Sahih Muslim — Pilgrimage

Abdullah b. Umar reported that he reached the Ka'ba and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had entered therein, and Bilal and Usama too. 'Uthman b. Talha closed the door to them, and they stayed there for a considerable time, and then the door was opend and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came out, and I went upstairs and entered the House and said:Where did Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) observe prayer? They said: At this very place. I, however, forgot to ask them about the (number of) rak'ahs that he observed

وحدثني حميد بن مسعدة، حدثنا خالد، - يعني ابن الحارث - حدثنا عبد الله، بن عون عن نافع، عن عبد الله بن عمر، انه انتهى الى الكعبة وقد دخلها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وبلال واسامة واجاف عليهم عثمان بن طلحة الباب قال فمكثوا فيه مليا ثم فتح الباب فخرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورقيت الدرجة فدخلت البيت فقلت اين صلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالوا ها هنا . قال ونسيت ان اسالهم كم صلى

Salim narrated on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the House along with Usama b. Zaid, Bilal and Uthman b. Talha. They closed the door from within, and, as they opened it, I was the first to get into it and meet Bilal, and I asked him:Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observe prayer in it? He said: Yes, he observed prayer between these two Yemenite pillars (pillars situated towards the side of Yemen)

وحدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا ليث، ح وحدثنا ابن رمح، اخبرنا الليث، عن ابن، شهاب عن سالم، عن ابيه، انه قال دخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم البيت هو واسامة بن زيد وبلال وعثمان بن طلحة فاغلقوا عليهم فلما فتحوا كنت في اول من ولج فلقيت بلالا فسالته هل صلى فيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال نعم صلى بين العمودين اليمانيين

Salim b. Abdullah reported his father (Allah be pleased with him) saying:I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entering the Ka'ba, and Usama b. Zaid, Bilal and 'Uthman b. Talha were along with him, but none (else) entered therein along with them. Then the door was closed for them from within. 'Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: Bilal and Uthman b. Talha informed me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observed prayer in the interior of the Ka'ba between the two Yemenite pillars

وحدثني حرملة بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابن وهب، اخبرني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، اخبرني سالم بن عبد الله، عن ابيه، قال رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل الكعبة هو واسامة بن زيد وبلال وعثمان بن طلحة ولم يدخلها معهم احد ثم اغلقت عليهم . قال عبد الله بن عمر فاخبرني بلال او عثمان بن طلحة ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى في جوف الكعبة بين العمودين اليمانيين

Ibn Juraij reported:I said to 'Ata': Have you heard Ibn 'Abbas saying: You have been commanded to observe circumambulation, and not commanded to enter it (the Ka'ba)? He ('Ata') said: He (Ibn Abbas) (at the same time) did not forbid entrance into it. I, however, heard him saying: Usama b. Zaid informed me that when Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) entered the House, he supplicated in all sides of it; and he did not observe prayer therein till he came out, and as he came out he observed two rak'ahs in front of the House, and said: This is your Qibla. I said to him: What is meant by its sides? Does that mean its corners? He said: (In all sides and nooks of the House) there is Qibla

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، وعبد بن حميد، جميعا عن ابن بكر، قال عبد اخبرنا محمد بن بكر، اخبرنا ابن جريج، قال قلت لعطاء اسمعت ابن عباس يقول انما امرتم بالطواف ولم تومروا بدخوله . قال لم يكن ينهى عن دخوله ولكني سمعته يقول اخبرني اسامة بن زيد ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لما دخل البيت دعا في نواحيه كلها ولم يصل فيه حتى خرج فلما خرج ركع في قبل البيت ركعتين . وقال " هذه القبلة " . قلت له ما نواحيها افي زواياها قال بل في كل قبلة من البيت

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) entered the Ka'ba, and in it there were six pillars, and he stood near a pillar and made supplication, but did not observe the prayer

حدثنا شيبان بن فروخ، حدثنا همام، حدثنا عطاء، عن ابن عباس، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل الكعبة وفيها ست سوار فقام عند سارية فدعا ولم يصل

