أَشْرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَلَقٍ مِنْ أَفْلَاقِ الْحَرَّةِ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: نِعْمَتِ الْأَرْضُ الْمَدِينَةُ، إِذَا خَرَجَ الدَّجَّالُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ أَنْقَابِهَا مَلَكٌ، لَا يَدْخُلُهَا، فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ، رَجَفَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ بِأَهْلِهَا ثَلَاثَ رَجَفَاتٍ، لَا يَبْقَى مُنَافِقٌ وَلَا مُنَافِقَةٌ إِلَّا خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَكْثَرُ - يَعْنِي: مَنْ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ - النِّسَاءُ، وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّخْلِيصِ، وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ تَنْفِي الْمَدِينَةُ الْخَبَثَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ، يَكُونُ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ سَاجٌ وَسَيْفٌ مُحَلًّى، فَتُضْرَبُ قُبَّتُهُ بِهَذَا الظَّرِبِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ مُجْتَمَعِ السُّيُولِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا كَانَتْ فِتْنَةٌ، وَلَا تَكُونُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ، أَكْبَرَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَلَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَقَدْ حَذَّرَهُ أُمَّتَهُ، وَلَأُخْبِرَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مَا أَخْبَرَهُ نَبِيٌّ أُمَّتَهُ قَبْلِي، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى عَيْنِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ
✧ The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, stood on a high place and we were with him. He said, "How blessed is the land of Madinah! When the Dajjal (Antichrist) appears, he will be unable to enter it. And when he does so, it will shake three times, expelling all the hypocrites. None will remain but that he will go out to him, and the majority of those who go out to him will be women. That will be the Day of Deliverance, and on that day Madinah will eliminate its impurities, just as the furnace removes impurities from iron. At that time, Madinah will have seventy thousand Jews, each of whom will be armed with a helmet and sword. These will be struck at their necks with the blow that will be with the assembly of rivers. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, said, "There has never been a greater trial or will be until the Hour than the trial of the Dajjal, and there has never been a prophet who warned his people about him without me warning you about him. And I will tell you something about him which no prophet before me has told his people. Then he put his hand on his eye and said, "I bear witness that Allah is not one-eyed."

✧ We went on a military expedition—or we traveled—with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we were that day two hundred and some. The prayer time came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Is there any water among the people?' A man came running with a small waterskin containing some water. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ poured it into a bowl. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed wudu and did it well. Then he finished and left the bowl, and the people rushed to the bowl, saying: 'Wipe, wipe.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Take it easy,' when he heard them saying that. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his palm in the water and the bowl, then said: 'In the name of Allah.' Then he said: 'Perform wudu thoroughly.' For by the One who has tested me with my sight, I saw the springs—springs of water—that day flowing from between the fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he did not lift his hand until they had all performed wudu.

✧ We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proclaiming the talbiyah for Hajj, and with us were women and children. When we reached Makkah, we circumambulated the House and ran between al-Safa and al-Marwah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: 'Whoever does not have a sacrificial animal with him should exit ihram.' We said: 'What kind of exiting?' He said: 'Complete exiting.' He said: So we went to our wives, put on our clothes, and applied perfume. When the day of Tarwiyah came, we proclaimed the talbiyah for Hajj, and the first tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwah sufficed for us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to share in camels and cows, every seven of us in one sacrificial animal. Then Suraqah b. Malik b. Ju'shum came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, clarify our religion for us as if we were just created. Do you consider this umrah of ours for this year of ours or forever?' He said: 'No, rather forever.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, clarify our religion for us as if we were just created. In what is the action today? Is it in what the pens have dried upon and the decrees have run with, or in what is to come?' He said: 'No, rather in what the pens have dried upon and the decrees have run with.' He said: 'Then in what is action?' Abu al-Nadr said in his hadith: I heard those who heard from Abu al-Zubayr say: He said: 'Act, for everyone is facilitated.'

