Hadith record

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Mehran ibn abu Nasr from his brother Rabah who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), in al-Kufah, we narrate that Ali (a.s.), has said, ‘It is of the completion of al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah for one to assume the state of Ihram from the (sweet) home of his family.’ Is this what he (the Imam) has said?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said it about those whose homes are behind Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) (closer to Makkah than Miqat to Makkah). Had it been as they say it is, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would prohibit saying, ‘You must not go with your clothes to al-Shajarah (Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram for people of al-Madinah)).”’
