'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) decided to observe i'tikaf, he prayed in the morning and then went to the place of his i'tikaf, and he commanded that a tent should be pitched for him, and it was pitched. He (once) decided to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. Zainab (the wife of the Holy Prophet) commanded that a tent should be pitched for her. It was pitched accordingly. And some other wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) commanded that tents should be pitched for them too. And they were pitched. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) offered the morning prayer, he looked and found (so many) tents. Thereupon he said: What is this virtue that these (ladies) have decided to acquire? He commanded his tent to be struck and abandoned i'tikaf in the month of Ramadan and postponed it to the first ten days of Shawwal.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that a person asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) what a Muhrim should put on as dress. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do not put on a shirt or a turban, or trousers or a cap, or leather stockings except one who does not find shoes; he may put on stockings but he should trim them below the ankles. And do not wear clothes to which saffron or wars is applied.

Salim reported on the authority of his father ('Abdullah bin 'Umar) that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was asked what a Muhrim should wear, whereupon he said: A Muhrim should not wear a shirt, or a turban, or a cap, or trousers, or a cloth touched with wars or with saffron, nor (should he wear) stockings, but in case he does not find shoes, but (before wearing stockings) be should trim them (in such a way) that these should become lower than the ankles.

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade the Muhrim to put on a cloth dyed in saffron or wars and he further said: One who does not find shoes (to wear) he may wear stockings, but (only) after trimming them below the ankles.

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say as he was delivering an address: So far as the trousers are concerned, one who does not find lower garment, he may wear them; as also socks, he may wear them who does not find shoes. It concerns the Muhrim.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Amr bin Dinar with the same chain of transmitters, but none of them (the narrators) made a mention that he (the Holy Prophet) was delivering address at 'Arafia except Sbu'ba.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) specified Dhu'l-Hulaifa, for the people of Madinah; Juhfa for the people of Syria; Qarn al-Manazil, for the people of Najd; Yalamlam for the people of Yemen (the Mawaqit) and those (Mawaqit) are also meant for those who live at these (places) and for those too who come from without towards them for the sake of Hajj or 'Umrah. And those who live within them (within the bounds of these places) or in the suburbs of Makkah or within Makkah, they should enter upon the state of Ihram at these very places.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The people of Madinah should enter upon the state of Ihram at Dhu'l-Hulaifa, and people of Syria at Juhfa, and people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil), and 'Abdullah (further) said: It has reached me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also said: The people of Yemen should enter upon the state of Ihram at Yalamlam.

Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) reported his father as saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying that the people of Madinah should enter upon the state of Ihram at Dhu'l- Hulaifa, the people of Syria at Mahya'a and that is Juhfa, and the people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil). 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) said: (I did not hear it myself from him) but heard from them saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had (also) said: The people of Yemen should enter upon the state of Ihram at Yalamlam.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported that the Talbiya of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was this: Here I am at Thy service. O Allah, here I am at Thy service, here I am at Thy service. There is no associate with Thee; here I am at Thy service. Verily all praise and grace is due to Thee, and the sovereignty (too). There is no associate with Thee. He (the narrator) further said that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) made this addition to it: Here I am at Thy service; here I am at Thy service; ready to obey Thee, and good is in Thy Hand; here I am at Thy service; unto Thee is the petition, and deed (is also for Thee).

Salim bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that he heard his father saying: This place Baida' is for you that about which you attribute lie to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not enter upon the state of Ihram but near the mosque at Dhu'l- Hulaifah.

