Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that a man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what kind of clothing should a Muhrim wear?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "He should not wear a shirt, nor a turban, nor trousers, nor a cloak, nor socks. But if someone does not have shoes, he may wear socks after cutting them below the ankles. And (in Ihram) do not wear any garment that has been touched with saffron or wars (a kind of dye)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon at Arafat, saying: Whoever does not have sandals while in Ihram should wear leather socks, and whoever does not have an izar (waist-wrapper) should wear trousers.

Sayyiduna Ya’la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him),“Sometimes show me the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when revelation is being sent down upon him.”(Ya’la) narrated that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was staying at Ji’ranah with a group of his companions when a man came and asked,“O Messenger of Allah, what is your ruling about a person who has put on the Ihram for ‘Umrah while his clothes are scented with perfume?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent for a while, then revelation was sent down upon him. Sayyiduna Umar signaled to Ya’la (may Allah be pleased with him), so Ya’la came and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was covered with a cloth, inside which he was present. Ya’la put his head inside the cloth and saw that the blessed face was red and he was snoring. Then this state ended, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Where is the person who asked about ‘Umrah?”The mentioned person was brought, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Wash off the perfume you have applied three times and take off your cloak. Perform ‘Umrah as you perform Hajj.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed Dhu’l-Hulaifah as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfah for the people of Sham, Qarn al-Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. These are the miqats for the people of those regions and also for those who pass through them intending to enter the Haram for Hajj or ‘Umrah. However, those who reside within the miqat, their place for donning ihram is their own home, until even the people of Makkah should assume ihram from Makkah itself. (For those who consider it necessary to go to Tan‘im for ‘Umrah, this hadith is a proof against them, provided they study it with careful consideration.)

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The people of Madinah should assume Ihram from Dhu’l-Hulayfah, the people of Shaam from Juhfah, and the people of Najd from Qarn al-Manazil. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have learned that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: And the people of Yemen should assume Ihram from Yalamlam.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was: "Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. All praise is for You and all blessings are from You, and the kingdom is Yours alone. You have no partner."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) assumed Ihram near the mosque of Dhu’l-Hulayfah.

Ubaidullah bin Juraij (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), "O Abu Abdur Rahman! I have seen you doing four things which I have not seen your companions doing." He said, "O Ibn Juraij! What are they?" Ibn Juraij said: "I saw that during Tawaf you do not touch any corner except the two Yemeni corners. (Secondly) I saw you wearing Sabti shoes, and (thirdly) I saw that you use yellow color, and (fourthly) I saw that when you are in Makkah, people, upon sighting the (Dhul-Hijjah) moon, begin to recite Talbiyah and enter into Ihram for Hajj, but you do not enter into Ihram until the eighth (of Dhul-Hijjah)." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "As for the other corners, I do not touch them because I did not see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) touching any corner except the Yemeni ones. As for the Sabti shoes, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wearing shoes whose leather had no hair, and he would perform ablution while wearing them, so I also like to wear them. As for the yellow color, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dyeing with yellow, so I also like to dye with that color. And as for entering into Ihram, I did not see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entering into Ihram until his she-camel set out with him."

The purified wife of the Noble Prophet, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would enter into the state of Ihram, I used to apply fragrance for his Ihram, and likewise, for becoming lawful (halal) before performing the circumambulation (Tawaf) of the House of Allah (Baytullah).

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: It is as if I am seeing the shine of fragrance in the parting of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), although he was in the state of Ihram.
