‘I was in Masjid al-Haram and I saw a dinar. I bent down to take it and there was another dinar. I searched in the pebbles and found a third one. I took them and publicized but no one knows them.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family wor

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, mentioned al- Hajj.

“I would perform Hajj every year. One year in which people suffered severe hardships, my people told me to consider my performing Hajj that year; that I should instead of spending for Hajj, give it in charity. It can be more beneficial than performing Hajj. I then asked them, ‘Do you think that is right?’ They replied,

18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ’A‘yan who has said the following: “Once, a group of our people performed al-Hajj, and when they arrived in al-Madinah, went to visit abu Ja‘far (a.s.). They said that Zurarah has told them to commence their al-Hajj

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Badanah (a camel) that I bought, and what should I do. He (the Imam) said, ‘Take it with you until you reach Masjid al-Shajarah.

‘Al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is not for people of Sarif, Marr (names of two places) and people of Makkah; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “That is for those whose family is present in Masjid al-Haram.” (2:196)’”

He (the Imam) said, ‘When you see the new moon of Dhu al-Hajj ah then go out to al-Ja‘ranah, then assume the state of Ihram from there for al-Hajj.’ I then asked, ‘What am I required to do if I enter Makkah and remain ther

“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

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman of our family who was with us and was ignorant of Ihram, so she did not assume the state of Ihram until we entered Makkah and we forgot to tell her about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can instruct her to assume the state of Ihram from wherever she is in Mak

‘Take Ghusl (bath) in al-Madinah; I am afraid you may face difficulties to find water in Dhul Hulayfah, so take Ghusl (bath) in al-Madinah, wear your cloth of Ihram, then come to me one by one or two people at a time.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once took Ghusl (bath) for Ihram, then entered Masjid al-Shajarah and performed Salat (prayer), then came out to the servants and said, ‘Bring us of the meat from hunting so we can eat.’”

“I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who performs al-Zuhr in Masjid al-Shajarah, assumes the state of Ihram, then touches perfumes, or a prey or involves in sexual relation. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is nothing on him because of such things before his saying

He (the Imam) (a.s.), wrote the answer, ‘Yes,’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you perform Salat (prayer) in Masjid of al- Shajarah say after your Salat (prayer), when you are still sitting and before you stand up, what a person in the state of Ihram says. Then stand up and walk for a mile when al-Bayda’ is before you and is level with you, then say Talbiya

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if he can say Talbiyah aloud in Masjid of al-Shajarah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is permissible. The Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said Talbiy

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that my father would say, ‘For one who performs Tawaf around this House seven times and performs two Rak‘at salat (prayer), anywhere in the Masjid al- Haram (the Sacred Masjid), Allah writes for him six thousand good deeds.

“I saw abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), performing the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after obligatory Tawaf in front of Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, near the shadow of the Masjid.”

‘It is not proper for one to perform the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after an obligatory Tawaf anywhere other than near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam; however, the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) after optional Tawaf can be performed anywhere in the Masjid.’”

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a woman who experiences Hayd (menses) and wants to assume the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must take Ghusl (bath), a

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is for al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), enters Makkah and experiences Hayd (menses), what she must do? He (the Imam) said, ‘She performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah then remains at home. If she becomes clean, she performs Tawaf around the Ho

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘A woman experiencing Hayd (menses) who has performed Tawaf then wants to say farewell to the House, should stand near any of the doors of the Masjid and say farewell to the House.’”

“I performed al-Hajj and my father and sister were with me. When we arrived in Makkah she began to experience Hayd (menses). She strongly regretted for fear of losing her al-Hajj. My father told me to see abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and say to him, ‘My father sends you his greeting of peace, and says that my young daughter w

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’When a woman experiences menses at a time when she is about to commence the acts of her al-Hajj, she should take a shower and use al-kursuf, stand up with women behind her who should say ‘Amen’ for her prayers. She should say, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You through every name that is

“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

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who comes to Masjid al-Haram with the intention to commence al-Hajj, if he can perform Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, as long as he has not assumed the state of Ihram.’”

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), ’From which Masjid should I assume the state of Ihram on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You can do so from whichever Masjid you like.’”
