Cycling in the News: The hajj by bike

By Agence France Presse
This report filed January 29, 2007

He faced scorpions, snakes and hostile U.S. soldiers and his bicycle took a beating, but the 63-year-old Chechen now back home after cycling to and from Mecca says he is counting his blessings.

Dzhanar-Aliyev Magomed-Ali returned to this war-torn Chechnya town on January 18. His pilgrimage, or hajj, to the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, had little in common with the exploits of most Western adventurers. But his story reflects the dogged determination of many older people in this battle-scarred region of southern Russia, which has spent most of the last 12 years in armed conflict with Moscow and where day-to-day survival has often required near-superhuman effort.

In an interview in Urus-Martan, near Chechnya's main city of Grozny, Magomed-Ali showed off an article from a Jordanian newspaper about his epic cycle-ride, published as he passed through that country. It was one of 13 states he said he criss-crossed on his winding route before returning last week.

The impulse for the journey came when his mother visited him in a dream, recalled this slight man who sports the tall lambskin hat worn by respected elders in this mostly Muslim mountain region.

"She told me... 'You should do the hajj Magomed-Ali.' And when I asked her how I was supposed to do it she answered 'You've got a bicycle. Go on that and I'll help you along the way,'" said Magomed-Ali.

He took the precaution of training for the journey, taking short cycle-rides around Chechnya's war-ravaged landscape, and also equipped himself with 11 spare bicycle chains and six replacement inner tubes for his bicycle, which he bought for the equivalent of 70 dollars (55 euros).

In search of the most direct route, he headed south last November 8 out of Russia to neighboring Azerbaijan, where he camped outside the Saudi embassy hoping for a visa.

The disbelief he encountered from consulate officials was perhaps not surprising -- it was hardly cycle-friendly territory that lay before him.

"The consulate's employees took me to be abnormal and couldn't understand how I planned to get to their country by bicycle," he recalled.

After 18 days he gave up and headed south across the border into Iran and then, for perhaps the most perilous part of his journey, into strife-torn Iraq - a lengthy and perilously wrong turn.

Having reached Baghdad and witnessed what he calls the country's "terrible war," Magomed-Ali ran into a group of American soldiers. "Because I hadn't got a visa, they broke my bicycle, smashed it against the ground and called me a Russian pig. I told them I wasn't Russian but a Muslim and they seized my passport and pointed to the crosses on the cover," he recalled.

He was then forced to turn around and head back to Iran and around Iraq through Armenia and Georgia, down through Turkey, Syria, Jordan and finally -- after further border wrangles -- into Saudi Arabia and to his destination, Mecca.

There he was well-received and offered prayers for his family and homeland, before turning round and heading back home.

Beyond the Jordanian newspaper report the details of this extraordinary tale cannot all be confirmed. Magomed-Ali clearly revels in the more hair-raising aspects of his tale, including encounters with wolves in Azerbaijan and also with a fierce hyena while sleeping under the stars.

But while it is impossible to vouch for every detail there is no mistaking the determination of this innocuous-seeming figure, who recounted his adventure with all the traditional passion of story tellers in this part of the world.

He clearly has no love for Chechnya's Moscow-backed rulers and his bicycle - his "iron horse" as he calls it - is adorned with a symbol showing a wolf under the moon, the emblem of Chechen independence fighters.

He insists that along his route, even in Iraq, he was not afraid.

"I was only afraid, and am afraid, of God -- and that I might not reach my goal," he said. "I did the hajj in order to fulfill the will of my mother, who gave me life and taught me love for my homeland, which for me is priceless," he told AFP.

Tamattu' Hajj

Tamattu` means performing `Umrah during the Hajj season, and on the Day of Tarwiah a pilgrim gets into the state of Ihram for Hajj. Anyone intending to perform a Tamattu`` Hajj should on approaching the Miqat make intention for `Umrah. After fulfilling the Hajj rituals, one should offer a sacrificial animal.