The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to make it an 'Umra: to circumambulate, then shorten their hair and exit ihram, except those who had a sacrificial animal. They said: 'Shall we go to Mina with our private parts dripping (semen)?' This reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he said: 'If I had known then what I know now, I would not have brought a sacrificial animal, and had I not had the sacrificial animal with me, I would have exited ihram.' 'A'isha menstruated and performed all the rituals except that she did not circumambulate the Ka'ba. When she became pure, she circumambulated. She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will you set out with both Hajj and 'Umra while I set out with Hajj only?' So he ordered 'Abd al-Rahman to go with her to al-Tan'im, and she performed 'Umra after the Hajj in Dhu al-Hijja. Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'shum met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-'Aqaba while he was stoning it, and said: 'Is this for you only, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'No, rather it is forever.'

✧ When you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah, for they see what you do not see. And reduce going out when feet are still, for Allah [Mighty and Majestic] disperses in His night from His creation whatever He wills. And shut the doors and mention the name of Allah over them, for Satan does not open a door that has been shut and upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned. And tie the waterskins, cover the jars, and turn over the vessels.

✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered upon 'A'ishah while she was weeping. He said, "Why are you weeping?" She said, "I weep because the people have exited ihram and I have not, and they circumambulated the House and I did not, and this Hajj has arrived." He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed upon the daughters of Adam, so bathe and enter ihram for Hajj and perform Hajj." She said, "So I did that. When I became pure, he said, 'Circumambulate the House and between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then you have exited ihram from your Hajj and your 'Umrah.'" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I find in myself concerning my 'Umrah that I did not circumambulate until I had performed Hajj!" He said, "Take her, O 'Abd al-Rahman, and let her perform 'Umrah from al-Tan'im."

Abu 'Ubaidah said, "It is for the warriors and the hungry, so eat." So we ate. Abu 'Ubaidah would prop up one of his ribs from his side, and the rider would pass under it while his five companions would sit in the same spot. We ate from it and rubbed it on ourselves until our bodies were restored and our skins became healthy. When we arrived in Madinah, Jabir mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent us out, and appointed Abū ʿUbaydah over us to intercept a caravan of Quraysh. He provisioned us with a sack of dates, not finding anything else for us. Abū ʿUbaydah would give us one date at a time. I said, "How did you manage with it?" He said, "We would suck it as a child sucks, then drink water upon it, and it would suffice us for our day until night. We would also strike leaves with our sticks, then moisten them with water and eat them." He said, "We set out along the seashore, and a thing like a massive sand dune appeared to us on the shore. We came to it and found it was a creature called al-ʿanbar. Abū ʿUbaydah said, 'It is carrion.'" Ḥasan b. Mūsā said, "Then he said, 'No, rather we are the messengers of the Messenger of God ﷺ.'" Hāshim said in his narration, "He said: 'Then I said: No, rather we are the messengers of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and in the path of God. You have been compelled, so eat.' We stayed by it for a month while we were three hundred, until we grew fat. I saw us scooping oil from the socket of its eyes with large vessels, and cutting from it pieces like an ox — or like the size of an ox.

✧ The sun eclipsed during the time of [the Messenger of Allah] ﷺ, and that was the day on which Ibrahim ﷺ, the son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, died. The people said: "The sun has eclipsed only because of the death of Ibrahim." The Prophet ﷺ stood up and led the people in prayer with six bowings and four prostrations. He said the takbir, then recited and prolonged the recitation, then bowed for about as long as he had stood, then raised his head and recited less than the first recitation, then bowed for about as long as he had stood, then raised his head and recited a recitation less than the second recitation, then bowed for about as long as he had stood, then raised his head and descended into prostration and prostrated twice. Then he stood up and bowed three times before prostrating, in which there was no bowing except that the one before it was longer than the one after it, except that his bowing was about the same as his standing. Then he stepped back in his prayer, and the rows stepped back with him. Then he stepped forward and stood in his place, and the rows stepped forward. He completed the prayer after the sun had risen. Then he said: "O people, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they do not eclipse for the death of any human being. So when you see anything of that, pray until it clears. Indeed, there is nothing of what you are promised except that I have seen it in this prayer of mine. The Fire was brought, and that was when you saw me step back, fearing that some of its scorching heat would touch me, until I said: 'O Lord, am I to be among them?' And I saw in it the owner of the crooked staff dragging his intestines in the Fire. He used to steal from the pilgrims with his crooked staff, and if he was noticed, he would say: 'It only got caught on my staff,' but if no one noticed him, he would take it. And I saw in it the woman who tied up a cat, neither feeding it nor letting it eat from the vermin of the earth until it died of hunger. And Paradise was brought, and that was when you saw me step forward until I stood in my place. I stretched out my hand, wanting to take some of its fruit so that you could look at it, but then it occurred to me not to do so."

