Hadith 2890
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : حَجَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَحْلٍ رَثٍّ ، وَقَطِيفَةٍ تُسَاوِي أَرْبَعَةَ دَرَاهِمَ أَوْ لَا تُسَاوِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ حَجَّةٌ لَا رِيَاءَ فِيهَا ، وَلَا سُمْعَةَ " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Hajj on an old saddle, wearing a cloak that was worth four Dirham or less. Then he said: ‘O Allah, a Hajj in which there is no showing off nor reputation sought.’”
Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, I am performing Hajj purely for Your pleasure and reward, not for show or boasting and pride. From this hadith, it is understood that excessive adornment and using luxurious mounts or fine clothing during Hajj is contrary to the Sunnah. In Hajj, the servant goes before his Master, so the more humility he displays, and the more worn and humble his condition, the better it is, so that the mercy of the Master may be stirred. And this is precisely why, in Hajj, wearing stitched clothing and applying perfume has been prohibited.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is permissible to use necessary items during the journey of Hajj, for example:
One may travel by placing a saddle on a camel.
Similarly, traveling by bus or airplane is permissible.
Because this is a necessity and not intended for luxury or indulgence.
➋
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wore simple clothing and traveled on an ordinary mount so that there would be no display of adornment or ostentation.
➌
It is permissible to display adornment and beautification on the two Eids and on Friday, but during the journey of Hajj and Umrah, it is more appropriate to adopt as much simplicity as possible.
➍
One should give special consideration to sincerity in righteous deeds.
