It is narrated from Hazrat Miswar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Marwan (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with more than a thousand companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Upon reaching Dhul-Hulaifah, he put a collar on the sacrificial animal, marked it, and assumed Ihram from there. He sent a scout ahead and then himself proceeded.