Qiran Hajj

In this type of Hajj, a pilgrim should declare his intention to
perform both Hajj and `Umrah together. Only when he throws the Jamrah of Al-`Aqabah, gets his hair shaved or cut that he can put off his Ihram. However, he should offer a sacrificial animal.

Ifrad Hajj

In the Miqat, a pilgrim of Ifrad Hajj declares his intention for Hajj only. He maintains his Ihram up to the Day of Sacrifice. No offering is required
from him.

Umrah

Rituals of Umrah : 1

In Arabic the word `Umrah is derived from I`timar which means a visit. However, `Umrah technically means paying a visit to Ka`bah, performing Tawaf [Circumambulation] around it, walking between Safa and Marwah seven times. A performer of `Umrah puts off his Ihram by having his hair shaved or cut

You too my dear Crowny

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah: There is no Hijrah now, but (only) Jihad (fighting for the cause of Islam) and sincerity of purpose (have great reward); when you are asked to set out (on an expedition undertaken for the cause of Islam) you should (readily) do so.

'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was asked about migration, whereupon he said: There is no migration after the Conquest (of Makkah), but Jihad and sincere intention. When you are asked to set out (for the cause of Islam) you should set out.

'Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: (The value of) an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be rewarded only for what he intended. The emigration of one who emigrates for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (may peace be upon him) is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (may peace be upon him); and the emigration of one who emigrates for gaining a worldly advantage or for marrying a woman is for what he has emigrated.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Muslims trace the recorded origins of the divinely prescribed pilgrimage to the Prophet Abraham, or Ibrahim, as he is called in Arabic. According to the Qur'an, it was Abraham who, together with Ishmael (Isma'il), built the Ka'bah, "the House of God," the focal point toward which Muslims turn in their worship five times each day. It was Abraham, too - known as Khalil Allah, "the friend of God" - who established the rituals of the hajj, which recall events or practices in his life and that of Hagar (Hajar) and their son Ishmael.
In the chapter entitled "The Pilgrimage," the Qur'an speaks of the divine command to perform the hajj and prophesies the permanence of this institution:
And when We assigned for Abraham the place of the House, saying "Do not associate Anything with Me, and purify My House for those who go around it and for those who stand and bow and prostrate themselves in worship. And proclaim the Pilgrimage among humankind: They will come to you on foot and on every camel made lean By traveling deep, distant ravines.
By the time the Prophet Muhammad received the divine call, however, pagan practices had come to muddy some of the original observances of the hajj. The Prophet, as ordained by God, continued the Abrahamic hajj after restoring its rituals to their original purity.
Furthermore, Muhammad himself instructed the believers in the rituals of the hajj. He did this in two ways: by his own practice, or by approving the practices of his Companions. This added some complexity to the rituals, but also provided increased flexibility in carrying them out, much to the benefit of pilgrims ever since. It is lawful, for instance, to have some variation in the order in which the several rites are carried out, because the Prophet himself is recorded as having approved such actions. Thus, the rites of the hajj are elaborate, numerous and varied; aspects of some of them are highlighted below.
The hajj to Makkah is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation upon male and female adults whose health and means permit it, or, in the words of the Qur'an, upon "those who can make their way there." It is not an obligation on children, though some children do accompany their parents on this journey.
Before setting out, a pilgrim should redress all wrongs, pay all debts, plan to have enough funds for his own journey and for the maintenance of his family while he is away, and prepare himself for good conduct throughout the hajj.
When pilgrims undertake the hajj journey, they follow in the footsteps of millions before them. Nowadays hundreds of thousands of believers from over 70 nations arrive in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by road, sea and air every year, completing a journey now much shorter and in some ways less arduous than it often was in the past.
Till the 19th century, traveling the long distance to Makkah usually meant being part of a caravan. There were three main caravans: the Egyptian one, which formed in Cairo; the Iraqi one, which set out from Baghdad; and the Syrian, which, after 1453, started at Istanbul, gathered pilgrims along the way, and proceeded to Makkah from Damascus.
As the hajj journey took months if all went well, pilgrims carried with them the provisions they needed to sustain them on their trip. The caravans were elaborately supplied with amenities and security if the persons traveling were rich, but the poor often ran out of provisions and had to interrupt their journey in order to work, save up their earnings, and then go on their way. This resulted in long journeys which, in some cases, spanned ten years or more. Travel in earlier days was filled with adventure. The roads were often unsafe due to bandit raids. The terrain the pilgrims passed through was also dangerous, and natural hazards and diseases often claimed many lives along the way. Thus, the successful return of pilgrims to their families was the occasion of joyous celebration and thanksgiving for their safe arrival.
Lured by the mystique of Makkah and Madinah, many Westerners have visited these two holy cities, on which the pilgrims converge, since the 15th century. Some of them disguised themselves as Muslims; others, who had genuinely converted, came to fulfill their duty. But all seem to have been moved by their experience, and many recorded their impressions of the journey and the rituals of the hajj in fascinating accounts. Many hajj travelogues exist, written in languages as diverse as the pilgrims themselves.
The pilgrimage takes place each year between the eighth and the 13th days of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Muslim lunar calendar. Its first rite is the donning of the ihram.
Photo: The Ka'bah, focal point of Muslims' prayers, highlights the unity of the believers. Symbol of the oneness and centrality of God, the Ka'bah stands in the courtyard of Mecca's Sacred Mosque where at the season of the hajj the faithful gather for rituals that precede and end their pilgrimage.

