Narrated Mu’aawiyyah (may Allah be pleased with him): I cut short the hair of Allah's Messenger ﷺ with a sharp-edged arrow..

Commentary : The Messenger of Allah ﷺhas clarified the rituals of Hajj and ‘Umrah with his sayings and doings, and thereafter, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them in full detail, to the point that people are clearly aware of their worship.
In this hadeeth, Mu’aawiyah ibn Aboo Sufyaan (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he shortened the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.Perhaps, that may be during his exiting the Ihraam of the ‘Umrah of al-Ji’irraanah, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺperformed it when he conquered Makkah. It was called with that name because the Prophet ﷺentered Makkah at night and he performed the rites of ‘Umrah. Then, he left it at night and spent the night at al-Ji’irraanah, until he witnessed the morning there and until the sun of the next day inclined. Then, he ﷺheaded to Al-Madeenah. This happened in the eighth year of the Hijrah. He shortened his hair using Mishqas (sharp-edged arrow), which is the long and tall part of an arrow. This shows us that it is permissible to suffice with shortening the hair, even when shaving the head is better, which is applicable to both the Hajji and the ‘Umrah. Except that it is better for the one performing the Tamattu’-kind of Hajj to shorten the hair for the ‘Umrah and to shave it completely for the Hajj, so that shaving the head happens in the most perfect act of both acts of worship. 
Shaving the head is prescribed only for men while women are ordered to cut from their hair, so they exit their Ihraam. The acts of shaving and cutting the hair are from the rites of Hajj with which the pilgrim exits his Ihraam. It takes place after throwing the Jamrah of ‘Aqabah, after slaughtering his Hady, if he had it, and before the Tawaaf of Ifaadah. It takes place in ‘Umrah after completing the ritual walking between al-Safaa and al-Marwah.
This hadeeth highlights the legality of shortening the hair when exiting from the rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah..

1731
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him): When the Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah, he ordered his Companions to perform Tawaaf around the Ka’bah and between Al-Safaa and Al-Marwah, to finish their Ihraam and get their hair shaved off or cut short.
.

Commentary : The Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺexplained its rituals with his words and actions, and the honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us.
In this hadeeth, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him)reports that when the Prophet ﷺarrived at Makkah with the intention to perform the Farewell Hajj in the tenth year of the Hijrah, he commanded his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them to Makkah from outside the boundaries (Meeqaat) or from their own hometowns – just as what the Messenger of Allah ﷺdid – to perform the rites of ‘Umrah. He ﷺordered them to perform seven rounds of Tawaaf aaround the Ka’bah, do the ritual walking between the Safaa and Marwah, and then either get their heads shaved or shorten their hair. Thereby, they can exit from their Ihraam and wait until it is the time of Hajj [known as the Tamattu’-form of Hajj]. So, on the Day of Tarwiyah, they should assume the Ihraam for Hajj from their respective places and perform the rites of Hajj. The best option for one performing Tamattu’ is to shorten his hair to exit the Ihraam for ‘Umrah and to shave his head to exit his Ihraam for Hajj, in order to allow shaving the head to happen in the most complete act of the two acts of worship.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺdid not perform this kind of Hajj, rather he performed the Qiraan-kind of Hajj by inserting the ‘Umrah into the Hajj. This was by performing the Tawaaf of the House on his first arrival and performing the ritual walking between the Safaa and Marwah. He remained in his Ihraam until he slaughtered the sacrificial animals after completing his Hajj. That is because he took the sacrificial animals along with him from Thoo al-Hulayfah.
This hadeeth shows that pilgrims who do not bring along with them Hady are prescribed to perform Hajj al-Tamattu’..

1732
Narrated Nafi' that Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) performed only one Tawaaf. He would take an afternoon nap and then return to Mina. That was on the day of Nahr (slaughtering)..

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth Naafi’, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Umar reports that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform Tawaaf once, that is, Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. It is also known as Tawaaf al-Ziyaarah (Tawaaf of Visit) because the pilgrim comes from Minaa to visit the Sacred House and he does not reside in Makkah. Instead, he returns to spend the night at Minaa – on the Day of Sacrifice (Day of Nahr), the tenth day of Thoo al-Hijjah, then he has a siesta in Makkah. The siesta here means to have some rest during the midday, even if is not accompanied by sleep. Then, he again returns to Minaa at the time of Thuhr, because the daylight hours were long. Minaa is a valley near the Sanctuary of Makkah wherein the pilgrims halt to spend the night there on the Day of Tarwiyah and the days of Tashreeq and perform the rite of throwing the pebbles.
It is reported on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺleft [for Makkah] on the Day of Sacrifice and then he returned and performed Thuhr at Minaa. [Saheeh Muslim]. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would wait through having a siesta for the time in which the Prophet ﷺreturned to Minaa. That was because ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was very keen to follow the Prophet ﷺin all his actions both on journeys and at home.
This hadeeth highlights the legality of performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah on the Day of Sacrifice during the daytime..

1733
Narrated ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): We performed Hajj with the Prophet ﷺ and performed Tawaaf-al-Ifaadah on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering). Safiyyah got her menses and the Prophet ﷺdesired from her what a husband desires from his wife. I said to him, "O Allah's Messenger! She is having her menses." He said, " Is she going to stop us [from travelling]?" We informed him that she had performed Tawaaf-al-Ifaadah on the Day of Nahr. He said, "(Then you can) depart."
.

Commentary : Tawaaf al-Ifaadah is a pillar among the pillars of Islam and being pure is a precondition for the validity of Tawaaf.  When a woman menstruates before performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah, then she should not leave until she has attained purity, thereafter, she should perform Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. This is different from Tawaaf al-Widaa’ (the Farewell Tawaaf), which drops from her, just as this hadeeth clarifies.
In this hadeeth, the Mother of Believers ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) performed the Farewell Hajj with the Prophet ﷺ, they performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah on the Day of Sacrifice, that is on the tenth day of Thoo al-Hijjah. Then, the Mother of the Believers, Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated after performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. The Prophet ﷺdesired from her what a husband desires from his wife. This is an allusion to the intention of performing sexual intercourse. This happened when his wives sought permission from him concerning the performance of Tawaaf al-Ifaadah and he ﷺhad given them the permission. He thought that she had already performed the Tawaaf with them and had exited the second time, which makes it permissible thereafter for a man to come to his wife. When he was told that she was menstruating, he thought that she might have started menstruating before that to the extent that he refused her to perform Tawaaf al-Ifaadah in that account. Hence, the Prophet ﷺinquired concerning that saying, “Is she going to stop us [from travelling]?” Meaning: Are we going to be forced to stay behind until she attains the purity and performs Tawaaf al-Ifaadah? He was told, “Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) has already performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah,” or that ‘Aaishah notified him that she had already performed the Tawaaf with them. When he came to know about that, the concern that he had of staying behind and waiting until she attains purity and performs Tawaaf al-Ifaadah ceased to exist. He ﷺthen permitted them to travel and allowed Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) to forgo Tawaaf al-Wadaa’..

1737
Narrated ‘Issaa ibn Talhah: ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr in al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that he witnessed the Prophet ﷺ when he was delivering the sermon on the Day of Nahr. He (may Allah be pleased with him) added: A man stood up and said, "I thought that such and such was to be done before such and such. I got my hair shaved before slaughtering." (Another said), "I slaughtered the Hady before throwing the pebbles." The people asked about many similar things, and the Prophet ﷺ responded to them by saying, "Do it (now) and there is no harm in all these cases." Whenever the Prophet ﷺ was asked about anything on that day, he replied, "Do it and there is no burden upon you."
.

Commentary : The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺin the Farewell Pilgrimage, and they learned the rituals of Hajj directly from him ﷺ, as prescribed by his words and actions. They ensured to ask him ﷺabout all that they did not know and request clarification on whatever they found problematic.
In this hadeeth, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he was with the Prophet ﷺand saw him on the Farewell Hajj in the tenth year of the Hijrah. He explained that the Prophet ﷺstood delivering the sermon on his she-camel at Jamrah in Minaa after the midday of the Day of Sacrifice. So, the pilgrims approached him asking him about the rulings of certain things that they needed to know regarding the actions and rites of Hajj. Some people asked him about the ruling of bringing forward some of the acts of Hajj on this day before others. One man asked him about his situation where he was unmindful and forgot, hence, ended up going against the chronological order of the rites. So, he shaved his head, before slaughtering. Another person inquired about his case as he slaughtered the sacrificial animal before throwing the pebbles at Jamarah al-‘Aqabah. The Prophet ﷺresponded to both of them by saying, “Do it and there is no burden upon you,” meaning: there is no sin or penalty upon you. On that day, he ﷺwas not asked about anything that was brought forward whereas it should have been delayed or anything that was delayed while it should have been brought forward among the rites of that day, but he replied to the inquirer saying:  Do it and it is sufficient what you have already done and there is no problem for you in bringing it forward or delaying it.
This hadeeth shows that one should ask a scholar in all his conditions, even if he is busy, riding, walking, or standing.
It highlights the easement of Islamic law concerning the order and arrangement of the acts of Hajj on the Day of Sacrifice.
It teaches us that a Muslim should learn the rulings of his religion by asking the people of knowledge, and he should not do an action unless he is aware of its ruling..

