CHAPTER: Performing The Ifrad Hajj - باب: حج افراد کا بیان ۔ - The rites of hajj (kitab al-manasik wa'l-hajj) - Sunnan Abu Dawood with Urdu and English Translation

Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم performed Hajj exclusively (without performing Umrah in the beginning).

Aishah said: We went out along with The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم when the moon of the month of Dhu al-Hijja was going to appear shortly. When he reached Dhu al-Hulaifah he said: Anyone who wants to perform Hajj should raise his voice in Talbiyah for Hajj (after wearing Ihram); and he who wants to perform Umrah should raise his voice in talbiyah for an Umrah. The narrator Musa in the version of Wuhaib reported him (the Prophet) as saying if there were no sacrificial animals with me, I would raise my voice in talbiyah for an Umrah. But according to the version of Hammad bin Salamah, he said as for myself, I shall raise my voice in talbiyah for Hajj because I have sacrificial animal with me. The agreed version goes I (Aishah) was one of those persons who wore Ihram for an ‘Umrah. But on my way (to Makkah) I menstruated. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم entered upon me while I was weeping. He asked why are you weeping? I wished I would not come out (for Hajj) this year. He said give up your Umrah; untie your hair and comb. The version of Musa said and raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj (after wearing Ihram). Sulaiman’s version goes and do as all the Muslims do during their Hajj. When the night for performing the obligatory circumambulation (tawaf al-Ziyarah) came, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded Abdur-Rahman. He took her to al-Tan’im (instead of the words “her ‘Umrah”). She went round the Kaabah. Allah thus completed both her ‘Umrah and Hajj. Hisham said: No sacrificial animal was offered during all this time. In the version of Hammad bin Salamah, the narrator Musa added when the night of al-Batha came Ai’ shah was purified.

Aishah wife the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم narrated we went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at the farewell pilgrimage. Some of us had put on Ihram for Umrah and some both for Hajj and Umrah, when the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had put on Ihram for Hajj only. He who had put on Ihram for Umrah, put off Ihram after performing Umrah and he who had worn Ihram both for Hajj and Umrah or only for Hajj did not take it off till the tenth (of the month).

The aforesaid tradition has also been narrated by Abu al-Aswad through a different chain of narrators. This version adds he who raises his voice in talbiyah for Umrah (and wearing Ihram for it) should put off Ihram after performing Umrah.

Aishah the wife of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at the farewell pilgrimage and raised the voice in talbiyah for an ‘Umrah. The Apostel of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said those who have brought the sacrificial animals with them should raise their voices in talbiyah for Hajj along with an ‘Umrah and they should not put off their Ihram till they do so after performing them both. I came to Makkah while I was menstruating and I did not go round the House (the Kaabah) or run between al-Safa and al-Marwah. I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم he said: Undo your hair, comb it and raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj and let Umrah go. She said I did so. When we performed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent me along with Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to al-Ta’nim and I performed Umrah. He said, this is Umrah in place of the one you had missed. She said those who had raised their voices in talbiyah for Umrah put off Ihram after circumambulating the House (the Kaabah) and after running between al-Safa and al-Marwa. Then they performed another circumambulation for their Hajj after they returned from Mina but those who combined Hajj and Umrah performed only one circumambulation.

Aishah said: We raised our voices in talbiyah for Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I menstruated. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came upon me while I was weeping. He asked, why are your weeping, Aishah? I replied, I menstruated. Would that I had not come out for performing Hajj. He said: Glory be to Allah, this is a thing prescribed by Allah on the daughters of Adam. He said perform all the rites of Hajj but do not go round the House (the Kaabah). When we entered Makkah, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said he who desires to make (his Hajj) an Umrah may do so, except those who have sacrificial animals with them. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives on the day of sacrifice. When the night of al-Batha came, and Aishah was purified she said to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم my fellow female pilgrims will return after performing Hajj and Umrah and I shall return after performing only Hajj? He therefore, ordered Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr who took her to al-Ta’nim. She uttered there talbiyah for Umrah.

Aishah said “We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and we thought it nothing but a Hajj. When we came, we circumambulated the House (the Kaabah). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then commanded those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them to take off their ihram. Therefore those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them took off their ihram.

Aishah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying “If I had known beforehand about my affair what I have come to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animals with me. The narrator Muhammad (bin Yahya) said “ I think he (’Uthman bin Umar) said and I would have taken off my ihram with those who have put their ihram after performing ‘Umrah. He said “By this he intended that all the people might have performed equal rites (of Hajj)

Jabir said “We went out along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم raising our voices in talbiyah for Hakk alone (Ifrad) while Aishah raised her voice in talbiyah for an ‘Umrah. When she reached Sarif, she menstruated. When we came to (Makkah) we circumambulated the Kaabah and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then commanded us that those who had not brought sacrificial animals withthem should put off their ihram (after ‘Umrah). We asked “Which acts are lawful (and which not)? He replied All acts are lawful (that are permissible usually). We had therefore intercourse with our wives, used perfumes, put on our clothes. There remained only four days to perform Hajj at ‘Arafah. We then raised our voice in talbiyah (wearing Ihram for Hajj) on the eighth of Dhu al Hijjah. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم entered upon Aishah and found her weeping. He said What is the matter with you? My problem is that I have menstruated, while the people have put on their ihram but I have not done so, nor did I go round the House (the Kaabah). Now the people are proceeding for Hajj. He said This is a thing destined by Allah to the daughters of Adam. Take a bath, then raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj (i. e, wear ihram for Hajj). She took a abtah and performed all the rites of the Hajj (lit. she stayed at all those places where the pilgrims stay). When she was purified, she circumambulated the House (the Kaabah), and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah. He (the Prophet) said “Now you have performed both your Hajj and your ‘Umrah. She said Messenger of Allah, I have some misgiving in my mind that I did not go round the Kaabah when I performed Hajj (in the beginning). He said Abd al Rahman (her brother), take her and have her perform ‘Umrah from Al Tan’im. This happened on the night of Al Hasbah (i. e., the fourteenth of Dhu Al Hijjah).

