem (peace be upon him). After completing the prayer, he moved from his place and headed to perform the ritual walking between the Safaa and al-Marwah seven times, starting his first circuit from the Safaa and finishing at the Marwah. The second circuit is the opposite of the first one, which goes from the Marwah to the Safaa. The third circuit is like the first one, and thus until the circuit is complete during the seventh circuit.
The Prophet ﷺremained in the state of Ihraam until he completed his Hajj. He sacrificed the animal on the day of ‘Eid, and he performed the Tawaaf of Ifaadah, that is because he drove the sacrificial animal with him; otherwise, he ﷺwould have exited from the Ihraam of ‘Umrah just as he ordered his Companions to do. Everyone who drove their sacrificial animals did exactly as the Prophet ﷺdid, i.e. they did not temporarily cancel their Ihraam of Hajj by completing the ‘Umrah and then wait to Hajj time. As a result, the Prophet ﷺalongside some other people performed Qiraan, while the other group performed Tamattu’ instead.
One of the benefits of this hadeeth as well is that it reveals the legality of performing Hajj in the forms of either Qiraan or Tamattu’ and intending Tamattu’ for the one who has performed Hajj in the Qiraan form or Ifraad form.
It also reveals the legality of walking fast in the three first circuits of the Tawaaf aaround the Ka’bah..

Narrated al-Maysoor ibn Makhramah and Marwaan: The Prophet ﷺ set out from Al-Madeenah with over one thousand of his Companions (at the time of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah) and when they reached Thoo al-Hulayfah, the Prophet ﷺ garlanded his Hady and marked it and assumed Ihraam for `Umrah.
.

Commentary : The Prophet ﷺexplained the rulings pertaining to Hajj and ‘Umrah and their recommended acts and etiquettes both verbally and practically. And the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted all that they heard and witnessed from him ﷺconcerning this.
In this hadeeth, al-Miswar ibn Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Taabi’ee, Marwaan ibn al-Hakam report that the Prophet ﷺleft Al-Madeenah during the year of al-Hudaibiyyah – the sixth year of the Hijrah – intending to perform ‘Umrah and not to fight. He ﷺwas accompanied by over ten hundred [, i.e. over a thousand] of his Companions. The Arabic word Bid’ used in the hadeeth to indicate their number encompasses the number from three to nine. [Hence, here, the word Bid’ (over) could mean anywhere between thirteen hundred to nineteen hundred]. Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him)mentioned that they were a thousand and three hundred (thirteen hundred) in number; and the other time, he stated that they were fourteen hundred; and again, the third time, he stated that they were fifteen hundred [Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim]. When they reached Thoo al-Hulayfah - now, it is known as Aabaar ‘Alee, a well-known location right at the onset of the road of Al-Madeenah that takes one to Makkah. The distance between it and Al-Madeenah is about 13 km and between it and Makkah is approximately 408 km, it is the farthest of all the boundaries from Makkah. It is the boundary [Meeqaat] of the people of Al-Madeenah and those who go for Hajj or ‘Umrah and pass by Al-Madeenah. The Prophet ﷺgarlanded the sacrificial animal and marked it [for identification]. The Arabic root word Taqleed [used in the hadeeth]: means to place garlands on the necks of the sacrificial animals so they are identified from others. Those garlands could be made from [a strip of] leather or socks and so on. The Arabic word Ish’aar [also used in the hadeeth]: means that the hump [or the back] of the big animal is slightly stabbed with a knife or any other [sharp] object until its blood flows. The benefit of performing Ish’aar: is to notify that it has now become a sacrificial animal, thus the poor who need it [its meat] may follow it and if it is intermixed with other animals, it can be distinguished or if it is lost, it can be located and besides this. It also indicates the veneration of the religious rites and encouragement to others to adopt them.
On this occasion, the Prophet ﷺhad assumed the Ihraam for ‘Umrah, however, the polytheists prevented him from performing it. Then, the treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah took place and the Prophet ﷺsettled this ‘Umrah of his in the following year (the seventh year of the Hijrah), hence, it was named as ‘Umrah al-Qadaa’. In Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that “The Prophet ﷺwas blockaded [from advancing further], hence he shaved his head, had sexual intercourse with his wives, sacrificed the sacrificial animals, and then he performed the ‘Umrah in the following year.”
This hadeeth highlights the legality of garlanding the sacrificial animals and marking them, for the purpose of identification.
It shows that it is permissible to assume Ihraam for the ‘Umrah alone..

