Hajj - Animal of Sacrifice to be Slaughtered inside Haram (Ahadith 1452 - 1462)

hadith no 1452
Published on March 30, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 752:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan (radiallaahu `anhumaa):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) set out from Medina with over one thousand of his companions (at the time of the Treaty of Hudaibiya) and when they reached Dhul-Hulaifa, the Prophet garlanded his Hadi and marked it and assumed Ihram for 'Umra.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 753:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I twisted with my own hands the garlands for the Budn of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) who garlanded and marked them, and then made them proceed to Mecca; Yet no permissible thing was regarded as illegal for him then.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 754:
Narrated Hafsa (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I said, "O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)! What is wrong with the people, they have finished their Ihram but you have not?" He said, "I matted my hair and I have garlanded my Hadi, so I will not finish my Ihram till I finished my Hajj ."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 755:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) used to send the Hadi from Medina and I used to twist the garlands for his Hadi and he did not keep away from any of these things which a Muhrim keeps away from.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 756:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I twisted the garlands for the Hadis of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and then he marked and garlanded them (or I garlanded them) and then made them proceed to the Ka'ba but he remained in Medina and no permissible thing was regarded as illegal for him then .
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 757:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abu Bakr bin 'Amr bin Hazm
that 'Amra bint 'Abdur-Rahman had told him, "Zaid bin Abu Sufyan wrote to 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa) that 'Abdullah bin Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) had stated, 'Whoever sends his Hadi (to the Ka'ba), all the things which are illegal for a (pilgrim) become illegal for that person till he slaughters it (i.e. till the 10th of Dhul-Hijja).' " 'Amra added, 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa) said, 'It is not like what Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) had said: I twisted the garlands of the Hadis of Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) with my own hands. Then Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) put them round their necks with his own hands, sending them with my father; Yet nothing permitted by Allah was considered illegal for Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) till he slaughtered the Hadis.' "
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 758:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
Once the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) sent sheep as Hadi.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 759:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I used to make the garlands for (the Hadis of) the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and he would garland the sheep (with them) and would stay with his family as a non-Muhrim.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 760:
Narrated Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I used to twist the garlands for the sheep of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and he would send them (to the Ka'ba), and stay as a non-Muhrim.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 761:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I twisted (the garlands) for the Hadis of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) before he assumed Ihram.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 762:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
I twisted the garlands of the Hadis from the wool which was with me.
The hadiy (sacrifice) is that which the pilgrim gives as a gift (yahdeehi) to the Ancient House. It is one of the “al-an’aam” animals, i.e., sheep, cattle or camels, which he brings with him before entering ihraam. One of the differences between the one who does Tamattu’ and the one who does Qiraan is that the one who does Qiraan does not exit ihraam after finishing his ‘Umrah; he remains in ihraam until the eighth of Dhu’l-Hijjah, which is the day when he enters the intention for Hajj. 
The Sunnah is to slaughter the sacrifice on the day of Eid, which is the tenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah. 
It was narrated from Saalim ibn ‘Abd-Allaah that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “During his last Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed ‘Umrah and then Hajj. He drove a Hadiy (sacrificial animal) along with him… then he went to Safa and Marwa and ran between them seven times and did not do any deed forbidden because of Ihraam, until he finished his Hajj and sacrificed his Hadiy on the day of Nahr (the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah). He then hastened onwards (to Makkah) and performed Tawaaf of the Ka'bah, and then everything that was forbidden because of Ihraam became permissible.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1606, Muslim, 1227) 
The place where the hadiy should be slaughtered is in Makkah, because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) slaughtered his hadiy in Makkah, not in Madeenah or in any other place. The scholars have stated that, and said: It is obligatory to slaughter the hadiy of tamattu’ and qiraan, and the hadiy offered to compensate for omitting an obligatory part of Hajj, in Makkah. Allaah has stated that with reference to the penalty for hunting in ihraam, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“the penalty is an offering, brought to the Ka‘bah, of an eatable animal (i.e. sheep, goat, cow) equivalent to the one he killed”
[al-Maa’idah 5:95]
If a specific place is mentioned, it is not permissible to change it to somewhere else, rather it must be done in that place. So the hadiy must be slaughtered in Makkah, and distributed in Makkah. If it so happens that he cannot find anyone to accept it in Makkah, which is an assumption that may be impossible, then there is nothing wrong with slaughtering it in Makkah and sending the meat to anyone who needs it in the Muslim lands, the closest then the next closest, or where the need is greatest. 
Reference: Daleel al-Akhta’ allati yaqa’a fiha al-Haaj wa’l-Mu’tamir (mistakes made by pilgrims performing Hajj and ‘Umrah).
Slaughtering the sacrifice in Muzdalifah or in Makkah or in Mina is all permissible; it is permissible to slaughter the sacrificial animal (hadiy) anywhere that is within the boundaries of the Haram, and there is nothing wrong with it, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “All the ravines of Makkah are roads and a place of sacrifice.” End quote.