1746
Narrated Wabarah: I asked Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "When should I throw the pebbles?" He replied, "When your leader does that." I asked him again the same question. He replied, "We used to wait till the sun declined and then we would do the rite of throwing pebbles.
.

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, Wabarah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Misally reports that he asked ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the time for the stoning of the pebbles during the days of Tashreeq, namely the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth of Thoo al-Hijjah. The pilgrim should start with the First Jamrah, the Second Jamrah, and then the Jamrah of al-‘Aqabah. His answer was that one should do it when the leader of Hajj starts throwing the pebbles. That was because he feared that people would oppose him and that would lead to a fitnah, although the matter is open and flexible. It is possible that he feared upon him that if he opposed the leader, then he would be subjected to harm from him. When he repeated the inquiry upon him, then it was not possible for him to conceal, he informed him of what they used to do in the night of the Prophet ﷺ. He informed him that they would lie in wait and wait for the midday and start stoning after the midday, that is, when the sun inclines from the zenith, which is the time for the Thuhr prayer.
This hadeeth emphasises the obedience of the leaders in those matters that do not contain the disobedience of Allah.
It teaches us to repeat the question to the scholar when he has not addressed the question, and that doing so is not considered being impolite..

1750
Narrated al-A’mash: I heard Al-Hajjaaj saying on the pulpit, "The Surah in which Al-Baqarah (the cow) is mentioned and the Surah in which the family of `Imran is mentioned and the Sura in which the women (An-Nisaa) is mentioned." I mentioned this to Ibraaheem, and he said, `Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Yazeed told me, 'I was with Ibn Mas`ood, when he did the throwing of Jamrah al-‘Aqabah. He went down the middle of the valley, and when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamrah) he stood opposite to it and threw seven small pebbles and said: 'Allahu-Akbar' on throwing every pebble.' Then he said, 'By Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at this place) stood the one on whom Sura al-Baqarah was revealed (i.e. Allah's Messenger ﷺ).'"
.

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, the Taab’iee al-A’mash, Sulaymaan ibn Mihraan reports that he heard al-Hajjaaj ibn Yoosuf al-Thaqafee, the governor of Iraq during the Umayyad period, saying on the pulpit, “The Surah wherein al-Baqarah [the Cow] is mentioned, the Surah wherein Aal ‘Imraan is mentioned and the Surah in which an-Nisaa’ [the women] are mentioned.” He did not say Surah al-Baqarah [the Surah of the Cow], Surah Aaal ‘Imraan and Surah al-Nisaa’ [the Surah of the Women]. In a narration recorded by al-Nasaaee, it reads, “I heard al-Hajjaaj say, ‘Do not say Surah al-Baqarah, say instead, the Surah wherein al-Baqarah is mentioned.”
Al-A’mash mentioned what he had heard from al-Hajjaaj to Ibraaheem an-Nakha’i to clarify the correct. Al-A’mash did not mean to narrate from al-Hajjaaj.  He was not meant to do that, but he wanted to tell the story instead and to clarify the mistake of al-Hajjaaj concerning it with what is established from the person who is referred to regarding it. Ibraaheem narrated to him that ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Yazeed told him that he had performed Hajj with ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) and he was with him when he pelted Jamarah al-‘Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice, which is on the tenth day of Thoo al-Hijjah. This is the biggest Jamarah and it is situated in the last part of Minaa in the direction of Makkah. It is not an integral part of Minaa, rather it is a borderline from the direction of Makkah. He said: “He went inside the valley” , i.e. he stood in the middle of it, until when he was beside the tree, and he faced it - and this tree does not exist now - he came to it from its width. He threw seven pebbles at the Jamrah, saying: “Allah is the Greatest” with every pebble he threw, and in the narration of Muslim: “I said: O Aboo ‘Abd al-Rahmaan, but the people are throwing it from above it?!” He replied, “From here” - and he pointed to the belly of the valley – “the one to whom Surah Al-Baqarah ﷺwas revealed stood here,” and Ibn Mas’ood swore to that by Allah, beside Whom there is no other god, confirming what he said and what he transmitted from the Prophet ﷺ.
The specification by ibn Mas’ood of Surah al-Baqarah in terms of mentioning it in his oath without mentioning the other Surahs was as it has been said: He was pointing to the fact that many rulings concerning the Hajj are mentioned therein. As if he was saying: This is the station wherein the rites of Hajj were revealed, notifying thereby that the actions of Hajj cannot be sanctioned except on the basis of textual evidence from the Quran and Sunnah to that effect. It was said:  He mentioned it [the Surah] because of its length and its merit and the abundant rulings it covers.
The reason Ibraaheem al-Nakh’ee mentioned this hadeeth was to highlight the explicit statement of Ibn Mas’ood concerning the use of: “Surah al-Baqarah,” and that he did not say, “The Surah in which al-Baqarah is mentioned” as al-Hajjaaj al-Thaqafee claimed. 
This hadeeth refutes the claim of al-Hajjaaj and debunks the statement of all those who said, “One should not say Surah al-Baqarah, instead, it should be said, “The Surah in which al-Baqarah is mentioned.”
This hadeeth shows that the pebbles are pelted from the belly of the valley and that Takbeer should be said with every pebble used [for pelting].
It highlights the legality of taking an oath in order to emphasise the statement.
It also shows that the people of knowledge should deny and refute the leaders in a way that is appropriate..

1751
Narrated Ibn `Umar that he used to do the al-Jamrah al-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khayf Mosque) with seven small stones and used to recite Takbeer on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till he reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qiblah for a long time to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands (while invoking). Then he would throw the Second Jamrah and then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing the Qiblah. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands and would stand there for a long period. Then he would throw Jamrah al-‘Aqabah from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ doing like this."
.

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, Saalim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar reports that his father (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pelt the closest pillars on the days of Tashreeq using seven pebbles. In Arabic, this Jamrah is known as al-Dunyaa (closest) because it happens to be the closest of all the Jamarat to Minaa and the farthest from Makkah, and it is also known as as-Sughraa (the smallest). It is the first one after Masjid al-Khayf at Minaa. He explained that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pronounce Takbeer after pelting each pebble. After, he would go to a distance from it until he used to halt at the plain surface of the belly of the valley so as to be safe from the flying pebbles that are used to pelt, he would stand facing the Qiblah and his back facing the Jamrah. He would stand up for a long time supplicating to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, lifting his hands up in supplication. Then, he would pelt the middle Jamrah. Then, he would head towards its north and would descend to the plain surface of the belly of the valley, meaning: the middle of it as he did for the first Jamrah. He would stand for a long time, facing towards the Qiblah, at a place where pelting does not reach him, supplicating to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, lifting his hands up. After this, he would pelt Jamarah al-‘Aqabah away from the belly of the valley. It is also known as al-al-Jamarah al-Kubraa. It is situated at the last part of Minaa in the direction of Makkah. It is not inside [the boundaries of] Minaa. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would leave after pelting it and would not stand up to supplicate there unlike what he did at the two former Jamaraat. Then, he informed that he previously saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺdoing exactly what he did.
This hadeeth demonstrates the legality of pronouncing Takbeer during pelting the pebbles.
It also shows the permissibility of lifting the hands in prayer after pelting the two pillars, the small and the middle ones..

1754
Narrated ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): 'I perfumed Allah's Messenger ﷺ with my own hands before finishing his Ihraam while yet he has not performed Tawaaf-al- Ifaadah.' She spread her hands (while saying so.)"
.

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. The Messenger ﷺloved perfume and used it excessively at all times, as it was from the things that was made beloved to him of the worldly matters.
In this hadeeth, ‘Aaishah, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that she applied the fragrance with her hands on the Prophet ﷺwhen he assumed the Ihraam, meaning she applied fragrance on him before entering the state of Ihraam and after exiting from his Ihraam in Hajj before performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. This refers to the first exit from one’s Ihraam after pelting Jamarah al-‘Aqabah and shaving the hair or shortening the hair.
The narrator of the hadeeth says – describing the act of ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her), “She spread her hands,” as if she was relating what she did by practically demonstrating it. It was said: she did that to exaggerate the happening as a refutation against those who negated that because Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to criticise the application of perfume before the Ihraam.
This hadeeth teaches us that wearing perfume is among the prohibited things of Ihraam. However, it is permitted to use it before entering into the state of Ihraam even if its effects remain after the entrance into the state of Ihraam..

