Volume 2, Book 26, Number 712:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka’ba, nor the
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. Then I informed Allah’s Apostle about it. He replied, “Perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka’ba till you get clean
(from your menses).”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 713:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
and Talha had the Hadi (sacrifice) with them. ‘Ali arrived from Yemen and had a Hadi with him. ‘Ali
said, “I have assumed Ihram for what the Prophet has done.” The Prophet ordered his companions to
perform the ‘Umra with the lhram which they had assumed, and after finishing Tawaf (of Ka’ba, Safa
and Marwa) to cut short their hair, and to finish their lhram except those who had Hadi with them.
They (the people) said, “How can we proceed to Mina (for Hajj) after having sexual relations with
our wives?” When that news reached the Prophet he said, “If I had formerly known what I came to
know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me. Had there been no Hadi with me, I would
have finished the state of lhram.” ‘Aisha got her menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj
except Tawaf of the Ka’ba, and when she got clean (from her menses), she performed Tawaf of the
Ka’ba. She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and ‘Umra, but I am re –
turning after performing Hajj only.” So the Prophet ordered ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to accom –
pany her to Tan’im and thus she performed the ‘Umra after the Hajj.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 714:
Narrated Hafsa:
(On ‘Id) We used to forbid our virgins to go out (for ‘Id prayer). A lady came and stayed at the
Palace of Bani Khalaf. She mentioned that her sister was married to one of the companions of Allah’s
Apostle who participated in twelve Ghazawats along with Allah’s Apostle and her sister was with
him in six of them. She said, “We used to dress the wounded and look after the patients.” She (her sis –
ter) asked Allah’s Apostle , “Is there any harm for a woman to stay at home if she doesn’t have a veil?”
He said, “She should cover herself with the veil of her companion and she should take part in the
good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers.” When Um ‘Atiyya came, I asked her. “Did
you hear anything about that?” Um ‘Atiyya said, “Bi Abi” and she never mentioned the name of Allah’s
Apostle without saying “Bi Abi” (i.e. ‘Let my father be sacrificed for you’). We asked her, “Have you
heard Allah’s Apostle saying so and so (about women)?” She replied in the affirmative and said, “Let
my father be sacrificed for him. He told us that unmarried mature virgins who stay often screened or

unmarried young virgins and mature girls who stay often screened should come out and take part in
the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers. But the menstruating women should
keep away from the Musalla (praying place).” I asked her, “The menstruating women?” She replied,
“Don’t they present themselves at ‘Arafat and at such and such places?”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 715:
Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz bin Rufai:
I asked Anas bin Malik, “Tell me what you remember from Allah’s Apostle (regarding these ques –
tions): Where did he offer the Zuhr and ‘Asr prayers on the day of Tarwiya (8th day of Dhul-Hajja)?”
He relied, “(He offered these prayers) at Mina.” I asked, “Where did he offer the ‘Asr prayer on the day
of Nafr (i.e. departure from Mina on the 12th or 13th of Dhul-Hijja)?” He replied, “At Al-Abtah,” and
then added, “You should do as your chiefs do.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 716:
Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz:
I went out to Mina on the day of Tarwiya and met Anas going on a donkey. I asked him, “Where
did the Prophet offer the Zuhr prayer on this day?” Anas replied, “See where your chiefs pray and
pray similarly.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 717:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle offered a two-Rakat prayer at Mina. Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, (during the
early years of his caliphate) followed the same practice.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 718:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab Al-Khuza’i:
The Prophet led us in a two-Rakat prayer at Mina although our number was more than ever and
we were in better security than ever.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 719:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Masud:
I offered (only a) two Rakat prayer with the Prophet (at Mina), and similarly with Abu Bakr and
with ‘Umar, and then you d offered in opinions. Wish that I would be lucky enough to have two of
the four Rakat accepted (by Allah).