Hajj - Animal of Sacrifice to be Brought from Outside Haram (Hadith No. 1451)

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 751:
Narrated Nafi':
'Abdullah (bin 'Abdullah) bin 'Umar said to his father, "Stay here, for I am afraid that it (affliction between Ibn Zubair and Al-Hajjaj) might prevent you from reaching the Ka'ba." Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "(In this case) I would do the same as Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) did, and Allah has said, 'Verily, in Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam), you have a good example (to follow).' So, I make you, people, witness that I have made 'Umra compulsory for me." So he assumed lhram for 'Umra. Then he went out and when he reached Al-Baida', he assumed Ihram for Hajj and 'Umra (together) and said, "The conditions (requisites) of Hajj and 'Umra are the same." He, then brought a Hadi from Qudaid. Then he arrived (at Mecca) and performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) once for both Hajj and 'Umra and did not finish the lhram till he had finished both Hajj and 'Umra.
A similar Hadith has been covered before. Read it here.
According to the commentator Ibn Battaal, Imaam Bukhari mentioned this Hadith here in order to show the opinion of Ibn `Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) concerning the hadi (animal of sacrifice). He used to say that the hadi has to be bought/brought from outside of the boundaries of haram. And in later posts, we'll see that it must be sacrificed inside haram.

It is not Sunnah if you have done ‘Umrah to buy a sheep and slaughter it; the Sunnah is to bring a sheep with you from your country or at least from the miqaat or the closest point outside the sanctuary, according to some scholars, and this is called driving the hadiy. But offering a sacrifice after ‘Umrah without having brought the animal with you is not part of the Sunnah. End quote.

Hajj - Summary of Events (Hadith No. 1450)

Bismillah.
This here is a brilliant summary of the events of Hajj. May Allah reward `Abdullah ibn `Umar and other companions who have narrated such detailed accounts of the incidents that took place in Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)'s life. I sometimes try to imagine what it would be like if the Quran and Sunnah weren't preserved like they are right now.. I fail to imagine.
May Allah join us with them (prophets, companions, martyr, truthful ones, righteous ones) in Jannah. I, for one, would love to sit down with them and hear about their life stories from them. If autographs would be the 'thing' in Jannah, I wouldn't mind taking a few (read: a lot!). And if it'd be cool to 'party' with them, I'd love to be the host. May Allah take us all there.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 750:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu):
During the last Hajj (Hajj-al-Wada') of Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) he performed 'Umra and Hajj. He drove a Hadi along with him from Dhul-Hulaifa. Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) started by assuming Ihram for'Umra and Hajj. And the people, too, performed the 'Umra and Hajj along with the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam). Some of them brought the Hadi and drove it along with them, while the others did not. So, when the Prophet arrived at Mecca. he said to the people, "Whoever among you has driven the Hadi, should not finish his Ihram till he completes his Hajj. And whoever among you has not (driven) the Hadi with him, should perform Tawaf of the Ka'ba and the Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, then cut short his hair and finish his Ihram, and should later assume Ihram for Hajj; but he must offer a Hadi (sacrifice); and if anyone cannot afford a Hadi, he should fast for three days during the Hajj and seven days when he returns home. The Prophet performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba on his arrival (at Mecca); he touched the (Black Stone) corner first of all and then did Ramal (fast walking with moving of the shoulders) during the first three rounds round the Ka'ba, and during the last four rounds he walked. After finishing Tawaf of the Ka'ba, he offered a two Rakat prayer at Maqam Ibrahim, and after finishing the prayer he went to Safa and Marwa and performed seven rounds of Tawaf between them and did not do any deed forbidden because of Ihram, till he finished all the ceremonies of his Hajj and sacrificed his Hadi on the day of Nahr (10th day of Dhul-Hijja). He then hastened onwards (to Mecca) and performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba and then everything that was forbidden because of Ihram became permissible. Those who took and drove the Hadi with them did the same as Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) did.