Narrated `Amrah bint `Abd al-Rahmaan had told him, “Ziaad ibn Aboo Sufyaan wrote to `’Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that `Abdullah ibn `Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) had stated, ‘Whoever drives Hady (to the Ka’bah), all the things which are illegal for a (pilgrim) become illegal for that person till he slaughters it (i.e. till the 10th of Thoo al-Hijjah).’ “`Amrah added, `’Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) commented, ‘It is not like what Ibn `Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) had said: I twisted the garlands of the Hady of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ with my own hands. Then Allah’s Messenger ﷺ put them around their necks with his own hands, sending them with my father; yet nothing permitted by Allah was considered illegal for Allah’s Messenger till he slaughtered the Hady.’“
.

Commentary : The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were very keen to follow the guidance of the Prophet ﷺin all his statements and actions. Some of them would correct others concerning that.
In this hadeeth, ‘Amrah bint ‘Abdur al-Rahmaan reports that Ziyaad ibn Abee Sufyaan, a.k.a. Ziyaad ibn Abeeh wrote to ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) advocates that if a person drives the sacrificial animal, be it from the camels, cows, sheep and goats, to the Sacred house, in order for them to be sacrificed in the Hajj, without him assuming the Ihraam for Hajj and travelling for such purpose; then, all that is prohibited for the pilgrim will be prohibited for him too. With that said, such a person should not wear perfume, have intercourse with his wives, or do other things among the prohibited things of Ihraam. He must remain in that state until his sacrificial animal is slaughtered. However, when the Mother of the Believers, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) heard of the view of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him), she responded to this fatwa stating that it contravened what the Messenger of Allah ﷺdid. She explained that she used to make the garlands – collars – which were placed aaround the necks of the sacrificial animals of the Prophet ﷺwhich he would send forth, while he was not intending Hajj or assuming the Ihraam for Hajj. The Prophet ﷺwould place the garlands on the sacrificial animals with his noble hands, and then send them with Aboo Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Hajj in the year nine of the Hijrah when the latter performed the Hajj with the people. On the other hand, the Prophet ﷺremained at home and did not commit to the obligations that are imposed upon the person who is in the state of Ihraam and enjoyed all that which is allowed for other besides the one who enters into the state of Ihraam either for the Hajj or ‘Umrah.
This hadeeth shows the legality of sending the sacrificial animals to the Sacred Mosque by the person who has not gone there to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah.
It shows that a high-status person should serve himself by himself, even if there are others who will take care of his needs.
It illustrates the reality of some scholars correcting and responding to other scholars [with proofs]..

Tareq ibn Shehab narrated, “Marwan was the first one to deliver a sermon before the Eid prayer. A man stood up and said, ‘Prayer should precede sermon.’ He (Marwan) said, ‘It has been done away with.’ Abu Saeed remarked, ‘This man has performed what he should do. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, ‘Whoever among you sees something abominable should modify it with his hand, if he is not able to do it, then (he should modify it) with his tongue, and if he is not able to do it, then (he should modify it) with his heart, which is the least level of faith.’”.

