Volume 6, Book 60, Number 44:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
‘Ukaz, Mijanna and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the Pre-islamic Period. They (i.e. Muslims)
considered it a sin to trade there during the Hajj time (i.e. season), so this Verse was revealed:–
“There is no harm for you if you seek of the Bounty of your Lord during the Hajj season.” (2.198)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 60:
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair:
I said to ‘Uthman, “This Verse which is in Surat-al-Baqara:
“Those of you who die and leave widows behind…without turning them out.” has been abrogated
by another Verse. Why then do you write it (in the Qur’an)?” ‘Uthman said. “Leave it (where it is), O
the son of my brother, for I will not shift anything of it (i.e. the Quran) from its original position.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 45:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Quraish people and those who embraced their religion, used to stay at Muzdalifa and used to
call themselves Al-Hums, while the rest of the Arabs used to stay at ‘Arafat. When Islam came, Allah
ordered His Prophet to go to ‘Arafat and stay at it, and then pass on from there, and that is what is
meant by the Statement of Allah:–“Then depart from the place whence all the people depart……”
(2.199)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 46:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
A man who wants to perform the Hajj (from Mecca) can perform the Tawaf around the Ka’ba as
long as he is not in the state of Ihram till he assumes the Ihram for Hajj. Then, if he rides and pro –
ceeds to ‘Arafat, he should take a Hadi (i.e. animal for sacrifice), either a camel or a cow or a sheep,
whatever he can afford; but if he cannot afford it, he should fast for three days during the Hajj be –
fore the day of ‘Arafat, but if the third day of his fasting happens to be the day of ‘Arafat (i.e. 9th of
Dhul-Hijja) then it is no sin for him (to fast on it). Then he should proceed to ‘Arafat and stay there
from the time of the ‘Asr prayer till darkness falls. Then the pilgrims should proceed from ‘Arafat,
and when they have departed from it, they reach Jam’ (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) where they ask Allah to
help them to be righteous and dutiful to Him, and there they remember Allah greatly or say Takbir
(i.e. Allah is Greater) and Tahlil (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah) repeatedly before
dawn breaks. Then, after offering the morning (Fajr) prayer you should pass on (to Mina) for the
people used to do so and Allah said:–
“Then depart from the place whence all the people depart. And ask for Allah’s Forgiveness. Truly!
Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (2.199) Then you should go on doing so till you throw
pebbles over the Jamra.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 48:
Narrated ‘Aisha :
The Prophet said, “The most hated man in the Sight of Allah is the one who is the most quarrel –
some.” Narrated ‘Aisha: The Prophet said, “Or do you think that you shall enter Paradise without such

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 49:
Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:
Ibn ‘Abbas recited: “(Respite will be granted) until when the Apostles gave up hope (of their
people) and thought that they were denied (by their people). There came to them Our Help ….”
(12.110) reading Kudhibu without doubling the sound ‘dh’, and that was what he understood of the
Verse. Then he went on reciting: “..even the Apostle and those who believed along with him said:
When (will come) Allah’s Help? Yes, verily, Allah’s Help is near.” (2.214)
Then I met ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair and I mentioned that to him. He said, “Aisha said, ‘Allah forbid!
By Allah, Allah never promised His Apostle anything but he knew that it would certainly happen be –
fore he died. But trials were continuously presented before the Apostles till they were afraid that
their followers would accuse them of telling lies. So I used to recite:–
“Till they (come to) think that they were treated as liars.” reading ‘Kudh-dhibu with double ‘dh.’
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 50:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever Ibn ‘Umar recited the Qur’an, he would not speak to anyone till he had finished his re –
citation. Once I held the Qur’an and he recited Surat-al-Baqara from his memory and then stopped
at a certain Verse and said, “Do you know in what connection this Verse was revealed? ” I replied,
“No.” He said, “It was revealed in such-and-such connection.” Ibn ‘Umar then resumed his recitation.
Nafi added regarding the Verse:–“So go to your tilth when or how you will” Ibn ‘Umar said, “It
means one should approach his wife in ..”