The ihram, worn by men, is a white seamless garment made up of two pieces of cloth or toweling; one covers the body from waist to ankle and the other is thrown over the shoulder. This garb was worn by both Abraham and Muhammad. Women generally wear a simple white dress and a headcovering, but not a veil. Men's heads must be uncovered; both men and women may use an umbrella.
The ihram is a symbol of purity and of the renunciation of evil and mundane matters. It also indicates the equality of all people in the eyes of God. When the pilgrim wears his white apparel, he or she enters into a state of purity that prohibits quarreling, committing violence to man or animal and having conjugal relations. Once he puts on his hajj clothes the pilgrim cannot shave, cut his nails or wear any jewelry, and he will keep his unsown garment on till he completes the pilgrimage.
A pilgrim who is already in Makkah starts his hajj from the moment he puts on the ihram. Some pilgrims coming from a distance may have entered Makkah earlier with their ihram on and may still be wearing it. The donning of the ihram is accompanied by the primary invocation of the hajj, the talbiyah:
Here I am, O God, at Thy Command! Here I am at Thy Command! Thou art without associate; Here I am at Thy Command! Thine are praise and grace and dominion! Thou art without associate.
The thunderous, melodious chants of the talbiyah ring out not only in Makkah but also at other nearby sacred locations connected with the hajj.
On the first day of the hajj, pilgrims sweep out of Makkah toward Mina, a small uninhabited village east of the city. As their throngs spread through Mina, the pilgrims generally spend their time meditating and praying, as the Prophet did on his pilgrimage.
During the second day, the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, pilgrims leave Mina for the plain of 'Arafat for the wuquf, "the standing," the central rite of the hajj. As they congregate there, the pilgrims' stance and gathering reminds them of the Day of Judgment. Some of them gather at the Mount of Mercy, where the Prophet delivered his unforgettable Farewell Sermon, enunciating far-reaching religious, economic, social and political reforms. These are emotionally charged hours, which the pilgrims spend in worship and supplication. Many shed tears as they ask God to forgive them. On this sacred spot, they reach the culmination of their religious lives as they feel the presence and closeness of a merciful God.
The first Englishwoman to perform the hajj, Lady Evelyn Cobbold, described in 1934 the feelings pilgrims experience during the wuquf at 'Arafat. "It would require a master pen to describe the scene, poignant in its intensity, of that great concourse of humanity of which I was one small unit, completely lost to their surroundings in a fervor of religious enthusiasm. Many of the pilgrims had tears streaming down their cheeks; others raised their faces to the starlit sky that had witnessed this drama so often in the past centuries. The shining eyes, the passionate appeals, the pitiful hands outstretched in prayer moved me in a way that nothing had ever done before, and I felt caught up in a strong wave of spiritual exaltation. I was one with the rest of the pilgrims in a sublime act of complete surrender to the Supreme Will which is Islam."
She goes on to describe the closeness pilgrims feel to the Prophet while standing in 'Arafat: "...as I stand beside the granite pillar, I feel I am on Sacred ground. I see with my mind's eye the Prophet delivering that last address, over thirteen hundred years ago, to the weeping multitudes. I visualize the many preachers who have spoken to countless millions who have assembled on the vast plain below; for this is the culminating scene of the Great Pilgrimage."