Commentary : Allah honors and prefers the Muslim nation to other nations, for it enjoins goodness, forbids evil, and gently advises people, the qualities that transform any society into a virtuous one. This hadith related that the first person who delivered the Eid speech before performing the prayer was Marwan ibn Al-Hakam, the governor of Medina assigned by Caliph Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufian. He became the caliph in the year of 64 after Prophetic immigration. It was mistakenly narrated that the first person did that was Omar, Othman, Muawiyah, or Abdullah ibn Az-Zubeir. On the contrary, it was proven that the Prophet ﷺ and his four Caliphs used to pray before delivering the Eid speech as Ibn Abbas narrated in the two Sahihs, “I witnessed the Eid with the Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, Omar, and Othman. They all prayed before the speech." In the narration of Bukhari, Marwan mentioned why he did that. He said, "People do not sit to listen to our speech after the prayer, so I delivered it before the prayer." Most of the people used to leave after the prayer and only some listened to Marwan's speech. He may have done that thinking that it was something in which he could follow his own opinion. Once he changed the Prophet's tradition, one of the attendees came and denounced his behavior. That person may have been Abu Masoud as in Imam Abderazzaq's narration but it was narrated in Sahih Bukhari that he was Abu Saeed himself, this hadith's narrator. Perhaps, this situation happened more than once and that every time Marwan was contradicted by someone. On the other hand, if it happened once, it would be possible that Abu Saeed first denounced Marwan's behavior, as in Bukhari's narration, then Abu Masoud. Marwan's response, "It has been done away with" may mean that: (1) People used to leave, for they were in a hurry, or (2) He left the proven tradition of praying before delivering the speech on purpose. Abu Saeed approved the man’s denouncing Marwan and said, "This man has performed what he should do." He denounced the evil with his tongue, for he could not change the ruler's behavior by his hands. Then Abu Saeed narrated the Prophet's hadith. The hadith states that if a person sees something evil and corrupting, he has to change it with his hand provided that his knowledge and ability. If he cannot change it with his hands, he has to wisely and kindly remind people about its prohibition. Changing the reality may be achieved by gentleness and wisdom away from swords. If he is unable to change it by word or tongue, he has to denounce it with his heart and resolve that if he were able to remove it, he would do it. Denouncing evil with one's heart is the lowest reaction that a believer has to bring, so the Prophet ﷺ said as in Ibn Masoud's narration in Sahih Muslim, "Beyond that, there is no faith even as the extent of a mustard seed." This hadith shows that there are two conditions of the obligation of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil: (1) Knowledge of whether that action is good or evil, for the ignorant person cannot determine that, and (2) The ability to do so, for it is enough for the unable person to hate the evil with his heart. Abu Saeed's comment confirmed that Marwarn was the first one to display that behavior, for if the Prophet ﷺ or his companions showed that behavior, Abu Saeed would not call it evil as in his comment. Moreover, Abu Saeed held Marwan to prevent him from delivering the speech but the latter insisted on doing so. This hadith contains the following benefits: (1) It urges us to gradually enjoin the goodness and forbid the evil, each based on his ability, (2) It confirms the legitimacy of opposing rulers' behavior if they accept advice in public and this does not lead to another evil, (3) It clarifies that denouncing evil is a part of faith, (4) It shows that one's faith is subject to increase and decrease, (5) It stresses that Islam's rites cannot be changed or reordered. Once rulers try to do so, they have to be opposed as long as a person is able to do so and his denouncing will not lead to a greater evil..

Abdullah ibn Masoud narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah has not sent a prophet to a nation before me but he (a prophet) had disciples and companions following his way and obeying his command. Afterward, there came successors who said what they did not practice and practiced what they were not commanded to do. Whoever strove against them with his hand was a believer, whoever strove against them with his tongue was a believer, and whoever strove against them with his heart was a believer. There is no faith beyond that even to the extent of a mustard seed.” Abu Rafi' said, “I narrated this hadith to Abdullah ibn Umar but he disapproved of the narration. When Ibn Masoud came and stayed at Qanat, Abdullah ibn Umar asked me to accompany him to visit him (Ibn Masoud) during his illness. I went with him and asked Ibn Masoud about the Hadith when we sat (before him). He narrated it in the same as I narrated it to Ibn Umar.”.

Commentary : The Prophets' calls are of common features. All were resisted by some or lots of their people. All were followed by some of their people who afterward conveyed their calls. Over decades and centuries, people began to gradually move away from the truth. The one adhering to this truth had to resist them as much as he could. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ confirmed that all Prophets that Allah had sent had disciples and companions following their ways and obeying their commands. Afterward, there came successors and hypocrites who said what they did not practice and practiced what they were not commanded to do while claiming and complimenting themselves on following their prophet's guidance. On the contrary, they were committing and spreading corruption. Every believer has to strive against those people based on his ability. Whoever strives against and tries to remove their evil with his hand or tongue is a believer. Moreover, whoever hates their evil with his heart is a believer, for he wishes he had been able to remove these evils with his hand or tongue but he was unable to do so. There is no faith beyond that even to the extent of a mustard seed, for if one does not hate the evil even if with his heart but pleases it, it is an approval of disbelief. This hadith shows that there are two conditions of the obligation of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with hands or tongue: (1) Knowledge of whether that action is good or evil, for the ignorant person cannot determine that, and (2) The ability to do so, for it is enough for the unable person to hate the evil with his heart. Striving against evils by one's hands is only for those being able to change them without a conflict such as those in charge and rulers. Striving against evils by one’s tongue is by showing and calling for the truth. Striving against evils by one's heart is by rejecting, hating, and displeasing them. Abu Rafi' said, “I narrated this hadith to Abdullah ibn Omar but he disapproved of the narration.” Ibn Omar’s disapproval may be interpreted that he wanted to check the authenticity of the hadith, for one may unwillingly increase, decrease, or even distort his own narrations. He did not mean to accuse Abu Rafi’, for all people were vulnerable to forget. Ibn Omar knew that Abu Rafi’ was a great companion with a high level of justice and honesty. When Ibn Masoud came to Medina, Ibn Omar commanded Abu Rafi’ to go with him to visit Ibn Masoud. When they sat with him, Abu Rafi’ asked Ibn Masoud about this hadith, so Ibn Masoud narrated it to him just as Abu Rafi’ had narrated it to Ibn Omar. Abu Rafi’ did that to make sure of the hadith context and defend his narration. Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits: (1) It includes one of the signs of the Prophet’s prophethood, (2) It stresses the necessity of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, according to people’s conditions, (3) It clarifies the virtue of the Prophet’s companions, for they presented his properties and selves for the sake of this religion, (4) It shows that changing the evil is part of the Islamic faith, and (5) It refers that one’s faith increases and decreases..

