بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful.
Jafar bin Muhammadرحمة الله عليه reported on the authority of
his father : We went to Jabir bin Abdullahرضى الله عنه and he
began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till
it was my turn. I said : I am Muhammad bin Ali bin Hussain. He
placed his hand upon my head and opened my upper button
and then the lower one and then placed his palm on my chest
(in order to bless me), and I was, during those days, a young
boy. He said : You are welcome, my nephew ask whatever you
want to ask. And I asked him but as he was blind (he could not
respond to me immediately), and the time for Salah came. He
stood up covering himself in his mantel. And whenever he placed
its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being
short (in size). Another mantel was, however, lying on the clothes
rack nearby. And he led us in Salah. I said to him : Tell me about
the Hajj of Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم. He pointed with his hand
nine, and then stated : Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم stayed in Madina
for 9 years but did not perform Hajj, then he made a public
announcement in the 10th year to the effect that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of people came
to Madina, and all of them were anxious to follow Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم
and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached
Dhul Hulaifah. Asma bint Umais gave birth to Muhammad bin
Abu Bakr. She sent a message to Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم asking
him what should I do? He صلى الله عليه وسلم said : Take a bath, bandage
your private parts and put on Ihram. Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم then
prayed in the Masjid and then mounted His she-camel Qaswa. As it
stood erect with him on its back at Al-Baida. And I saw as far as I
could see in front of me but riders and pedestrians, and also on my
right and on my left and behind me like this. And Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم
was prominent among us and Wahi of the Qu'ran was descending
upon him. And it is he who knows (its true) significance. And whatever
he did, we also did that.
He pronounced the Oneness of Allah Ta'ala
(saying) : Talbiya,'' Labbaik , ''Here I am! O Allah. At Your service
Here I am! Thou hast no partner, Praise and Grace in Thine and
Sovereignty too ; Thou hast no partner''.
And the people also invoked in the Name of Allah which they invoke
(today). Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم adhered to his own invocation.
Jabirرضى الله عنه said : We did not have any other intention but that
of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umra (at that season), but when
we came with him to the Ka'bah, he touched the pillar(Hajarul Aswad)
and (made 7 circuits) running 3 of them and walking 4. And then going
to the Maqama-e-Ibrahim, he recited : ''And adopt the Maqam-e-Ibrahim
as a place of Salah''. And this station was between him and the Ka'bah.
My father said : (and I do know whether he had mentioned it but that
was from Allah's Apostleصلى الله عليه وسلم that he recited in two bows
(rukus): ''Say: He is Allah One'' (Surah 112), and say: ''Say: O unbelievers''
(Surah 109). He then returned to the Hajarul Aswad and kissed it. He
then went out of the gate to As-Safa and as he reached near it he recited:
As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah'' (Surah
2: 158), (adding): I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin.
He first mounted As-Safa till he saw the House, and facing Qibla he
declared the Oneness of Allah and glorified Him, and said: ''There is no
god but Allah, One there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty,
to Him praise is due, and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god
but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed
the confederates alone''. He then made supplication in the course of that
saying such words three times. He then descended and walked towards
Al-Marwa, and when his feet came down in the bottom of the valley, he
ran, and when he began to ascend he walked till he reached Al-Marwa.
There he did as he done at As-Safa. And when it was his last running at
Al-Marwa he said: If I had known beforehand what I have come to know
afterwards, I would not have not have brought sacrificial animals and would
have performed an Umrah. So he who among you has not the sacrificial
animals with him should put off Ihram and treat it as an Umrah. Suraqa bin
Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present
year, or does it apply forever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم
intertwined fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice : The Umrah
has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding): ''No, but forever and ever''.
Aliرضى الله عنه came from Yemen with the Sacrificial animals for the
Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم and found Fathimahرضى الله عنها to be one among
those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied
antimony. He (Aliرضى الله عنه ) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she
said: My father has commanded me to do this. He (the narrator) said that
Aliرضى الله عنه used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم
gently reproofing at Fathimahرضى الله عنها for what she had done, and asked
the (verdict) of Allah's Messengerصلى الله عليه وسلم regarding what she had
narrated from him, and told him that I was angry with her, whereupon he
said: She has told the truth, she has told the truth. ( Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم then
asked Aliرضى الله عنه): What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj?