The Prophet is reported to have asked God to pardon the sins of pilgrims who "stood" at 'Arafat, and was granted his wish. Thus, the hopeful pilgrims prepare to leave this plain joyfully, feeling reborn without sin and intending to turn over a new leaf.
Just after sunset, the mass of pilgrims proceeds to Muzdalifah, an open plain about halfway between 'Arafat and Mina. There they first pray and then collect a fixed number of chickpea-sized pebbles to use on the following days.
Before daybreak on the third day, pilgrims move en masse from Muzdalifah to Mina. There they cast at white pillars the pebbles they have previously collected. According to some traditions, this practice is associated with the Prophet Abraham. As pilgrims throw seven pebbles at each of these pillars, they remember the story of Satan's attempt to persuade Abraham to disregard God's command to sacrifice his son.
Throwing the pebbles is symbolic of humans' attempt to cast away evil and vice, not once but seven times - the number seven symbolizing infinity.
Following the casting of the pebbles, most pilgrims sacrifice a goat, sheep or some other animal. They give the meat to the poor after, in some cases, keeping a small portion for themselves.
This rite is associated with Abraham's readiness to sacrifice his son in accordance with God's wish. It symbolizes the Muslim's willingness to part with what is precious to him, and reminds us of the spirit of Islam, in which submission to God's will plays a leading role. This act also reminds the pilgrim to share worldly goods with those who are less fortunate, and serves as an offer of thanksgiving to God.
As the pilgrims have, at this stage, finished a major part of the hajj, they are now allowed to shed their ihram and put on everyday clothes. On this day Muslims around the world share the happiness the pilgrims feel and join them by performing identical, individual sacrifices in a worldwide celebration of 'Id al-Adha, "the Festival of Sacrifice." Men either shave their heads or clip their hair, and women cut off a symbolic lock, to mark their partial deconsecration. This is done as a symbol of humility. All proscriptions, save the one of conjugal relations, are now lifted.
Still so journing in Mina, pilgrims visit Makkah to perform another essential rite of the hajj: the tawaf, the seven-fold circling of the Ka'bah, with a prayer recited during each circuit. Their circumambulation of the Ka'bah, the symbol of God's oneness, implies that all human activity must have God at its center. It also symbolizes the unity of God and man.
Thomas Abercrombie, a convert to Islam and a writer and photographer for National Geographic Magazine, performed the hajj in the 1970's and described the sense of unity and harmony pilgrims feel during the circling: "Seven times we circled the shrine," he wrote, "repeating the ritual devotions in Arabic: 'Lord God, from such a distant land I have come unto Thee.... Grant me shelter under Thy throne.' Caught up in the whirling scene, lifted by the poetry of the prayers, we orbited God's house in accord with the atoms, in harmony with the planets."
While making their circuits pilgrims may kiss or touch the Black Stone. This oval stone, first mounted in a silver frame late in the seventh century, has a special place in the hearts of Muslims as, according to some traditions, it is the sole remnant of the original structure built by Abraham and Ishmael. But perhaps the single most important reason for kissing the stone is that the Prophet did so.