Hajj - Ridin' the Animal of Sacrifice (Ahadith 1448 - 1449)

animal
Published on March 27, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 748:
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) saw a man driving his Badana (sacrificial camel). He said, "Ride on it." The man said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Ride on it." And on the second or the third time he (the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)) added, "Woe to you."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 749:
Narrated Anas (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) saw a man driving a Badana. He said, "Ride on it." The man replied, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said (again), "Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said thrice, "Ride on it."
What do you say to a person who doesn't listen to you even when you give him an instruction three times? Answer: woe to you! (It has various interesting translations in Urdu btw.) :P
Coming to the point, one may ride the animal he/she is going to use as hadi (sacrificial animal for Hajj). There are certain conditions as to the minimum age of the animal. In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, it says:
The shar’i evidence indicates that what is acceptable in the case of sheep is that which has reached the age of six months; in the case of goats it is that which has reached the age of one year; in the case of cattle it is that which has reached the age of two years; and in the case of camels it is that which has reached the age of five years. Anything younger than that is not acceptable as a hadiy or udhiyah. This is what is meant by “a Hady such as you can afford,” because the texts from the Qur'aan and Sunnah explain one another.
And Allah is the source of strength; may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.

Hajj Tamattu` - Differences in Opinions (Hadith No. 1447)

bukhari
Published on March 25, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 747:
Narrated Abu Jamra:
I asked Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) about Hajj-at-Tamattu'. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi (sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with the others." It seemed that some people disliked it (Hajj-at-Tamattu). I slept and dreamt as if a person was announcing: "Hajj Mabrur and accepted Mut'ah (Hajj-At-Tamattu')" I went to Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) and narrated it to him. He said, "Allah is Greater. (That was) the tradition of Abu Al-Qasim (i.e. Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)). Narrated Shu'ba that the call in the dream was. "An accepted 'Umra and Hajj-Mabrur. "
So Ibn `Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) ordered Abu Jamra  (the narrator) to perform Hajj Tamattu`, even though some of the companions used to advise against it. Abu Jamra did perform Tamattu` and saw his dream in which he was told his Hajj was accepted. When he told this to Ibn `Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu), he affirmed it by saying that Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) preferred Tamattu` as well.
Lesson: people may have their opinions and reasons, and they may be very genuine. But when you know the opinion and preference of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam), just go with it!

Hajj - Talbiyah [contd. II] (Ahadith 1445 - 1446)

bukhari
Published on March 23, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 745:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) made Al-Fadl (radiallaahu `anhu) ride behind him, and Al-Fadl (radiallaahu `anhu) informed that he (the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)) kept on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of the Jamra. (Jamrat-al-Aqaba.)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 746:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "Usama bin Zaid (radiallaahu `anhu) rode behind the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) from 'Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina, Al-Fadl (radiallaahu `anhu) rode behind him." He added, "Both of them (Usama (radiallaahu `anhu) and Al-Fadl (radiallaahu `anhu)) said, 'The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) was constantly reciting Talbiya till he did Rami of the Jamarat-al-'Aqaba."
The basic lesson is that Talbiyah is to be recited throughout the days of Hajj, till Rami. We had already established this in earlier posts.
I'd like to point out to something else as well. Did you notice how the companions used to 'stalk' the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam). His smallest movements and actions are reported by them. SubhanAllah, they were the true 'fans' of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam). They were the true lovers. Our love and devotion ends where we've learnt about our faraa'id (obligations). And we have no wish to find out anything beyond that.. his habits, likes and dislikes, his preferences, things that would make him happy/sad/angry. We're no lovers. We're.. losers. -_-