1756
Narrated Qataadah: The Prophet ﷺ offered the Thuhr, `Asr, Maghrib, and the `Isha' prayers and slept for a while at a place called Al-Muhassab and then rode his mount and headed to the Ka’bah and performed Tawaaf around it.
.

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports a part of the guidance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺin the Farewell Hajj, which was in the tenth year of the Hijrah. He mentioned that the Prophet ﷺoffered the Thuhr and ‘Asr prayers and Maghrib and ‘Ishaa at al-Muhassab, which is an open and wide area between Makkah and Minaa and it is called Khayf Banee Kinaanah. It is now found in the outer boundaries of Makkah at a place as Qasr al-Saqqaaf.
After, the prophet ﷺslept for a short time after pelting the pebbles and moving out of Minaa. Then, he mounted his ride and headed from al-Muhassab towards the Ka’bah and performed the Farewell Tawaaf around it. This is the last Tawaaf that is performed by the pilgrim before his departure from Makkah.
There are different opinions conceding the halting of the Prophet ﷺat al-Muhassab. It was said: he halted there because it is an act connected to the rites of pilgrimage, and it is a Sunnah, which is the view of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Aboo Dawood recorded a hadeeth– whose original source is found in the two Saheeh Books – that ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺonly alighted at al-Muhassab so that it might be easier for him to proceed (to Medina). It is not a Sunnah. Anyone who desires may alight there, and anyone who does not want may not alight.”.

1758
Narrated ‘Ikrimah: The people of Al-Madeenah asked Ibn `Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) about a woman who got her menses after performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. He said, "She could depart (from Makkah)." They said, "We will not act on your verdict and ignore the verdict of Zayd." Ibn `Abbaas said, "When you reach Al-Madeenah, inquire about it." So, when they reached Al-Madeenah, they asked (about that). One of those whom they asked was Umm Sulaym. She told them the narration of Safiyyah.
.

Commentary : Allah Almighty states, {Allah intends ease for you and does not intend hardship for you.} [Al-Baqarah: 185]. And Allah also states, {He laid upon you no hardship in religion.}  [Al-Hajj: 78]. This was explicitly demonstrated in the rites of Hajj in terms of making their actions and rites easier upon the people and uplifting hardship from them.
In this hadeeth, ‘Ikrimah, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbaas, reports that some of the people of All-Madeenah asked ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) about a woman who has performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah on the Day of Sacrifice, and then she menstruated after that. What should she do?   He replied to them, “She could depart,” meaning, she can depart Makkah and return to her country without performing the Farewell Tawaaf. They informed him that they will not follow his statement and forgo the statement of Zayd ibn Thaabit (may Allah be pleased with him) whose view was that she should not leave. Rather, she should wait until she is pure so that she can perform the Farewell Tawaaf.
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) responded to them, “When you return to Al-Madeenah, ask its citizens concerning this issue.”  When they returned, they asked them. Umm Sulaym bint Milhaan – she is the mother of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) - was amongst those who were asked. She mentioned to them the hadeeth of Safiyyah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when she also menstruated. This hadeeth is recorded in Saheeh  al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim – and the wordings here are of Muslim - wherein ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “Safiyyah bint Huyayy menstruated after performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. I made a mention of her menses to Allah's Messenger ﷺ, whereupon Allah's Messenger ﷺ remarked: Well, then she will detain us. I said: O Messenger of Allah! She has performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah and circumambulated the House, and it was after this that she entered the period of menses. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: (If it is so), then proceed forth.” So, the Prophet ﷺpermitted her to depart without performing the farewell Tawaaf.
It is reported on the authority of Taawoos that he said: I was in the company of Ibn Abbaas when Zayd ibn Thaabit said: Do you give the verdict that the woman who is in menses is allowed to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House? Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Ask so-and-so – who was a woman of the Ansaar - to see if Allah's Messenger ﷺ had commanded her to do it. Zayd ibn Thaabit (went to that woman and after getting this verdict attested by her) came back to Ibn Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) laughing and said: I did not find you but telling the truth.” Thereupon, Zayd ibn Thaabit (may Allah be pleased with him) retracted from his fatwa.
This hadeeth shows that some of the rulings may not be known to some of the scholars..

1760
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him): “A menstruating woman was allowed to leave Makkah if she had done Tawaaf-al-Ifaadah.”
Tawoos (a sub-narrator) said, "I heard Ibn `Umar saying that she should not depart. Then later I heard him saying that the Prophet ﷺ had allowed them (menstruating women) to depart."
.

Commentary : Allah Almighty states, {Allah intends ease for you and does not intend hardship for you.}  [Al-Baqarah: 185].   And Allah also states, {He laid upon you no hardship in religion.}  [Al-Hajj: 78]. This was explicitly demonstrated in the rites of Hajj in terms of making their actions and rites easier upon the people and uplifting hardship from them.
In this hadeeth, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that menstruating women who performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah to depart Makkah and return to their city without performing the Farewell Tawaaf. In a different version of the hadeeth, it reads: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺhas allowed…” [Sunan al-Nasaa’iee]
After relating this hadeeth, the Taabi’ee, Taawoos ibn Kaisaan related that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), in the beginning, opined that when a woman menstruates after she has performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah on the Day of Sacrifice, she is not allowed to return to her city until she attains the purity and then she performs the Farewell Tawaaf. However, afterwards, he retracted from that position after learning that the Prophet ﷺhad granted them the permission to travel without performing the Farewell Tawaaf. 
It is reported on the authority of Taawoos al-Yamaanee that he heard ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was being asked about not allowing the women to perform Tawaaf if they menstruate after they have already performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah on the Day of Sacrifice. He answered: ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to mention the permission given by the Messenger of Allah ﷺfor the women. And this incident happened a year before the demise of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).” [Sunan al-Nasaa’iee al-Kubraa and others]. This narration clarifies the retraction of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from his previous fatwa.
This hadeeth shows that sometimes some rulings may not be known to some scholars.
It highlights the keenness of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to follow the Sunnah and to return to the truth..

1762
Narrated ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): We set out with the Prophet ﷺ with the intention of performing Hajj only. The Prophet ﷺ reached Makkah and performed Tawaaf around the Ka’bah and between Al-Safaa and Al-Marwah and did not exit his Ihraam, because he had the Hady with him. His Companions and his wives performed Tawaaf (around the Ka’bah and between Al-Safaa and Al-Marwah), while those who had no Hady with them finished their Ihraam. I had my menses and performed all the rites of Hajj. On the Night of Hasba (night of departure), I said, "O Allah's Messenger! All your Companions are returning with Hajj and `Umrah except me." He asked me, "Didn't you perform Tawaaf around the Ka’bah (‘Umrah) when you reached Makkah?" I said, "No." He said, "Go to Tan`eem with your brother `Abd al-Rahmaan and assume Ihraam for `Umrah and I will wait for you at such and such a place." So, I went with `Abd al-Rahmaan to the Tan`eem and assumed Ihraam for `Umrah from there. Then Safiyyah bint Huyay got her menses. The Prophet ﷺ said, " 'Aqra Halqa! You will detain us! Did not you perform Tawaaf-al-Ifaadah on the Day of Nahr?" She said, "Yes, I did." He said, "Then there is no harm, you can depart." So, I met the Prophet ﷺ when he was ascending the heights towards Makkah and I was descending, or vice-versa.

