It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mahrash Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Ji‘irrana at night, performed ‘Umrah, and then returned. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the morning in Ji‘irrana, and it seemed as if he had spent the night there in Ji‘irrana itself. I saw his back, and it appeared as if it was a silver plate.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Benefits: The ‘Umrah of Ji‘irrana: When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, after completing the expeditions of Hunayn and Ta’if, reached the place of Ji‘irrana and camped there, he performed this ‘umrah during that time. These expeditions took place in 8 AH after the conquest of Makkah. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam distributed the spoils of the Battle of Hunayn at the place of Ji‘irrana. This location is between Makkah al-Mukarramah and Ta’if, and is closer to Makkah al-Mukarramah. On this occasion, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed ‘umrah during the night and returned. Those who denied this ‘umrah were simply unaware of it.
In these blessed ahadith, the noble appearance (hilya mubarak) of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is described. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, along with being the highest example of character, was also unique in his physical and innate attributes.
