Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that I myself twisted the garlands for the sacrificial animals of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own hands. Then he put the garlands on them, marked them, and sent them towards Mecca. Yet, for him, the things that were lawful before (except for what was forbidden due to the sacrificial animals) did not become unlawful.

Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan wrote to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abdullah bin Abbas has said: Whoever sends a sacrificial animal (hadi), all those things become forbidden for him which are forbidden for a pilgrim, until his sacrificial animal is slaughtered. Upon this, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: What Ibn Abbas has said, the ruling is not like that. I myself braided the collars of the sacrificial animals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own hands, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put the collars on those animals with his own hands and sent them with my respected father.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man leading a sacrificial animal, so he said to him, "Ride on it." The man said, "It is a sacrificial animal." The Prophet said, "Ride on it." He again said, "It is a sacrificial animal." Then the Prophet said, "Alas, ride on it!" (You said this the second or third time.)

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw a man leading a sacrificial animal, so he said to him, "Ride on it." The man said, "It is a sacrificial animal." The Prophet said, "Ride on it." The man again said, "It is a sacrificial animal." But the Prophet, for the third time, said, "Ride on it."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the people were commanded that their last act (before leaving Makkah) should be with the House of Allah (i.e., to perform the Farewell Tawaf), except for the menstruating woman, from whom this was excused.

The purified wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): O Messenger of Allah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) has begun menstruating (during Hajj). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Perhaps she will detain us. Did she not perform the Tawaf (Ziyarah) with you? The women replied: She has done so. Upon this, he said: Then depart.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that on the night of departure from Mecca, Sayyida Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was menstruating. She said, "It seems I will be the cause for these people to stay." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Aqra Halqa! Did you perform the Tawaf al-Ziyarah on the day of sacrifice?" She replied, "Yes, I have done it." He said, "Then proceed."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, and Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal, and Uthman bin Talhah Hajabi were also with him. Then Uthman closed the door of the Ka'bah, and the Prophet stayed inside. When he came out, I asked Bilal, "What did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do inside?" He replied, "He left one pillar to his left, one to his right, and three behind him, and at that time there were six pillars in the Ka'bah. Then he performed prayer."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, he supplicated in all four corners but did not perform prayer. Then when he came out, he performed two units of prayer facing the Ka'bah and said: "This is the Qiblah."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ‘Umrah, he circumambulated the Ka‘bah and then offered two rak‘ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim. There were some people with him who were forming a barrier between him and the rest of the people. One of those individuals asked Ibn Abi Awfa,“Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) enter the Ka‘bah?”He replied,“No.”