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺhas explained its rites by his statements and actions. His honourable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us just as they learned them directly from the Prophet ﷺ.
In this hadeeth, the Mother of the Believers, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) travelled with the Prophet ﷺto partake in the Farewell Hajj, which occurred in the tenth year of the Hijrah, and that they only intended to perform Hajj. The reason she did not mention the ‘Umrah is because of the common belief at that time that ‘Umrah may not be performed during the months of Hajj. When they reached Makkah, the Prophet ﷺ, his wives and Companions performed the Tawaaf of ‘Umrah and performed the ritual walking between the Safaa and Marwah. However, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did not perform the Tawaaf of ‘Umrah due to her menstruation. The Prophet ﷺordered those who had not brought the sacrificial animal from outside Makkah to exit their Ihraam after completing the rites of ‘Umrah and wait until the rites of Hajj start (i.e. Hajj al-Tamattu’). His wives had not driven the sacrificial animals with them; hence, they exited their Ihraam, and ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was among them. However, the fact that she menstruated on the night she entered Makkah prevented her from exiting the Ihraam. As she was in the state of Ihraam of the ‘Umrah, she added Hajj to it, thus, the type of Hajj she intended was Hajj al-Qiraan.
Her menstruation commenced at Sarif just before entering Makkah – Sarif is the name of a piece of land situated ten miles away from Makkah. As a result, she did not perform Tawaaf al-‘Umrah due to the impediment caused by the menstruation. As for Tawaaf al-Ifaadah, she had performed it on the Day of Sacrifice.  And they all performed the acts of Hajj completely.
The statement of ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): “When it was the night of al-Hasbah” refers to the night when they halted at al-Muhassab, which is the place where they stopped at after departing from Minaa to the outside of Makkah. It is a wide area between Makkah and Al-Madeenah, between the two hills towards the cemetery.  It is known as al-Muhassab (plural of hasbah, which means pebble) due to the congregation of gravel caused by the floods that carry it there. It is also known as al-Abatah, and today, it is called al-Ja’fariyyah, which is part of the region of al-Jummayzah. She complained to the Prophet ﷺabout how people will return with an ‘Umrah completely independent from the Hajj, while she will return with a Hajj only without an ‘Umrah. This was because she was keen of doing it, to increase the good deeds like the rest of the mothers of the believers and the Companions who changed their Ihraam for Hajj to become for ‘Umrah and after completing the ‘Umrah exited their Ihraam on the Day of Tarwiyah. After, they assumed the Ihraam of Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah from Makkah. They acquired thereby an independent Hajj as well as an independent ‘Umrah. As for ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she obtained an ‘Umrah inserted into Hajj , i.e. Hajj al-Qiraan, all the while, she desired to perform an independent ‘Umrah like the rest of people.
As a result, the Prophet ﷺ ordered ‘Aaishah to go with her brother ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Abee Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them) to al-Tan’eem in order to enter the Ihraam of ‘Umrah, to comfort her. The Tan’eem is a place that is three or four miles away from Makkah, the closest outer boundary to the House. It is known as al-Tan’eem because to its right lies the mount of Nu’aym and to its left, Mount Naa’im, and the valley is known as Na’maan. He ﷺmade their return to al-Muhassab as the agreed place to meet after completing her ‘Umrah.
The Mother of the Believers, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her), relates that Safiyyah bint Huyyay (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated and that was after performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. However, the Prophet ﷺthought that she menstruated before Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. Thereupon, he ﷺsaid, “’Aqra Halqa.” The literal meaning of which is: May God infest her with a wound and may she have pain in her throat. However, it is used as an idiom that Arabs use without intending its literal meaning or intending it as a supplication. It is just a phrase concerning which the Arabs have been accommodative and they use it whilst not intending its real meaning. This is like their other statement, “Taribat Yadaah,” [may his hands become soiled] and so on. Whence the Prophet ﷺquestioned saying, “is she going to hold us?” Meaning: Are we going to be forced to stay until she has purified and performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah? He was told, “Safiyyah has already performed Tawaaf al-Ifaadah or ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) notified him that she had performed the Tawaaf with them. When he ﷺlearned about that, then what he was worried about concerning the stay until she purifies so as to perform Tawaaf al-Ifaadah was removed from him.  He permitted them to travel and granted permission to the mother of the believers, Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), to forgo the Farewell Tawaaf. 
Then, ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) related that after she had completed the rites of ‘Umrah, the Prophet ﷺmet her at al-Muhassab while he had started walking from Makkah. At that point of time, she met him while she was descending to it or she was ascending, and he was descending to it.
This hadeeth shows that menstruating women are waived from the Farewell Tawaaf.
It shows the permissibility of performing ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj. 
It also infers to the precondition of being in the state of purity for the performance of Tawaaf. Hence, a menstruating woman is not permitted to perform the Tawaaf around the Ka’bah until she attains purity..

Narrated ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): It (i.e. Al-Abtah) was a place where the Prophet ﷺ used to camp so that it might be easier for him to depart.
.

Commentary : The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) have accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺin the journey to perform the Farewell Hajj back and forth, and they transmitted to us all his actions. They explained all that constituted as part of the rituals of Hajj and what did not constitute as thus.
In this hadeeth, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) reports the Prophet’s stay at al-Muhassab after his departure from Minaa on the thirteenth of Thoo al-Hijjah, the third day of the days of Tashreeq. Al-Muhassab or al-Abtah is a wide valley between Makkah and Minaa, between the two hills towards the cemeteries. It has been given that name due to the accumulation of gravel therein carried by the floodwater that flows towards it. In the current time, it is known as al-Ja’fariyyah, and it is part of the al-Jummayzah district. 
‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned that the stay at this valley was not part of the rites of Hajj. It was a halting-place where the Prophet ﷺstayed at because it would be easier for him to depart to Al-Madeenah, so that people can assemble therein and those who are of slow and moderate pace can be on the same level and spend the night there and wake up at early morning so they can all depart together to Al-Madeenah..

1766
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him): Staying at Al-Mahassab is not one of the rites of Hajj, but Al-Mahassab is a place where Allah's Messenger ﷺ camped.

In this hadeeth, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that staying at night at al-Muhassab is not part of the rites of Hajj at all. Al-Muhassab is also known as al-Abtah, which is a spacious valley between Makkah and Minaa, between the two hills towards the cemeteries. It has been given that name due to the accumulation of gravel therein carried by the floodwater that flows towards it. Now, it is known as al-Ja’fariyyah and it is part of the al-Jummaizah district. The Prophet ﷺstayed there on the last day of leaving Minaa – that is the third day of the days of Tashreeq – in order to allow people to assemble therein and those who are of slow and moderate pace can be on the same level and spend the night there and wake up at early morning so they can all depart together to Al-Madeenah..

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān reported: that a man from the people of Iraq said to him: "Ask 'Urwah ibn az-Zubayr on behalf of me about a man who proclaims Talbiyah for Hajj and when performs Tawāf around the House, may he end his Ihrām or not? If he tells you that he may not end his Ihrām, tell him that there is a man who advocates this opinion." He said: I asked him, and he said: "He who proclaims Talbiyah for Hajj may not end his Ihrām except with Hajj." I said: "There is a man who advocates this opinion." He said: "How bad his opinion is!" Then, the man came across me and asked me, and I related to him, and he said: "Say to him: There is a man who reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did that, and what about Asmā’ and Az-Zubayr who did that?" He said: I came to him and mentioned that to him, and he said: "Who is this?" I said: "I do not know." He said: "Why does he not come to me by himself and ask me?! I think he is an Iraqi." I said: "I do not know." He said: "He told a lie, for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj, and Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed me: that the first thing he began with when he came to Makkah was to make ablution and then perform Tawāf around the House. Then, Abu Bakr performed Hajj, and the first thing he began with was Tawāf around the House, and there was nothing else. Then, ‘Umar did the same. Then, ‘Uthmān performed Hajj, and I saw that he first began with Tawāf around the House, and there was nothing else. Then Mu‘āwiyah and ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar. Then, I performed Hajj with my father, Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām, and the first thing he began with was Tawāf around the House, and there was nothing else. Then, I saw the Muhājirūn and Ansār do that, and there was nothing else. Then, the last one I saw doing that was Ibn ‘Umar; then, he did not break it with ‘Umrah. This is Ibn ‘Umar with them; why do they not ask him? And none among the past would start with anything when they set their feet before Tawāf around the House, and then they would not end their Ihrām. I saw that when my mother and maternal aunt came, they would not start with anything before the House, around which they would perform Tawāf, and then they would not end their Ihrām. My mother told me that she and her sister, Az-Zubayr, and so-and-so and so-and-so came to perform ‘Umrah only, and after they wiped over the corner, they ended their Ihrām. He told a lie in what he mentioned about that..