Prayers in Muzdalifah (Ahadith 1442 - 1444)

bukhari
Published on March 22, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 742:
Narrated Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu):
I never saw the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) offering any prayer not at its stated time except two; he prayed the Maghrib and the 'Isha' together and he offered the morning prayer before its usual time.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 743:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid
I went out with 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu), to Mecca and when we proceeded to am' he offered the two prayers (the Maghrib and the 'Isha') together, making the Adhan and Iqama separately for each prayer. He took his supper in between the two prayers. He offered the Fajr prayer as soon as the day dawned. Some people said, "The day had dawned (at the time of the prayer)," and others said, "The day had not dawned." 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) then said, "Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, 'These two prayers have been shifted from their stated times at this place only (at Al-Muzdalifa); first: The Maghrib and the 'Isha'. So the people should not arrive at Al-Muzdalifa till the time of the 'Isha' prayer has become due. The second prayer is the morning prayer which is offered at this hour.' " Then 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) stayed there till it became a bit brighter. He then said, "If the chief of the believers hastened onwards to Mina just now, then he had indeed followed the Sunna." I do not know which proceeded the other, his ('Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu)'s) statement or the departure of 'Uthman (radiallaahu `anhu). Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) was reciting Talbiya till he threw pebbles at the Jamrat-al-'Aqaba on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering) (that is the 10th of Dhul-Hijja).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 744:
Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:
I saw 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu), offering the Fajr (morning) prayer at Jam'; then he got up and said, "The pagans did not use to depart (from Jam') till the sun had risen, and they used to say, 'Let the sun shine on Thabir (a mountain).' But the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) contradicted them and departed from Jam' before sunrise."
  1. Combine Maghrib and `Ishaa' with one adhaan and two iqaamahs.
  2. Pray Fajr early.
Some pilgrims pray Fajr before its time, praying and leaving. This is a serious mistake, because prayer offered before its time is not accepted, rather it is haraam because it is overstepping the limits set by Allaah. Prayers are to offered at set times, the beginning and end of which are defined in sharee’ah, so it is not permissible for anyone to offer a prayer before its time begins. 
The pilgrim has to pay attention to this matter, and not pray Fajr until after he is certain or thinks it most likely that the time for Fajr has begun. It is true that he should hasten to pray Fajr in Muzdalifah, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did that, but that does not mean that he should pray it before its time begins. The pilgrim should beware of doing that.
Other mistakes made by pilgrims on the way to and in Muzdalifah here.

Hajj - Women & Weak Ones (Ahadith 1436 - 1441)

Published on March 21, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 736:
Narrated Salim:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) used to send the weak among his family early to Mina. So they used to depart from Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram (that is Al-Muzdalifa) at night (when the moon had set) and invoke Allah as much as they could, and then they would return (to Mina) before the Imam had started from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina. So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr prayer and some of them would come later. When they reached Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat-al-Aqaba) Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) used to say, "Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) gave the permission to them (weak people) to do so."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 737:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) had sent me from Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) at night.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 738:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
I as among those whom the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) sent on the night of Al-Muzdalifa early being among the weak members of his family.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 739:
Narrated 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu): (the slave of Asma' (radiallaahu `anhaa))
During the night of Jam', Asma' (radiallaahu `anhaa) got down at Al-Muzdalifa and stood up for (offering) the prayer and offered the prayer for some time and then asked, "O my son! Has the moon set?" I replied in the negative and she again prayed for another period and then asked, "Has the moon set?" I replied, "Yes." So she said that we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat-al-Aqaba) and then she returned to her dwelling place and offered the morning prayer. I asked her, "O you! I think we have come (to Mina) early in the night." She replied, "O my son! Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) gave permission to the women to do so."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 740:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
Sauda (radiallaahu `anhaa) asked the permission of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) to leave earlier at the night of Jam', and she was a fat and very slow woman. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) gave her permission.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 741:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
We got down at Al-Muzdalifa and Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) to leave (early) before the rush of the people. She was a slow woman and he gave her permission, so she departed (from Al-Muzdalifa) before the rush of the people. We kept on staying at Al-Muzdalifa till dawn, and set out with the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) but (I suffered so much that) I wished I had taken the permission of Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) as Sauda (radiallaahu `anhaa) had done, and that would have been dearer to me than any other happiness.
It is permissible for women to leave Muzdalifah before dawn, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) allowed some women, especially those who were weak, to leave Muzdalifah after the moon had set at the end of the night. That was so that they could stone Jamarat al-‘Aqabah before it became crowded.
 It is permissible to delay stoning the Jamrah until the night, if the woman’s guardian thinks that the crowding is too great around Jamrat al-‘Aqabah and that this may pose a danger to the women who are with him. So it is permissible to delay their stoning of the Jamrah until the crowding is less or has stopped, and there is nothing wrong with them doing that. 
The same applies with regard to stoning of the Jamaraat during the three days of Tashreeq, when women can stone them after ‘Asr, which is the time when the crowding is a lot less, as is well known. If that is not possible then there is nothing wrong with them delaying it until the night.
More on rulings that apply to only women in Hajj here.

