Hadith 2915

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " مُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ ، وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِنْ الْجُحْفَةِ ، وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ يَلَمْلَمَ ، وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ مِنْ قَرْنٍ ، وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مِنْ ذَاتِ عِرْقٍ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ لِلْأُفُقِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَقْبِلْ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ " .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and said: ‘The Talbiyah of the people of Al-Madinah begins at Dhul-Hulaifah. The Talbiyah of the people of Sham begins at Juhfah. The Talbiyah of the people of Yemen begins at Yalamlam. The Talbiyah of the people of Najd begins at Qarn. The Talbiyah of the people of the east begins at Dhat ‘Irq.’ Then he turned to face the (eastern) horizon and said: ‘O Allah, make their hearts steadfast.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ Dhu’l-Hulayfah is nowadays called Bi’r Ali or Abar Ali. The present name of Juhfah is Rabigh. Yalamlam is called al-Sa‘diyyah. Qarn al-Manazil is called al-Sayl. As for Dhat ‘Irq, its current name is al-Dhuraybah. For more detailed information regarding the miqat, see the introduction to the Book of Hajj.

➋ At that time, the population of Iraq was not Muslim, but a miqat was still designated for them because in the future these people were to enter Islam.

➌ The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) supplicated for the people of Iraq for Islam, but also warned about the tribulations of that region. This is a source of pride for the righteous people of that area and a source of disgrace for the corrupt and misguided ones.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: By "the other route," according to some scholars, it means that if the people of Madinah travel to the sacred Makkah by another route, they may assume ihram from Juhfah. Some commentators are of the opinion that it refers to those who come by another route, i.e., the people of Shaam (Greater Syria), whose miqat is Juhfah, as has been mentioned in other narrations.

Note: There is a difference of opinion regarding Dhat 'Irq—whether the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself designated it as the miqat for the people of Iraq, or whether its specification was made by Umar radi Allahu anhu through his own ijtihad (independent juristic reasoning) upon inquiry from the people of Iraq. The Imams have taken positions on both sides.
