It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Mudarris that I once presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was at Muzdalifah. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have come to you from between the two mountains of Banuti. I have exhausted myself for this purpose and put my mount through hardship. By Allah, I have not left any long stretch of sand where I did not stop. Has my Hajj been accepted? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever participated with us in the Fajr prayer today and stood with us until he returned towards Mina, and before that he had stood at Arafat by night or day, then his Hajj is complete and his effort has been accepted.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri once came to the house of Sayyiduna Qatadah and saw tharid made with the meat of Eid al-Adha placed in a bowl. He refused to eat it. Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Nu'man came to him and informed him that on one occasion, during Hajj, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood and said: I had previously commanded you not to eat the meat of sacrifice for more than three days so that it would suffice for everyone. Now I permit you; now you may eat it for as long as you wish. And he said: Do not sell the meat of the hady and sacrificial animals; eat it yourselves or give it in charity, and you may also benefit from their skins. If you can feed someone their meat, then you yourselves may also eat it for as long as you wish.

He said: Hajjaj narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, he said: Abu al-Zubayr informed me, from Jabir, similar to the hadith of Zubayd from Abu Sa'id, but he did not reach all of that, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri and Sayyiduna Qatadah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Eat the meat of the sacrifice and store it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from eating the meat of sacrifice for more than three days: Once, I went on a journey, and when I returned home, only a few days had passed since Eid al-Adha. My wife brought beetroot cooked with meat. I asked her where this meat came from. She replied that it was from the sacrifice. I said to her, "Did not the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbid us from eating it for more than three days?" She said, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) later permitted it." I did not confirm this and sent a man to my brother, Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Nu'man, who was a participant in Badr, to ask about this issue. He sent back the reply: "You may eat it; your wife is correct. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave permission to the Muslims regarding this."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa’ah Juhani that once we were returning from Makkah Mukarramah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached the place of Kudayd, some people began to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to return to their families. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them permission. Then he stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said: What is the matter with people that the part of the tree which is near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is more disliked by them than the other part? At that time, we saw all the people weeping. Then a man said: From now on, whoever asks you for permission to leave will be foolish. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Alhamdulillah and said: Now I bear witness that whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, with sincerity of heart and correct intention, and dies in this state, will enter Paradise. And my Lord has promised me that He will admit into Paradise seventy thousand people from my Ummah without any reckoning or punishment, and I hope that they will not enter Paradise until you and your forefathers and your wives and children, those who are worthy of it, also enter Paradise. And he said: When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and announces: I will not ask anyone else about My servants. Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? Who is there who prays to Me so that I may accept his prayer? And who is there who asks of Me so that I may grant him? This announcement continues until the break of dawn.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa’ah Juhani that once we were returning from Makkah Mukarramah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached the place of Kudaydi, some people began to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to return to their families. Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and said: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr said: From now on, whoever asks you for permission to leave will be foolish. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Alhamdulillah and said: Now I bear witness that whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, with sincerity of heart and correct intention, and dies in this state, will enter Paradise. Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Hassan ibn Musa narrated to us, he said: Shaiban narrated to us, from Yahya, meaning Ibn Abi Kathir, he said: Hilal ibn Abi Maymuna narrated to me, a man from the people of al-Madina, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Rifaa ibn Araba al-Juhani, he said: We came with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, until when we were at al-Kadid, or he said: at Arafat, then he mentioned the hadith.

At that time, we saw all the people weeping. Then a man said that from now on, whoever asks you for permission to leave will surely be foolish. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Alhamdulillah and said: Now I bear witness that whoever dies bearing witness to La ilaha illallah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, with sincerity of heart and correct intention, will enter Paradise. And my Lord has promised me that He will admit into Paradise seventy thousand people from my Ummah without any reckoning or punishment, and I hope that they will not enter Paradise until you and your forefathers and your wives and children, those who are worthy of it, also enter Paradise. And he said that when half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and announces: I will not ask anyone else about My servants. Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? Who is there who supplicates to Me so that I may accept his supplication? And who is there who asks of Me so that I may grant him? This announcement continues until the break of dawn.