Hajj – Muzdalifah (Ahadith 1433 – 1435)

Published on March 19, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 733:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) offered the Maghrib and ‘Isha’ prayers together at Jam’ (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) with a separate Iqama for each of them and did not offer any optional prayer in between them or after each of them.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 734:
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) offered the Maghrib and ‘Isha’ prayers together at Al-Muzdalifa.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 735:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid:
‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) performed the Hajj and we reached Al-Muzdalifa at or about the time of the ‘Isha’ prayer. He ordered a man to pronounce the Adhan and Iqama and then he offered the Maghrib prayer and offered two Rakat after it. Then he asked for his supper and took it, and then, I think, he ordered a man to pronounce the Adhan and Iqama (for the ‘isha’ prayer). (‘Amr, a sub-narrator said: The intervening statement ‘I think’, was said by the sub-narrator Zuhair) (i.e. not by ‘Abdu-Rahman). Then ‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) offered two Rakat of ‘Isha’ prayer. When the day dawned, ‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) said, “The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) never offered any prayer at this hour except this prayer at this time and at this place and on this day.” ‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) added, “These two prayers are shifted from their actual times — the Maghrib prayer (is offered) when the people reached Al-Muzdalifa and the Fajr (morning) prayer at the early dawn.” ‘Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) added, “I saw the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) doing that.”
When the sun sets, the pilgrim should go to Muzdalifah. When he reaches there, he should pray Maghrib and ‘Isha’ with one adhaan and two iqaamahs. If he fears that he will not reach Muzdalifah before midnight, he should pray on the way, because it is not permissible to delay ‘Isha’ prayer until after midnight.
He should stay overnight in Muzdalifah, then when dawn comes he should pray Fajr early, with the adhaan and iqaamah, and then head for al-Mash’ar al-Haraam (which is the site of the mosque in Muzdalifah) and proclaim the oneness and greatness of Allaah (by saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah and Allaahu akbar), and making du’aa’ as he likes, until it has become very light (i.e., when the light of day appears before the sun has actually risen). If it is not easy for him to go to al-Mash’ar al-Haraam, he should make du’aa’ where he is, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood there and all of Muzdalifah is the place of standing. When he is reciting dhikr and making du’aa’ he should face the qiblah and raise his hands.

Hajj - `Arafaat and the Journey to Muzdalifah (Ahadith 1421 - 1432)

