So, (the young man) went to him and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) send you his greetings and says that you should give me the equipage that you have provided yourself with. The man said (to his wife or maidservant): So and so, give him the equipage I have collected for myself and do not withhold anything from him. Do not withhold from him so that you may be blessed therein.

The Messenger of Allah came out on the 4th or 5th of Dhul-Hijjah (for Pilgrimage to Mecca) and came to me, and he was very angry. I said: Messenger of Allah, who had annoyed you? May Allah cast him in fire! He said: Don't you know that I commanded the people to do an act, but they are hesitant.

(Hakam said: I think that he said: They seem to be hesitant.) And if I were to know my affair before what I had to do subsequently, I would not have brought with me the sacrificial animals, and would have bought them (at Mecca) and would have put off Ihram as others have done.


Book 7, Number 2791:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

We, in the state of Ihram, came with the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) for Hajj Mufrad (with the aim of Hajj only), and Aisha set out for Umrah, and when we reached Sarif, she (Aisha) entered in the state of monthly period; we proceeded on till we reached (Mecca) and circumambulated the Ka'bah and ran between (as-Safa) and al-Marwah; and the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) commanded that one who amongst us had not sacrificial animal with him should put off Ihram. We said: What does this "putting off" imply. He said: Getting out completely from the state of Ihram, (so we put off Ihram), and we turned to our wives and applied perfume and put on our clothes, and we were at a four night's distance from Arafat.

And we again put on Ihram on the day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah). The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to Aisha and found her weeping, and said: What is the matter with you? She said: The matter is that I have entered in the monthly period, and the people had put off Ihram, but I did not and I did not circumambulate the House, and the people are going for Hajj now (but I can't go), whereupon he said: It is the matter which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam, so now take a bath and put on Ihram for Hajj.

She (Aisha) did accordingly, and stayed at the places of staying till the monthly period was over. She then circumambulated the House, and (ran between) as-Safa' and al-Marwah. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: Now both your Hajj and Umrah are complete, whereupon she said: I feel in my mind that I did not circumambulated the House till I performed Hajj (I missed the circumambulation of Umrah).

Thereupon he (Allah's Apostle) said: AbdurRahman, take her to Tan'im (so as to enable her) to perform Umrah (separately), and it was the night at Hasbah.


Book 7, Number 2795:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) ordered us to put on Ihram (again) as we proceeded towards Mina after we had put it off (i.e. on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah). So we pronounced Talbiyah at al-Abtah.


Book 7, Number 2796:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

Neither Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) nor his Companions (circumambulated the Ka'bah and) ran between as-Safa and al-Marwah but once (sufficing both for Hajj and Umrah). But in the hadith transmitted by Muhammad ibn Bakr there is an addition: "That is first circumambulation."


Book 7, Number 2801:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

AbuNadrah reported: Ibn Abbas commanded the performance of Mut'ah (putting on Ihram for Umrah during the months of Dhul-Hijjah and after completing it, then putting on Ihram for Hajj), but Ibn Zubayr forbade to do it. I made a mention of it to Jabir ibn Abdullah and he said: It is through me that this hadith has been circulated. We entered into the state of Ihram as Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When Umar was installed as Caliph, he said: Verily Allah made permissible for His Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) whatever He liked and as He liked. And (every command) of the Holy Qur'an has been revealed for every occasion. So accomplish Hajj and Umrah for Allah as Allah has commanded you, and confirm by (proper conditions) the marriage of those women (with whom you have performed Mut'ah) And any person would come to me with a marriage of appointed duration (Mut'ah), I would stone him (to death). Qatadah narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters saying (That Umar also said): Separate your Hajj from Umrah , for that is the most complete Hajj, and complete your Umrah.