Jaber ibn Abdullah narrated, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Hearts’ callousness and sternness is in the East while faith is among the people of the Hijaz.’”.

Commentary : People vary in faith, piety, behavior, and even the degrees of their evil acts. The Prophet used to teach us people's various attributes so that we can deal with them in the proper way they deserve. In this hadith, he informed us that we find people of hard hearts, lack of understanding, and refusing the truth due to disbelief in the East. A narration in the two Sahihs reported by Abu Masoud Uqbah ibn Amr clarified that they are the people of Rabi’a and Mudar. This was during the era of the Prophet ﷺ. They were hard people due to the harsh conditions they were living in. It was said that he may have meant all areas of the East: Middle, Near, and Far. After the Prophet's death, these two tribes had many trials such as: (1) Many people disbelieved once again, and (2) Some claimed prophethood as Museilemah, the Liar. The Prophet meant that they were subject to obey the devil and disbelieve the Islamic message. On the other hand, he informed us that we find deep faith, tranquillity, and comfort in the people of Hijaz, i.e. Mecca, Medina, and their environs. It is called "hijaz," for some potential reasons: (1) It separates Najd from Sara, (2) It separates Ghaur from Levant, or (3) It is surrounded by mountains. Finally, this hadith confirms the virtue of the people of Hijaz over other people..

Abu Hurairah narrated, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘You will not enter Paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love one another. May I tell you something you can do to make you love one another? Spread the greetings of salam (peace) among you.’”.

Commentary : The Prophet ﷺ used to teach his companions and nation the virtues of righteous deeds that display a feeling of affection among them and raise their ranks in the Hereafter. He also warned us against reasons for hatred and disharmony. Spreading the greetings of peace is one of the causes of love and harmony among Muslims. In this hadith, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ clarified that only believers will enter Paradise and added that love among believers is part of the perfect faith. He said, "You will not enter Paradise until you believe." He means that our faith is neither complete nor benefits us until we love one another. Then he guides us to the best attributes for getting that kind of love in Muslim society which is to declare, act upon, and spread peace among Muslims. Peace is the greeting that Allah, the Almighty, has prescribed for His servants. Once a Muslim passes by another Muslim, relative or stranger, he greets him with peace. Allah made spreading peace a reason for love and affection among Muslims, which is a reason for getting a perfect faith and prevailing the word of Islam. On the other hand, hatred and conflict are reasons for spreading division among Muslims. The form of that greeting as in the narration of Abu Daoud and others is to say, “Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.” Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits such as: (1) The command to spread the greeting of peace among Muslims, for it spreads love and safety among them and (2) It is proof that love is a reason for the perfect faith..

Tamim Ad-Dary narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Religion is sincerity." They said, "To whom?" He said, "To Allah, to his Book, to his Messenger, to the leaders of Muslims and their common folk.".

