“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.’”

‘When you leave for Mina’. Then he (the Imam) said, ‘When you reach the point where you find Shi‘b Dubb on your right and al-‘Aqabah on your left, then commence saying Talbiyah for al-Hajj.’” (Fatwa best explains this hadith and the following chapters).
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَخْرُجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مُشَاةً فَقَالَ لَنَا لَا تَمْشُوا وَ اخْرُجُوا رُكْبَاناً- قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ص أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُجُّ مَاشِياً فَقَالَ كَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع يَحُجُّ مَاشِياً وَ تُسَاقُ مَعَهُ الْمَحَامِلُ وَ الرِّحَالُ.
“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

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about performing al-Hajj on foot, a Hadith that had been narrated from him (the Imam) and his view about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘People perform al-Hajj both on foot and riding.’ I then said that that is not my question.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What was your question?’ I asked, ‘Whic

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about traveling for al-Hajj if on foot is more virtuous or riding. He (the Imam) said, ‘If one is affluent and he travels on foot to reduce his expenses then riding is more virtuous.’”
بَلْ رَاكِباً فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَجَّ رَاكِباً.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about traveling for al-Hajj if on foot was more virtuous or riding. He (the Imam) said, ‘Riding is more virtuous because the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, traveled for al-Hajj riding.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of al-Hassan (a.s.), and his walking on foot; if it was from Makkah or al-Madinah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It was from Makkah.’ I then asked, ‘If I visit the House, should I walk on foot or riding?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Hassan (a.s.), would visit riding.’ I then asked

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man traveling on foot; where it stops? He (the Imam) said, ‘When one throws the pebbles on Jamarah al-‘Aqabah and shaves his head his walking stops, and he must visit riding.”’

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) and has said Talbiyah for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not perform Tawaf until he attends ‘Arafah; if he performs Tawaf before attending Mina’ without illness, that Tawaf is not counted.’”

رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُنْدَبٍ بِالْمَوْقِفِ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْقِفاً كَانَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِهِ مَا زَالَ مَادّاً يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ دُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْأَرْضَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْقِفاً قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِكَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَّا لِإِخْوَانِي وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ
“Once I saw ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab in ‘Arafat but I had not seen any stay (spending the ninth day of Dhu al-Hajj) in ‘Arafat better than that. He continued stretching his hands to the sky and his tears flowed on his both cheeks all the way to the ground. When people left I said to him, ‘O abu Muhammad, I have never seen
كَانَ عِيسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ إِذَا حَجَّ فَصَارَ إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ لِإِخْوَانِهِ حَتَّى يُفِيضَ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ تُنْفِقُ مَالَكَ وَ تُتْعِبُ بَدَنَكَ حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتَ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تُبَثُّ فِيهِ الْحَوَائِجُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَقْبَلْتَ عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ لِإِخْوَانِكَ وَ تَرَكْتَ نَفْسَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي عَلَى ثِقَةٍ مِنْ دَعْوَةِ الْمَلَكِ لِي وَ فِي شَكٍّ م
‘Isa ibn ’A‘yan in al-Hajj during his stay in ‘Arafat prayed for his brothers (in belief) until people left ‘Arafat for al-Muzdalifah. I (the narrator) asked him, ‘You spend your money, make yourself tired and when you reach the place where wishes are presented before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, you th
كُنْتُ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَلَمَّا أَفَضْتُ لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ شُعَيْبٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ مُصَاباً بِإِحْدَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَ إِذَا عَيْنُهُ الصَّحِيحَةُ حَمْرَاءُ كَأَنَّهَا عَلَقَةُ دَمٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ أُصِبْتَ بِإِحْدَى عَيْنَيْكَ وَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ مُشْفِقٌ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَلَوْ قَصَرْتَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ قَلِيلًا فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا دَعَوْتُ لِنَفْسِيَ الْيَوْمَ بِدَعْوَة
“I was in al-Mawqaf (‘Arafat). When I left for al-Muzdalifah I met Ibrahim ibn Shu‘ayb. I offered him greeting of peace. He had trouble in one of his eyes and I found his trouble-free eye had turned red like a piece of blood clot. I said to him, ‘One of your eyes is damaged and I am afraid for your other eye. I wish yo
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ بِالْمَوْقِفِ وَ هُوَ يُنَادِي بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ الْإِمَامَ ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثُمَّ الْحَسَنُ ثُمَّ الْحُسَيْنُ ثُمَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ثُمَّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع ثُمَّ هَهْ[1] فَيُنَادِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لِمَنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ اثْنَيْ ع
“I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), on the day of ‘Arafah in al-Mawqaf (the station) saying at the top of his voice, ‘O people, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was an Imam. Then Ali ibn abu Talib was an Imam. Then al-Hassan was an Imam. Th
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَرَفَةُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُونَ قَالَ يَرْتَفِعُونَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ[2].
‘They can go higher toward the hills.’” NOTE: (Fatwa best explains Hadith 11 of this Chapter)
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَتَى الْإِفَاضَةُ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ قَالَ إِذَا ذَهَبَ الْحُمْرَةُ[3] يَعْنِي مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الشَّرْقِيِّ.
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the time of leaving ‘Arafat. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is when the redness goes away, that is, from the eastern side.”’ (Fatwa best explains Hadith 1 of this Chapter)
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانُوا يُفِيضُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ فَخَالَفَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَفَاضَ بَعْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَفِضْ مَعَ النَّاسِ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ وَ أَفِضْ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفاضَ النَّاسُ وَ اسْتَغْفِ
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the pagans would depart ‘Arafat before sunset. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensatio
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ كَلَامِهِ حِينَ أَفَاضَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ أَوْ أَقْطَعَ رَحِماً أَوْ أُوذِيَ جَاراً.
‘O Allah, I seek protection with You against my disappointing, mistreating or doing injustice to or being treated unjustly by a relative or a neighbor.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَفَاضَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنَةٌ يَنْحَرُهَا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ صَامَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً بِمَكَّةَ أَوْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ أَوْ فِي أَهْلِهِ.
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who leaves ‘Arafat before sunset. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes one badanah to slaughter on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering), if unable to do this he must fast for eighteen days in Makkah or on the way or at home.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 4 of this Chapter)
يُوَكِّلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَكَيْنِ بِمَأْزِمَيْ عَرَفَةَ[1] فَيَقُولَانِ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, appoints two angels who in the narrow area between ‘Arafat and al-Muzdalifah say, ‘Keep safe, keep safe.”’
مَلَكَانِ يُفَرِّجَانِ لِلنَّاسِ لَيْلَةَ مُزْدَلِفَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَأْزِمَيْنِ الضَّيِّقَيْنِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Two angels make room for people who become congested in al-Mazemin.’”
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

“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.)