Isma'il b. Abu Khalid reported:I asked Abdullah b. Abu Aufa (Allah be pleased with him), a Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), whether Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had entered the House, while performing 'Umra, He said: NO

وحدثني سريج بن يونس، حدثني هشيم، اخبرنا اسماعيل بن ابي خالد، قال قلت لعبد الله بن ابي اوفى صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ادخل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم البيت في عمرته قال لا

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported:Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) said to me: Had your people not been unbelievers in the recent past (had they not quite recently accepted Islam), I would have demolished the Ka'ba and would have rebuilt it on the foundation (laid) by Ibrahim; for when the Quraish had built the Ka'ba, they reduced its (area), and I would also have built (a door) in the rear

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابو معاوية، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، قالت قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لولا حداثة عهد قومك بالكفر لنقضت الكعبة ولجعلتها على اساس ابراهيم فان قريشا حين بنت البيت استقصرت ولجعلت لها خلفا

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Hisham with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثناه ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، وابو كريب قالا حدثنا ابن نمير، عن هشام، بهذا الاسناد

A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said this:Didn't you see that when your people built the Ka'ba, they reduced (its area with the result that it no longer remains) on the foundations (laid) by Ibrahim. I said: Messenger of Allah, why don't you rebuild it on the foundations (laid by) Ibrahim? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Had your people not been new converts to Islam, I would have done that. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: If 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) had heard it from Allah's Messenger (may peace be up (vn him), I would not have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) abandoning the touching of the two corners situated near al-Hijr, but (for the fact) that it was not completed on the foundations (laid) by Ibrihim

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن ابن شهاب، عن سالم بن عبد، الله ان عبد الله بن محمد بن ابي بكر الصديق، اخبر عبد الله بن عمر، عن عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " الم ترى ان قومك حين بنوا الكعبة اقتصروا عن قواعد ابراهيم " . قالت فقلت يا رسول الله افلا تردها على قواعد ابراهيم . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لولا حدثان قومك بالكفر لفعلت " . فقال عبد الله بن عمر لين كانت عايشة سمعت هذا من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما ارى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ترك استلام الركنين اللذين يليان الحجر الا ان البيت لم يتمم على قواعد ابراهيم

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:If your people, had not been recent converts to Islam, I would have spent the treasure of the Ka'ba in the way of Allah and would have constructed its door just on the level of the ground and would have encompassed in it the space of Hijr

حدثني ابو الطاهر، اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، عن مخرمة، ح وحدثني هارون، بن سعيد الايلي حدثنا ابن وهب، اخبرني مخرمة بن بكير، عن ابيه، قال سمعت نافعا، مولى ابن عمر يقول سمعت عبد الله بن ابي بكر بن ابي قحافة، يحدث عبد الله بن عمر عن عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انها قالت سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " لولا ان قومك حديثو عهد بجاهلية - او قال بكفر - لانفقت كنز الكعبة في سبيل الله ولجعلت بابها بالارض ولادخلت فيها من الحجر

Abdullah b. Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) reported on the authority of his mother's sister ('A'isha) saying that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:'A'isha, if your people had not been recently polytheists (and new converts to Islam), I would have demolished the Ka'ba, and would have brought it to the level of the ground and would have constructed two doors, one facing the east and the other one to the west, and would have added to it six cubits of area from Hijr, for the Quraish had reduced it when they rebuilt it

وحدثني محمد بن حاتم، حدثني ابن مهدي، حدثنا سليم بن حيان، عن سعيد، - يعني ابن ميناء - قال سمعت عبد الله بن الزبير، يقول حدثتني خالتي، - يعني عايشة - قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا عايشة لولا ان قومك حديثو عهد بشرك لهدمت الكعبة فالزقتها بالارض وجعلت لها بابين بابا شرقيا وبابا غربيا وزدت فيها ستة اذرع من الحجر فان قريشا اقتصرتها حيث بنت الكعبة