No devotional significance whatsoever is attached to the stone, for it is not, nor has ever been, an object of worship. The second caliph, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, made this crystal clear when, on kissing the stone himself in emulation of the Prophet, he proclaimed: "I know that you are but a stone, incapable of doing good or harm. Had I not seen the Messenger of God kiss you - may God's blessing and peace be upon him - I would not kiss you."
After completing the tawaf, pilgrims pray, preferably at the Station of Abraham, the site where Abraham stood while he built the Ka'bah. Then they drink of the water of Zamzam.
Another, and sometimes final, rite is the sa'y, or "the running." This is a reenactment of a memorable episode in the life of Hagar, who was taken into what the Qur'an calls the "uncultivable valley" of Makkah, with her infant son Ishmael, to settle there.
The sa'y commemorates Hagar's frantic search for water to quench Ishmael's thirst. She ran back and forth seven times between two rocky hillocks, al-Safa and al-Marwah, until she found the sacred water known as Zamzam. This water, which sprang forth miraculously under Ishmael's tiny feet, is now enclosed in a marble chamber the Ka'bah.
These rites performed, the pilgrims are completely deconsecrated: They may resume all normal activities. According to the social customs of some countries, pilgrims can henceforth proudly claim the title of al-Hajj or Hajji.
They now return to Mina, where they stay up to the 12th or 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. There they throw their remaining pebbles at each of the pillars in the manner either practiced or approved by the Prophet. They then take leave of the friends they have made during the Hajj. Before leaving Makkah, however, pilgrims usually make a final tawaf round the Ka'bah to bid farewell to the Holy City.
Usually pilgrims either precede or follow the hajj, "the greater pilgrimage," with the 'umrah, "the lesser pilgrimage," which is sanctioned by the Qur'an and was performed by the Prophet. The 'umrah, unlike the hajj, takes place only in Makkah itself and can be performed at any time of the year. The ihram, talbiyah and the restrictions required by the state of consecration are equally essential in the 'umrah, which also shares three other rituals with the hajj: the tawaf, sa'y and shaving or clipping the hair. The observance of the 'umrah by pilgrims and visitors symbolizes veneration for the unique sanctity of Makkah.
Before or after going to Makkah, pilgrims also avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the hajj or the 'umrah to visit the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, the second holiest city in Islam. Here, the Prophet lies buried in a simple grave under the green dome of the mosque. The visit to Madinah is not obligatory, as it is not part of the hajj or 'umrah, but the city - which welcomed Muhammad when he migrated there from Makkah - is rich in moving memories and historical sites that are evocative of him as a prophet and statesman.
In this city, loved by Muslims for centuries, people still feel the presence of the Prophet's spirit. Muhammad Asad, an Austrian Jew who converted to Islam in 1926 and made five pilgrimages between 1927 and 1932, comments on this aspect of the city: "Even after thirteen centuries [the Prophet's] spiritual presence is almost as alive here as it was then. It was only because of him that the scattered group of villages once called Yathrib became a city and has been loved by all Muslims down to this day as no city anywhere else in the world has ever been loved. It has not even a name of its own: for more than thirteen hundred years it has been called Madinat an-Nabi, 'the City of the Prophet.' For more than thirteen hundred years, so much love has converged here that all shapes and movements have acquired a kind of family resemblance, and all differences of appearance find a tonal transition into a common harmony."