Commentary : In this Hadīth, the Tābi‘i Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Nawfal al-Madani relates that a man from the people of Iraq said to him: "Ask ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr on behalf of me about a man who proclaims Talbiyah for Hajj." To proclaim Talbiyah is to say it in a loud voice. It here refers to assuming Ihrām for Hajj. And he reaches Makkah "and when he performs Tawāf" al-Qudūm "around the House", he may end his Ihrām once he performs Tawāf, without making Tawāf between Safa and Marwah, or not? It is said that the man meant to ask about dissolving Hajj and turning it into ‘Umrah. If the reply of ‘Urwah is that "he may not end" his Ihrām once he performs Tawāf, "tell him that there is a man" - meaning ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) - who advocates the opinion that Hajj may be dissolved and turned into ‘Umrah and Ihrām may be ended right after Tawāf.
Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān informed that he posed the question to ‘Urwah as requested by this man. So, ‘Urwah said: He who proclaims Talbiyah for Hajj "may not end" his Ihrām except with Hajj and after completing all the rituals of Hajj. In response, Muhammad informed him that a man believed that he might end his Ihrām once he performed Tawāf. Thereupon, ‘Urwah said: "How bad his opinion is!" He criticized this view held by him. Then, Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān said: "The man" who asked me to pose the question to 'Urwah "came across me," i.e., he intercepted and met me and asked me about the reply of 'Urwah. I related to him what 'Urwah had said. Thereupon, the man said to Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān: Say to him: "There is a man", meaning Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him), who held the view that if a person has not brought the Hady and he proclaimed Talbiyah for Hajj, he should end his Ihrām for Hajj after performing Tawāf; and that whoever wants to continue his Hajj should not approach the House until he has returned from 'Arafāt. He based his opinion on the command given by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to his Companions who did not bring the Hady to turn it into 'Umrah. Ibn' Abbās reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did that, i.e., he gave this instruction to his Companions who did not bring the Hady in the Farewell Hajj. This is known to have been the view adopted by Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him), and the majority disagreed with him.
He also urged him to ask him about Asmā' bint Abi Bakr and Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām (may Allah be pleased with both of them), 'Urwah's parents, and the fact that they ended their Ihrām once they performed Tawāf. So, Muhammad ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān went to ‘Urwah and mentioned that to him. Thereupon, ‘Urwah asked him about the questioner who sent him with these questions. Muhammad told him that he did not know him. ‘Urwah said: Why does he not come to me himself and ask me? I think he is an Iraqi. This is because they were known at the time for their rigidity in religious matters. Muhammad replied: I do not know. ‘Urwah said: He lied as he attributed this action to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and also attributed it to Asmā' and Az-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with both of them). Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj, and Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) - she was his maternal aunt - informed me: "that the first thing he began with", i.e., when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, was to make ablution and then perform Tawāf al-Qudūm around the House. Then, he completed the activities and rituals of Hajj. And that when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for Hajj after the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), the first thing he would start with was Tawāf around the House. "And there was nothing else," i.e. he did not change Hajj, dissolve it, and turn it into 'Umrah or Hajj of Qirān. Then, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb and ‘Uthmān did like him, and then Mu‘āwiyah, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar, and Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām (may Allah be pleased with them), and then the Muhājirūn and Ansār; they would start with Tawāf al-Qudūm. Then, Ibn' Umar was the last one I saw doing that - i.e., starting with Tawāf. "Then, he did not break it with 'Umrah," i.e., he did not dissolve it and turn it into 'Umrah. Instead, he continued his Ihrām until he finished it. "This is Ibn 'Umar" present "with them, why do they not ask him?" about the matters of their religion, if they are truthful in following the Sunnah! Likewise, there was none among the Companions who passed by except that they would start with Tawāf around the House when they set their feet, and then they would not end their Ihrām right after Tawāf.
Then, ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr informed that he saw that when his mother Asmā’ bint Abu Bakr and his maternal aunt ‘Ā’ishah, Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with both of them), came to Makkah, the first thing they would do was Tawāf al-Qudūm around the House, and they would not end their Ihrām right after Tawāf. "My mother told me that she and her sister" 'Ā’ishah, the affirmer of the truth, came to Makkah, and with them were "Az-Zubayr and so-and-so and so-and-so", listing names of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "to perform 'Umrah only" in the past, "After they wiped over the corner," i.e., the Black Stone, and started Tawāf from there, completed their Tawāf around the House and their Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and shaved their heads, "they ended their Ihrām." "He", i.e., the questioner, "told a lie in what he mentioned about that", i.e., the ending of Ihrām right after Tawāf.
The Hadīth demonstrates that the first thing to be done within the Sacred Precincts is to start with the Tawāf al-Qudūm.
It also indicates that if a person assumes Ihrām for Hajj only, there is nothing wrong with him performing Tawāf around the House.
The Hadīth points out that one of the etiquettes that a questioner should observe is to pose his question by himself, if possible..

1236
Asmā’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: As we set out in Ihrām, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has Hady should remain in Ihrām, and whoever does not have Hady should end Ihrām." I did not have Hady, and so I ended Ihrām. Az-Zubayr had Hady, and so he did not end Ihrām. She said: I wore my clothes and went out and sat beside Az-Zubayr. Thereupon, he said: "Stay away from me." I said: "Do you fear that I would jump on you?!".

Commentary : Tamattu‘ in Hajj is when a pilgrim intends to perform ‘Umrah along with Hajj. As he comes to Makkah and performs ‘Umrah, he ends his Ihrām and enjoys all that is lawful till the beginning of the rituals of Hajj on the 8th day of Dhul-Hijjah.
In this Hadīth, Asmā’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) mentions part of what happened during the Farewell Hajj. She informs that they set out in Ihrām for Hajj during the tenth Hijri year. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) reached Makkah, performed Tawāf around the House, and made Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah, he enjoined his Companions who had Hady - a name for the livestock, camels, cows, and sheep offered to the Ka‘bah as an act of worship to Allah - to remain in Ihrām till they would end it after standing at ‘Arafah and complete the rituals of Hajj; thus, they performed Hajj of Qirān, performing Hajj and ‘Umrah together. As for those who did not have Hady with them, they should perform ‘Umrah and end Ihrām and then wait in Tamattu‘ till the day of Tarwiyah, the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, on which they would assume Ihrām for Hajj; thus, they performed Hajj of Tamattu‘.
Asmā’ (may Allah be pleased with her) related that she was among those who did not have Hady, so they performed ‘Umrah with Tamattu‘. Meanwhile, her husband Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of those who brought the Hady, and so he remained in Ihrām. After she ended her Ihrām, she put on her clothes. This probably refers to her adorned clothes, for women are not forbidden from wearing stitched clothes under Ihrām. The version narrated by An-Nasā’i supports this: "and I put on some of my perfume." So, she (may Allah be pleased with her) went out of her tent and sat beside her husband, Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām (may Allah be pleased with him). Thereupon, he asked her to get up and stay away from him. In a version by Muslim: "Keep away from me, keep away from me." He (may Allah be pleased with him) seemingly feared he might do something forbidden for a Muhrim, such as touching a woman with desire and the like. Expressing disapproval of him, she (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Do you fear that I would jump on you?!" i.e., that I will attack you and throw myself over you?! She meant: Do not think that I have come to spoil your Hajj or that she would cause him to engage in some of the things forbidden under Ihrām.
The Hadīth demonstrates the legitimacy of performing ‘Umrah with Tamattu‘ during the months of Hajj.
It indicates that if a performer of Tamattu‘ Hajj does not bring the Hady with him and ends his Ihrām after performing ‘Umrah, all the things forbidden for him under Ihrām become permissible for him till he assumes Ihrām for Hajj..

1238
Muslim al-Qurri reported: I asked Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) about the Mut'ah of Hajj, and he declared it permissible, whereas Ibn Az-Zubayr forbade it. He said: This is the mother of Ibn Az-Zubayr narrating that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared it permissible. So, visit her and ask her. He said: We entered her place and found a blind, bulky woman. She said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared it permissible. [In a version]: As for ‘Abdur-Rahmān, his Hadīth mentions the Mut‘ah, but he did not say the Mut‘ah of Hajj. As for Ibn Ja‘far, he said: Shu‘bah said: Muslim said: I do not know whether it is the Mut‘ah of Hajj or the Mut‘ah of women..

Commentary : Tamattu‘ in Hajj is when the pilgrim assumes Ihrām for ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj and then ends his Ihrām, after which he assumes Ihrām for Hajj in the same year. So, if he comes to Makkah during the months of Hajj and performs ‘Umrah, he may end his Ihrām and enjoy all that is lawful until the rituals of Hajj begin.
In this Hadīth, the Tābi‘i Muslim ibn Mikhrāq al-Qurri informs that he asked ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) about the Tamattu‘ in ‘Umrah till the coming of Hajj, and he declared it permissible, i.e., it is legitimate and permissible. ‘Abdullāh ibn Az-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade Tamattu‘. This is a difference of opinion between them based on the different reports reaching each of them about the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is the mother of Ibn Az-Zubayr" - meaning Asmā’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) - "narrating that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared it permissible"; and he enjoined them to visit her and ask her about the ruling on the Mut‘ah of Hajj. Muslim ibn Mikhrāq al-Qurri informed that when they entered her place, they found her to be a blind bulky woman, i.e., a big woman; and she became blind toward the end of her life. She told them that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared it - i.e., the Mut‘ah of Hajj - permissible. This is the same view held by Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him).
Shu‘bah ibn al-Hajjāj - one of the Hadīth narrators - related that Muslim al-Qurri, in one of his versions, said: "I do not know whether it is the Mut‘ah of Hajj or the Mut‘ah of women" i.e., he means the Mut‘ah mentioned in the Hadīth, whether it refers to the Mut‘ah of Hajj or the Mut‘ah of women. The mentioned Mut‘ah which the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared permissible is more likely to be the Mut‘ah of Hajj, for it is mentioned in the narration of Rawh ibn ‘Ubādah from Shu‘bah, who memorized Hadīths better than others. The Mut‘ah marriage is to marry a woman for a specified period, using the word Tamattu‘, in return for a sum of money. This kind of marriage was permissible at the beginning. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it ever since the Battle of Khaybar till the Day of Judgment..

1240
Ibn ‘Abbās reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed Talbiyah for Hajj. [In a version]: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) proclaiming Talbiyah for Hajj. In all their versions: He performed the morning prayer in Al-Bat'hā’ - except for Al-Jahdami, who did not make mention of it..