Ata' reported:The House was burnt during the time of Yazid b. Muawiya when the people of Syria had fought (in Mecca). And it happened with it (the Ka'ba) what was (in store for it). Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) felt it (in the same state) until the people came in the season (of Hajj). (The idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort them or incite them (to war) against the people of Syria. When the people had arrived he said to them: O people, advise me about the Ka'ba. Should I demolish it and then build it from its very foundation, or should I repair whatever has been damaged of it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea has occurred to me according to which I think that you should only repair (the portion which has been) damaged, and leave the House (in that very state in which) people embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in the same state) when people embraced Islam, and over which Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had raised it. Thereupon Ibn Zubair said: It the house of any one of you is burnt, he would not be contented until he had reconstructed it, then what about the House of your Lord (which is far more Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from my Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about this affair. After seeking good advice thrice, he made up his mind to demolish it. The people apprehended that calamity might fall from heaven on those persons who would be first to climb (over the building for the purpose of demolishing it), till one (took up courage, and ascended the roof), and threw down one of its stones. When the people saw no calamity befalling him, they followed him, demolished it until it was razed to the ground. Then Ibn Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains on them (in order to provide facilities to the people for observing the time of its construction). And the walls were raised; and Ibn Zubair said: I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) say that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned) unbelief, find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which I had not, I would have definitely excompassed in it five cubits of area from Hijr. And I would also have constructed a door for the people to enter, and a door for their exit. I today have (the means to spend) and I entertain no fearfrom the side of people (that they would protest against this change). So he added five cubits of area from the side of Hatim to it that there appeared (the old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had built the Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the Ka'ba was eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it (which was in its breadth), then naturally the length appears to be) small (as compared with its breadth). Then addition of ten cubits (of area) was made in its length (also). Two doors were also constructed, one of which (was meant) for entrance and the other one for exit. When Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) was killed, Hajjaj wrote to 'Abd al-Malik (b. Marwan) informing him about it, and telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) had built (the Ka'ba) on those very foundations (which were laid by Ibrahim) and which reliable persons among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al-Malik wrote to him: We are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in anything. Keep intact the addition made by him in the side of length, and whatever he has added frem the side of Hijr revert to (its previous) foundation, and wall up the door which he had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd al-Malik) demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on (its previous) foundations

Abdullah b. 'Ubaid reported that Harith b. 'Abdullah led a deputation to 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan during his caliphate. 'Abd al-Malik said:I do riot think that Abu Khubaib (i. e. Ibn Zabair) had heard from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) (about the intended wish of the Prophet [may peace be upon him) In regard to the alteration of the Ka'ba). Harith said: Yes, I myself did hear from her. He ('Abd al-Malik) said: Well, tell me what you heard from her. He stated that she (Hadrat 'A'isha) had said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) remarked: Verily your people have reduced (the area) of the House from its (original foundations, and if they had not recently abandoned polytheism (and embraced Islam) I would have reversed it to (those foundations) which they had left out of it. nd if your people would take initiative after me in rebuilding it, then come along with me so that I should show you what they have left out of it. He showed her about fifteen cubits of area from the side of Hatim (that they had separated). This is the narration transmitted by 'Abdullah b. Ubaid. Walid b. 'Ata' has, however, made this addition to it:" Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: I would have made two doors on the level of the ground (facing) the east and the west. Do you know why your people raised the level of its door (i. e. the door of the Ka'ba)? She said: No. He said: (They did it) out of vanity so that (they might be in a position) to grant admittance to him only whom they wished. When a person intended to get into it, they let him climb (the stairs), and as he was about to enter, they pushed him and he fell down." 'Abd al-Malik said to Harith; Did you yourself hear her saying this? He said: Yes. He (Harith) said that he ('Abd al-Malik) scratched the ground with his staff for some time and then said: I wish I had left his (Ibn Zubair's) work there

