It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that performing ghusl when intending to enter ihram and when entering Makkah al-Mukarramah is part of the Sunnah.

It is narrated from Najiyah al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him), the keeper of the sacrificial camels of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! What should I do with those sacrificial animals that collapse (on the way), injured or exhausted? He (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me: "Whichever she-camel collapses from exhaustion, slaughter it, then dip its sandal (na'l) in its blood and mark it (on one side of its hump, so that it is known to be a sacrificial animal), and then leave it for the people so that they may eat it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

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: "Whoever sends off a voluntary sacrificial animal and it then goes astray, if he wishes he may offer a replacement for it and if he wishes he may leave it; but if it was a sacrifice of a vow (obligatory), then it must be replaced." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that ihram for Hajj is to be entered only in the months of Hajj, for it is part of the Sunnah of Hajj that ihram for Hajj be entered in the months of Hajj. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. A debate took place concerning this hadith between me and our Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Sabi'i. He rejected it and said: People narrate it through Hajjaj bin Artah, so from where did your Shaykh get it through Shu'bah? I said: Reflect a little, for our Shaykh has narrated both chains; at which he was left without a reply.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Banu Abd Manaf! Never prevent anyone from performing tawaf of this House (the House of Allah) and from praying here, at whatever hour of the night or day he wishes to perform tawaf or pray." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no room in Islam for sarurah (that is, not performing Hajj despite being able to, or shunning marriage and adopting monasticism)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no concept of sarurah (avoiding the performance of Hajj, or renouncing the world) in Islam." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever intends to perform Hajj should hasten (to perform it)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Other hadith scholars have named its narrator Abu Safwan as Mihran (a client of Quraysh), and he is free of criticism.

Harith bin Suwayd narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Perform Hajj before (the time comes when) you cannot perform Hajj, for it is as if I can see an Abyssinian with small ears and crooked feet, with a pickaxe in his hand, pulling down the House of Allah brick by brick." I said to him: Is this something you are saying from your own opinion, or did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: "No, by the One who split the seed and created the soul! Rather, I heard it from your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Abu Umamah al-Taymi narrates: I used to hire out mounts on the road to Makkah, and some people said to me that (because of doing trade) your Hajj does not count. Then I met Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! I hire out mounts on this road, and people say that my Hajj is not accepted. He asked: "Do you not enter ihram, recite the talbiyah, perform tawaf, depart from Arafat and stone the Jamarat?" I said: Of course (I do all of this). He said: "Then indeed your Hajj is valid. A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him the same question you have asked me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and gave him no answer until this verse was revealed: 'There is no sin upon you in seeking the bounty of your Lord (through trade)' [Surah al-Baqarah: 198] . Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for him, recited this verse to him and said: 'Your Hajj is valid.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
