Khuzaima b. Jazi said he asked God’s messenger about eating a hyena, and he replied,“Does anyone eat a hyena ? ”He asked him about eating a wolf, and he replied,“Does any one with any good in him eat a wolf ? ”Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying its isnad is not strong.

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. ‘Uthman at-Taimi said:When we were with Talha b. Ubaidallah and were in the sacred state, some birds (The word tair may be either singular or plural. Mirqat, iii, 263 remarks that here it is plural ; if not, it must refer to a large bird, as several people seem to have been present) were presented to him while he was asleep, and some of us ate but others refrained. Then when Talha awoke he agreed with those who had eaten, saying,“We ate such along with God’s messenger.”Muslim transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Abbas said that God’s messenger had been detained, so he had his head shaved, had intercourse with his wives, and sacrificed his animals. Then he performed the ’umra the following year. Bukhari transmitted it.

‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar said:We went out with God’s messenger but the infidels of Quraish barred the way to the House, so the Prophet sacrificed his animals and had his head shaved, and his companions clipped their hair. Bukhari transmitted it.

Al-Miswar b. Makhrama said that God’s messenger sacrificed before having his head shaved and ordered his companions to do the same. Bukhari transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Umar said:Is the sunna of God’s messenger not enough for you ? If any of you is detained from the pilgrimage he should perform the circumambulation of the House and go between as-Safa, and al-Marwa, then come right out of the sacred state and perform the pilgrimage the following year. He should sacrifice an animal, or fast if he cannot get any. Bukhari transmitted it.

‘A’isha said that God’s messenger went in to visit Duba'a daughter of az-Zubair and said to her,“Perhaps you intended to perform the pilgrimage ?”She replied,“I swear by God that I am suffering from pain,”so he said,“Perform the pilgrimage, but make a proviso saying, ‘O God, the place where I take off the ihram will be where Thou restrainest me’.”Bukhari and Muslim.

Ibn ‘Abbas said that God’s messenger commanded his companions to substitute sacrificial animals at the ’umra of Fulfilment (‘Umra al-qada' The one performed in the year after the treaty made at al-Hudaibiya) for those they had sacrificed in the year of al-Hudaibiya. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Al-Hajjaj b. ‘Amr al-Ansari reported God’s messenger as saying,“If anyone breaks a leg or becomes lame he has come out of the sacred state and must perform the pilgrimage the following year.”Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it, and Abu Dawud added in another version“or becomes ill.”Tirmidhi said this is a hasan tradition, but in al-Masabih it is called weak.

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. Ya'mur ad-Dili told that he heard the Prophet say,“The pilgrimage is ‘Arafa. He who gets to ‘Arafa on the night of Jam' (This would suggest that one is credited with taking part in the halt at ‘Arafa if he gets there at any time before dawn on the night when the pilgrims are at al-Muzdalifa) before dawn has attained the pilgrimage. The days at Mina are three, but if anyone hurries over matters in two days he is guilty of no sin, and if anyone is late he is guilty of no sin.”Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.