Book 7, Number 2803:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

Ja'far ibn Muhammad reported on the authority of his father: We went to Jabir ibn Abdullah and he began inquiring about the people (who had gone to see him) till it was my turn. I said: I am Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Husayn. 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, and 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 prayer came. He stood up covering himself in his mantle. And whenever he placed its ends upon his shoulders they slipped down on account of being short (in size). Another mantle was, however, lying on the clothes rack near by and he led us in the prayer. I said to him: Tell me about the Hajj of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) stayed in (Medina) for nine years but did not perform Hajj, then he made a public announcement in the tenth year to the effect that Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) was about to perform the Hajj. A large number of persons came to Medina and all of them were anxious to follow the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and do according to his doing. We set out with him till we reached Dhul-Hulayfah. Asma daughter of Umays gave birth to Muhammad ibn AbuBakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) asking him: What should I do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be Upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Bayda'. 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 the Messenger of Allah (may peace be him) was prominent among us and the (revelation) of the Holy Qur'an 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 (saying): "Labbayk, O Allah, Labbayk, Labbayk, Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner." And the people also pronounced this Talbiyah which they pronounce (today). The Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) did not reject anything out of it. But the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) adhered to his own Talbiyah. Jabir said: We did not have any other intention but that of Hajj only, being unaware of the Umrah (at that season), but when we came with him to the House, he touched the pillar, and (made seven circuits) running three of them and walking four. And then going to the Station of Ibrahim, he rejected: "And adopt the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." And this Station was between him and the House. My father said (and I do not know whether he had made a mention of it but that was from Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) that he recited in two rak'ahs: "say: He is Allah One, " and say: "Say : O unbelievers." He then returned to the pillar (Hajar 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-Marwah are among the signs appointed by Allah, (adding:) I begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted as-Safa' till he saw the House, and facing Qiblah 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-Marwah, 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-Marwah. There he did as he had done at as-Safa. And when it was his last running at al-Marwah he said: If I had know beforehand what I have come to know afterwards, I would 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. Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'sham got up and said: Messenger of Allah, does it apply to the present year, or does it apply for ever? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) intertwined the fingers (of one hand) into another and said twice: The `Umrah has become incorporated in the Hajj (adding): "No, but for ever and ever." Ali came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Ali) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. (The narrator) said that Ali said that Ali used to say in Iraq: I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) showing annoyance at Fatimah for what she had done, and asked the (verdict) of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) 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. (The Holy Prophet then asked Ali): What did you say when you undertook to go for Hajj? I (Ali) 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 (Jabir) said: The total number of those sacrificial animals brought by Ali from the Yemen and of those brought by the Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) was one hundred. Then all the people except the Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) and those who had with them sacrificial animals, put off Ihram, and got their hair clipped; when it was the day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah) they went to Mina and put on the Ihram for Hajj and the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) rode and led the noon, afternoon, sunset Isha' and dawn prayers. He then waited a little till the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namirah.


Book 7, Number 2803.1:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then set out and the Quraysh did not doubt that he would halt at al-Mash'ar al-Haram (the sacred site) as the Quraysh used to do in the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), however, passed on till he came to Arafat and he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namirah. There he got down till the sun had passed the meridian; he commanded 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 pertaining 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'ah ibn al-Harith, who was nursed among the tribe of Sa'd and killed by Hudhayl. And the usury of she pre-Islamic period is abolished, and the first of our usury I abolished is that of Abbas ibn AbdulMuttalib, 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 right 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, 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 (the Holy Prophet) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said): "O Allah, be witness. O Allah be witness," saying it thrice (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later on Iqamah and he (the Holy Prophet) led the noon prayer. He (Bilal) then uttered Iqamah and he (the Holy Prophet) led the afternoon prayer and he observed no other prayer in between the two. The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then mounted his camel and came to the place of stay, 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 Qiblah. He kept standing there till the sun set, and the yellow light had somewhat gone, and the disc of the sun had disappeared. He made Usamah sit behind him, and he pulled the nose-string 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 in elevated tract of sand, he slightly loosened it (the nose-string of his camel) till she climbed up and this is how he reached al-Muzdalifah. There he led the evening and Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamahs and did not glorify (Allah) in between them (i.e. he did not observe supererogatory rak'ahs between Maghrib and Isha prayers). The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then lay down till dawn and offered the dawn prayer with an Adhan and Iqamah when the morning light was clear. He again mounted al-Qaswa, and when he came to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, he faced towards Qiblah, supplicated Him, Glorified Him, and pronounced His Uniqueness (La ilaha illallah) and Oneness, and kept standing till the daylight was very clear. He then went quickly before the sun rose, and seated behind him was al-Fadl ibn Abbas, and he was a man having beautiful hair and fair complexion and handsome face. As the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was moving on, there was also going a group of women (side with them). Al-Fadl began to look at them. The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) 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 (peace_be_upon_him) 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 Jamrah, he came to the Jamrah which is near the tree. At this he threw seven small pebbles, saying AllahuAkbar while throwing every one of them in manner in which the small pebbles are thrown (with the help of 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 won hand. Then he gave the remaining number to Ali 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 (the Holy Prophet and Ali) took some meat out of it and drank its soup. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him again rode and came to the House, and offered the Zuhr prayer at Mecca. He came to the tribe of AbdulMuttalib, who were supplying water at Zamzam, and said: Draw water, O Banu AbdulMuttalib; were it not that people would 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.


Book 7, Number 2814:

Narrated AbuMusa ; Umar ibn al-Khattab:

AbuMusa used to deliver religious verdict in favour of Hajj Tamattu'. A person said to him: Exercise restraint in delivering some of your religious verdicts, for you do not know what the Commander of Believers has introduced in the rites (of Hajj) after you (when you were away in Yemen).