Commentary : Sincere advice is one of the features of our true religion. Muslims should advise each other in a good manner, and without making a greater evil than the benefit they want to achieve. This should be with loving and knowing the rights of the one who is advised in the society for his being a Muslim. This hadith clarifies the methods of this supreme behavior. The Prophet ﷺ clarified that sincere advice is Islam's essence and a means for its spreading. It is to say or do something that contains goodness for a person(s) sincerely. It is to seek goodness for the one who is advised. Moreover, it is a comprehensive term with various meanings. The Prophet's companions asked him to whom they offer it, so he answered, "To Allah, to his Book, to his Messenger, to the leaders of Muslims and their common folk." As for one's dealing with Allah, it means glorifying His command, showing mercy on His creation, calling people to believe in Him, and avoiding any acts of polytheism while worshiping him only. As for one's dealing with the Quran, it means to believe that it is Allah's word, deeply love and glorify it, recite it as it should be recited, face those distorting its authentic interpretations, ratify its stories, ponder over its lessons and miracles, act upon its rules, spread its knowledge, and call people to believe in it. As for one's dealing with the Messenger, it means to believe, follow, obey his commands, and avoid what he forbade. Moreover, it means to be loyal to those who are loyal to him and hate those who hate him. In addition, it means glorifying him, spreading his teachings, and facing people's accusations against him. As for one's dealing with leaders of Muslims, it means helping them in what is right, obeying them in goodness, gently reminding them if they neglect something, and avoiding disobeying them unless we see them doing an act of clear disbelief that Allah obviously showed in his religion, which is conditional on ability and avoiding having greater harms. The Muslim's leaders may include the scholars as well. As for one's dealing with Muslim scholars, it means accepting what they narrated and thinking well of them. As for one's dealing with common Muslim folk, it means gently teaching them Islam's laws, providing them with what is beneficial, having mercy on them, respecting them, avoiding cheating or envying them, loving for them what one loves for himself, hating for them what one hates for himself, and defending their properties and honor. Finally, this hadith contains the following lessons: (1) It confirms that advising people is the essence of Islam, and (2) It urges people to advise all people types, from the ruler to lay people..

Abu Hurairah narrated, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There are three signs of a hypocrite ... even if he fasted, prayed, and claimed he is a Muslim.'".

Commentary : Hypocrisy has two types: (1) Doctrinal: It expels the person from Islam, for he shows Islam and conceals disbelief and (2) Practical: It does not expel the person from Islam, for he just imitates the hypocrites in their morals, which is a major sin. This hadith identifies some attributes of hypocrites by clarifying the second type of hypocrisy. This hadith is part of another hadith in which the Prophet ﷺ informed that a hypocrite has three signs: (1) He used to tell lies and fabricate unrealistic stories. Lying is to say something contrary to reality. Its greatest form is to lie to Allah, the Almighty, and His Messenger ﷺ. It also includes lying in one's acts, so the hypocrite is a liar, for he shows faith but conceals disbelief inwardly. The Prophet ﷺ indicated that lying sometimes is permissible for some overriding interests. Bukhari and Muslim narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, “He is not a liar who reconciles between people, so he conveys or says goodness.” Islam urges us to reconcile between people even if it is achieved by lying to settle quarrels and avoid feelings of hatred and enmity, (2) He used to break his promises willingly, and (3) He used to betray people's trust. He loses, betrays, and uses their trust. The Prophet ﷺ informed that whoever used to act upon these three attributes is a hypocrite even if he performs the practical acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, etc. This hadith clarifies that these qualities belong to hypocrites so whoever behaves like that resembles hypocrites. It does not mean he is a hypocrite who shows Islam and conceals disbelief, for the Prophet ﷺ did not mean that he is a hypocrite who will be eternally in the lowest degree of Hell..

Jarir narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If any slave escapes from his masters, he becomes an infidel till he returns to them.”.

Commentary : Islam regulated the relations between masters and slaves. It called for kindly treating slaves and urged masters to emancipate them. It also encouraged slaves to care for Allah's and their masters' rights, for their masters bought them so it does not make sense that their properties may be wasted. Islam makes obeying masters, for the sake of Allah, is one of the greatest acts of worship. In this hadith, Jarir ibn Abdullah narrated that if any slave flees from his masters, he is a disbeliever. It may mean that he denies his master's rights or behaves like disbelievers do. It may also mean that his behavior leads to disbelief. It does not mean the literal meaning of disbelief. It means that he disbelieves Allah's graces by fleeing from his master until he returns to him willingly or unwillingly. Allah neither pleases him nor accepts his righteous deeds until his return, repentance, and righteousness. The complete narration of this hadith is that Mansour ibn Abdurrahman (the hadith narrator on the authority of Amer Ash-Sha’by) said after his narration, "By Allah, it is a Prophetic hadith, but I hate that it may be narrated on my authority here in Basra.” This means that Mansour traced back this hadith to the companion but he then swore that it was the Prophet's hadith to let his knowledgeable companions know about that. He feared that his transmitted narration to the Prophet may have spread in Basra which was full of Kharijites and Mutazilites who believed that one would eternally remain in Hell due to his sins. The former added that he is a disbeliever, depending on the apparent meaning of this hadith. Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits: (1) The slave’s fleeing from his masters is a major sin that contradicts the faith's requirements of obeying them and (2) Muslim predecessors cautioned against the wrong concepts that people of heresies may deduce from the Islamic texts that may apparently support their heresies..

Jarir ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If a slave escapes (from his master), not a single prayer will be accepted from him.”.