Commentary : Hajj is the fifth pillars of Islam, and it is an act of worship for those who can find a way to it. All its rituals must be taken from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet's Companions were keen to convey that to the Tābi‘is.
This Hadīth is an abridged version of another Hadīth narrated by Muslim, in which ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed Talbiyah for Hajj" i.e., he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went out of Madīnah intending to perform Hajj. So, he assumed Ihrām for Hajj and raised his voice in saying Talbiyah. His assumption of Ihrām and proclamation of Talbiyah took place in Dhul-Hulayfah, which is known today as "Ābār ‘Ali". He arrived in Makkah as four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, in the tenth Hijri year. He performed the Fajr prayer at Al-Bat'hā’ on the morning of the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Al-Bat'hā’: a place outside Makkah, and it is a broad channel containing small pebbles. It is also called Al-Muhassab. When he performed the Fajr prayer, he enjoined them to dissolve their Ihrām of Hajj and turn it into ‘Umrah. This is because during Jāhiliyyah "they used to consider the performance of ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj to be one of the worst immoralities in the world." Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to forbid them from that and demonstrate the lawfulness of doing so, and that whoever wants to perform ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj may perform it, and there is nothing wrong with that, and he becomes a performer of Tamattu‘ Hajj. When a person comes to Makkah during the months of Hajj and performs ‘Umrah, he may end his Ihrām and enjoy all the lawful things till the beginning of the Hajj rituals, and then he assumes Ihrām for Hajj.
It is said: He enjoined those who did not have the Hady to do that. As for those who brought the Hady, they should remain in their Ihrām for Hajj and not end it, for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had I not had the Hady with me, I would have ended my Ihrām." Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim..

1241
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is an ‘Umrah which we have treated as Tamattu‘. So, whoever does not have the sacrificial animals should end Ihrām completely, for ‘Umrah has been incorporated in Hajj until the Day of Judgment.".

Commentary : The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went out for Hajj in the tenth year, in Dhul-Hijjah. It was called the Farewell Hajj. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded some of his Companions, after they had come to Makkah and performed Tawāf around the House and Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah, to end their Hajj and turn it into ‘Umrah, which was called Tamattu‘ in performing ‘Umrah before Hajj.
In this Hadīth, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) mentions that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is an ‘Umrah which we have treated as Tamattu‘"; thereby, he refers to the command he gave to some of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to end their Hajj and turn it into ‘Umrah. Meanwhile, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was in a state of Qirān, performing ‘Umrah along with Hajj, and he did not end his Hajj to turn it into ‘Umrah along with them. However, he attributed Tamattu‘ to himself because he was the one who commanded them to do so and approved it for them. Those who were commanded to engage in Tamattu‘ were those who did not have the sacrificial animals, a term that refers to cattle, such as camels, cows, and sheep, that are offered at the Ka‘bah as a means of closeness to Allah. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to end Ihrām completely, i.e., all the things forbidden because of Ihrām were then permissible for them. Then, clarifying the reason behind his command about ending Ihrām, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that ‘Umrah was incorporated into Hajj until the Day of Judgment, i.e., ‘Umrah can be performed in the months of Hajj, unlike the past practice of the people of Jāhiliyyah. The intention for ‘Umrah was incorporated into the intention for Hajj, such that if a person intends to perform Hajj, it becomes legitimate for him to end Hajj by the performance of ‘Umrah, in case he did not bring the sacrificial animals with him. As for those who bring the sacrificial animals with them, they should remain in their Ihrām until the completion of the rituals of Hajj, and this is called Qirān Hajj.
The Hadīth shows that ‘Umrah can be performed in the months of Hajj..

1243
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer in Dhul-Hulayfah. Then, he called for his she-camel and marked it on the right side of its hump, removed the blood from it, and tied two of its shoes around its neck. Then, he mounted his riding camel, and when it brought him up to Al-Baydā’, he pronounced Talbiya for Hajj. [In a version]: When the Prophet of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Dhu al-Hulayfah. He did not say: He offered the Zhuhr prayer therein..

Commentary : Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam which Allah Almighty commanded His servants to fulfill. It must be performed by him who can, physically and financially. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj only once. So, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted the detailed aspects of this Hajj, so that we can learn the manner of Hajj enjoined by Allah Almighty.
In this Hadīth, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zhuhr prayer while going out to Hajj in Dhul-Hulayfah in a shortened form, i.e., as two Rak‘ahs. This is because he was traveling to Makkah, and Dhul-Hulayfah is close, located 6 or 7 miles (nearly 10km) away from Madīnah and 420km from Makkah. It is nowadays known among ordinary people as Abiyār ‘Ali or Ābār ‘Ali, and it is the Miqāt for the people of Madīnah and those who pass by it. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) called for "his she-camel," which was part of the sacrificial animals to be slaughtered in the Sacred Precincts. "And marked it on the right side of its hump," the highest area on the back of the camel. Marking a sacrificial camel is to slit one side of its hump until it bleeds. This is used as a mark indicating that the camel is a sacrifice; thus, no one will take it. And if it strays away, it will be brought back, and if it gets mixed up with other camels, it remains distinct. "Removed the blood from it and tied two shoes around its neck" to be another mark defining it as a sacrifice. "Then, he mounted his riding animal," which is a mount prepared for traveling. At that time, it was a she-camel called Al-Qaswā’. "And when it brought him up," i.e., the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ascended while on the back of the riding animal to an area called 'Al-Baydā’'', a place adjacent to Dhul-Hulayfah, the location of Miqāt for the people of Madīnah. Al-Baydā’ in the Arabic language means the empty desert. But here it refers to a certain place between Makkah and Madīnah, and it is located above the two signposts of Dhul-Hulayfah for those who ascend from the valley. At the beginning of Al-Baydā’ lies a well of water.
When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was in Al-Baydā’, he pronounced Talbiyah for Hajj, i.e., he assumed Ihrām for Hajj and raised his voice in proclaiming the Talbiyah of Hajj.
In a Hadīth of the Two Sahīh Collections, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not pronounce Talbiyah except from the mosque, meaning the mosque of Dhul-Hulayfah." The difference between the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) regarding the locations from which the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed Talbiyah is probably because each of them talked about what he saw. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went out from Madīnah for Hajj, and when he prayed in the mosque of Dhul-Hulayfah, he pronounced Talbiyah for Hajj. So, some people heard that from him and memorized it. Then, he rode, and when his she-camel stood up with him on its back, he proclaimed Talbiyah. Some people became aware of his act, as they would come in groups. They heard it and said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pronounced Talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back. Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) proceeded, and when he ascended the height of Al-Baydā’, he pronounced Talbiyah. Some people became aware of what he did, and so they said: Indeed, he pronounced Talbiyah when he ascended the height of Al-Baydā’. So, each of them transmitted what he heard. This clearly indicates that the difference arose over starting the proclamation of Talbiyah and the assumption of Ihrām from the Miqāt. This confusion is cleared by the Hadīth narrated by Abu Dāwūd, in which Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I swear by Allah, he proclaimed Talbiyah at the place where he prayed, and he proclaimed Talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back, and he proclaimed Talbiyah when he ascended the height of Al-Baydā’."
The Hadīth points out what the pilgrim should do if he brings the sacrificial animal with him, marking it, causing some of its blood to flow, and hanging a sign around its neck.
It also indicates that Talbiyah and Ihrām should be proclaimed at the locational Miqāt..

1244
Abu Hassān al-A‘raj reported: A man from Banu al-Hujaym said to Ibn ‘Abbās: "What is this Fatwa of yours which has engaged the attention of people, or has become a matter of dispute among them - that he who performs Tawāf around the House has ended his Ihrām?!" He said: "The Sunnah of your Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), even if you dislike it.".

Commentary : Tamattu‘ in Hajj is when the pilgrim assumes Ihrām for ‘Umrah during the days of Hajj and then ends his Ihrām, after which he assumes Ihrām for Hajj in the same year. So, if he comes to Makkah during the months of Hajj and performs ‘Umrah, he may end his Ihrām and enjoy all that is lawful until the rituals of Hajj begin.
In this Hadīth, the Tābi‘i Abu Hassān al-A‘raj informs that a man from Banu al-Hujaym - a branch of the tribe of Tamīm - said to ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him): "What is this Fatwa of yours which has engaged people's attention or has become a matter of dispute among them." In Arabic, Tashaghghafat means: It gripped people's attention; and Tashaghghabat: It made them confused regarding their matter. The Fatwa is that he who performs Tawāf around the House has ended his Ihrām. It apparently suggests that he (may Allah be pleased with him) advocated Tamattu‘ in Hajj, whereas ‘Umar and ‘Uthmān (may Allah be pleased with both of them), during their respective caliphates, and some of the Companions forbade it and enjoined people to perform Hajj of Ifrād. So, Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) clarified to them that he who performs Tawāf around the House and makes Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah has ended his Ihrām by shaving his head or cutting his hair and dissolved his Hajj and turned it into ‘Umrah, in case he has not brought the Hady with him; as for he who brought the Hady, he should continue his Ihrām until he completes the other rituals of Hajj. His words: "The Sunnah of your Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)" mean: What Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) urged them to do is what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) determined for his Companions in the Farewell Hajj, and it continued to be done after him, and it was not mentioned therein that the ruling was abrogated or that it particularly applied to them at that time. It is well known that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to end their Ihrām by Tawāf and Sa'i and shaving or cutting hair. This happened at the top of Marwah, as stated in the Hadīth reported by Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated by Muslim. And his words: "even if you dislike it" mean: You obey and comply even if you are unwilling.
Some took the words of Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) here to mean that one should end Ihrām after Tawāf al-Qudūm. But, this potential meaning is ruled out because it contradicts the Prophet's action and what was authentically reported from him, and it also runs counter to the view adopted by the majority of scholars..

