The Night at al-Muzdalifah, Staying in al-Mash‘ar, Departing It and Its Limits

قَالَ: لَا تُصَلِّ الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ جَمْعاً فَتُصَلِّيَ بِهَا الْمَغْرِبَ وَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ وَ انْزِلْ بِبَطْنِ الْوَادِي عَنْ يَمِينِ الطَّرِيقِ قَرِيباً مِنَ الْمَشْعَرِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَقِفَ عَلَى الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ‌[3] وَ يَطَأَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ وَ لَا يُجَاوِزِ الْحِيَاضَ لَيْلَةَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ جَمْعٌ اللَّهُمّ

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that you must not perform al-Maghrib Salat (prayer) until you arrive at al-Jam‘ so that you can perform both al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ al-’Akhirah with one Adhan and two ’Iqamah. You must disembark in valley on the right side of the road near al-Mash‘ar. One who performs al-Hajj for the

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّكَعَاتِ الَّتِي بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَقَالَ صَلِّهَا بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the Rak‘ats of Salat (prayer) after al-Maghrib during the night of al-Muzdalifah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform them after al-‘Isha’ as four Rak‘at.’”

يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّرُورَةِ أَنْ يَطَأَ الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is preferable for al-Sarura (one who performs al-Hajj for the first time) to walk on al-Mash‘ar al-Haram (name of a place) and enter the House. ’’’(Fatwa best explains Hadith 2-3 of this Chapter.)

أَصْبِحْ عَلَى طُهْرٍ بَعْدَ مَا تُصَلِّي الْفَجْرَ فَقِفْ إِنْ شِئْتَ قَرِيباً مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ فَإِذَا وَقَفْتَ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ اذْكُرْ مِنْ آلَائِهِ وَ بَلَائِهِ مَا قَدَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ فُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ الْحَلَالِ وَ ادْرَأْ ع

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and ibn abu ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that you must remain with a valid Wudu’ in the morning. After p

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع أَيُّ سَاعَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ أُفِيضَ مِنْ جَمْعٍ فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ بِقَلِيلٍ فَهِيَ أَحَبُّ السَّاعَاتِ إِلَيَّ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَكَثْنَا حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ‌[1].

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about the time in which he likes to leave al-Jam' (Mash’ar). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is a little before sunrise. That is the best hour to me.’ I asked, ‘Can we wait until sunrise?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”

لَا تُجَاوِزْ وَادِيَ مُحَسِّرٍ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not cross Wadiy Muhassar (valley) until it is sunrise.’” (Fatwa best explains Ahadith 5-6 of this Chapter)