Commentary : The slave’s obedience to his master according to the obedience of Allah, the Almighty, is one of the greatest acts of worship. Allah organized the relations between masters and slaves. He urged masters to gently deal with them and recommended them to set them free. On the other hand, he encouraged slaves to preserve Allah's and their masters' rights. A master buys his slave with his money, so he has the right not to waste his money. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ confirmed that if a slave escapes from his master, "not a single prayer will be accepted from him.” This is because the slave is completely owned by his master so if he escapes, his master misses some benefits. It was said that the hadeeth refers to a slave who considers escaping lawful so he becomes a disbeliever and neither his prayer nor any other acts of worship are accepted from him. The Prophet ﷺ exclusively mentioned prayer for its greatness and virtue. It was said that the hadeeth is general and that rejecting his worship does not necessitate its invalidity. The escaped slave's prayer (who does not think that escaping is lawful) is correct, for he fulfils its pillars, but it is still unaccepted because it is associated with disobeying his master. There is no contradiction in that, for rejecting his worship means losing the reward but its validity means he is neither required to re-perform it nor he may be punished as the one used to abandon the prayer. Finally, this hadith confirms that a slave's escaping from his master is a great sin which contradicts faith's requirements commanding him to obey his master..

Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A person who believes in Allah and the Last Day never bears a grudge against the Ansar.".

Commentary : The Ansar, the people of Medina from the Prophet's companions before his immigration, reached a high rank in Islam for their great effort in supporting Islam, sheltering the Messenger and his immigrant companions, loving him, and his love for them. They used to present all that they had for him to the extent that lots of people became their enemies due to Islam. As a result, the Prophet ﷺ urged all Muslims to love them. Moreover, he made loving them a sign of one's truthful and perfect faith and hating them is a sign of one's hypocrisy and lack of faith. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ informed that a person who believes in Allah and the Last Day never bears a grudge against the Ansar, for whoever knows their right, initiative to support and spread Islam, and fighting against all people in defending the prophet will definitely love them out of necessity, which is a sign of his sincere faith. On the other hand, if one hates them, it is a sign of hypocrisy and corrupted intention. Because these great people with those supreme attributes are loved by only believers and hated by only hypocrites. Whoever loves them is loved by Allah and whoever hates them is hated by Allah as in the hadith narrated in the two Sahihs. Finally, this hadith contains some lessons: (1) It shows the Ansar’s virtues, (2) It confirms that loving them is a sign of one's sincere faith while hating them is a sign of corruption or lack of faith, and (3) It calls every Muslim to give Medina's people their rights..

Ali said, "By Him Who split up the seed and created something living, it is the illiterate Prophet's promise ﷺ that he gave me that none but a believer would love me and none but a hypocrite would bear grudge against me.".

Commentary : Ali ibn Abi Taleb had great status with the Prophet ﷺ for the following reasons: (1) His father, Abu Taleb, used to support and defend the Prophet against Qureish disbelievers, (2) He is the husband of Fatema, the Prophet's daughter, his most beloved daughters, and (3) The father of Prophet's grandsons, Al-Hasan and Al-Husein. In this hadith, Ali swore in Allah Who split up the seed, placed it in the soil, and created the plant by His power. He swore in Allah Who created the men and souls. His saying, "It is the Prophet's promise ..." means a covenant. His saying, "illiterate ..." is the attribute with which the Prophet was described in the previous books and in two places in the Quran: (1) "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel." {Al-A'raaf: 157) and (2) "So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words." {Al-A'raaf: 158) It was the Prophet's promise to Ali that he had a virtue that all believers would love him, but hypocrites would hate him. It means that if one loves and knows Ali's prestige, his closeness to the Prophet, the Prophet's love for him, and his support of Islam, it is proof of his authentic faith and truthfulness as he is doing what Allah and his Prophet please. On the contrary, if one hates him, it is proof of his hypocrisy and evil intention. It is an additional recommendation for Ali, for the Prophet ﷺ recommended us to care about his companions and follow their methods. Also, he guided us to give a high prestige to his rightly guided caliphs, including Ali. It is neither proof of Ali's specific guardianship, nor his caliphate after the Prophet's death. It may have been the Prophet's appreciation for Alai and call for Muslims to give him his considerable prestige and avoid belittling him after the Prophet's death. On the other hand, it was a sign of prophethood, for the Prophet knew that some people would go to extremes when dealing with Ali after the Prophet's death whether they would love him exaggeratedly or belittle him. As a result, he confirmed the believers' hearts would love Ali and the hypocrites' hearts would hate him..

