1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and from Safwan ibn Yahya Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is of the completion of al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah to assume the state of Ihram from Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) which are designated by the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. You must not pass them without assuming the state of Ihram. For the people of Iraq, he (the Messenger of Allah) assigned a place, and there were no people of Iraq, which is Batn al-‘Aqiq. In those days there was no Iraq. Batn al-‘Aqiq was for people from the direction of Iraq. He (the Messenger of Allah) designated Yalamlam for people of Yemen. Qarn al-Manazil is for people of Ta’if. Al-Juhfah is for people of al-Maghrib and it is Mahya‘. He (the Messenger of Allah) designated Dhu al-Hulayfah for people of al-Madinah. Those whose homes are behind these Mawaqit (places for assuming the state of Ihram) toward Makkah then their home is Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) for them.”’

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Mawaqit (places for assuming the state of Ihram) are five, which were designated as Miqat by the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. It is not proper for one who performs al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah to assume the state of Ihram before or after passing these places. For the people of al-Madinah, it is Dhul Hulayfah. It is Masjid al-Shajarah where one performs Salat (prayer) and makes al-Hajj obligatory. For the people of al-Sham, it is al-Juhfah and for people of Najd he (the Messenger of Allah) designated al-‘Aqiq. For the people of Ta’if he (the Messenger of Allah) designated Qarn al-Manazil, for people of Yemen he (the Messenger of Allah) designated Yalamlam. It is not proper for one not to assume the state of Ihram from places the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to your cause, has designated.”

He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah designated Dhu al-Hulayfah for the people of al-Madinah, for the people of al-Maghrib he (the Messenger of Allah) designated al-Juhfah and this is written with us as Mahya‘ah. For the people of Yemen, he (the Messenger of Allah) designated Yalamlam; Qarn al-Manazil is for people of Ta’if and for the people of Najd is al-‘Aqiq and also for those who come from Najd.’”
