It is narrated from Sayyiduna Asim bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the camel herders to spend the nights outside Mina. They would stone (the Jamarat) on the day of sacrifice, then on the second or third day of Eid (they would stone for two days together), and then on the day of departure they would stone the Jamarat. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abu’l-Baddah is the son of Sayyiduna Asim bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him), and the narrator who reported from Abu’l-Baddah bin Adi attributed him to his grandfather. Sayyiduna Asim bin Adi ‘Ajlani (may Allah be pleased with him) is the one whose story of li’an is mentioned in the narration of Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers in the valley of Muhassab, then he slept for a while, then he mounted and reached the Sacred House (Baytullah) and performed the Farewell Tawaf. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this hadith is gharib; only Amr bin Harith has narrated it. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abu Musa recited this hadith to me. He says that Ahmad bin Salih sent me this narration in writing from the chain of Ibn Wahb.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us, while we were still in Mina: "Tomorrow we will camp at Khayf Bani Kinana, insha’Allah." In the narration of Janab Bundar, it is mentioned: "When they had taken oaths," but the correct wording is: "At the place where they had taken oaths of unity upon disbelief." And the incident is as follows: The Quraysh and Kinana had taken oaths in Khayf, that is, the valley of Muhassab, against Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib, that they would neither marry with them nor buy and sell with their families until they handed over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to them.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrates from the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم a narration similar to the one mentioned above. In it are these words: They swore oaths among themselves that they would not establish relations with Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib, nor would they have any dealings with them until they handed over the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to his enemies. In the narration of Rabi’ and Yunus, it is stated that they swore oaths of disbelief among themselves. In the narration of Bahr, it is stated: When they swore oaths of disbelief.

I had pitched the tent of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the valley of Abtah, and he had not ordered me to pitch the tent. He simply came and settled in the tent. That is, he had not ordered me to pitch the tent at that place. Abu Rafi’ does not mean that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed in the valley of Abtah because the tent was pitched there.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to depart from Mina, he said: "Tomorrow, if Allah wills, we will stay at Khayf Bani Kinana, where they had sworn mutual oaths of unity upon disbelief." By this, he meant the valley of Muhassab. Then the rest of the narration is mentioned similar to the previous narration. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the question to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding where he would stay in Makkah the next day during his Hajj—this narration has been reported by Imam Zuhri from Abu Salamah from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). Whereas, at the end of this narration, the incident mentioned that no Muslim will inherit from a disbeliever, nor will any disbeliever inherit from a Muslim, is narrated in the report of Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) through Ali bin Husayn from Amr bin Uthman. In my opinion, the narrator Mu'ammar made a mistake and combined these incidents with this chain. I have explained the reason for the narration in Kitab al-Kabir.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that during the Farewell Pilgrimage, I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, where will you stay in Makkah tomorrow?" He replied, "Has Aqeel left any house for us?" Then he said, "We will stay tomorrow at Khaif Bani Kinana, where the Quraysh had sworn oaths of unity upon disbelief. And that was when Banu Kinana and Quraysh made a pact against Banu Hashim that they would neither marry with them, nor buy or sell with them, nor give them shelter." Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Khaif is a valley. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No disbeliever can inherit from a Muslim, nor can a Muslim inherit from a disbeliever."

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I pitched the tent of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the valley of Abtah. He had not ordered me to settle in the valley of Abtah, then he came and stayed in that tent. This narration is from Janab Nasr, and in the narration of Janab Ali bin Khushram, Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he had not ordered me to settle in the valley of Abtah, rather I came on my own and pitched his tent. Then he also came and stayed in the tent. In the narration of Janab Abdul Jabbar, it is mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not ordered me to pitch the tent, rather I myself pitched the tent of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the valley of Abtah, so he came and stayed in it. Janab Abdul Jabbar has added these words in his narration: and Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) was the caretaker of his belongings, and when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came from Madinah Munawwarah, he stayed at the upper side of Makkah Mukarramah. Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) himself narrates that when I came to the valley of Abtah, I pitched his tent, then he also came and stayed in it.

Statement with evidence that staying in the valley of Abtah is not among the obligatory acts of Hajj, such that one who omits it would be sinful or that a sacrifice would be required as expiation for not staying there.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) only stayed in the valley of Abtah because it was easier to depart for (Madina Munawwara) from there. Therefore, whoever wishes may stay in this valley, and whoever wishes may not stay.
