Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Makkah al-Mukarramah, I was with him. He announced four things until his voice became hoarse: Listen! Only a believing soul will enter Paradise. After this year, no polytheist shall perform Hajj, nor shall anyone circumambulate the House of Allah naked. And whoever has a treaty or pact with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), its duration is four months. After this period passes, Allah and His Messenger are free from obligation to the polytheists.