'Ubaid bin Juraij said to 'Ahdullah bin 'Umar (RA) : 'Abdul Rahman, I find you doing four things which I do not see anyone among your companions doing. He said: Son of Juraij, what are these? Thereupon he said: You (while circumambulating the Ka’bah) do not touch but the two pillars situated on the side of Yaman (south), and I find you wearing the sandals of tanned leather, and I find you with dyed beard and head, and I also found that, when you were at Makkah, the people pronounced Talbiya as they saw the new moon (Dhu'l-Hijja), but you did not do it till the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijja. Upon this 'Abdullab bin 'Umar said: So far as the touching of the pillars is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) touching them but only those situated on the side of Yaman. So far as the wearing of the shoes of tanned leather is concerned, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing shoes without hair on them, and he wore them with wet feet after performing ablution, and I like to wear them. So far as the yellowness is concerned, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dyeing (head, beard and cloth) with this colour and I love to dye (my head, beard or cloth) with this colour. And so far as the pronouncing of Talbiya is concerned, I did not see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pronouncing it until his camel proceeded on (to Dhu'l-Hulaifa).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , reported: I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with my own hand before he entered upon the state of Ihram, and as he concluded it before-circumambulating the House (for Tawaf-i-lfada).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head as he was in the state of Ihram, and Khalaf (one of the narrators) did not say: As he was in the state of Ihram, but said: That was the perfume of Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head and he was free from Ihram.

Al-Sa'b bin Jaththama al-Laithi reported that he presented a wild ass to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he was at al-Abwa', or Waddan, and he refused to accept it. He (the narrator) said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked into my face (which had the mark of dejection as my present had been rejected by him) he (in order to console me) said: We have refused it only because we are in a state of Ihram.

A hadith (pertaining to this topic), has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri (and the words are): "I presented to him (the Holy Prophet) a wild ass."

It is narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters (the narrator having) said this: "I presented to him the flesh of a wild ass."

The narration transmitted by Hakam (the words are): Al-Sa'b bin Jaththama presented to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) the leg of a wild ass. And in the narration transmitted by Shu'bah (the words are): (He presented to him) the rump of a wild ass as the blood was trickling from it. In the narration transmitted by Shu'bah on the authority of Habib (the words are): A part of a wild ass was presented to the Apostle (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) and he returned it to him (who presented it).

Abu Qatadah (RA) (RA) reported that while he was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on one of the highways of Makkah, he lagged behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked him about it, and he said: It is a food which Allah provided you (so eat it).

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Five are the beasts for killing which there is no sin for the Muhrim: crow, kite, scorpiou, rat and voracious dog.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Five (are the animals) which, if one kills them In the state of Ihram, entail no sin for one (who does it): scorpion, rat, voracious dog, crow and kite.

Ka'b bin Ujra (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to pass by him during the period of Hudaibiya. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said to him (Ka'b bin Ujra): Do these vermins trouble your head? He said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Shave your head. Then sacrifice a goat or observe fasts for three days or give three sits of dates to feed six needy persons.

And narrated to us Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah, narrated to us Hushaym, informed us Abu Bishr, narrated to us Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. And narrated to us Yahya ibn Yahya, and the wording is his, informed us Hushaym, from Abu Bishr, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that a man was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the state of ihram, and his camel tripped him and he died. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Wash him with water and lotus leaves, and shroud him in his two garments, and do not touch him with perfume, and do not cover his head, for he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection reciting the talbiyah."

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. We entered into the state of Ihram for 'Umrah. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Who has the sacrificial animal with him, he should put on Ihram for Hajj along with 'Umrah, and should not put it off till he has completed them (both Hajj and 'Umrah). She said: When I came to Makkah I was having menses, I neither circumambulated the House, nor ran between as-Safa' and al-Marwah. I complained about it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Undo your hair, comb it, and pronounce Talbiya for Hajj, and give up 'Umrah (for the time being), which I did. When we had performed the Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) sent me with Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) to Tan'im saying: This is the place for your 'Umrah. Those who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah circumambulated the House, and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. They then put off Ihram and then made the last circuit after they had returned from Mina after performing their Hajj, but those who had combined the Hajj and the 'Umrah made only one circuit (as they had combined Hajj and 'Umrah).

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. There were those amongst us who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah, and those who had put on Ihram both for Hajj and" 'Umrah, and those amongst us who had put on Ihram for Hajj (only), while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had put on Ihram for Hajj (only). He who put on Ihram for 'Umrah put it off (after performing 'Umrah), and he who had put on Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and 'Umrah did not put it off before the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja).

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj Ifrid.