(Aliرضى الله عنه) said: O Allah, I am putting on Ihram for the same purpose
as Thy Messenger has put it on. He said: I have with me sacrificial animals,
so do not put off the Ihram. He (Jabirرضى الله عنه) said: The total number of
those sacrificial animals brought by Aliرضى الله عنه from Yemen and of those
brought by Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم was one hundred. Then all the people, except
Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put off
Ihram, and got their hair clipped.
When it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhul-Hijja) they went to Mina and put
on the Ihram for Hajj and the Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم rode and led
the noon(Zuhar), afternoon(Asr), sunset(Magrib), Isha' and dawn prayers(Fajr).
He then waited a little till the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should
be pitched at Namira. The Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم then set out and
Quraish did not doubt that he would halt at Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram (the Sacred site)
as Quraish used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم,
however, passed on till he came to Arafah and he found that the tent has been
pitched for him at Namira. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian;
he commended that al-Qaswa should be brought and saddled for him.
Then he came to the bottom of the valley, and addressed the people saying: Verily
your blood, your property are as sacred and inviolable as the sacredness of this day
of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours. Behold! Everything pertain-
ing to the Days of Ignorance is under my feet completely abolished. Abolished are
also the blood-revenges of the Days of Ignorance. The first claim of ours on blood-
revenge which I abolish is that of the son of Rabi'a bin Al-Harith, who was nursed
among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Huthail. And the usury of the pre-Islamic period
is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolish is that of Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib,
for it is all abolished. Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on
the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by
words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone
to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them
but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food
and clothing in a fitting manner. I have left among you the Book of Allah(Al-Qur'an
and Sunnah), and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be
asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), (now tell me) what would you say?
They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message),
discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He
(the narrator) said: He (Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم) then raised his forefinger towards the
sky and pointed it at the people (said): ''O Allah! be witness. O Allah! be witness'',
saying it thrice.
(Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later he uttered the Iqamah and (Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم)
led the noon(Zuhar) prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered the Iqamah and he (Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلم)
led the afternoon (Asr) prayer and he prayed no other prayer in between the two. The
Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم then mounted his camel and came to the Situation,
making his she-camel Al-Qaswa turn towards the side where there were rocks, having
the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him, and faced the Qibla. He kept
standing there till the sunset, and the yellow light had somewhat gone, and the disc of
the sun had disappeared. He made Usama sit behind him, and pulled the nosestring of
Qaswa so forcefully that its head touched the saddle (in order to keep her under perfect
control), and he pointed out to the people with his right hand to be moderate (in speed),
and whenever he happened to pass over an elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened it
(the nosestring of his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifa.
There he led the Magrib and Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamahs and did not
glorify (Allah) in between them (i.e. he did not extol supererogatory bows between
Magrib and Isha prayers). The Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم then lay down till
dawn and offered the Fajr prayer with an Adhan and Iqamah for prayer when the morn-
ing light was clear. He again mounted Al-Qaswa, and when he came to Al-Mash'ar
Al-Haram, he faced towards Qibla, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and Pronounced
His Uniqueness (No god but Allah) and his Oneness. He kept standing till the daylight
was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was
Al-Fadl bin Abbasرضى الله عنهما, and he was a man having beautiful hair and fair comp-
lexion and handsome face. As the Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم was moving on,
there was also going a group of women (side by side with them). Al-Fadl began to look
at them. The Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم placed his hand on the face of Fadl who
then turned his face to the other side, and began to see, and the Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وسلم turned his hand to the other side and placed it on the face of Al-Fadl.
He again turned his face to the other side till he came to the bottom of Muhassir. He
urged her (Al-Qaswa) a little, and following the middle road, which comes out at the
greatest Jamra, he came to the Jamra which is near the tree. At this he threw seven
small pebbles, saying Allah(hu akbar) - The Greatest while throwing every one of
them in a manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of the fingers)
and this he did in the bottom of the valley. He then went to the place of sacrifice, and
sacrificed sixty-three (camels) with his own hand. Then he gave the remaining number
to Aliرضى الله عنه who sacrificed them, and he shared him in his sacrifice. He then
commanded that a piece of flesh from each animal sacrificed should be put in a pot,
and when it was cooked, both of them (Nabiصلى الله عليه وسلمand Aliرضى الله عنه) took
some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allahصلى الله عليه وسلم again
rode and came to the Ka'bah, and prayed the Zuhar prayer in Makkah. He came to the
tribe of Abdal-Muttalib, who were supplying water at Zam zam, and said: Draw water,
O Bani Abdal-Muttalib; would not that people usurp this right of supplying water from
you, I would have drawn it along with you. So they handed him a basket and he drank
from it. ( Sahih Muslim)
