Hadith Q2987
وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَعْلَمَهُمْ وَهُوَ بِمِنًى أَنَّهُ نَازِلٌ بِهِ مَعَ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ نُزُولَهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْحَجِّ الَّذِي يَكُونُ تَارِكُهُ عَاصِيًا، أَوْ يُوجِبُ تَرْكُ نُزُولِهِ هَدْيًا.
Statement with evidence that staying in the valley of Abtah is not among the obligatory acts of Hajj, such that one who omits it would be sinful or that a sacrifice would be required as expiation for not staying there.
Hadith 2987
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " إِنَّمَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُحَصَّبَ لِيَكُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ نَزَلَهُ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) only stayed in the valley of Abtah because it was easier to depart for (Madina Munawwara) from there. Therefore, whoever wishes may stay in this valley, and whoever wishes may not stay.
Hadith 2988
حَدَّثَنَا
سَلْمُ بْنُ جُنَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ
هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " نُزُولُ الْمُحَصَّبِ لَيْسَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ ، إِنَّمَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَكُونَ أَسْمَحَ لِخُرُوجِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قَوْلُهَا : لَيْسَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ تُرِيدُ لَيْسَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ الَّتِي يَجِبُ عَلَى النَّاسِ الائْتِمَامُ بِفِعْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذْ كُلُّ مَا فَعَلَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الْمُبَاحِ فَقَدْ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ اسْمُ السُّنَّةِ أَيْ أَنَّ لِلنَّاسِ الاسْتِنَانَ بِهِ إِذْ هُوَ مُبَاحٌ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ الْفِعْلَ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Staying in the valley of Muhassab is not a Sunnah. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stayed in this valley only because it was a convenient place for his departure. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that staying in the valley of Muhassab is not a Sunnah. By this, she meant that it is not an act that people are obligated to follow. Because all the actions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), even if they are permissible, are referred to as Sunnah. But people can follow this Sunnah because it is permissible, however, this act is not obligatory upon them. (That is, the one who does not do this act will not be sinful nor will any expiation become obligatory upon him.)
