Assuming the State of Ihram on the Day of al-Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hajjah)

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Safwan from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when it is the day of al-Tarwiyah, by the will of Allah, you should take a bath and dress up in your two pieces of cloth, enter the Sacred Masjid barefoot, with calmness and dignity. Thereafter perform two Rak’at Salat (prayer) near the station of Ibrahim or in al-Hijr, then wait until the sun declines toward the west, thereafter perform the obligatory Salat (prayer). After your Salat (prayer), you must say what you had said when assuming Ihram in Masjid of al-Shajarah. Thereafter assume Ihram for al-Hajj. You should move on with calmness and dignity. When you arrive at al-Rafda’ (name of a place) before al-Radm (name of a place), then say Talbiyah. When you arrive in al-Radm wherefrom you can see al-Abtah (name of a place), then raise your voice saying Talbiyah until you arrive in Mina.”

I do it for Your sake and for the sake of the next life. Release me as You have withheld me by Your power.’ Thereafter say Talbiyah (here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command) from Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Masjid), just as you had done when assuming the state of Ihram and say, ’Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command during my performing the acts of al-Hajj and I leave its completion and acceptability to You.’ Your leaving for Mina’ if possible should take place at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime); if this cannot happen then whenever possible you should leave, on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al- Hajjah) is fine.’”