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Jabir through a different chain of narrators. This version has The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj and then perform Hajj, and do so all the pilgrims do, except that you should not circumambulate the Hose (the Kaabah) and should not pray.

Jabir bin Abdullah said “We raised our voices in talbiyah along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم exclusively for Hajj, not combining anything with it. When we came to Makkah four days of Dhu al Hijjah had already passed. We the circumambulated (the Kaabah) and ran between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then commanded us to put off ihram. He said if I had not brought the sacrificial animals, I would have taken off Ihram. Suraqah bin Malik then stood up and said Messenger of Allah, what do you think, have you provided this facility to us for this year alone or forever? The Messenger of Allah said No, this forever and forever. Al Awza’l said I heard Ata bin Abi Rabah narrating this tradition, but I did not memorize it till I met Ibn Juraij who confirmed it for me.

Jabir said The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and his companions came to Makkah on the fourth of Dhu Al Hijjah. When they circumambulated the Kaabah and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said Change this (Hajj) into ‘Umrah, except those who have brought the sacrificial animals with them. When the eighth of Dhul Al Hijjah came, they raised their voices in talbiyah for Hall. When the tenth of Dhul Al Hijjah came, they circumambulated the Kaabah, but did not run between al Safa’ and Al Marwah.

Jabir bin Abdullah said The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and his companions raised their voices in talbiyah for Hajj. No one of them had brought the sacrificial animals with them except the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and Talhah. Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) had returned from Yemen and had brought sacrificial animals with him. He said I raised my voice in talbiyah for which the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم raised his voice. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded his companions to change it into ‘Umrah and clip their hair after running (between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah), and then take off their ihram except those who brought the sacrificial animals with them. They remarked should we go to Mina with our penises dripping with prostatic fluid? These remarks reached the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Thereupon he said “had I known before hand about my affair what I have come to know later, I would not have brought sacrificial animals. Had I not brought sacrificial animals with me, I would have put off my ihram. “

Ibn Abbas reported the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying This is an ‘Umrah from which we have benefitted. Anyone who has brought sacrificial animal with him should take off ihram totally. ‘Umrah has been included in Hajj till the Day of Judgment. Abu Dawud said This is a munkar (uncommon) tradition. This is in fact the statement of Ibn Abbas himself.

Ibn Abbas reported the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying If a man raises his voice in talbiya for Hajj, then he comes to Makkah, goes round the House (the Kaabah) and runs between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah he may take off his ihram. That will be considered as ihram for ‘Umrah. Abu Dawud said Ibn Juraij narrated from a man on the authority of Ata that the companions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم entered Makkah raising their voices in talbiyah for Hajj alone, but the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم changed it to ‘Umrah.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم raised his voice in talbiyah for hajj. When he came (to Makkah) he went round the House (the Kabah) and ran between as-Safa and al-Marwah. The narrator Ibn Shawkar said: He did not clip his hair, nor did he take off his ihram due to sacrificial animals. But he commanded those who did not bring sacrificial animals with them to go round the Kabah, to run between as-Safa and al-Marwah, to clip their hair, and then put off their ihram. The narrator Ibn Mani' added: Or shave their heads, then take off their ihram.

Narrated Saeed ibn al-Musayyab: A man from the Companions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He bore witness before him that when he (the Prophet) was suffering from a disease of which he died he heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prohibiting performing of Umrah before hajj.

Narrated Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan: Muawiyah said to the Companions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم: Do you know that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prohibited from doing so and so (and he prohibited from) riding on the skins of leopards? They said: Yes. He again said: You know that he prohibited combining hajj and Umrah. They replied: This we do not (know). He said: This was prohibited along with other things, but you forgot.

Anas said The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم passed the night at Dhu al Hulaifah till the morning came. He then rode (on his she Camel) which stood up with him on her back. When he reached al Baida, he praied Allaah, glorified Him and expressed His greatness. He then raised his voice in talbiyah for Hajj and ‘Umrah. The people too raised their voices in talbiyah for both of them. When we came (to Makkah), he ordered the people to take off their ihram and they did so. When the eight of Dhu Al Hijjah came, they again raised their voices in talbiyah for Hajj (i. e., wore ihram for Hajj). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sacrificed seven Camels standing with his own hand. Abu Dawud said The version narrated by Anas alone has the words. He began with the praise, glorification and exaltation of Allaah, then he raised his voice in talbiyah for Hajj.

Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: I was with Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم appointed him to be the governor of the Yemen. I collected some ounces of gold during my stay with him. When Ali returned from the Yemen to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم he said: I found that Fatimah had put on coloured clothes and the smell of the perfume she had used was pervading the house. (He expressed his amazement at the use of coloured clothes and perfume. ) She said: What is wrong with you? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم has ordered his companions to put off their ihram and they did so. Ali said: I said to her: I raised my voice in talbiyah for which the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم raised his voice (i. e. I wore ihram for qiran). Then I came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He asked (me): How did you do? I replied: I raised my voice in talbiyah, for which the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم raised his voice. He said: I have brought the sacrificial animals with me and combined Umrah and hajj. He said to me: Sacrifice sixty-seven or sixty-six camels (for me) and withhold for yourself thirty-three or thirty-four, and withhold a piece (of flesh) for me from every camel.
