Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Dhu’l-Hulaifah as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfah for the people of Syria, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, and Qarn for the people of Najd. A person asked, “What about for the people of Iraq?” He (the Prophet) replied, “On that day, Iraq did not exist.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came into the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! From where should we put on the Ihram? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of Madinah should put on Ihram from Dhu’l-Hulaifah, the people of Syria from Juhfah, and the people of Najd from Qarn. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that they say the people of Yemen should put on Ihram from Yalamlam.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Dhu'l-Hulaifah as the miqat for the people of Madinah; and Juhfah for the people of Syria; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen and Tuhamah; and Qarn for the people of Najd; and Dhat 'Irq for the people of Iraq.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed Dhu’l-Hulaifah as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfah for the people of Syria, Qarn al-Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. Then he said: These are for them and for every other person who comes (for Hajj or Umrah) with the intention of pilgrimage; and whoever is before these (boundaries), then he should assume ihram from where he was born, until even the people of Makkah should assume ihram from Makkah itself.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Dhu’l-Hulayfah as the miqat for the people of the East.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ata that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed Dhat 'Irq as the miqat for the people of Iraq.

Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Abu Kathir narrates that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, "From where should I enter into Ihram?" He replied, "From the place of Bida. It was from here that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered into Ihram for Hajj and Umrah."

Hazrat Umar fixed Dhat 'Irq as the miqat for the people of Iraq.

Hazrat Umar said to the people of Iraq: Look for a place equal to Qarn. They found Dhat 'Irq to be equal (corresponding) to it, and Qarn was closer to Makkah compared to Dhat 'Irq. He appointed Dhat 'Irq as the miqat for the people of Iraq.

Hazrat Aswad would not allow any of his household to cross the place of Aqiq without putting on Ihram.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin states that five miqats were established for the people: Dhu'l-Hulayfah for the people of Madinah Munawwarah, Taneem for the people of Makkah Mukarramah, Juhfah for the people of Shaam, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, Qarn for the people of Najd or Qarn for the people of Iraq. Then, after some time had passed, people said to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): Our route is not through Qarn, so its counterpart was made Dhat 'Irq.

Hazrat Anas would enter into Ihram from Dhat 'Irq and would not speak to anyone until the Tawaf was completed; however, if something was very necessary, he would say it.

Hazrat Thawir narrates that I performed Hajj with Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair and Hazrat Mujahid; both of them assumed Ihram for Hajj from the place of Aqiq.

Hazrat Ibrahim bin Abdul A’la says that I set out for Hajj with Hazrat Suwaid bin Ghaflah; he assumed Ihram from Dhat ‘Irq.

Hazrat Masruq states that for the people of Iraq, the miqat is the place of Aqiq.