hadith no 1421
Published on March 18, 2013 By

Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 721:
Narrated Muhammad bin Abu Bakr Al-Thaqafi:
I asked Anas bin Malik (radiallaahu `anhu) while we were proceeding from Mina to 'Arafat, "What do you use to do on this day when you were with Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)?" Anas (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "Some of us used to recite Talbiya and nobody objected to that, and others used to recite Takbir and nobody objected to that."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 722:
Narrated Salim:
'Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) during Hajj. On the Day of 'Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) came along with me and shouted near Al-Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with safflower, and said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?" He said, If you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to 'Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "At this very hour?" Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "Yes." He replied, "Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a bath) and come out." Then Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu)). I said to him, "If you want to follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at 'Arafat." He started looking at 'Abdullah (Ibn 'Umar) (radiallaahu `anhu) (inquiringly), and when 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 723:
Narrated Um Al-Fadl bint Al Harith (radiallaahu `anhaa):
On the day of 'Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 724:
Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) in all the ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of 'Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hajja), and after the sun has deviated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) came and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, "Where is he?" Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "Let us proceed (to 'Arafat)." Al-Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) replied, "Yes." Al-Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till I pour water on me (i.e. take a bath)." So, Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out. He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, "If you want to follow the Sunna today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at 'Arafat)." Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "He (Salim) has spoken the truth."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 725:
Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im:
My father said, "(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same narration is told by a different sub-narrator. Jubair bin Mut'im (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "My camel was lost and I went out in search of it on the day of 'Arafat, and I saw the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) standing in 'Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the Hums (literally: strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as they used to say, 'We are the people of Allah we shall not go out of the sanctuary). What has brought him here?"
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 726:
Narrated 'Urwa:
During the pre-lslamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka'ba naked except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did not give clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka'ba naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse) directly from 'Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. 'Urwa added, "My father narrated that 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa) had said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then depart from the place whence all the people depart--(2.199) 'Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to 'Arafat (by Allah's order)."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 727:
Narrated 'Urwa:
Usama (radiallaahu `anhu) was asked in my presence, "How was the speed of (the camel of) Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) while departing from 'Arafat during the Hajjatul Wada?" Usama (radiallaahu `anhu) replied, "The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) proceeded on with a modest pace, and when there was enough space he would (make his camel) go very fast."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 728:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid (radiallaahu `anhu):
As soon as the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) departed from 'Arafat, he went towards the mountain pass, and there he answered the call of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at asked, "O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)! Will you offer the prayer here?" He replied, "(The place of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 729:
Narrated Nafi':
'Abdullah bin 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) used to offer the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together at Jam' (Al-Muzdalifa). But he used to pass by that mountain pass where Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) went, and he would enter it and answer the call of nature and perform ablution, and would not offer any prayer till he had prayed at Jam.'
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 730:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid (radiallaahu `anhu)
rode behind Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) from 'Arafat and when Allah's Apostle reached the mountain pass on the left side which is before Al-Muzdalifa he made his camel kneel and then urinated, and then I poured water for his ablution. He performed light ablution and then I said to him: (Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)!" He replied, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)." So Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) rode till he reached Al-Muzdalifa and then he offered the prayer (there) . Then in the morning (10th Dhul-Hijja) Al-Fadl (bin Abbas) (radiallaahu `anhu) rode behind Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam). Kuraib, (a sub-narrator) said that 'Abdullah bin Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu) narrated from Al-Fadl (radiallaahu `anhu), "Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) kept on reciting Talbiya (during the journey) till he reached the Jamra." (Jamrat-al-Aqaba)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 731:
Narrated Ibn Abbas. (radiallaahu `anhu):
I proceeded along with the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) on the day of 'Arafat (9th Dhul-Hijja). The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) heard a great hue and cry and the beating of camels behind him. So he beckoned to the people with his lash, "O people! Be quiet. Hastening is not a sign of righteousness."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 732:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) proceeded from 'Arafat and dismounted at the mountainous pass and then urinated and performed a light ablution. I said to him, "(Shall we offer) the prayer?" He replied, "The prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)." When he came to Al-Muzdalifa, he performed a perfect ablution. Then Iqama for the prayer was pronounced and he offended the Maghrib prayer and then every person made his camel kneel at his place; and then Iqama for the prayer was pronounced and he offered the ('Isha') prayer and he did not offer any prayer in between them (i.e. Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers).
  1. Talbiyah or Takbir is to be recited during the Hajj days (including 9th Dhul-Hijjah).
  2. Fasting on the 9th is mustahab (recommended).
  3. When the sun rises on the day of ‘Arafah, the pilgrim travels from Mina to ‘Arafah and stops in Namirah until the time of Zuhr (Namirah is a place just before ‘Arafah), if he can do so. If he cannot do it, it does not matter because staying in Namirah is Sunnah but it is not obligatory. When the sun passes its zenith (i.e., when the time for Zuhr prayer begins), he should pray Zuhr and ‘Asr, two rak’ahs each, and join them together at the time of Zuhr, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did, so as to leave a lot of time for standing and making du’aa’.
    Then after the prayer he should devote his time to making dhikr and du’aa’ and beseeching Allaah, and praying as he likes, raising his hands and facing the qiblah even if the mountain of ‘Arafah is behind him, because the Sunnah is to face the qiblah, not the mountain. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood by the mountain and said, “I am standing here, but all of ‘Arafah is the place of standing.”
    Most of the Prophet’s du’aa’ in that great place of standing was: “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk, wa lahu’l-hamd, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god but Allaah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, all praise is due to Him, and He is able to do all things).”
    If the pilgrim gets tired and wants to have a break by talking to his companions about useful things or by reading from some useful books, especially things that have to do with the generosity and great bounty of Allaah, in order to increase his hopes on that day, this is good.  Then he can go back to beseeching Allaah and praying to Him. He should strive to make the most of the end of the day by making du’aa’. The best of du’aa’ is du’aa’ made on the day of ‘Arafah. 
  4. When the sun sets, the pilgrim should go to Muzdalifah. When he reaches there, he should pray Maghrib and ‘Isha’ with one adhaan and two iqaamahs. If he fears that he will not reach Muzdalifah before midnight, he should pray on the way, because it is not permissible to delay ‘Isha’ prayer until after midnight.
