اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الْمُهَلَّبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : " حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ حَجَّاتٍ ، حَجَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ ، وَحَجَّةً بَعْدَ مَا هَاجَرَ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ ، وَقَرَنَ مَعَ حَجَّتِهِ عُمْرَةً ، وَاجْتَمَعَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ عَلِيٌّ مِائَةَ بَدَنَةٍ ، مِنْهَا جَمَلٌ لِأَبِي جَهْلٍ فِي أَنْفِهِ بُرَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، فَنَحَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَسِتِّينَ ، وَنَحَرَ عَلِيٌّ مَا غَبَرَ " ، قِيلَ لَهُ : مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : جَعْفَرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
´Sufyan said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Hajj three times, twice before he emigrated, and once after he had emigrated, and once after he had emigrated to Al-Madinah. He performed ‘Umrah along with his Hajj. The total number of camels brought by the Prophet (ﷺ) and ‘Ali was one hundred. Among them was a (male) camel belonging to Abu Jahl, which had a silver ring in its nose. The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered sixty-three with his own hand, and ‘Ali slaughtered the rest.”

Benefits and Issues:
Our esteemed researcher has declared the mentioned narration weak in terms of its chain of transmission, whereas other scholars have considered it authentic.
Shaykh al-Albani writes regarding this narration:
Apart from the mention of two pilgrimages (hajj) before the migration and the reference to Abu Jahl’s camel, the rest of the narration is authentic.
Furthermore, in Sahih Muslim, it is narrated from Hazrat Zayd ibn Arqam radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam participated in 19 military expeditions (ghazawat) during his blessed life, and he performed only one pilgrimage (hajj), and that too after the migration, i.e., the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘). (Sahih Muslim, Book of Hajj, Chapter: Clarification of the Number of ‘Umrahs of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Their Times, Hadith: 1254)
It is thus evident that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed only one pilgrimage, and that too in the tenth year after the Hijrah.
The mention of performing two pilgrimages before the migration is not established by any authentic narration.
And Allah knows best. For further details, see: (Hajjat al-Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by al-Albani, pp. 67/83, and Sunan Ibn Majah, verified by Dr. Bashar Awwad, no. 3076)
