so-and-so, Ibn ‘Abbas said so-and-so.’ He who wants to perform the Tawaf around the Ka’ba should

go behind Al-Hijr (i.e. a portion of the Ka’ba left out unroofed) and do not call it Al-Hatim, for in the

it.

While ‘Umar was at home in a state of fear, there came Al-‘As bin Wail As-Sahmi Abu ‘Amr, wear –
ing an embroidered cloak and a shirt having silk hems. He was from the tribe of Bani Sahm who
were our allies during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. Al-‘As said to ‘Umar “What is wrong with
you?” He said, “Your people claim that they would kill me if I become a Muslim.” Al-‘As said, “Nobody
will harm you after I have given protection to you.” So Al-‘As went out and met the people streaming
in the whole valley. He said, “Where are you going?” They said, “We want Ibn Al-Khattab who has
embraced Islam.” Al-‘As said, “There is no way for anybody to touch him.” So the people retreated.

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The people used to consider the performance of ‘Umra in the months of Hajj an evil deed on the
earth, and they used to call the month of Muharram as Safar and used to say, “When (the wounds
over) the backs (of the camels) have healed and the foot-marks (of the camels) have vanished (after

coming from Hajj), then ‘Umra becomes legal for the one who wants to perform ‘Umra.” Allah’s
Apostle and his companions reached Mecca assuming Ihram for Hajj on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja.
The Prophet ordered his companions to perform ‘Umra (with that lhram instead of Hajj). They asked,
“O Allah’s Apostle! What kind of finishing of Ihram?” The Prophet said, “Finish the Ihram completely.’

Narrated Qais bin Abi Hazim:
Abu Bakr went to a lady from the Ahmas tribe called Zainab bint Al-Muhajir and found that she
refused to speak. He asked, “Why does she not speak.” The people said, “She has intended to perform
Hajj without speaking.” He said to her, “Speak, for it is illegal not to speak, as it is an action of the
pre-islamic period of ignorance. So she spoke and said, “Who are you?” He said, “A man from the
Emigrants.” She asked, “Which Emigrants?” He replied, “From Quraish.” She asked, “From what
branch of Quraish are you?” He said, “You ask too many questions; I am Abu Bakr.” She said, “How
long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e. Islamic religion) which Allah has brought after the period of
ignorance?” He said, “You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regu –
lations.” She asked, “What are the Imams?” He said, “Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation
who used to order the people and they used to obey them?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “So they (i.e. the
Imams) are those whom I meant.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
A black lady slave of some of the ‘Arabs embraced Islam and she had a hut in the mosque. She
used to visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: “The day of the scarf
was one of our Lord’s wonders: Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr.” When she said
the above verse many times, I (i.e. ‘Aisha) asked her, “What was the day of the scarf?” She replied,
“Once the daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her
neck) and the leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a
piece of meat. They (i.e. my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent
that they even looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in my
great distress, suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf, and they took it. I said to
them ‘This is what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent.”
