Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we set out on a journey from Madinah Munawwarah to Makkah Mukarramah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he continued to lead us in two rak‘ahs (of prayer) until we returned to Madinah Munawwarah. Yahya bin Abi Ishaq says that I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him),“Did you stay in Makkah Mukarramah for some days?”He replied,“We stayed in Makkah Mukarramah for ten days.”

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I (after completing Umrah) met the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the valley of Abtah during the last part of the night when you were ascending (towards Makkah Mukarramah) and I was descending into the valley, or you were descending and I was ascending.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we set out on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), then she narrated the complete hadith. In this narration, these words are mentioned: When you ordered your companions to depart in the valley of Muhassab, the people set out. Then, at the time of the morning prayer, you passed by the Sacred House (the Ka'bah), so you performed its circumambulation, then came out and mounted your ride, and then you set out towards Madinah Munawwarah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the people were commanded (by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) that their last act in Makkah Mukarramah should be the circumambulation (Tawaf) of the House of Allah (Baytullah).

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the people would depart from all sides, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered that none of you should return without performing the last (farewell) Tawaf.

And the explanation of the evidence that the statement of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), "No one should return without performing the last circumambulation (Tawaf) of the Ka'bah," refers to people other than menstruating women, but in the hadith narrated in this regard, the mention of the menstruating woman is general, while the intent is specific.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that whoever performs Hajj should make the last act in Makkah the circumambulation (Tawaf) of the Sacred House (Baytullah), except for menstruating women, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them exemption from performing the Farewell Tawaf.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Lady Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) began menstruating, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this. He asked: "Will she prevent us from departing?" I said that she began menstruating after performing the Tawaf al-Ifadah. He said: "Then there is no harm. She may depart."

Ibn Jurayj says that I asked Imam Ata, "Did you hear Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say that indeed we have been commanded to perform Tawaf of the Sacred House (the Ka'bah), and you have not been commanded to enter the Sacred House?" He replied that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not prohibit entering the Sacred House, but I heard him say this: Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) told me that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered the Sacred House, he supplicated in all its sides. I asked, "By sides, do you mean its corners?" He replied, "Rather, he supplicated towards every direction (qiblah) of the Sacred House."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he entered the Sacred House (Baytullah) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), so he closed the door. At that time, the Sacred House was standing on six pillars. The Prophet went and sat near the pillars closest to the door of the Ka'bah, praised Allah, supplicated to Allah Almighty, and sought forgiveness. Then he stood up and came in front of the back wall of the Ka'bah. He placed his blessed face and blessed body on the wall of the Ka'bah, praised Allah Almighty, asked for forgiveness and pardon for himself. Then he went to every corner of the Ka'bah, faced it, recited takbeer «‏‏‏‏لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله، سُبْحَانَ اللَٰه، الحَمْدُ لِلَٰه» ‏‏‏‏, praised Allah as is befitting His majesty, supplicated to Him, and sought forgiveness. Then he came out of the Ka'bah and performed two rak'ahs in front of the Ka'bah, and said: "This is the Qiblah, this is the Qiblah."
