Narrated by Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them): The people, after completing the rites of Hajj, would return (to their respective homelands and regions) from every direction. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them: "That their last act should be (to spend time in) circumambulation at the House of Allah (the Ka'bah)."

Tawoos (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that it was commanded that their last moments be spent at the House of Allah (performing Tawaf), except for a menstruating woman, because she has been granted permission or concession.