Abdullah ibn Omar narrated, “The Messenger of Allah said, “O Women, give charity and frequently ask Allah for forgiveness, for I saw you form the majority of Hell.” A wise woman from them asked, “O Messenger of Allah, why will we form the majority of Hell?” He answered, “You frequently curse and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen someone lacking in discernment and religion more overwhelming a wise man than you.” She asked, “What is the lack of discernment and religion?” He answered, “As for the lack of discernment, the testimony of two women is equal to a man’s one. She does not pray for some days and breaks fast in the month of Ramadan. This is the lack of religion.”.

Commentary : The Prophet ﷺ used to preach to women just as he did to men, ask them to protect themselves against evilness, and frequently remind them of rectify their faults. In this hadith, Abdullah ibn Omar narrated that after the Prophet ﷺ delivered his speech on the day of eid, he preached to women only, as in the narration in the Two Sahihs that Abu Saeed Al-Khudry reported that the Prophet ﷺ commanded them to give charity and ask Allah for forgiveness. He justified this matter by the fact that he knew that most of the people of Hell were women. Giving charity is a means to increase good deeds and avoid Allah's anger and punishment. When hearing so, a wise woman asked about the reason. He showed two reasons: (1) They used to frequently curse those who did not deserve it. Cursing is to supplicate Allah to expel someone from his mercy, which was a habit of women before Islam and (2) They used to be ungrateful to their husbands. He explained it in another narration in the Two Sahihs when he addressed men, "If you treated one of them kindly forever, but she later saw something (disliked) from you, she would say, 'I never saw any good from you.'" She may be ungrateful to her husband while he treats her kindly. This continuous deliberate behavior enlarges this sin to be a major one. His help, protection, sacrifice, and care should be met with her gratitude and appreciation. Allah commands us to thank whoever gives us a favor. How is it the case with a woman's husband who gives her all that he owns throughout his entire life?! Then, he ﷺ described them with three attributes: (1) A woman has the ability to affect her wise husband's decision whether it is right or wrong. What about the unwise husband? (2) A lack of discernment: This is because a man's testimony is equivalent to two women's testimony. Allah said, "... so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her." (Al-Baqarah: 282), (3) A lack of religion: This is because she does not pray for some days and breaks fast in the month of Ramadan due to her menstruation. The Prophet ﷺ did not mean to blame them for these attributes with which Allah created them but wanted to warn men against the tricks that women sometimes use. Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits: (1) A person has the right to discuss the scholar and others if he does not understand his words, (2) Encouragement of charity acts, frequent seeking of Allah’s forgiveness, and all other acts of obedience, (3) One's righteous deeds eliminate his evil deeds, (4) Some Islamic texts may call something disbelief but do not mean the disbelief in Allah such as disbelief in marital life, benevolence, grace, and truth..

Abu Hurairah narrated, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘When a son of Adam recites a verse mentioning prostration then he prostrates, the devil withdraws weeping and saying, ‘Woe to him! - in another narration, ‘Woe to me!’ - The son of Adam has been commanded to prostrate, has done so, and will be rewarded with Paradise but I have been commanded to prostrate, have refused, and will be punished with Hell.’ In another narration, ‘ … have disobeyed, and will be punished with Hell.’”.

Commentary : There are Quranic verses that one is prescribed to prostrate after reciting them, which the Prophet's noble tradition specified. It is an act of worship and a reward for those who prostrate. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ informed that when a Muslim prostrates after reciting this type of verse, the devil withdraws weeping due to the reward that a Muslim gets for his obedience and prostration. He is crying and saying, "Woe to him!" In another narration, "Woe to me!" It means, "Oh, my sorrow, oh my doom." He regrets his previous disobedience to Allah. The son of Adam has been commanded to prostrate, has done so, and will be rewarded with Paradise due to his obedience. On the other hand, Satan has been commanded to prostrate but has refused. In another narration, "I have disobeyed, and will be punished with Hell." He deserved to enter Hell for disobeying Allah's command. Allah says, "And [mention] when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate before Adam;' so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant ..." (Al-Baqarah: 34) He is deeply sad for some reasons: (1) His failure in luring the son of Adam to commit sins, (2) His committing a fatal sin of being arrogant to Allah's command, and (3) Muslim's being deserved to enter Paradise for his obedience, while Satan is condemned to be expelled from Allah’s mercy. Blessed are those believers whose hearts become fearful when Allah is mentioned, their faith increases when Allah's verses are recited to them, and those who trust in their God. As for what a Muslim can say during this prostration, he can say the same supplications he says during the prostration of prayer, such as glorification. Finally, this hadith contains the following lessons: (1) The virtue of prostration which is a reason for entering Paradise and (2) A Quran reciter is permissible to prostrate after reciting a verse of prostration..