Photo: More than two million pilgrims gather each year to perform Hajj.
As pilgrims of diverse races and tongues return to their homes, they carry with them cherished memories of Abraham, Ishmael, Hagar, and Muhammad. They will always remember that universal concourse, where poor and rich, black and white, young and old, met on equal footing.
They return with a sense of awe and serenity: awe for their experience at 'Arafat, when they felt closest to God as they stood on the site where the Prophet delivered his sermon during his first and last pilgrimage; serenity for having shed their sins on that plain, and being thus relieved of such a heavy burden. They also return with a better understanding of the conditions of their brothers in Islam. Thus is born a spirit of caring for others and an understanding of their own rich heritage that will last throughout their lives.
The pilgrims go back radiant with hope and joy, for they have fulfilled God's ancient injunction to humankind to undertake the pilgrimage. Above all, they return with a prayer on their lips: May it please God, they pray, to find their hajj acceptable, and may what the Prophet said be true of their own individual journey: "There is no reward for a pious pilgrimage but Paradise."

Time of standing at Arafah : 1

A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported: 1
the Quraish (of the Pre-Islamic Days) and those who followed their religious practices stayed at Al-Muzdalifah, and they named themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed at 'Arafah. With the advent of Islam, Allah the Exalted and Glorious, commanded His Messenger (may peace be upon him) to come to 'Arafah and stay there, and then hurry from there (to Al-Muzdalifah), and this is the significance of the words of Allah: then depart from the place whence all the people depart 1

Jubair bin Mut'im, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
I lost my camel and went in search of it on the day of 'Arafah, and I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) standing in 'Arafat with the people. Thereupon I exclaimed: By Allah, he is among the Hums (the Quraish); what has happened to him that he has come to this (place)? The Quraish were counted among Hums.1

Fasting on the day of Arafah : 1

Umm Al-Fadl, may Allah be pleased with her, reported:
Some people among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) were in doubt about Fasting on the day of 'Arafah and we were with him on that day. I (Umm Al-Fadl) sent him a cup of milk while he was at 'Arafah, and he drank it. 1

Usamah bin Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Al-Muzdalifah, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he performed a light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for the Prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Prayer awaits you (at the next station, Al-Muzdalifah). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) rode on until he came to Al-Muzdalifah and observed the Prayer. Then Al-Fadl (Allah be pleased with him) rode behind Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and reached (Al-Muzdalifah) in the morning

Leaving Arafah :1

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came back from 'Arafah and Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) was seated behind him. Usamah said that he (the Holy Prophet) continued the journey in this very state until he came to Al-Muzdalifah.

Muzdalifa

'Abdullah bin 'Umar's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with them.
'Abdullah bin 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, used to send ahead of him the weak members of his household to stay during the night at Mash'ar Al-Haram at Al-Muzdalifah. They remembered Allah so long as they could afford, and then they proceeded before the stay of the Imam, and before his return. So some of them reached Mina for the Dawn Prayer and some of them reached there after that; and as they reached there, they stoned Al-Jamrah; and Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, used to say: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has granted this concession to them

Abu Aiyub, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
I prayed the Sunset and Night Prayers (together) at Al-Muzdalifah in the company of Allah's Messenger (my peace be upon him) on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
I have never seen Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) but observing the Prayers at their appointed times except two Prayers, Sunset and Al-'Isha' at Al-Muzdalifah where he deferred the Sunset Prayer to combine it with Al-'Isha' and he observed the Dawn Prayer before its stipulated time on that day (10th of Dhul-Hijjah).

'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported:
Saudah sought the permission of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the night of Al-Muzdalifah to move from (that place) ahead of him and before the multitude (set forth), as she was a heavy woman. He (Allah's Messenger) gave her the permission. So she set forth before his (Holy Prophet's) departure. But we stayed there until it was dawn and we moved on, when he departed. And if I were to seek the permission of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as Saudah had sought permission, I could have also gone with his permission and it would have been better for me than anything else of pleasure.

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent me from Al-Muzdalifah ahead (of the caravan) along with the luggage or with the weak ones during (the latter part of the) night.

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:

'Abdullah bin 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed the Prayer of a traveler, i.e. two rak'ahs, in Mina, and other places

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with him.
'Abdul-Rahman bin Yazid reported: 'Uthman led us four rak'ahs of the Prayer at Mina. It was reported to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud and he maintained: Surely we are Allah's and to Him will we return, and then said: I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) at Mina two rak'ahs of the Prayer. I prayed along with Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq two rak'ahs of the Prayer at Mina. I prayed along with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab two rak'ahs of the Prayer at Mina. I wish I had my share of the two rak'ahs acceptable (to Allah) instead of four.