He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: 'Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.' A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: 'Why, O Messenger of Allah?'

أَتَيْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَهُوَ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ حَجَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَحَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَثَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ، ثُمَّ أُذِّنَ فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَاجٌّ هَذَا الْعَامَ. قَالَ: فَنَزَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ بَشَرٌ كَثِيرٌ، كُلُّهُمْ يَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ يَأْتَمَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَيَفْعَلَ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَشْرٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ، وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَى ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ نَفِسَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ، بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ ؟ قَالَ: اغْتَسِلِي، ثُمَّ اسْتَذْفِرِي بِثَوْبٍ، ثُمَّ أَهِلِّي. فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوَتْ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ عَلَى الْبَيْدَاءِ أَهَلَّ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ: لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ. وَلَبَّى النَّاسُ، وَالنَّاسُ يَزِيدُونَ: ذَا الْمَعَارِجِ. وَنَحْوَهُ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا، فَنَظَرْتُ مَدَّ بَصَرِي، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ رَاكِبٍ وَمَاشٍ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، عَلَيْهِ يَنْزِلُ الْقُرْآنُ، وَهُوَ يَعْرِفُ تَأْوِيلَهُ، وَمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ عَمِلْنَا بِهِ، فَخَرَجْنَا لَا نَنْوِي إِلَّا الْحَجَّ، حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْكَعْبَةَ، فَاسْتَلَمَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ [ ﷺ ] الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ، ثُمَّ رَمَلَ ثَلَاثَةً، وَمَشَى أَرْبَعَةً، حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ عَمَدَ إِلَى مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى. قَالَ [أَبِي: قَالَ] أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ - يَعْنِي: جَعْفَرًا - فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا بِالتَّوْحِيدِ، و قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ. ثُمَّ اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّفَا، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللهُ بِهِ، فَرَقِيَ عَلَى الصَّفَا، حَتَّى إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ كَبَّرَ، قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَصَدَقَ عَبْدَهُ، وَغَلَبَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى هَذَا الْكَلَامِ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْصَبَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي الْوَادِي رَمَلَ، حَتَّى إِذَا صَعِدَ مَشَى، حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَرْوَةَ فَرَقِيَ عَلَيْهَا، حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ عَلَيْهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَلَى الصَّفَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ السَّابِعُ عِنْدَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ لَمْ أَسُقِ الْهَدْيَ، وَلَجَعَلْتُهَا عُمْرَةً، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ فَلْيَحِلَّ، وَلْيَجْعَلْهَا عُمْرَةً؛ فَحَلَّ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ، فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ وَهُوَ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْمَرْوَةِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ ؟ فَشَبَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَصَابِعَهُ، فَقَالَ: لِلْأَبَدِ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: دَخَلَتِ الْعُمْرَةُ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. قَالَ: وَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَدِمَ بِهَدْيٍ، وَسَاقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَدْيًا، فَإِذَا فَاطِمَةُ ؓ قَدْ حَلَّتْ وَلَبِسَتْ ثِيَابًا صَبِيغًا، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ، فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَمَرَنِي [بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ]. قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ بِالْكُوفَةِ - قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ: قَالَ أَبِي: هَذَا الْحَرْفُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ جَابِرٌ - فَذَهَبْتُ مُحَرِّشًا أَسْتَفْتِي بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الَّذِي ذَكَرَتْ فَاطِمَةُ، قُلْتُ: إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ لَبِسَتْ ثِيَابًا صَبِيغًا، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ، وَقَالَتْ: أَمَرَنِي بِهِ أَبِي ! قَالَ: صَدَقَتْ، صَدَقَتْ، صَدَقَتْ، أَنَا أَمَرْتُهَا بِهِ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: وَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ: بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُهِلُّ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُكَ، قَالَ: وَمَعِي الْهَدْيُ، قَالَ: فَلَا تَحِلَّ. قَالَ: فَكَانَتْ جَمَاعَةُ الْهَدْيِ الَّذِي أَتَى بِهِ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، وَالَّذِي أَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِائَةً، فَنَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثَةً وَسِتِّينَ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَى عَلِيًّا، فَنَحَرَ مَا غَبَرَ، وَأَشْرَكَهُ فِي هَدْيِهِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَدَنَةٍ بِبَضْعَةٍ، فَجُعِلَتْ فِي قِدْرٍ، فَأَكَلَا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا، وَشَرِبَا مِنْ مَرَقِهَا. ثُمَّ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ: قَدْ نَحَرْتُ هَا هُنَا، وَمِنًى كُلُّهَا مَنْحَرٌ، وَوَقَفَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ: وَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا، وَعَرَفَةُ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ، وَوَقَفَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ وَقَفْتُ هَا هُنَا، وَالْمُزْدَلِفَةُ كُلُّهَا مَوْقِفٌ