Gaber said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Verily, between a man and polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of prayer.'".

Commentary : Prayer is an obligatory act for every assigned Muslim. It is the second pillar of Islam and the greatest practical pillar after monotheism testimony. In this hadith, the Messenger ﷺ strongly warned against abandoning it and confirmed that between a man and polytheism is to abandon prayer. If he abandons it out of denial of its obligation, he is unanimously a disbeliever but if he abandons it out of negligence or laziness, he is a disbeliever according to the opinion of many scholars and the consensus of the Prophet's companions. If he sometimes performs and neglects it, he is also included in the description mentioned in the hadith, which is consistent with Allah's sayings, "But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil. Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all." (Maryam: 59, 60) In this verse, Allah condemned those neglecting prayer either abandoning it completely, abandoning some of its pillars and conditions, neglecting its duties, or performing it after its appointed times, etc. He condemned those being busy with their own whims and desires and preferring them to Allah's obedience and Paradise. Thus, he deserves to be punished except those who rectify their mistakes, struggle in the path of truth, regularly perform prayer, refrain from following their whims. They will enter Paradise and be saved from Hell. One has to caution against abandoning or neglecting this great worship. On the other hand, polytheism and disbelief may be used in the same sense, which is disbelief in Allah, the Almighty. There may be a distinction between them, so polytheism is specific to worshipping idols while acknowledging Allah, the Creator, like the infidels of Qureish. In this meaning, disbelief is more general than polytheism. Finally, this hadith deeply warns against abandoning or neglecting prayer..

Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None will enter Hell as long as he has the weight of a mustard seed of faith in his heart and none will enter Paradise as long as he has the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance in his heart.”.

Commentary : Faith is a reason for salvation from Hell and winning Paradise while arrogance is an attribute that refers to corrupted hearts and a reason for entering Hell. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ informed that a Muslim will neither enter Hell nor even remain there forever if his heart has the weight of a mustard seed of faith. Mustard is a plant with very small black fruits. It is a linguistic usage referring to smallness. It is Allah's great blessing that he will save the believers for their faith, even if He holds them accountable for their deeds first and admits them to Paradise by His grace and mercy. Afterward, the Prophet informed that a Muslim will not enter Paradise if his heart has the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance. Arrogance is to give oneself a high prestige that it does not deserve and belittle people. Allah is the only one that deserves this attribute. Mentioning the infinitesimal mustard seed indicates that even the slightest amount of arrogance in a Muslim's heart is a reason for not initially entering Paradise until he is held accountable for this arrogance which may necessitate punishment. Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits: (1) It is proof that faith increases and decreases in hearts and (2) It forbids arrogance..

Abdullah narrated, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance will not enter Paradise.' A man said, 'Verily, a person loves that his dress should be fine and his shoes should be fine.' The Prophet said, 'Verily, Allah is beautiful and likes beauty. Arrogance is to reject the truth and despise people.'".

Commentary : Arrogance is an attribute that indicates the corruption of hearts, which Islam forbade because it means self-aggrandizement while despising others. It is only Allah who deserves to be proud, for everyone else is His servant. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ explained the severe consequences of arrogance and dispelled some people’s misconceptions related to good appearance. He told us that Allah would not admit anyone to Paradise if his heart had the weight of an atom (or dust particle) of arrogance. This indicates that even the slightest bit of arrogance in one's heart is a reason for not initially entering Paradise. He should be reckoned first then will be punished or forgiven. One of the Prophet's companions thought that arrogance includes beautifying one’s clothing and appearance. So, he asked the Prophet ﷺ if a person loves that his clothes should be fine, is this considered arrogance? The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Verily, Allah is beautiful and likes beauty." He confirmed that Allah loved this manner as long as it did not lead to despising people. One's caring for his appearance is an indication of Allah's blessings upon him. Then the Prophet ﷺ clarified that the intended meaning of arrogance is to reject the truth and look down on people. So, this bad manner leads to oppress and disdain people. As a result, he will not initially enter Paradise but be punished for this great sin. Finally, this hadith contains the following benefits: (1) It is forbidden to be arrogant and reject the truth, (2) Islam allows beautifying oneself by wearing beautiful clothes and shoes, (3) It proves that the name “the Beautiful” is one of Allah's names..
