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.”’
