Prayer

قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً ثُمَّ يَبُولُ أَ يُتِمُّ سَعْيَهُ بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ وَ لَوْ أَتَمَّ نُسُكَهُ بِوُضُوءٍ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who performs three or four times Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He then urinates: if he can perform Sa‘y without wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful but if he can complete the acts with wudu’, it would be more beloved to me.”

قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع‌ لَا تَطُوفُ وَ لَا تَسْعَى إِلَّا عَلَى وُضُوءٍ[2].

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not perform Tawaf or Sa‘y [between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah] except with wudu’.”

إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ سَعْيِكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُتَمَتِّعٌ فَقَصِّرْ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ مِنْ جَوَانِبِهِ وَ لِحْيَتِكَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَ أَبْقِ مِنْهَا لِحَجِّكَ وَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ يُحِلُّ مِنْهُ الْمُحْرِمُ وَ أَحْرَمْتَ مِنْهُ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ تَطَوُّعاً مَا شِئْتَ.[1]

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you complete your Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah and you are for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), you must do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). Cut certain amount of your hairs from the sides and beard, take from your mustache, and cut something from

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I completed the acts of my al-‘Umrah and went to my wife before Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on). He (the Imam) said, ‘You owe a badanah.’ I then said, ’When I wanted it she had not done Taqsir (

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 experiences Hayd (menses); if she can assume the state of Ihram when she cannot perform Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she can do so when it is time for assuming the state of Ihram.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ فِي حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ حَاضَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْتُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع وَ قَدْ قَضَتْ طَوَافَهَا.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who performs Tawaf for al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah, then experiences Hayd (menses) before performing the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘When she becomes clean, she must perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ’Asma’ bint ‘Umays gave birth to Muhammad ibn abu Bakr. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, com

الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ تُصَلِّي وَ لَا تَدْخُلُ الْكَعْبَةَ[3].

“A woman who experiences Istihadah (a form of menses) can perform Tawaf around the House (Ka'ba) and she can pray, but she cannot enter the Ka'ba.”

إِذَا أَشْرَفَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى مَنَاسِكِهَا وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ وَ لْتَحْتَشِ بِالْكُرْسُفِ وَ لْتَقِفْ هِيَ وَ نِسْوَةٌ خَلْفَهَا فَيُؤَمِّنَّ عَلَى دُعَائِهَا وَ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ أَوْ تَسَمَّيْتَ بِهِ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ ع

“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

“My partner experienced menses in al-Madinah when it was the time for our transporters to come and leave, when she had not been able to go close to the Masjid, the grave or pulpit of the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. I mentioned it to abu ‘A

“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, a Muslim woman accompanied me until we reached the gardens of banu ‘Amir, where she began to experience menses.

“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

إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا صَنَعْتَ حِينَ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ مِنْ أَظْفَارِكَ وَ اطْلِ عَانَتَكَ إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ شَعْرٌ وَ انْتِفْ إِبْطَيْكَ وَ اغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ وَ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ وَ تَسْأَلُهُ الْعَوْنَ وَ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجّ

“When you, on the day al-Tarwiyah, decide to assume the state of Ihram, you should do what you had done when assuming the state of Ihram. You should trim your mustache, your finger nails, apply paste to remove your pubic hairs if there are any and pluck out the hairs of your under-arms. Take Ghusl (bath) and wear the t

“I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), that we want to leave for Makkah on foot. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not go on foot. Go riding/ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, we are told that al-Hassan ibn Ali (a.s.), would perform al-Hajj on foot.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Hassan, ibn Ali (a.s.), performed

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘An Imam must perform Salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr in Mina, stay the night there till the morning until sunrise; then leave for ‘Arafat . ‘“

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and ibn abu ‘Umayr Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When you arrive in Mina’ say this, ‘O Lord, this is Mina’ which You have granted to us so we perform our acts (

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘We walk on foot. What must we do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Those who have the means of transportation perform the morning Salat (prayer) in Mina’ but you can go on and perform your Salat (prayer) on the way.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When in the morning you are ready to move toward ‘Arafat, say this prayer, ‘O Lord, I have turned to You, depend on You and for Your sake I act.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The Ghusl (bath) on the day of ‘Arafah, is at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) and you must perform al-Zuhr and al-‘Asr Salat (prayer) together with one Adhan and two ‘Iqamah.’”

لَيْسَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ- عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ شَيْ‌ءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘There is no definite prayer and supplication for the evening of the day of ‘Arafah.’” (Hadith 6 of this Chapter is best explained by Fatwa)

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) in the days of Tashriq after Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) in Mina’ is after fifteen Salawat (prayers). In other cities it is after ten Salawat (prayers). The first Takbir is after Salat (

“I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who misses one Rak’at Salat (prayer) with the Imam of Salat (prayer) in the days of Tashriq. He (the Imam) said, ’He completes his Salat (prayer) and then says Takhir.’ I then asked about Takhir after every Salat (prayer).

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In the case of people of Makkah when they visit the House, then enter their lodgings; they perform their Salat (prayer) complete, but if they do not enter their lodging, they perform in the form of Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance).”’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If people of Makkah come out as Hajj (pilgrims) they perform their Salat (prayer) in Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance), but when they visit and return to their lodging they perform complete.’” NOTE: Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-2 of thi
