Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
I came to the Prophet at Al-Batha’ while his camel was kneeling down and he asked me, “Have you
intended to perform the Hajj?” I replied in the affirmative. He asked me, ‘With what intention have
you assumed Ihram?” I replied, “I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet.

you finish from Hajj, if you follow the Prophet then he did not finish his Ihram till the Hadi (sacri –
fice) had reached its place of slaughtering (Hajj-al-Qiran).”

has kept up His promise and made His slave victorious, and He Alone defeated all the clans of (non-
