102. THE EXPLANATION OF THE PLACE FROM WHERE ALLAH’S MESSENGER (PBUH)BEGAN HIS TALBIYAH
On the authority of ‘Umar who narrated (that the Messenger Of Allah said): “Tonight a messenger came to me from my Lord and asked me to pray in this blessed valley and to assume Ihram for Hajj and ‘Umrah together.” Salim Ibn ‘Abdullah said: I heard my father say, “Never did Allah’s Messenger assume Ihram except at the mosque, that is, at the Mosque of Dhul Hulaifah.” However, Ibn ‘Umar has narrated something contrary to that as related on another angle which is related in the Saheehain from Ibn ‘Umar and he mentioned a Hadith concerning that, which is that ‘Abdullah said: “As for uttering the Talbiyah, I did not see Allah’s Messenger utter it until his camel proceeded with him.” Al-Bukhari has said this in the chapter of facing the Qiblah to utter the Talbiyah.
On the authority of Nafi’ who narrated that whenever Ibn ‘Umar offered the morning prayers at Dhul-Hulaifah, he would call for his camel and mount it. When it stood upright, he would face the Qiblah and then pronounce the Talbiyah until he reached the
sacred precinct. Then he would discontinue until he got to Dhi Tuwa. He would spend the night until the following morning. After offering the morning Salat, he would take a bath and he claimed that Allah’s Messenger did the same thing.
On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas who narrated: The Prophet, (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with his Companions started from Madinah after combing and oiling his hair and putting on two sheets of Ihram. He did not forbid anyone to wear any kind of sheets except the ones colored with saffron because they may leave the scent on the skin. In the early morning, the Prophet, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) mounted his riding animal while in Dhul-Hulaifah and set out until they reached Baida’, where he and his Companions recited Talbiyah, and then they did the ceremony of Taqleed (which means to put the colored garlands around the necks of the sacrificial animals). And all that happened on the 25th of Dhul-Qa‘dah.
When he reached Makkah on the 4th of Dhul-Hijjah he performed the Tawaf round the Ka‘bah and Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah. Since he had a sacrificial animal with him and had garlanded it, he did exit from his Ihram. He proceeded toward the highest places of Makkah near Al-Hajoon and as he had assumed the Ihram for Hajj, he did not go near the Ka‘bah after he performed Tawaf until he returned from ‘Arafah. Then he ordered his companions to perform Tawaf and then the Tawaf of Safa and Marwah, and to cut short the hair of their heads and to exit from their Ihram. This was only for those people who had not garlanded a Burn. Those who had their wives with them were permitted to have sexual relations with them, and similarly use perfume and (ordinary) clothes were permissible for them. These narrations from Ibn ‘Abbas in which Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) began his Talbiyah after his The camel stood upright, and was more authentic and well- established than the Hadith of Khusaif Al-Jazari from Sa’eed Ibn Jubair. And Allah (SWT) knows best.
The narrations that are well-established and clarify that he began the Talbiyah when his mount stood upright with him have precedence over others because of the probability that he assumed his Ihram at the mosque when his camel had stood upright with him. Thus the narration containing his riding his camel would then be an additional information above the others. And Allah (SWT) knows best.