Harithah bin Wahb, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) two rak'ahs and most of them offered two rak'ahs only in Mina, while the people felt secure

Anas bin Malik's Hadith, (may Allah be pleased with him).
'Abdul-'Aziz bin Rufai' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked Anas bin Malik to tell me about something he knew about Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), where he observed the Noon Prayer on the Day of Al-Tarwiah. He said: At Mina. I asked: Where did he observe the Afternoon Prayer on the Day of Al-Nafr? and he said: It was at Al-Abtah. He said then do as your rulers do.

staying at Muhasib

Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
We, in the state of Ihram, came with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) for Ifrad Hajj (with the aim of Hajj only), and 'A'ishah set out for 'Umrah, and when we reached Sarif, she ('A'ishah) entered in the state of monthly period; we proceeded on till we reached (Makkah) and circumambulated the Ka'bah and ran between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah; and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded that one who among us had no sacrificial animal with him should put off Ihram. We asked: What does this "putting off" imply? He said: Getting out completely from the state of Ihram, (so we put off Ihram), and we turned to our wives and applied perfume and put on our clothes, and we were at a four night's distance from 'Arafah. And we again put on Ihram on the day of Tarwiah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, and found her weeping, and asked: What is the matter with you? She said: The matter is that I have entered in the monthly period, and the people had put off Ihram, but I did not and I did not circumambulate the House, and the people are going for Hajj now (but I cannot go), whereupon he said: It is the matter which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam, so now take a bath and put on Ihram for Hajj. She ('A'ishah) did accordingly, and stayed at the places of staying till the monthly period was over. She then circumambulated Ka'bah (the House), and (ran between) Al-Safa and Al-Marwah. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: Now both your Hajj and 'Umrah are complete, whereupon she said: I feel in my mind that I did not circumambulate the House till I performed Hajj (I missed the circumambulation of 'Umrah). Thereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: 'Abdul-Rahman, take her to Al-Tan'im (so as to enable her) to perform 'Umrah (separately), and it was the night at Hasbah.

Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), Abu Bakr and 'Umar observed a stop at Al-Abtah.

'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported:
Halting at Al-Abtah is not from the Sunnah (Prophetic Ordinances). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) halted there simply because it was easier for him to depart from there when he left.

Jamarat

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with him.
'Abdul-Rahman bin Yazid reported: 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) threw seven pebbles at Jamrat Al-'Aqabah from the heart of the valley. He pronounced Takbir with every pebble. It was said to him: O Abu 'Abdul-Rahman, that people fling stones from the upper side (of the valley), whereupon 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: By Him, besides Whom there is no other god, that is the place (of flinging stones) of one upon whom surah Al-Baqarah was revealed (the Holy Prophet).

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina for people who had something to ask. A man came and said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant, I shaved before sacrificing. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Now sacrifice (the animal) and there is no harm (for you). Then another man came and said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Now) throw the pebbles, and there is no harm (for you). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after (its proper time) but he said: Do it, and no harm is there (for you).

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
It was said to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about sacrificing of animals, shaving of one's head, throwing of pebbles, and (the order of) precedence and succession, and he said: There is no harm in it.

Al-Ihsar

Meaning of Ihsar : Perform Hajj but with condition, and say: O Allah, I will be free from Ihram where you detain me

'Abdullah bin 'Umar's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with them.
Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, set out for 'Umrah during the turmoil, and he said: If I am detained (from going to) the House, we would do the same as we did with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). So he went out and put on Ihram for 'Umrah and moved on until he reached Al-Baida'. He turned towards his Companions and said: There is one command for both of them, and I call you as my witness (and say) that verily I have made Hajj with 'Umrah compulsory for me. He proceeded until, when he came to the House, he circumambulated it seven times and ran between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah seven times, and made no addition to it and thought it to be sufficient for him and offered sacrifice.
