118. THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH’S STAY AT MASH‘AR AL- HARAMAND HIS DEPARTURE FROM MUZDALIFAH
Allah says: “Then, when you leave ‘Arafat, remember Allah (by glorifying His Praises, i.e. prayers and invocations, etc.) at the Mash‘ar Al- Haram.” (Soorah Al-Baqarah 2:198)
Jabir narrated in his Hadith the he then offered the Fajr prayer, when dawn had become clear, with one Adhan and Iqamah. Then he mounted Al-Qaswa’ till he came to Al-Mash‘ar Al-Haram. He faced the Qiblah and supplicate to Allah, saying “Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah” and extolling His unity. He remained standing until the sky turned yellow and he departed before sunrise and he made Fadhl Ibn ‘Abbas sit behind him.
On the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: “I heard ‘Amr Ibn Maimoon say: I witnessed ‘Umar praying at Jam’ (Muzdalifah) and he stood and said: ‘The polytheists would not to depart until sunrise and they would say: Hurry to sacrifice. But Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), would depart before sunrise’.”
‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Yazeed narrated: “I went out with ‘Abdullah to Makkah and when we proceeded to Jam’ he offered the two prayers (the Maghreb and the ‘Isha’) together, making the Adhan and Iqamah separately for each prayer. He took his supper in between the two prayers. He offered the Fajr prayers as soon as the day dawned. Some people said: ‘The day had dawned (at the time of the prayer),’ and others said, ‘The day had not dawned.’ ‘Abdullah then said: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), said: ‘These two prayers have been shifted from their stated times at this place only (at AlMuzdalifah) ; first:The Maghreb and the ‘Isha’. So the people should not arrive at Al-Muzdalifah until the ‘Isha’ prayer becomes due. The second prayer is the morning prayer which is offered at this hour.’’ Then ‘Abdullah stayed there until it became a bit brighter. He then said: “If the Amirul Mu’mineen hastened onward to Mina just now, then he had indeed followed theSunnah.” I do not know which preceded the other, ‘Abdullah’s statement or the departure of ‘Uthman. ‘Abdullah was reciting Talbiyah until he stoned the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering) (i.e. the 10th of DhulHijjah).
Imam Ahmad related on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), departed from Muzdalifah before sunrise. Ibn ‘Abbas narrated that Usamah was riding behind the Prophet from ‘Arafat to Muzdalifah and then Fadhl rode behind him fromMuzdalifah to Mina and each one of them reported that the Prophet did not cease uttering the Talbiyah until he stoned the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah.
Fadhl Ibn ‘Abbas who was riding behind Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), narrated that on the eve of ‘Arafah and on the morning of Jam‘ (Muzdalifah) the Messenger of Allah, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), said to the people when they were returning: “Go gently!” Meanwhile, he held his camel until he entered Muhassir in Mina, and then said: “Be careful to pick only small pebbles with which you will stone the Jamrah.” The Prophet, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) did not cease uttering the Talbiyah until he stoned the Jamrah. Jabir said concerning the pilgrimage of the Prophet: Till he came to Muhassir then he quickened his pace slightly.
On the authority of ‘Ali who narrated: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), stood at ‘Arafat and said: “This is a place of standing and all of it is a place of standing.” Then he departed when the sun had set and he made Usamah ride behind him. He kept stretching his neck on his camel while the people thronged on by his right and left. Turning to them he would say: “Gently, O people.” Then he came to Jam’ and he offered the two prayers: Maghreb and ‘Isha’ and spent the night until the following morning when he came to Quzah (a mountain at the end of Muzdalifah) and stood on it and said: “This is a place of standing and all of Jam’ is a place of standing.” Then he proceeded until he came to Muhassir, he stood on it and struck his camel and it moved faster until he went past the valley and then he restrained it. He made Fadhl sit behind him and proceeded until he came to the Jamrah. He stoned it and then went to the slaughtering place and said: “This is a place of slaughtering and all of Mina is a place of slaughtering.” A young lady from Khath‘am came to ask him a question. She said: “My father is a decrepit old man and the obligation of Hajj had become due from him, will it suffice for him if I undertake it on his behalf?” The Prophet, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), answered: “Yes, so undertake it on behalf of your father.” Meanwhile, he had turned the neck of Fadhl and ‘Abbas said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, why have you turned the neck of the son of your uncle?” The Messenger of Allah, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) , replied: “I saw a young man and a young lady and I do not have security from Shaitan (for them).”
A man came to him and said: “O Allah’s Messenger! I shaved before I was slaughtered.” He replied: “ (Go ahead and) slaughter, there is no problem.” Another person came to him and asked: “I did Ifadah before I shaved.” He replied: “ (Go ahead and) shave your hair, there is no problem.” Then he came to the House and circumambulated it and then he went to Zamzam and said: “O children of ‘Abdul-Muttalib, were it not that people might contend with you over your provision of water (for pilgrims), I would have taken it over.”That has been authentically related by a number of Companions and it is authentic that the two chiefs used to do that.
