Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) for Hajj, and we assumed three types of Ihram. Some among us assumed Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah together. Some of us assumed Ihram only for Hajj, and some assumed Ihram only for Umrah. So, whoever assumed Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah was not free from any restriction imposed by Ihram until he had performed the rites of Hajj. And whoever assumed Ihram for Umrah, he became free after performing Tawaf of the Sacred House and Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, until he assumed Ihram for Hajj (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah).

Hazrat Zadhan narrates that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) became severely ill, so he called his sons and gathered them and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "Whoever performs Hajj by walking from Makkah Mukarramah until he returns to Makkah Mukarramah, Allah Almighty writes seven hundred good deeds for him for every step. Each good deed will be like the good deeds of the Haram." He was asked, "What is meant by the good deeds of the Haram?" He replied, "Each good deed will be equal to ten million good deeds."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) performed one thousand Hajj of the Sacred House, each time coming on foot from India, and did not ride any mount in any Hajj."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to the people one day before Yawm at-Tarwiyah (8th Dhul-Hijjah) and taught them the rites of Hajj.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates the condition of the Hajj of the Prophet (peace be upon him), stating that after the Tawaf of the House of Allah and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, he (peace be upon him) instructed us to come out of the state of Ihram. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "When you intend to go to Mina (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah), then (again) enter into Ihram." Thus, we entered into Ihram from Batha.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) for Hajj. (Upon reaching Makkah Mukarramah) when we had completed the Tawaf, he said: "Change this Hajj of yours into 'Umrah, except for the one who has brought a sacrificial animal with him." So we made it 'Umrah. Then when the Day of Tarwiyah came, we proclaimed the Talbiyah for Hajj and proceeded towards Mina.

Hazrat Abdul Aziz bin Rafi' narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Tell me something that you understood from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Where did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offer the Zuhr prayer on the Day of Tarwiyah? He replied: In Mina. I asked: Where did he offer the Asr prayer on the day of departure? He said: In Abtah. Then he said: Do as your rulers do. (Wherever they pray, you should pray there as well.)

Hazrat Abdul Aziz bin Rafi’ narrates that I met Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik while he was riding a donkey and heading towards Mina. I asked him,“Where did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) offer the Zuhr prayer on this day (8th of Dhul-Hijjah)?”He replied,“You should pray where your rulers pray.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Sunnah method of Hajj—and on one occasion he said that the Sunnah method for the Imam—is that he should perform the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers in Mina.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed five prayers in Mina.
