It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever dies in a certain state, Allah will raise him in that very state.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the intention of Hajj, and we had no other intention except Hajj. When we reached the place of Sarif, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) began her menstrual period. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Aisha and found her weeping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked her the reason for her crying, and she replied, "I am crying because my period has started." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is something Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam." We reached Makkah Mukarramah on the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah, performed Tawaf of the House of Allah, and did Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and by the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we became completely halal (came out of the state of Ihram). Some people began to say, "We set out only with the intention of Hajj, we had no other intention except Hajj. When only four days remained between us and Arafat, this command came. Does this mean that when we proceed towards Arafat, impure drops will be dripping from our private parts?" When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he delivered a sermon and said: "Umrah has been included in Hajj. If I had known beforehand what I came to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me, and if I did not have the sacrificial animal with me, I too would have become halal. Therefore, whoever does not have the sacrificial animal should become halal." And Suraqah bin Malik came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of stoning Jamrah Aqabah and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this command specific to this year or forever?" He replied: "This command is forever." Then we reached Arafat, and after returning from there, Sayyidah Aisha said, "O Messenger of Allah! You all are returning with both Hajj and Umrah, while I am returning with only Hajj." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed her brother Abdur Rahman to take her to Tan'eem, so Sayyidah Aisha performed Umrah in Dhul-Hijjah after Hajj, and after performing Umrah from Tan'eem, she returned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with the intention of performing Hajj. We reached Makkah Mukarramah on the 4th of Dhul-Hijjah. We performed the Tawaf of the House of Allah, prayed two rak‘ahs of Tawaf, and performed Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah. According to the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we had our hair shortened. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Become halal (come out of the state of Ihram)." We asked: "O Messenger of Allah! How?" He said: "Just as perfume becomes halal for a non-Muhrim woman." So the people secluded themselves with their wives and started applying perfume. Some people began to say that we had set out only with the intention of Hajj, and we had no other intention besides Hajj. When there were four days left between us and ‘Arafat, this command came, meaning that when we set out towards ‘Arafat, drops of impurity would be dripping from our private parts. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to know of this, he delivered a sermon and said that ‘Umrah has been included in Hajj. If this matter had come to me earlier, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me, and if I did not have the Hadi (sacrificial animal) with me, I too would have become halal. Therefore, whoever does not have the Hadi should become halal. Learn the rites of Hajj from me. Then he allowed the people to remain in the state of non-Ihram until the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, when the order to proceed to Mina was given, and they donned the Ihram for Hajj. On this journey, whoever had the Hadi with him, sacrifice was obligatory upon him, and whoever did not have it, fasting was obligatory upon him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) included seven people in one camel and one cow. And remember that for Hajj and ‘Umrah, they performed the Tawaf of the House of Allah only once, and the Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah only once.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), thinking that we were going for Hajj. When we reached Makkah Mukarramah, it was announced that whoever among you does not have a sacrificial animal should come out of Ihram, and whoever has a sacrificial animal should remain in Ihram. So, the people performed Umrah and came out of Ihram, except for those who had a sacrificial animal. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also remained in the state of Ihram; he had one hundred camels with him. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Ali also came from Yemen, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him: "With what intention did you put on Ihram?" He replied: "I made the intention that, O Allah, I put on the same Ihram as Your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has put on." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave him more than thirty camels, and both of them remained in the state of Ihram until the sacrificial animal reached its place.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People are like mines of gold and silver; those who were the best in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance are the best in Islam as well, provided they gain understanding of the religion.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, he proceeded with calmness, but in the valley of Muhassir he quickened the pace of his mount. He showed them pebbles like date stones and instructed them to walk with tranquility and dignity. He said, "My Ummah should learn the rites of Hajj, for perhaps I may not meet them again next year."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: The feet of a person who become dusty in the way of Allah will be made unlawful for the Fire.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My house is far, I cannot see, but I do hear the call to prayer." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you hear the call to prayer, then respond to its call, even if you have to come crawling on your knees."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was preparing an army. Half the night passed in this task, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: The people have prayed and gone to sleep, and you have remained in prayer for as long as you waited for the prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wishes to fast should partake of suhoor with something.