1252
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, the son of Mary (Mariyam) will certainly proclaim Talbiyah in the valley of Ar-Rawhā’ for Hajj or ‘Umrah or both of them together." [In a version]: "By the One in Whose Hand the soul of Muhammad is.".

Commentary : The Ummah of Islam enjoys great significance, for it is the last of the prophets' communities in the world, and its Prophet is the seal of the prophets; he was sent to all humankind as a bringer of good news and a warner, and his Da'wah is enduring till the end of time.
In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swears by Allah Who possesses the soul of His servant and Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and has the power to seize it - the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would often take this oath - that Jesus ('Īsa) the son of Mary (peace be upon both of them) will proclaim Talbiyah, which will happen at the end of time and is regarded as one of the major signs of the Day of Judgment. To proclaim Talbiyah is to say it in a loud voice. This indicates that he will set out for Hajj to the House of Allah Almighty, which will come to pass in the valley of Ar-Rawhā’, a place lying between Makkah and Madīnah. His Talbiyah will be for Hajj or Umrah only or for Hajj and Umrah together.
Prophet Jesus the son of Mary (peace be upon him) is alive in heaven. It is authentically narrated in the Two Sahīh Collections that he (peace be upon him) will descend to the earth before the Day of Judgment "as a just judge; he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish jizyah (a tax imposed on non-Muslim inhabitants in an Islamic state.)"
The Hadīth mentions Talbiyah for Hajj and ‘Umrah in Ifrād or Qirān.
It points out that the prophets perform Hajj and ‘Umrah..

1265
Abu At-Tufayl reported: I said to Ibn ‘Abbās: "I think that I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "Describe him to me." He said: I said: "I saw him near Marwah on the back of a she-camel, and people had thronged around him." Ibn' Abbās said: "This is the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), for they were neither pushed aside from him nor turned away.".

Commentary : The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would observe the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in all his conditions to learn from him the Sunnahs, the etiquettes, and the teachings of the religion, especially in such situations that required such that they had not previously witnessed him, like Hajj and ‘Umrah. Indeed, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined them to learn the rituals from him.
In this Hadīth, the noble Companion Abu At-Tufayl ‘Āmir ibn Wāthilah (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that he thinks he saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He probably intends to refer here to one of the situations during the Farewell Hajj. But he did not emphasize that for fear that he might have seen someone else and mistook him for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) due to the crowdedness in the Sacred Mashā‘ir.
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him to describe the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to him. Abu At-Tufayl informed that he saw him near Mount Marwah on the back of a she-camel as people surrounded him to learn their rituals from him. He rode the she-camel so that everyone could see him. In response, Ibn' Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) affirmed to him that the person he had seen riding his she-camel near Marwah was the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He told him why he rode the she-camel, and that was because the people "were neither pushed aside from him nor were they turned away." In some versions: "they were not forced", i.e., no one would force them to turn away from him.
Another version by Muslim points out that riding is not an act of Sunnah, and that walking and Ramal between Safa and Marwah was more beloved to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There was a large crowd around the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saying: This is Muhammad, this is Muhammad. Even virgins came out of their houses. He said that people would not be beaten back in front of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). When a large crowd surrounded him, he rode(the she-camel. However, walking and jogging are better..

1267
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would not touch any of the corners of the House except the Black Corner and the one next to it from the direction of the houses of Al-Jumahiyyīn..

Commentary : The Sacred House was built with four corners. The first two are the Corner of the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, which are called the Two Yemenis, thus attributing both to what is more dominant of them. As for the two other corners, they are called The Two Levantines.
In this Hadīth, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would not touch any of the corners of the House except the two corners only. First: The Black Corner. He used to kiss or point to it with a stick or the like and then kiss it. This is because it comprises two merits, one of which is that it rests upon the foundations of Abraham (Ibrāhīm) (peace be upon him), and the other is that it contains the Black Stone. It is situated in the corner of the Ka‘bah that lies next to the gate from the eastern direction. The second Corner: "the one next to it". This is the Yemeni Corner, and the merit by which it is characterized is that it rests upon the foundations of Abraham also; this is why the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would touch, kiss, and wipe over it, apart from the other two corners. His words "from the direction of the houses of Al-Jumahiyyīn" refer to Banu Jumah, a subtribe of the Quraysh whose houses were opposite the Yemeni Corner at the time. As for the other two corners, they do not possess any of these two merits. So, they are not kissed or touched.
The Hadīth defines what should be touched and kissed of the Ka‘bah, which is the Corner of the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, apart from the others..

1273
Jābir reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the House during the Farewell Hajj while riding his mount. He touched the Stone with his curved-end stick so that the people could see him, and he should be conspicuous, and they could ask him for the people crowded around him..

Commentary : The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated the rituals and activities of Hajj and ‘Umrah through words and deeds and pointed out what is permissible from among them and what is not.
In this Hadīth, Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) informs that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the House during the Farewell Hajj, and that was the Hajj performed by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in 10 A.H. It was called as such because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) seemed to have been bidding farewell to them, and he passed away shortly after that. "while riding his mount"; mount refers to every animal prepared for riding. During that Hajj, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his she-camel, he was touching the Black Stone with his curved-end stick, Mihjan in Arabic. In a Hadīth in the Sahīh Muslim Collection, Abu At-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "and he kissed the curved-end stick." This is because one of the Sunnahs of Tawāf is to kiss the Black Stone, and since he was unable to touch the Stone with his hand, he touched it with a stick and kissed what touched the Stone. Then, Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) pointed out that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) rode his she-camel to make it easier for people to see him and for him to be at a high place so that the people could recognize him and ask him about anything they would find confusing regarding the rituals of Hajj. He did so because the people "crowded around him"; so, he feared for them due to this crowdedness and did not want to be obliged to turn them away from himself. Therefore, his riding was easier for him and them and more beneficial in terms of following his example, and so that they could see him and ask him about whatever they wished.
The Hadīth denotes the permissibility to perform Tawāf while riding a mount, and this also applies to similar things like wheelchairs, particularly if riding serves a certain benefit, such as giving Fatwas to people and teaching them.
It also mentions touching the Black Stone and indicates that if a person is unable to touch it with his hand - because he is riding something or there is crowdedness - he may touch it with a stick or the like..

1274
‘Ā’ishah reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah during the Farewell Hajj on the back of his camel, and he touched the Corner (the Black Stone), disliking that the people should be pushed away from him..

Commentary : The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach people through words and deeds, and he would facilitate the matters of religion for them at times of hardship and necessity. For example, he would facilitate the rituals and acts of Hajj that were hard for people.
In this Hadīth, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet's wife, informs that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf on the back of his camel, which was prepared for traveling, during the Farewell Hajj, that was the Hajj performed by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in 10 A.H. It was called as such because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) seemed to have been bidding farewell to them, and he passed away shortly after that. "and he touched the Corner" i.e., the Black Stone. In the Two Sahīh Collections: "and he touched the Stone with a Mihjan" i.e., a curved-end staff. In a Hadīth narrated by Muslim, Abu At-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "and he touched the curved-end staff." This is because one of the Sunnahs of Tawāf is to kiss the Black Stone.
Clarifying the reason for that, she said: "disliking that the people should be pushed away from him", which means that if he performed Tawāf on foot, it would be feared that people around him would be pushed away. So, out of compassion towards the people, he rode his camel to prevent that from happening. This was a method for turning them away from him without pushing, forcing, or shouting at them. Certainly, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would not accept that people be pushed away from him. But he rode his camel lest one of those around him would volunteer to push the people away from him. In a version by An-Nasā’i in As-Sunan Al-Kubra Collection - and also in some versions in the Sahīh Muslim Collection -: "the people be pushed away from him"; "pushed away" instead of "beaten". The pronoun in Arabic may be referring to the Stone, and the meaning would be: If he performed Tawāf on foot, the people would turn away from the Stone each time the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed by it, to avoid putting him in crowding, out of reverence for him. And the pronoun may be referring to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and the meaning would be: Anyone who tried to reach him to ask him, see him, or follow his example would be unable to do so because of the large crowds around him, and so he would turn away without having his need fulfilled.
Also one of the reasons behind his riding during Tawāf was what Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported in a Hadīth narrated by Muslim: "so that the people could see him, and he should be conspicuous, and they could ask him, for the people crowded around him,", i.e. so that the people could recognize him and ask him about anything they found confusing regarding the rituals of Hajj. He rode his she-camel because the people crowded around him, so he feared this crowdedness for them and did not want to be obliged to turn them away from himself. Therefore, his riding was easier for him and them and more beneficial in terms of following his example.
The Hadīth denotes the permissibility to perform Tawāf while riding a mount, and this also applies to similar things, like wheel wheelchairs, mainly if riding serves a particular benefit, such as giving Fatwas to people and teaching them.
It also mentions touching the Black Stone and indicates that if a person cannot touch it with his hand - because of riding something or crowdedness - he may touch it with a stick or the like..

