It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that in the early days of Hajj the people used to buy and sell at Mina, Arafat, the market of Dhu al-Majaz and the other seasons of Hajj. Then they became afraid of trading while in the state of ihram, so Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse regarding the seasons of Hajj: "There is no sin upon you in seeking bounty (through trade) from your Lord." [Surah al-Baqarah: 198] This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
