SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 26: PILGRIMMAGE (HAJJ)
In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet entered Mecca from the side of Kada. Urwa used
to enter through both places and he often entered through Kada’ which was nearer of the two to his
dwelling place.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 652:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
When the Ka’ba was built, the Prophet and Abbas went to bring stones (for its construction). Al
Abbas said to the Prophet, “Take off your waist sheet and put it on your neck.” (When the Prophet
took it off) he fell on the ground with his eyes open towards the sky and said, “Give me my waist
sheet.” And he covered himself with it.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 653:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that Allah’s Apostle said to her, “Do you know that when your people
(Quraish) rebuilt the Ka’ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by Abraham?” I said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Why don’t you rebuild it on its original foundation laid by Abraham?” He replied,
“Were it not for the fact that your people are close to the pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they
have recently become Muslims) I would have done so.” The sub-narrator, ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar )
stated: ‘Aisha ‘must have heard this from Allah’s Apostle for in my opinion Allah’s Apostle had not
placed his hand over the two corners of the Ka’ba opposite Al-Hijr only because the Ka’ba was not
rebuilt on its original foundations laid by Abraham.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 654:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I asked the Prophet whether the round wall (near Ka’ba) was part of the Ka’ba. The Prophet replied
in the affirmative. I further said, “What is wrong with them, why have they not included it in the
building of the Ka’ba?” He said, “Don’t you see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they
could not include it inside the building of Ka’ba)?” I asked, “What about its gate? Why is it so high?”
He replied, “Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and prevent whomever
they liked. Were your people not close to the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently
embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included the
(area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka’ba and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the
ground.”

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 639:
Narrated Abu Shihab:
I left for Mecca for Hajj-at-Tamattu’ assuming Ihram for ‘Umra. I reached Mecca three days be –
fore the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja). Some people of Mecca said to me, “Your Hajj will be like
the Hajj performed by the people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of assuming Ihram from
the Miqat). So I went to ‘Ata’ asking him his view about it. He said, “Jabir bin ‘Abdullah narrated to
me, ‘I performed Hajj with Allah’s Apostle on the day when he drove camels with him. The people
had assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf
round the Ka’ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in
Mecca) as non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume
Ihram for Hajj and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for ‘Umra
only. They asked, ‘How can we make it ‘Umra (Tamattu’) as we have intended to perform Hajj?’ The
Prophet said, ‘Do what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done

the same, but I cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).’ So,
they did (what he ordered them to do).”

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
‘Ali and ‘Uthman differed regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu’ while they were at ‘Usfan (a familiar place
near Mecca). ‘Ali said, “I see you want to forbid people to do a thing that the Prophet did?” When ‘Ali
saw that, he assumed Ihram for both Hajj and ‘Umra.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 625:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever Ibn ‘Umar intended to go to Mecca he used to oil himself with a sort of oil that had no
pleasant smell, then he would go to the Mosque of Al-Hulaita and offer the prayer, and then ride.
When he mounted well on his Mount and the Mount stood up straight, he would proclaim the in –
tention of assuming Ihram, and he used to say that he had seen the Prophet doing the same.
