´It was narrated from Jabir that:` when the Prophet came back from the Umrah of Al-Jirranah, he sent Abu Bakr to lead the Hajj. We wnet the him until, when he was in Al-Urj, the Iqamah for Subh was said, and he stood up to say the Takbir while he heard the grunting of a camel behind him, and he did not say the Takbir. He said: "This is the grunting of the camel of the Messenger of Allah has had second thoughts about the Hajj, and may be he is here, and we will pray with him." But it was 'Ali on the camel. Abu Bakr said to him: "(Have you come) as a leader or as messenger?" He said: "No, as a messenger, sent by the Messenger of Allah with a declaration of innocence to recite it to the people in the stations of Hajj. So we came to makkah and one day before the day of At-Tarwiyah Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and addressed the people telling them about their rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then we went out with hm and on the day of Arafat. Abu Bakr stood up and addressed people, telling them about rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then on the day of Sacrifice, we departed (Ifadah) and when Abu Bakr came back, eh addressed the people, telling them about their departure (Ifadah), sacrifice and rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. On the first day of An-Nafr (The 12th of Dhul-Hijjah), Abu Bakr stood up and addressed the people, telling them how to offer their sacrifice and how to stone the Jamrat, and teaching them their rituals. When he had finished, "Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. (Daif) Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Ibn Khuthaim is not strong in Hadith, and I only narrated this so it would not be considered to be from Ibn Juraij from Abu Az-Zubai. And we did not write it except from Ishaq bin Rahuyah bin Ibrahm. And yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan did not abandon the narrations of Ibn Khuthaim, or dod Abdur-Rahamn. However, Ali bin Al-Madini said: "Ibn Khuthaim is Munkar in Hadith," and Ali bin Al-Madini is more knowledgeable of Hadith.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) Some hadith scholars have narrated this report without the intermediary of Ibn Khuthaym, but in that case, this narration becomes disconnected (munqati‘), because Ibn Jurayj would sometimes narrate from Abu al-Zubayr by name reports which he had not actually heard from him. To draw attention to this issue, Imam al-Nasa’i rahimahullah has narrated the version with the intermediary. The intermediary narrator, Ibn Khuthaym, is subject to criticism. A great Imam such as Imam ‘Ali ibn al-Madini has explicitly declared him weak. However, some researchers have considered it weak not because of Ibn Khuthaym, but solely due to the ‘an‘anah of Abu al-Zubayr. In any case, this narration is weak. And Allah knows best.
(2) “He was sent as the leader of Hajj”—this does not refer to immediately after the ‘Umrah of Ji‘irrana, but rather to the following year, in Dhu al-Qa‘dah of 9 AH.
(3) “‘Arj” is the name of a village or a mountain between Madinah and Makkah.
(4) “Messenger”—The reason for sending ‘Ali radi Allahu ‘anhu was that the proclamation of disavowal (bara’ah) was such an important announcement that either the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam himself would make it, or one of his relatives.
(5) “Verses of Bara’ah”—This refers to the opening section (ruku‘) of Surah al-Tawbah, in which the polytheists were warned that their role in Arabia had now ended. They were given four months, or rather until the end of the sacred months, to consider carefully: either become Muslim, prepare for battle, or vacate Arabia. As a result, all the people became Muslim and Arabia was cleansed of polytheism. (For further details, see Hadith: 2960, 2961.)
(6) “Yawm al-Tarwiyah”—the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The day before Yawm al-Tarwiyah is not part of the Hajj sermon. Since this was the first Hajj, people were unfamiliar, so repeated addresses were necessary. The main sermon of Hajj is on Yawm ‘Arafah itself; the rest are given as needed.
(7) By Yawm ‘Arafah is meant the 9th, by Yawm al-Nahr the 10th, and by the first day of return the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah, and by the second day of return the 13th. The 11th, 12th, and 13th are called the Days of Tashriq.