He (AbuMusa) met him (Umar) subsequently and asked him (about it), whereupon Umar said: I know that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) and also his Companions did that (observed Tamattu') but I do not approve that the married persons should have intercourse with their wives under the shade of the trees, and then set out for Hajj with water trickling down from their heads.


Book 7, Number 2815:

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib ; Uthman ibn Affan:

Abdullah ibn Shaqiq reported that Uthman (Allah be pleased with him) used to forbid Tamattu' whereas Ali (Allah be pleased with him) ordered to do it. Uthman said a word to Ali, but Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu; with the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear.


Book 7, Number 2817:

Narrated AbuDharr:

Tamattu' in Hajj was a special (concession) for the Companions of Muhammad (peace_be_upon_him).


Book 7, Number 2821:

Narrated Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas:

Ghunaym ibn Qays said: I asked Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas (Allah be pleased with him) about Mut'ah, whereupon he said: We did that, and it was the day when he was an unbeliever living in (one of the) houses of Mecca.


Book 7, Number 2824:

Narrated Imran ibn Husayn:

Mutarrif reported: Imran ibn Husayn said to me: Should I not narrate to you a hadith today by which Allah will benefit you subsequently--and bear in mind that Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) made some members of his family perform Umrah within ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. No verse was revealed to abrogate that, and he (the Prophet) did not refrain from doing it till he died. So after him everyone said as he liked, (but it would be his personal opinion and not the verdict of the Shari'ah).


Book 7, Number 2843:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

Nafi' thus reported on the authority of Ibn Umar: We entered into the state of Ihram with Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) for Hajj Mufrad and in the narration of Ibn Awn (the words are): "Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) entered into the state of Ihram (with the intention) of Hajj Mufrad."


Book 7, Number 2846:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

Wabarah reported: While I was sitting in the company of Ibn Umar, a person came to him and said: Is it right for me to circumambulate the House before I come to stay (at Arafat)? Ibn Umar said: Yes, whereupon he said: Ibn Abbas, however, says: Do not circumambulate the House until you come to stay at Arafat.

Thereupon Ibn Umar said: Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) performed the Hajj and circumambulated the House before coming to stay (at Arafat). If you say the Truth, is it more rightful to follow the saying of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) or the words of Ibn Abbas?


Book 7, Number 2851:

Narrated Asma' bint AbuBakr:

We set out (to Mecca) in a state of Ihram. Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who has the sacrificial animal with him should remain in the state of Ihram, but he who has not the sacrificial animal with him should put off Ihram. As I had not the sacrificial animal with me. I put off Ihram. And since Zubayr (her husband) had the sacrificial animal with him, he did not put off Ihram. She (Asma') said: I put on my clothes and then went out and sat by Zubayr, whereupon he said: Go away from me, whereupon I said: Do you fear that I would jump upon you?


Book 7, Number 2854:

Narrated Asma' bint AbuBakr:

Muslim al-Qurri reported: I asked Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) about Tamattu' in Hajj and he permitted it, whereas Ibn Zubayr had forbidden it.

He (Ibn Abbas) said: This is the mother of Ibn Zubayr who states that Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) had permitted it, so you better go to her and ask her about it.

He (Muslim al-Qurri said): So we went to her and she was a bulky blind lady and she said: Verily Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) permitted it.


Book 7, Number 2856:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Muslim al-Qurri heard Ibn Abbas (Allah be please with them) saying that Allah's Apostle (may peace be with him) entered into the state of Ihram for Umrah and his Companions for Hajj. Neither Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) nor those among his Companions who had brought sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram, whereas the rest (of the pilgrims) did so. Talhah ibn Ubaydullah was one of those who had brought the sacrificial animals along with them, so he did not put off Ihram.


Book 7, Number 2863:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: This is the Umrah of which we have taken advantage. So he who has not the sacrificial animal with him should get out of the state of Ihram completely, for Umrah has been incorporated in Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.


Book 7, Number 2867:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

AbuHassan al-A'raj reported that a person from Banu Hujaym said to Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them): What is this religious verdict of yours which has engaged the attention of the people or which has become a matter of dispute among them that he who circumambulated the House can be free from Ihram? Thereupon he said: That is the Sunnah of your Apostle (peace_be_upon_him), even though you may not approve of it.


Book 7, Number 2872:

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

We went out with Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) pronouncing loudly the Talbiyah for Hajj. When we came to Mecca, he commanded us that we should change this (Ihram for Hajj) to that of Umrah except one who had brought the sacrificial animal with him. When it was the day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah) and we went to Mina, we (again) pronounced Talbiyah for Hajj.


