It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ride this she-camel and seat your sister Aisha behind you, then when you descend from the hill of Taneem, enter into Ihram and come (for Umrah). This was said on the night of departure.

. (Second chain) This hadith is also similar to the previous hadith, except that it states: When you descend from the hill of Taneem, then Aisha should enter into ihram, for indeed this ‘umrah will be accepted.

Saeed bin Jubair says: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): Abu al-Abbas! I am amazed that even regarding this place, the companions differ as to where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have the most knowledge about this. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed only one Hajj, and that is why this difference has arisen. The detail is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with the intention of Hajj. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached Dhul-Hulaifah and finished offering two rak‘ahs of prayer in his mosque, he recited the Talbiyah from there and donned the Ihram for Hajj. Those who heard this Talbiyah from him remembered it. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride and the she-camel stood up straight, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah again. Some people heard the Talbiyah for the first time then. The fact is that people were coming in different groups and caravans. In any case, when the she-camel stood up straight with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on it, at that time some people heard the Talbiyah from him and said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah after the she-camel stood up. After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proceeded further, and when he reached the hill of Bayda, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah again. Those who heard the Talbiyah from him there said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah upon reaching the hill of Bayda. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) started the Talbiyah from the place where he had prayed. After that, when his she-camel stood up straight, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Talbiyah again, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the hill of Bayda, he recited the Talbiyah then as well. Thus, those who have adopted the statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) recite the Talbiyah after finishing the two rak‘ahs of prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, performed the Zuhr prayer, then he mounted (his ride), and when he reached the mound of Baida, he proclaimed the Talbiyah.

Salim bin Abdullah says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: This is the place of Bayda, about which people attribute false statements to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assumed Ihram and recited the Talbiyah from the place where the Masjid Dhul-Hulaifah is now located.

(Second chain) When the mention of Baida’ was made before Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he would speak ill of it and then state that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had assumed Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his foot in the stirrup and his she-camel stood upright, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the Talbiyah from the place of the mosque at Dhul-Hulaifah.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to enter into Ihram, he would wash his head with khatmi herb and ushnan grass, and he would also apply some olive oil to his head.

Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: On the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, I applied perfume made from various substances to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own hands at the time of putting on the Ihram and at the time of taking it off. That is, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to put on the Ihram, I applied perfume, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned the Jamrah al-Aqabah before performing the Tawaf al-Ifadah on the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, I applied perfume at that time.

Urwah says: I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Which fragrance did you apply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? She said: The finest fragrance (i.e., musk).
