Ja'far bin Muhammad narrated on the authority of his father thus: I came to Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) and asked him about the (Farewell) Pilgrimage of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . The rest of the hadith is the same, but with the addition of this: "There was one Abu Sayyara among the Arabs, (of pre-Islamic period) who carried (people from Muzdalifa to Mini). As the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (May peace be upon him) set out from Muzdalifa to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, the Quraish were certain that he would halt there and that would be his station. But he passed on (without staying) there, and paid no heed to it till he came to 'Arafat and there he stayed."

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (May peace be upon him) as saying: I have sacrificed (the animals) here, and the whole of Mina is a place for sacrifice; so sacrifice your animals at your places. I have stayed here (near these rocks), and the whole of Arafat is a place for stay. And I have stayed here (at Muzdalifa near Mash'ar al-Haram) and the whole of Muzdalifa is a place for stay (i. e. one is permitted to spend night in any part of it, as one likes).

Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) proceeded to Makkah, he came to it (the Black Stone). He kissed it and moved to his right, and moved quickly in three circuits, and walked in four circuits.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish (of the pre-Islamic days) and those who followed their religions practices stayed at Muzdalifa, and they named themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed at 'Arafa. With the advent of Islam, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, commanded His Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to come to 'Arafat and stay there, and then hurry from there, and this is the significance of the words of Allah: "Then hasten on from where the people hasten on."

Hisham narrated on the authority of his father that the Arabs with the exception of Hums who were Quraish, and their descendants, circumambulated the House naked. They kept circumambulating in this state of nudity unless the Hums supplied to them the clothes. The male provided (clothes) to the male and the female provided clothes to the female. And the Hums did not get out of Muzdalifa, whereas the people (other than the Quraish) went to 'Arafat. Hisham said on the authority of his father who related from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) who said: Hums are those about whom Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse: "Then hasten to where the people hasten." She (further) said: The people hastened on from 'Arafat, whereas Hums hastened from Muzdalifa, and said: We do not hasten but from Haram. But when this (verse) was revealed: "Hasten on from that (place) where the people hasten on," they (the Quraish) then went to 'Arafat.

Jubair. bin Mut'im reported: I lost my camel and went in search of it on the day of 'Arafa, and I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) staying along with people in 'Arafat. Thereupon I said: By Allah, he is among the Hums (Quraish); what has happened to him that he has come to this (place)? The Quraish were counted among Hums.

Abu Musa (RA) said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as he was encamping at Batha. He said to me: Did you intend to perform Hajj? I said: Yes. He again said: With what intention have you entered into the state of Ihram (for Ifrad, Qiran or Tamattu'). I said: I pronounced Talbiya (I have entered into the state of Ihram) with that very aim with which the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is pronouncing Talbiya. He (the Holy Prophet) said; You have done well. Then circumambulate the House and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwah' and put off Ihram (as you have not brought the sacrificial animals along with you). So I circumambulated the House, and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah' and then came to a woman of the tribe of Qais and she rid my head of the lice. I again put on Ihram for Hajj, and continued giving religious verdict (according to this practice) till during the Caliphate of Umar (RA) when a person said to him: Abu Musa, or'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) , exercise restraint in delivering some religious verdict of yours, for you do not know what has been introduced after you by the Commander of the Believers in the rites (of Hajj). Thereupon he said: O people, whom we gave the religious verdict (concerning putting off Ihram) they should wait, for the Commander of the Believers is about to come to you, and you should follow him. Umar (RA) then came and I made a mention of it to him whereupon he said: If we abide by the Book of Allah (we find) the Book of Allah has commanded us to complete the Hajj and 'Umrah, and if we abide by the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , we find that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not put off Ihram till the sacrificial animal was brought to its end (till it was sacrificed).

This hadith has been narrated by Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters.

Abu Musa (RA) reported: I came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he was encamping at Batha. He (the Holy Prophet) said: With what purpose have you entered into the state of Ihram? I said: I have entered into the state of Ihram in accordance with the Ihram of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He said: Have you brought sacrificial animals along with you? I said: No. Whereupon he said: Then circumambulate the House and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwah and put off Ihram. So I circumambulated the House, ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah, and then came to a woman of my tribe. She combed and washed my head. I used to give religious verdict (according to the above mentioned command of the Holy Prophet) during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and also during that of 'Umar. And it was during the Hajj season that a person came to me and said: You (perhaps) do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced in the rites (of Hajj). I said: O people, those whom we have given religious verdict about a certain thing should wait, for the Commander of the Believers is about to arrive among you, so follow him. When the Commander of the Believers arrived, I said: What is this that you have introduced in the rites (of Hajj)? Whereupon he said: If we abide by the Book of Allah (we find) that there Allah, Exalted and Majestic, has said: "Complete Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah." And if we abide by the Sunnah of our Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (we find) that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (May peace be upon him) did not put off Ihram till he had sacrificed the animals.

Abu Musa (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (May peace be upon im) had sent me to Yemen and I came back in the year in which he (the Holy Prophet) performed the (Farewell) Pilgrimage. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon, him) said to me: Abu Musa, what did you say when you entered into the state of Ihram? I said: At thy beck and call; my (Ihram) is that of the Ihram of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (May peace be upon him). He said: Have you brought the sacrificial animals? I said: No. Thereupon he said: Go and circumambulate the House, and (run) between al-Safa' and al-Marwah and then put off Ihram. The rest of the hadith is the same.
