Abd Allaah bin Amr bin Al ‘As said“The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina, as the people were to ask him (about the rites of Hajj). A man came and said Messenger of Allah being ignorant, I shaved before sacrificing. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied“Sacrifice, for no harm will come. ”Another man came and said“Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles. ”He replied“Throw them for no harm will come. ”He (the Prophet) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after its proper time without saying“Do it, for no harm will come. ”

Usamah bin Sharik said“I went out with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to perform Hajj, and the people were coming to him. One would say“Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم I ran between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah before going round the Kaabah or I did something before the its proper time or did something after its proper time. He would reply“No harm will come; no harm will come except to one who defames a Muslim acting wrongfully. That is the one who will be in trouble and will perish.