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us, Zuhayr narrated to us, Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us, from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him. And Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us—and the wording is his—Abu Khaythamah informed us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pronouncing the talbiyah for Hajj, and with us were women and children. When we arrived at Mecca, we performed tawaf around the House and between Safa and Marwah. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to us: "Whoever does not have a sacrificial animal with him, let him exit ihram." We said: What kind of exiting? He said: "Complete exiting." So we approached our women, wore our clothes, and applied perfume. When the Day of Tarwiyah came, we pronounced the talbiyah for Hajj, and the first tawaf between Safa and Marwah sufficed us. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to share in camels and cattle, seven of us sharing in one sacrificial animal.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish (of the pre-Islamic days) and those who followed their religions practices stayed at Muzdalifa, and they named themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed at 'Arafa. With the advent of Islam, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, commanded His Apostle (ﷺ) to come to 'Arafat and stay there, and then hurry from there, and this is the significance of the words of Allah: "Then hasten on from where the people hasten on."

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , said: Messenger of Allah. what about people who have put off Ihram whereas you have not put it off after your 'Umrah? He said: I have stuck my hair and have driven my sacrificial animal, and would not, therefore, put off Ihram until I have sacrificed the animal.

Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) set out for 'Umrah during the turmoil, and he said: If I am detained (from going to) the House, we would do the same as we did with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . So he went out and put on Ihram for 'Umrah and moved on until he reached al-Baida'. He turned towards his Companions and said: There is one command for both of them and I call you as my witness (and say) that verify I have made Hajj with 'Umrah compulsory for me. He proceeded until, when he came to the House, he circumambulated it seven times and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah seven times, and made no addition to it and thought it to be sufficient for him and offered sacrifice.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: While I was sitting in the company of Ibn 'Umar, a person came to him and said: Is it right for me to circumambulate the House before I come to stay (at 'Arafat)? Ibn 'Umar said: Yes. whereupon he said: Ibn Abbas (RA) , however, says: Do not circumambulate the House until you come to stay at 'Arafat. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed the Hajj and circumambulated the House before coming to stay (at 'Arafat). If you say the Truth, is it more rightful to follow the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) or the words of Ibn Abbas (RA) ?

This hadith is narrated by another chain of transmitters.

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) pronouncing Talbiya for both simultaneously, Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj. Talbiya for Uwra and Hajj (he performed both Hajj and 'Umrah as a Qarin). In another version words are: I heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) pronouncing Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj (simultaneously)."

Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) walking swiftly from the Black Stone till he completed three circuits up to it.

Ahdullah bin 'Umar (reported) that he had not seen Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) touching anything in the House, except the two Yamani corners.

Abbas bin Rabi'a reported: I saw 'Umar (RA) kissing the Stone and saying: I am kissing you and I know that you are a stone. And if I had not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kissing you, I would not have kissed you.

Umm Salamah reported: I made a complaint to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of my ailment, whereupon be said: Circumambulate behind the people while riding. She said: So I circumambulated and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was at that time praying towards the side of the House and he was reciting al-Tur and a Book Inscribed (i. e. Sura Iii. of the Qur'an).

Hisham bin 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father who narrated from 'A'isha. He said to 'A'isha: I think if a person does not run between al- Safa' and al-Marwah, It does not do any harm to him (so far as Hajj is concerned). She said: Why (do you think so)? I said: For Allah says: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" (ii. 158) (to the end of the verse), whereupon she said: Allah does not complete the Hajj of a person or his 'Umrah if he does not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh; and if it were so as you state, then (the wording would have been (fala janah an la yatufu biha) [" There is no harm for him if he does not circumambulate between them']. Do you know in what context (this verse was revealed)? (It was revealed in this context) that the Ansar in the Days of Ignorance pronounced the Talbiya for two idols. (fixed on the bank of the river which were called Isaf and Na'ila. The people went there, and then circumambulated between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh and then got their heads shaved. With the advent of Islam they (the Muslims) did not like to circumambulate between them as they used to do during the Days of Ignorance. It was on account of this that Allah the Exalted and Majestic, revealed: "Verily al-Safe and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" to the end of the verse. She said: Then people began to observe Sa'i.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (RA) sat behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning. Kuraib said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) narrated from al-Fadl (RA) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara (al-'Aqabahh).
