(Second chain) Sayyida narrates: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to me one day and said: Today I have performed an action, and I wish I had not done it. I entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah), and now I fear that a man may come from a distant region, but when he is unable to enter the House of Allah, he will return in such a state that there will be a kind of restlessness in his soul.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: O Messenger of Allah! All your wives have entered the House of Allah (Ka'bah) except me (and I have not entered). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Send a message to Shaybah that he should open the door for you. So she sent the message, but Shaybah said: Neither in the time of ignorance did we have the authority, nor do we have it now in Islam, to open it at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Then perform prayer in the Hijr, because when your people built the House of Allah, due to lack of funds, they made it smaller. In another narration: Perform prayer in the Hijr, for it is also a part of the House of Allah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would return from any battle, Hajj, or Umrah journey, and would ascend a hard and elevated part of the land or any high place, he would recite this supplication: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest... and He alone defeated the confederates. (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no deity except Him, He is alone and has no partner, sovereignty belongs to Him and all praise is for Him, and He has power over all things. We are returning (to our homeland), repenting (from disobedience to obedience), prostrating, worshipping, and praising our Lord. Allah fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and He alone defeated the armies.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from Hajj, he performed prayer in the valley of Batha. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Madinah Munawwarah, he made his camel kneel at the door of the mosque and entered the mosque to perform prayer, then proceeded towards his home. Imam Nafi’ says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to do the same.

Habib bin Abi Thabit says: I went out with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) to meet those returning from the performance of Hajj; we would greet them with salam before they became soiled due to sins.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When you meet a pilgrim, greet him with peace and shake hands with him, and ask him to pray for your forgiveness before he enters his house, because at that time he is forgiven.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer at the place of Dhul-Hulaifah. Then his camels were brought to him; he (peace and blessings be upon him) marked them on the right side of their humps, then wiped away the blood from it, and put collars of two pairs of sandals on them. Then his (peace and blessings be upon him) mount was brought, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on it and it stood with him at the place of Baida, he (peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed the Talbiyah for Hajj.