Book 7, Number 2873:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah ; AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

We went with Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) and we were pronouncing Talbiyah for Hajj loudly.


Book 7, Number 2874:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

AbuNadrah reported: While I was in the company of Jabir, a person came and said: There is difference of opinion among Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubayr about two Mut'ahs (benefits, Tamattu' in Hajj and temporary marriage with women), whereupon Jabir said: We have been doing this during lifetime of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him), and then Umar forbade us to do so, and we never resorted to them.


Book 7, Number 2876:

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) pronouncing Talbiyah for both simultaneously, Talbiyah for Umrah and Hajj. Talbiyah for Umrah and Hajj (he performed both Hajj and Umrah as a Qarin). In another version the words are: " I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) pronouncing Talbiyah for Umrah and Hajj (simultaneously)."


Book 7, Number 2877:

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Hanzalah al-Aslami reported: I heard AbuHurayrah (Allah be pleased with him) as narrating from Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) who said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly pronounce Talbiyah for Hajj or for Umrah or for both (simultaneously as a Qarin) in the valley of Rawha.


Book 7, Number 2896:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

Nafi' reported on the authority of Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) that Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) walked swiftly from stone to stone in three circuits and walked (normally) in four.


Book 7, Number 2898:

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

I saw Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) walking swiftly from the Black Stone till he completed three circuits up to it.


Book 7, Number 2900:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

AbuTufayl reported: I said to Ibn Abbas: Do you think that walking swiftly round the House in three circuits, and just walking in four circuits is the Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet), for your people say that it is Sunnah? Thereupon he (Ibn Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie (too). I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie (too)" imply? Thereupon he said: When Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) came to Mecca, the polytheists said that Muhammad and his companions were emaciated and would therefore be unable to circumambulate the House; and they felt jealous of him (the Holy Prophet). (It was due to this) that Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) commanded them to walk swiftly in three (circuits) and walk (normally) in four.

I said to him: Inform me if it is Sunnah to observe Tawaf between as-Safa and al-Marwah while riding, for your people look upon it as Sunnah. He (Ibn Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie too. I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie too" imply? He said: As Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) had come to Mecca, here was such a large gathering of people around him that even the virgins had come out of their houses (to catch a glimpse of his face), and they were saying: He is Muhammad; He is Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) (was so gentle and kind) that the people were not beaten back (to make way) in front of him. When there was a throng (of people) around him, he rode (the she-camel) but walking and running is, however, better.

Is it due to your poverty or due to your close-fistedness? Thereupon Ibn Abbas said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact) that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) came here riding his she-camel, and Usamah was sitting behind him. He asked for water so we gave him a cup full of nabidh and he drank it, giving the remainder to Usamah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: You have done good, you have done well.

Thereupon AbuSa'id said: Don't do that, stay in Medina, for we have come out with Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him).

(I think that he also said): When we reached Usfan, he (the Holy Prophet with his companions) stayed there for some nights. There the people said: By Allah, we are lying here idle, whereas our children are unprotected behind us, and we do not feel secure about them. This (apprehension of theirs) reached Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him), whereupon he said: What is this matter concerning you that has reached me? (I do not retain how he said it, whether he said like this:) By Him (in the name of Whom) I take an oath, (or he said like this:) By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I made up my mind or if you like (I do not remember which words he actually said), I should command my camel to proceed and not to let it halt until it comes to Medina. Then said: Ibrahim declared Mecca as the sacred territory and it became sacred, and I declare Medina as the sacred territory--the area between the two mountains (Air and Uhud). Thus no blood is to be shed within its (bounds) and no weapon is to be carried for fighting, and the leaves of the trees there should not be beaten off except for fodder. O Allah, bless us in our city; O Allah, bless us in our sa'; O Allah, bless us in our city. O Allah, bless with this blessing two more blessings. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, there is no ravine or mountain path of Medina which is not protected by two angels until you reach there.

(He then said to the people:) Proceed, and we therefore proceed until we came to Medina. By Him (in Whose name) we take an oath and (in Whose name) an oath is taken (Hammad is in doubt about it), we had hardly put down our camel-saddles on arriving at Medina when we were attacked by the people of the tribe of Abdullah ibn Ghatafan, but none had dared to do it before.

By Him in Whose Hand is my life, none amongst them would go out (of the city) with a dislike for it, but Allah would make his successor in it someone better than he. Behold, Medina is like furnace which eliminates from it the impurities. And the Last Hour will not come until Medina banishes its evils just as a furnace eliminates the impurities of iron.

Thereupon he took a handful of pebbles and threw them on the ground and then said: This is the very mosque of yours (mosque at Medina). He (the narrator) said: I bear witness that I heard your father making mention of it.
