Al-Kafi 6849

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww, when he^saww performed Hajj, the Hajj of Al-Islam, went out during where there remained four days from Zil-Qadah until he^saww came over to Al-Shajara. So he^saww Prayed by it, then sat upon his^saww ride until he^saww came to Al-Bayda. So he^saww wore the Ihram from it, and commenced with the Hajj, and ushered one hundred camels. And the people, all of them, wore their Ihrams with the Hajj, not intending an Umra, nor knowing what the Mut’a (of Hajj) was, until when Rasool-Allah^saww set foot in Makkah, he^saww circumambulated by the House, then the people circumambulated along with him^saww. Then he^saww Prayed two Cycles by the Standing Place (of Ibrahim^as, and kissed the (Black) Stone, then said: ‘Begin with what Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Began with’. So he^saww came over to Al-Saffa and began with it. Then he^saww circumambulated between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, seven (times). So when he^saww had completed his^saww circumambulations at Al-Marwa, he^saww stood preaching. So he^saww ordered them that they should free (themselves from the Ihram), and make it to be an Umra, and it is something which Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic had Commanded with. So the people freed (themselves from the Ihram), and Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘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’, and he^saww did not have the leeway that he^saww frees (from his^saww Ihram) due to the reason of the sacrificial animal which were with him^azwj. Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h196"><a href="/books/quran:2#h196">[2:196]</a></a> and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination</span>. So, Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Ju’sham said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Teach us as if we were Created today. What is your^saww view of this which you^saww are ordering us with. Is it for this year of ours, or for every year?’ So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘No, but it is for ever and ever’. And a man stood up, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! We came out as Pilgrims and our heads are dripping’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘You will never believe in this, ever!’ He^asws said: ‘And Ali^asws came back from Al-Yemen until fulfilled the Hajj. So he^asws found Syeda Fatima^asws having had freed (from wearing the Ihram), and found aromatic fragrance. So he^asws went to Rasool-Allah^saww to follow up. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O Ali^asws! With which thing have you^asws welcomed (the Hajj)?’ So he^asws said: ‘I^asws welcomed with the welcoming of the Prophet^saww’. So he^saww said: ‘Do not free (from the Ihram), for you^asws are a participant in the sacrifice’, and he^saww made thirty-seven to be for him^asws, and Rasool-Allah^saww sacrificed sixty-three, which he^saww sacrificed with his^saww own hands. Then he^saww grabbed a piece from each camel to be in one pot. Then he^saww ordered with it, so it was cooked. So he^saww ate from it and sipped from the soup, and said: ‘We^saww have eaten from it now together, and the Mut’a (of the Hajj) is better than pairing the usherer, and better than the individual Hajj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws, ‘Did Rasool-Allah^saww wear the Ihram at night or at daytime?’ So he^asws said: ‘Daytime’. I said, ‘Which time?’ He^asws said: ‘Al-Zohr Prayer’.
