Al-Kafi 6847

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said that Rasool-Allah^saww stayed in Al-Medina for ten years not performing Hajj. Then Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed upon him <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:22#h27"><a href="/books/quran:22#h27">[22:27]</a></a> And proclaim among the people for the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path</span>. So he^saww ordered the proclaimers that they should be proclaiming in their loud voices that Rasool-Allah^saww would be performing (Hajj) during this year of his^saww. So the one who were present in Al-Medina came to know of it, and the people of Al-Awaly, and the Bedouins, and they gathered for the Hajj of Rasool-Allah^saww during the four days remaining from Zil-Qadah. And rather, they were following awaiting what he^saww would ordered them with so they would follow it, or he^saww would do something, so they would be doing it. So Rasool-Allah^saww went out with four days remaining from Zil-Qadah. So when he^saww ended up to Zul Huleyfa, the sun declined, so he^saww washed, then went out until he^saww came over to the Masjid which was by the tree. So he^saww Prayed Al-Zohr therein, and determined with the individual Hajj, and went out until he^saww ended up to Al-Bayda at the first mile. So they stood in two rows for him^saww. So he^saww exclaimed Talbiyya with the individual Hajj and ushered the sacrificial animals, sixty-six or forty-six, until he^saww ended up to Makkah during the end part of the fourth of Zil-Hijja. So he^saww circumambulated with the House (Kabah) seven circuits, then Prayed two Cycles behind the Standing Place of Ibrahim^as. Then he^saww turned back to the (Black) Stone, so he^saww kissed it, and he^saww had kissed it during his^saww first circumambulation. Then he^saww said: ‘Al-Safa and Al-Marwa are from the Rituals of Allah^azwj, therefore begin with what Allah^azwj the Exalted Began with. And the Muslims were thinking that the Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa was something which the Polytheists used to do. So Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h158"><a href="/books/quran:2#h158">[2:158]</a></a> Surely, the Safa and the Marwa are among the Rituals appointed by Allah; so whoever makes a Pilgrimage to the House or pays a visit (to it), there is no blame on him if he goes round them both</span>. Then he^saww came to Al-Safa, so he^saww climbed upon it and faced the Yemeni corner (of the Kabah), and he^saww Praised Allah^azwj and Extolled upon Him^azwj, and supplicated for a measurement of what it takes to recite Surah Al-Baqarah slowly. Then he^saww went down to Al-Marwa, so he^saww paused upon it just as he^saww had paused upon Al-Safa. Then he^saww came down and returned to Al-Safa. So he^saww paused upon it, then went down to Al-Marwa, until he^saww was free from (doing it) seven (times). So when he^saww was free from his^saww seventh, and he^saww was upon Al-Marwa, faced towards the people with his^saww face, and he^saww Praised Allah^azwj and Extolled upon Him^azwj, then said: ‘This is Jibraeel^as’, and he^saww gestured by his^saww hand to behind him^saww, ‘Instructing me^saww that I^saww should order the one who did not usher a sacrificial animal, that he should free (himself from the wearing of Ihram), and had I^saww faced from my^saww matters what I^saww managed, I^saww would have done the like of what I^saww am ordering you all for, but I^saww ushered the sacrificial animal, and it is not befitting for an usherer of the sacrificial animal that he frees (from wearing the Ihram) until the sacrificial animal reaches its place. He^asws said: ‘So a man from the group said, ‘We were brought out as Pilgrims and our heads and our hairs are dripping’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him: ‘But, you will never believe in this, ever!’ So Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Ju’sham Al-Kinany said to him^saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Teach us our Religioin as if we have been Created today. So this, which you^saww are ordering us with, it is for this year of our or (we) do this in the future (as well)?’ So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him: ‘But, it is forever, up to the Day of Judgement’. Then he^saww clasped (held) his^saww fingers and said: ‘The Umra is included in the Hajj up to the Day of Judgement’. He^asws said: ‘And Ali^asws came back from Al-Yemen to Rasool-Allah^saww, and he^saww was in Makkah. So he^asws went over to Syeda Fatima^asws and she^asws had freed (from wearing Ihram), so he^asws found an aromatic fragrance, and found dyed clothes upon her. So he^asws said: ‘What is this, O Fatima^asws?’ So she^asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww ordered us with this’. So Ali^asws went out to Rasool-Allah^saww to follow up, and he^asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I^asws saw Fatima^asws to have freed (from wearing Ihram), and upon her^asws were dyed clothes’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I^saww ordered the people with that. But you^asws, O Ali^asws, with what have you^asws welcomed (commenced) (the Hajj)?’ He^asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! My^asws welcoming is like the welcoming of the Prophet^saww’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him^asws: ‘Remain upon your^asws Ihram like me^saww, and you^asws are a participant in my^saww sacrificial offerings’. He^asws said: ‘And Rasool-Allah^saww encamped in Makkah at Al-Bat’ha, him^saww and his^saww companions, and he^saww did not lodge in the houses. So when it was the day of Al-Tarwiyya (8^th of Zil-Hijja), at the decline of the sun, he^saww ordered the people that they should wash and commence with the Hajj, and these are the Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic which were Revealed unto His^azwj Prophet^saww <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:3#h95"><a href="/books/quran:3#h95">[3:95]</a></a> therefore follow the Religion of Ibrahim</span>. So the Prophet^saww and his^saww companions went out inclined with the Hajj until he^saww came to Mina. So he^saww Prayed Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr, and Al-Magrib, and Al-Isha the last, and Al-Fajr. Then he^saww went in the morning, and the people were with him^saww. And the Qureysh used to hasten from Al-Muzdalifa, and it is Jam’a, and they were preventing people that they should be hastening from it. So Rasool-Allah^saww came back, and Qureysh were hoping that his^saww hastening would be from where they were hastening from. But, Allah^azwj the Exalted Revealed unto him^saww <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h199"><a href="/books/quran:2#h199">[2:199]</a></a> Then hasten on from where the people hasten on and seek the Forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful</span>, Meaning Ibrahim^as, and Ismail^as, and Is’haq^as during their^as hastening from it, and the ones who were after them^as. So when the Qureysh saw that the tent of Rasool-Allah^saww had passed, it was as if something had entered into their selves which they were hoping for from the hastening from their places, until they ended up to Namira, and it is middle of Urana around Al-Arak. So he^saww struck his^saww tent, and the people pitched their tents by it. So when the sun declined, Rasool-Allah^saww went out and with him^saww were the Qureysh, and he^saww had washed and cut-off the Talbiyya until he^saww paused by the Masjid. So he preached the people and ordered them and forbid them. Then he^saww Prayed Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr with one Azan and two Iqamas. Then he^saww went to the Pausing Station, so he^saww paused in it. So the people went on to crowd with their sandals by his^saww camel, pausing by his^saww side. So he^saww forbid it, but they did similar to that. So he^saww said: ‘O you people! The place of the sandals is not by my^saww camel with the Pausing, but all this’, and he^saww gestured by his^saww hand to the Pausing Station’. So the people dispersed. And he^saww did similar to that in Al Muzdalifa. So the people paused until the disc fell, the disc of the sun. Then he^saww departed and ordered the people with the gentleness until he^saww ended up to Al Muzdalifa, and it is the Sacred Ritual. So he^saww Prayed Al-Magrib, and Al-Isha the last, with one Azan and two Iqamas. Then he^saww stayed until he^saww Prayed Al-Fajr therein, and urged the weak ones of the Clan of Hashim to leave at night and ordered them that they should not pelt the rock, the rock of Al-Aqaba, until the emergence of the sun. So when the day illuminated for him^saww, he^saww departed until he^saww ended up to Mina, so he^saww pelted the rock of Al-Aqaba. And the sacrificial animals which Rasool-Allah^saww came with were sixty-four to sixty-six, and Ali^asws came with thirty-four to thirty-six. So Rasool-Allah^saww sacrificed sixty six, and Ali^asws sacrificed thirty-four camels. And Rasool-Allah^saww ordered a piece of flesh be taken from each camel sacrificed from it, then placed in a cooking pot, then cooked. So Rasool-Allah^saww and Ali^asws ate and sipped from its soup, and did not give to the butchers, their skins, nor their decorations, nor their reins, but gave in charity with it. And he^saww shaved (his^saww head), and visited the House (Kabah), and returned to Mina and stayed in it until it was the third day from the last days of Al-Tashreek (11^th, 12^th, and 13^th of Zilhajj). Then he^saww pelted the rocks and went until he^saww ended up to Al-Bat’ha. So Ayesha said to him^saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! You^saww are returning your^saww wives with Hajj and Umra together, and I should return (only) with Hajj?’ So he^saww stayed at Bat’ha and sent her with Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Bakr to al Al-Tan’eem. So she commenced with her Umra, then came over and circumambulated with the House, and Prayed two Cycles by the Standing Place of Ibrahim^as, and performed Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa. Then she came over to the Prophet^saww. So he^saww travelled from that day of his^saww and did not enter the Sacred Masjid and did not circumambulate with the House, and entered from the high ground of Makkah from Aqaba, of the two cities and went out from the lower ground of Makkah, from Zi-Tuwwa’.
