Sayyiduna Usama bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform Hajj. People came to him and someone said: "O Messenger of Allah! I performed Sa'i before Tawaf," or "I delayed one thing," or "I performed one ritual before another." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "There is no harm, except for the one who harms the honor of a Muslim and is an oppressor; such a person will fall into harm and destruction." Only the narrator named Jarir has reported these words: "I performed Sa'i before Tawaf."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I shaved my head before offering the sacrifice!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now offer your sacrifice, there is no harm." Another man said, "I offered the sacrifice before throwing the pebbles!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now throw the pebbles! There is no harm."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: On the day of sacrifice, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped on his mount, and people began to ask him questions. One of them said: "O Messenger of Allah! I did not know, I thought the stoning should be done after the sacrifice, so I performed the sacrifice before stoning." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now perform the stoning, there is no harm." Another person said: "O Messenger of Allah! I did not know, I thought the sacrifice should be done before shaving the head, so I shaved my head before performing the sacrifice." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now perform the sacrifice, there is no harm." (The narrator says) On that day, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever he was asked about any matter by someone who had forgotten or was unaware, meaning he had performed one act before another, or had done something in a different order, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to him: "Now do it, there is no harm."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I remember this about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he was in Mina on his camel, when a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I thought that the head is to be shaved before offering the sacrifice, so I shaved my head before offering the sacrifice." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now offer your sacrifice, there is no harm." The narrator says: Another man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I thought that the head should be shaved before throwing the pebbles, so I shaved my head before throwing the pebbles." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now throw the pebbles, there is no harm." The narrator says: On that day, whatever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about—whether a person had done something before or after its due time—the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now do it, there is no harm." The same narration is also transmitted with another chain, but in it these additional words are present: "He departed before throwing the pebbles." These words have not been corroborated by other narrators, and I think the narrator made a mistake in transmitting these words.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), on the day of sacrifice, when a man came to him while he (the Prophet) was staying near the Jamrah. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah! I shaved my head before throwing the pebbles." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now throw the pebbles, there is no harm." Then another man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I offered the sacrifice before throwing the pebbles." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now throw the pebbles, there is no harm." The narrator says: Another man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah before throwing the pebbles." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now throw the pebbles, there is no harm." The narrator says: That day I saw that whatever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about, he replied, "Now do it, there is no harm."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the days of sacrifice, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a person who shaved his head before throwing the pebbles, or slaughtered (his sacrifice) before shaving, or performed the sacrifice before doing so, or about doing any such act before or after its (appointed) time. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm, there is no harm."

Ata and other narrators have reported these three matters from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) regarding a person who shaved his head before throwing the pebbles. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Now throw the pebbles, there is no harm; shaving is a part of the stoning, and stoning is like shaving the head." Another person came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "I performed the sacrifice before throwing the pebbles." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Now throw the pebbles; sacrificing is a part of the stoning, and stoning is like sacrificing." The narrator states: Another person came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: "I performed the sacrifice before shaving my head." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Now shave your head, there is no harm; sacrificing is a part of shaving, and shaving is like sacrificing." This narration is also transmitted with some other chains, but in them, these words are present: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was delivering a sermon to us on the day of sacrifice." After this, the narrator mentioned the hadith as before, in which these words are present: "(That person said) I thought that such-and-such act comes before such-and-such (the narrator has reported these words regarding the three acts)." So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There is no harm in it." (The narrator states) These are the three acts, that is, shaving the head before throwing the pebbles.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the day of sacrifice, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon when a man stood before him and said,“I thought that such-and-such act comes before such-and-such act.”Then another man stood up and said,“O Messenger of Allah! I thought that such-and-such act comes before these three acts.”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Do it now, there is no harm.”(The narrator says) Whatever was asked of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that day, he replied,“Do it now, there is no harm.”The narrator named Abu Bakr has reported this, and only Ibn Jurayj has narrated from Zuhri with these words:“The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon.”This narration is Hasan (good).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the days of sacrifice, whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about any action that someone had performed before another, or if someone had done one act before another, the narrator states: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) raised both his hands and said, "There is no harm, there is no harm."