✧ We came to Jabir b. 'Abdullah while he was among the Banu Salimah, and we asked him about the farewell pilgrimage of the Prophet ﷺ. He told us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Madinah for nine years without performing Hajj. Then it was announced among the people that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would perform Hajj that year. He said: Many people came down to Madinah, all of them seeking to follow the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and do as he did. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out when ten days remained of Dhu al-Qa'dah, and we set out with him. When he reached Dhu al-Hulayfah, Asma' bt. 'Umays gave birth to Muhammad b. Abi Bakr. She sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking: 'What should I do?' He said: 'Take a bath, then wrap yourself with a cloth, then enter ihram.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out, and when his she-camel stood him upright on al-Bayda', he entered ihram with the declaration of tawhid: 'Labbayk, O Allah, labbayk. Labbayk, You have no partner, labbayk. Indeed praise and blessing are Yours, and the dominion. You have no partner.' And the people began the talbiyah, and the people were adding: 'Dha al-ma'arij [Possessor of the Ascending Stairways]' and similar words, while the Prophet ﷺ listened and did not say anything to them. I looked as far as my eyes could see, and in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were riders and walkers, and behind him the like of that, and to his right the like of that, and to his left the like of that. Jabir said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was among us, and upon him the Qur'an was being sent down, and he knew its interpretation, and whatever he did, we did.' We set out intending nothing but Hajj, until we came to the Ka'bah. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ touched the Black Stone, then he walked briskly (ramal) for three rounds and walked normally for four, until when he finished he went to the Station of Ibrahim and prayed two rak'ahs behind it. Then he recited: 'And take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.' My father said: Abu 'Abdullah—meaning Ja'far—said: In them he recited the chapter of Tawhid and 'Say: O disbelievers.' Then he touched the Stone and went out to al-Safa. Then he recited: 'Indeed al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the rites of Allah.' Then he said: 'We begin with what Allah began with.' He ascended al-Safa until he saw the House, then he said the takbir and said: 'There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is capable of all things. There is no god but Allah. He fulfilled His promise, aided His servant, and defeated the confederates alone.' Then he supplicated, then he returned to this speech, then he descended. When his feet reached the bottom of the valley he walked briskly, and when he ascended he walked normally, until he came to al-Marwah and ascended it. When he saw the House, he said upon it as he had said upon al-Safa. When it was the seventh time at al-Marwah, he said: 'O people, if I had known before what I came to know after, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal, and I would have made it an 'Umrah. So whoever among you does not have a sacrificial animal, let him exit ihram and make it an 'Umrah.' So all the people exited ihram. Suraqah b. Malik b. Ju'shum, who was at the bottom of al-Marwah, said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is this for this year of ours or forever?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ interlaced his fingers and said: 'Forever, forever, forever.' Then he said: 'The 'Umrah has entered into the Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.' He said: 'Ali had arrived from Yemen with a sacrificial animal, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had brought a sacrificial animal with him from Madinah. Fatimah ؓ had exited ihram, worn dyed clothes, and applied kohl. 'Ali ؓ disapproved of that for her, so she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to do it.' He said: 'Ali said in Kufah—Ja'far said: My father said: Jabir did not mention this part—so I went, perturbed, to ask the Prophet ﷺ about what Fatimah mentioned. I said: 'Fatimah has worn dyed clothes and applied kohl, and she said: My father commanded me to do it.' He said: 'She spoke the truth, she spoke the truth, she spoke the truth. I commanded her to do it.' Jabir said: 'And he said to 'Ali: With what did you enter ihram?' He said: 'I said: O Allah, I enter ihram with what Your Messenger entered ihram with.' He said: 'And I have the sacrificial animal with me.' He said: 'Then do not exit ihram.' He said: 'The total number of sacrificial animals that 'Ali brought from Yemen and that the Prophet ﷺ brought was one hundred. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered sixty-three with his own hand, then he gave them to 'Ali and he slaughtered the rest, and he included him in his sacrificial animal. Then he ordered that a piece be taken from every camel, and they were put in a pot, and they ate from its meat and drank from its broth.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: 'I have slaughtered here, and all of Mina is a place of slaughter.' He stood at 'Arafah and said: 'I have stood here, and all of 'Arafah is a place of standing.' He stood at al-Muzdalifah and said: 'I have stood here, and all of al-Muzdalifah is a place of standing.'

