Volume 2 Book 26 Hadith 617

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 617:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abbas:
The Prophet with his companions started from Medina after combing and oiling his hair and put –
ting on two sheets of lhram (upper body cover and waist cover). He did not forbid anyone to wear
any kind of sheets except the ones colored with saffron because they may leave the scent on the skin.
And so in the early morning, the Prophet mounted his Mount while in Dhul-Hulaifa and set out till
they reached Baida’, where he and his companions recited Talbiya, and then they did the ceremony
of Taqlid (which means to put the colored garlands around the necks of the Budn (camels for sacri –
fice). And all that happened on the 25th of Dhul-Qa’da. And when he reached Mecca on the 4th of
Dhul-Hijja he performed the Tawaf round the Ka’ba and performed the Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa. And as he had a Badana and had garlanded it, he did not finish his Ihram. He proceeded to –
wards the highest places of Mecca near Al-Hujun and he was assuming the Ihram for Hajj and did
not go near the Ka’ba after he performed Tawaf (round it) till he returned from ‘Arafat. Then he
ordered his companions to perform the Tawaf round the Ka’ba and then the Tawaf of Safa and Mar –
wa, and to cut short the hair of their heads and to finish their Ihram. And that was only for those
people who had not garlanded Budn. Those who had their wives with them were permitted to con –
tact them (have sexual intercourse), and similarly perfume and (ordinary) clothes were permissible
for them.
