The Prophet of Mercy Website

When the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), completed the proclamation of the message, Makkah was conquered and people embraced Islam in multitudes, Allaah The Almighty enjoined performance of pilgrimage at the end of the ninth year of Hijrah. So, the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), resolved to perform Hajj and he declared his intention for that purpose.

Due to flooding, fires, attacks and other disasters, the Ka'bah has been rebuilt on several occasions, but always on the same foundation built upon by Ibraaheem may Allaah exalt his mention. One of these renovations occurred few years before Prophet Muhammad's sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) prophethood. Although this was before the time of the Quranic Revelation, the people of Quraysh made a pledge not to use money made from impure sources, such as prostitution, usury and other types of bad dealing or injustice.

The Hadeeth (narration) of Jaabir may Allaah be pleased with him which draws for us the description of the Hajj of the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), is a great Hadeeth on this topic and a cornerstone in clarifying the rulings of Hajj. This Hadeeth was narrated in full by Imaam Muslim in his Saheeh and was not narrated by Al-Bukhaari in his Al-Jaami‘ may Allaah have mercy upon them.

Following is the full text of the Hadeeth as narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh:

The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) then waited a little until the sun rose, and commanded that a tent of hair should be pitched at Namirah. The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) then set out and the Quraysh did not doubt that he would halt at Al-Mash‘ar Al-Haraam (the sacred site at Muzdalifah) as the Quraysh used to do in the pre-Islamic period.

Once reaching Makkah, the pilgrim should hasten to Al-Masjid Al-Haraam in order to make Tawaaf (circumambulation) because Tawaaf is the most important goal for the pilgrim performing Hajj or 'Umrah.

- Permissibility to touch the Black Stone at the beginning of Tawaaf.

- Permissibility to kiss the Black Stone during Tawaaf but one should not overcrowd to reach it. It is impermissible to kiss any other inanimate objects and stones such as the standing place of Ibraaheem or the walls of the Ka'bah.

Is it not a great honor that the first person to embrace Islam was a woman? She was the first to bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that her husband was the Messenger of Allaah. Her husband was our beloved Prophet, Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) and she was Khadeejah may Allaah be pleased with her.

On a joyful day in the city of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ……

On the morning of a happy Eid……

The house of the Prophet witnessed the scenes of the celebration of Eid under the supervision of the best human beings: Muhammad ‎ (p.b.u.h) ‎.

1-Going to the ‘Eed Prayer using one route and returning via another one, as Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullaah may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), used to do so.

Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allaah have mercy upon him said:

The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) used to go to the ‘Eed Prayer on foot taking one route and then return via another one. There are many opinions regarding the rationale behind this:

1-Prepare yourself for the 'Eed prayer by taking a bath and wearing your best clothes.Imaam Maalik narrated in his Muwatta’ on the authorityof Naafi‘that, “Ibn ‘Umar used to bathe on the day of 'Eed Al-Fitr before heading to the prayer.”[Authentic chain of narrators]