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ: أَعَاذَكَ اللهُ مِنْ إِمَارَةِ السُّفَهَاءِ. قَالَ: وَمَا إِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: أُمَرَاءُ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي، لَا يَقْتَدُونَ بِهَدْيِي، وَلَا يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي، فَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ؛ فَأُولَئِكَ لَيْسُوا مِنِّي، وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلَا يَرِدُوا عَلَيَّ حَوْضِي، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ؛ فَأُولَئِكَ مِنِّي، وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ، وَسَيَرِدُوا عَلَيَّ حَوْضِي. يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ، الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ، وَالصَّلَاةُ قُرْبَانٌ - أَوْ قَالَ: بُرْهَانٌ -. يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ لَحْمٌ نَبَتَ مِنْ سُحْتٍ، النَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ. يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ، النَّاسُ غَادِيَانِ، فَمُبْتَاعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا، وَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُوبِقُهَا
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said to Ka'b b. 'Ujrah: May Allah protect you from the rule of the foolish. He said: And what is the rule of the foolish? He said: Rulers who will come after me, who will not follow my guidance and will not practice my Sunnah. Whoever believes them in their lies and helps them in their oppression—those are not of me, and I am not of them, and they will not come to my Pond. But whoever does not believe them in their lies and does not help them in their oppression—those are of me, and I am of them, and they will come to my Pond. O Ka'b b. 'Ujrah, fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sin, and prayer is a means of nearness—or he said: a proof—. O Ka'b b. 'Ujrah, no flesh that grew from unlawful earnings will enter Paradise; the Fire is more deserving of it. O Ka'b b. 'Ujrah, people set out in two directions: one who buys his own soul and sets it free, and one who sells his own soul and destroys it.

مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِعُكَاظٍ، وَمَجَنَّةَ، وَفِي الْمَوَاسِمِ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ: مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي ؟ مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي ؟ حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ. حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ - كَذَا قَالَ: - فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ، لَا يَفْتِنْكَ، وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ، وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ، حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللهُ لَهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ، فَآوَيْنَاهُ وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ، فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا، فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ. ثُمَّ ائْتَمَرُوا جَمِيعًا، فَقُلْنَا: حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ، وَيَخَافُ ؟ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا، حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ، فَوَاعَدْنَاهُ شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ، فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ، حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ ؟ قَالَ: تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ، وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللهِ لَا تَخَافُونَ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ، وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي فَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ، وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ. قَالَ: فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِهِمْ، فَقَالَ: رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ، فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً، وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ، وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ، فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللهِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ جَبِينَةً، فَبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ، فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ. قَالُوا: أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَا أَسْعَدُ، فَوَاللهِ، لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا، وَلَا نَسْلُبُهَا أَبَدًا. قَالَ: فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا، وَشَرَطَ، وَيُعْطِينَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following people in their dwellings at Ukaz, Majanna, and in the seasons at Mina, saying: Who will shelter me? Who will help me, so that I may convey the message of my Lord, and for him is Paradise? Until a man would come out from Yemen or from Egypt—thus he said—and his people would come to him and say: Beware of the youth of Quraysh, lest he tempt you. And he would walk among their camps while they pointed at him with fingers, until God sent us to him from Yathrib. We sheltered him and believed him. A man from us would go out, believe in him, and he would teach him the Quran. He would return to his family, and they would become Muslim because of his Islam, until there remained no house among the houses of the Ansar but that it had a group of Muslims openly professing Islam. Then they all conspired together, and we said: Until when shall we leave the Messenger of God ﷺ to be driven away in the mountains of Makkah, and to fear? Seventy men from us traveled to him, until they came to him in the season. We appointed with him the mountain pass of al-Aqaba. We gathered with him one or two men at a time, until we all met. We said: O Messenger of God, upon what shall we pledge allegiance to you? He said: You pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obedience in activity and in laziness, and upon spending in hardship and in ease, and upon commanding the right and forbidding the wrong, and that you speak concerning God and do not fear the blame of any blamer concerning God, and that you help me and protect me when I come to you from what you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children from. And for you is Paradise. He said: So we stood up to him and pledged allegiance to him. As'ad b. Zurara took hold of his hand, and he was one of the youngest of them, and said: Gently, O people of Yathrib, for we have not struck the livers of camels except that we know he is the Messenger of God ﷺ, and that his expulsion today means separation from all the Arabs, the killing of your best ones, and that the swords will bite you. So either you are people who will bear that patiently, and your reward is upon God, or you are people who fear for yourselves out of cowardice, so make that clear, for it is a better excuse for you before God. They said: Put aside from us, O As'ad, for by God, we will never abandon this pledge ever, and we will never revoke it ever. He said: So we stood up to him and pledged allegiance to him. He took from us and stipulated, and gives us for that Paradise.

Rather, I choose Allah and His Messenger, and I ask you not to mention to any of your wives what I have chosen."

✧ We differed here about the watering-place. Some of us said: No believer enters it, and some of us said: They all enter it, then Allah saves those who were mindful. I met Jabir b. Abdullah and said to him: We have differed here about the watering-place. He said: They all come to it—and Sulayman said once: They all enter it—so I said to him: We have differed about that. Some of us said: No believer enters it, and some of us said: They all enter it. He put his two fingers to his ears and said: May they be deaf if I did not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The watering-place is the entry. No righteous or wicked person remains but enters it, and it will be coolness and peace upon the believer, as it was upon Ibrahim, until the Fire—or he said: Jahannam—has a clamor from their coolness. Then Allah saves those who were mindful and leaves the wrongdoers in it on their knees.

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ نِدَاءَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَرَّ بُعْدَ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّوْحَاءِ، وَالْمَدِينَةِ، لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, when Satan hears the call to prayer, he flees a distance equivalent to the length between Al-Rawha' and Al-Madinah, and he is in a state of extreme distress."
Musnad Ahmad 14611Sahih
سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا: أَسَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي كَثْرَةِ خُطَا الرَّجُلِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ: هَمَمْنَا أَنْ نَنْتَقِلَ مِنْ دُورِنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لِقُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَزَجَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: لَا تُعْرُوا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فَضِيلَةً عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةً.
✧ I asked Jabir: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything about a man's many steps to the mosque? He said: We considered moving from our dwellings to Madinah because of the proximity of the mosque, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rebuked us for that and said: "Do not leave Madinah empty, for you have a virtue over those who are near the mosque: for every step there is a degree."
Musnad Ahmad 14612Sahih
خَيْرُ مَا رُكِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الرَّوَاحِلُ مَسْجِدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ [عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ]، وَمَسْجِدِي.
