Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, while explaining the interpretation of Allah Almighty’s statement «‏‏‏‏بَرَاءَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة التوبة: 1 ] , says that Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Hunayn, he performed ‘Umrah from Ji‘ranah, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as the leader (amir) of that Hajj.