1279
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh reported: Neither the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) nor his Companions performed Tawāf between Safa and Marwah except for one Tawāf. [In a version]: Except for one Tawāf; his first Tawāf..

Commentary : Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam, and it is an act of worship for those who can find a way to it. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) taught us its pillars, Sunnahs, and etiquettes.
In this Hadīth, the noble Companion Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh says that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), in his Hajj, did not perform Tawāf between Safa and Marwah, except for one Tawāf, neither did his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Another version adds: "his first Tawāf". Tawāf here refers to Sa‘i between the mount of Safa and Marwah, which is one of the pillars of Hajj and ‘Umrah. It consists of seven rounds, the first of which starts from Safa and ends at Marwah, and the second round starts from Marwah and ends at Safa, and so on. Those of his Companions who performed Qirān Hajj - combining Hajj and ‘Umrah with one Ihrām - did not perform Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah except for once, because one Tawāf and one Sa‘i is sufficient for the performer of Qirān Hajj, as the rituals of ‘Umrah are incorporated into the rituals of Hajj. As for those who performed Tamattu‘ Hajj - assuming Ihrām for ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj and then ending its Ihrām and assuming Ihrām for Hajj - they performed two Sa‘is: one Sa‘i for their ‘Umrah and another Sa‘i for their Hajj on the Day of Nahr. This is demonstrated by a Hadīth narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim, in which ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Those who proclaimed Talbiyah for ‘Umrah performed Tawāf around the House and between Safa and Marwah. Then, they ended Ihrām, and then they performed another Tawāf after returning from Mina," i.e., those who performed Tamattu‘ Hajj. "As for those who combined Hajj and ‘Umrah, they performed one Tawāf," i.e., those who performed Qirān Hajj..

1282
Ibn ‘Abbās reported: Al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbās, who rode behind the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), reported that on the evening of ‘Arafah and the morning of Jam‘, he said to the people when they returned: "Adopt tranquility!" Meanwhile, he held back his she-camel till he entered Muhassir, which is part of Mina, and said: "Get the Khadhf pebbles whereby the Jamrah is thrown." [In a version]: He did not mention: And he added: As the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand like a person engaging in Khadhf..

Commentary : Tranquility and solemnity are among the commendable traits encouraged by the Shariah, especially in worship and such situations that entail displaying them more than any other time, like Hajj, given that there are plenty of people and crowdedness therein, which requires moderateness in walking to avoid hurting others.
In this Hadīth, Al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) mentions that he was riding behind the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount during the season of Hajj at the end of the day of ‘Arafah, which is the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, at the time of heading to Muzdalifah, and "on the evening of ‘Arafah"; it is said: It occurs after sunset, for this is the time of the Imām's departure and the time of breaking the fast. It is also said: It is the time of standing from the afternoon to the dawn of the day of Nahr, for this is a time in which people stand at ‘Arafah and come to it in this manner. And it is said: The evening extends from noon to sunset. ‘Arafah is a name for the well-known area where the pilgrims must stand on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Jam 'is Muzdalifah. It is a valley located between the two Mashā‘ir of Mina and 'Arafāt, and the pilgrims stay there after leaving 'Arafāt, and then they perform therein the Maghrib and 'Ishā' prayers, combined and shortened, and they collect from it the pebbles for throwing Jamarāt at Mina. The pilgrims stay there till the morning of the next day, the day of Eid al-Ad'ha, after which they head to Mina.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people: "Adopt tranquility!" This is a Prophetic instruction on etiquette and Sunnah related to departing from 'Arafah and Muzdalifah, which also applies to all crowded situations. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prevented his she-camel from hastening amid crowds and made his mount move slowly. Thus, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) set a practical example of walking with calmness and tranquility and without hastening in crowdedness. He proceeded in this manner until he entered the valley of Muhassir, a small valley passing between and separating Mina and Muzdalifah.
When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the valley of Muhassir, he instructed the people on the size of the pebbles they should collect; he said: "Get the Khadhf pebbles", and these are small pebbles similar to the seeds of beans. In another version: "As the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand like a person engaging in Khadhf." This is intended for clarification and greater demonstration of the size of the pebbles to be thrown at the Jamarāt and that they should be small, like the Khadhf pebbles. It is not intended that the throwing should be in the manner of Khadhf, which is done with the tips of the forefinger and the thumb.
Then, Al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) informed: that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kept proclaiming Talbiyah till he finished the throwing of Jamrat al-‘Aqabah on the day of Nahr, which is the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah. Thereupon, he stopped Talbiyah. This is the largest Jamrah, which lies to the west of Mina in the direction of Makkah. The wording of Talbiyah reads: "Labbayka allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharīka laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa an-ni‘mata laka wal-mulk, la sharīka lak (Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at Your service; here I am at Your service, You have no partner, here I am at Your service. Indeed, the praise, the favor, and the dominion belong to You. You have no partner)." The time of Talbiyah begins upon the assumption of Ihrām for Hajj or ‘Umrah.
The Hadīth demonstrates how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would care about people and direct them in such situations where needed.
It indicates that the pebbles should be small and they should be thrown gently, so as not to hurt people with strong throwing or large pebbles..

1283
‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Yazīd reported: that ‘Abdullāh proclaimed Talbiyah when he departed from Jam‘. So, it was said: "Is this a Bedouin?" Thereupon, ‘Abdullāh said: "Have people forgotten or gone astray?! I heard the one to whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed say in this place: Labbayka allahumma labbayk (Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at Your service).".

Commentary : Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam, and it is an act of worship for those who can find a way to it. Its pillars, Sunnahs, and etiquettes must be taken from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
In this Hadīth, the Tābi‘i ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Yazīd informs that ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) proclaimed Talbiyah when he departed from Jam‘, which is Muzdalifah. It is the third among the sacred Mashā‘ir by which the pilgrims pass and is located between Mina and ‘Arafāt. The pilgrims stay there after leaving ‘Arafāt at the end of the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, and then they perform therein the Maghrib and ‘Ishā’ prayers, combined and shortened, and they collect from it the pebbles for throwing Jamarāt at Mina. The pilgrims stay there till the morning of the following day, the day of Eid al-Ad'ha, after which they head to Mina. The wording of Talbiyah - according to a Hadīth reported by Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated in the Two Sahīh Collections - reads: "Labbayka allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharīka laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa an-ni‘mata laka wa al-mulk, la sharīka lak (Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at Your service; here I am at Your service, You have no partner, here I am at Your service. Indeed, the praise, the favor, and the dominion belong to You. You have no partner)." When the people heard him proclaiming Talbiyah in this place and at this time, they expressed disapproval of his Talbiyah and thought that he was a Bedouin from the dwellers of the desert who had no understanding or knowledge about the rulings of the religion. Al-Bayhaqi narrated in Al-Kubra Collection: "They said: O Bedouin, this is not a day for Talbiyah; it is a day for Takbīr." Expressing disapproval of those who criticized his Talbiyah upon departing from Muzdalifah, ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Have people forgotten or gone astray?!" In other words, have those people forgotten the Prophet's Sunnah in Talbiyah in a situation like this and therefore they criticized it, or they have knowingly abandoned the Sunnah?! Then, He said: "I heard the one to whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed" - meaning the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) - "say in this place: Labbayka allahumma labbayk (Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at Your service)" i.e., I repeat my response to You in complying with Your command to perform Hajj, and I observe Your command time and again. He mentioned Surat al-Baqarah in particular because most of the rulings on the rituals occur therein. So, it is as if he said: This is the practice of the one to whom the rituals were revealed, from whom the Shariah was taken, and who clarified the rulings; so, adopt it.
The Hadīth mentions that Talbiyah is to be proclaimed in Muzdalifah.
It shows how the Companions used to teach people and remind them of the Sunnah of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)..