حدثني محمد بن حاتم، حدثنا محمد بن بكر، اخبرنا ابن جريج، قال سمعت عبد، الله بن عبيد بن عمير والوليد بن عطاء يحدثان عن الحارث بن عبد الله بن ابي ربيعة، قال عبد الله بن عبيد وفد الحارث بن عبد الله على عبد الملك بن مروان في خلافته فقال عبد الملك ما اظن ابا خبيب - يعني ابن الزبير - سمع من عايشة ما كان يزعم انه سمعه منها . قال الحارث بلى انا سمعته منها . قال سمعتها تقول ماذا قال قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان قومك استقصروا من بنيان البيت ولولا حداثة عهدهم بالشرك اعدت ما تركوا منه فان بدا لقومك من بعدي ان يبنوه فهلمي لاريك ما تركوا منه " . فاراها قريبا من سبعة اذرع . هذا حديث عبد الله بن عبيد وزاد عليه الوليد بن عطاء قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ولجعلت لها بابين موضوعين في الارض شرقيا وغربيا وهل تدرين لم كان قومك رفعوا بابها " . قالت قلت لا . قال " تعززا ان لا يدخلها الا من ارادوا فكان الرجل اذا هو اراد ان يدخلها يدعونه يرتقي حتى اذا كاد ان يدخل دفعوه فسقط " . قال عبد الملك للحارث انت سمعتها تقول هذا قال نعم. قال فنكت ساعة بعصاه ثم قال وددت اني تركته وما تحمل

وحدثناه محمد بن عمرو بن جبلة، حدثنا ابو عاصم، ح وحدثنا عبد بن حميد، اخبرنا عبد الرزاق، كلاهما عن ابن جريج، بهذا الاسناد . مثل حديث ابن بكر

Abu Qaza'ah reported that while Abd al-Malik b. Marwan was circumambulating the Ka'ba he said:May Allah ruin Ibn Zubair that he lies in attributing to the Mother of the Faithful, as he says: I heard her stating that Allah's Messenger (may'peace be upon him) had said: 'A'isha, if your people had not been new converts to Islam, I would have demolished the House and would have added (in it area) from the Hijr for your people have reduced the area from its foundations. Harith b. 'Abdullah b. Abu Rabi'a (Allah be pleased with him) said: Commander of the Faithful, don't say that, for I heard the Mother of the Faithful saying this, whereupon he said: If I had heard this before demolishing it, I would have left it in the state in which Ibn Zabair had built it

وحدثني محمد بن حاتم، حدثنا عبد الله بن بكر السهمي، حدثنا حاتم بن ابي، صغيرة عن ابي قزعة، ان عبد الملك بن مروان، بينما هو يطوف بالبيت اذ قال قاتل الله ابن الزبير حيث يكذب على ام المومنين يقول سمعتها تقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا عايشة لولا حدثان قومك بالكفر لنقضت البيت حتى ازيد فيه من الحجر فان قومك قصروا في البناء " . فقال الحارث بن عبد الله بن ابي ربيعة لا تقل هذا يا امير المومنين فانا سمعت ام المومنين تحدث هذا . قال لو كنت سمعته قبل ان اهدمه لتركته على ما بنى ابن الزبير

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported:I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the wall, circumpassing the House (i. e. whether the wall on the side of Hijr was included in the Ka'ba). He said, Yes. I said: Then why did they not include it in the House? He said: 'Your people ran short of the means (to do so). I said: Why is it that the level of its door is raised high? He said: Your people did it so that they should admit one whom they liked, and forbid him whom they disliked, and if your people were not new converts to faith, and I did not apprehend that their hearts would feel agitated at this. I would have definitely included (the area of) this wall-in the House and would have brought the door to the level of the ground

حدثنا سعيد بن منصور، حدثنا ابو الاحوص، حدثنا اشعث بن ابي الشعثاء، عن الاسود بن يزيد، عن عايشة، قالت سالت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الجدر امن البيت هو قال " نعم " . قلت فلم لم يدخلوه في البيت قال " ان قومك قصرت بهم النفقة " . قلت فما شان بابه مرتفعا قال " فعل ذلك قومك ليدخلوا من شاءوا ويمنعوا من شاءوا ولولا ان قومك حديث عهدهم في الجاهلية فاخاف ان تنكر قلوبهم لنظرت ان ادخل الجدر في البيت وان الزق بابه بالارض

A'isha reported:I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about Hijr, and the rest of the hadith is the same. I also said: Why is it that the door has been made on a higher level, and one cannot (get into it) but with the help of a ladder? The rest of the hadith is the same as reported above and the concluding words are: (I do not change it) out of the apprehension that their hearts may disapprove of it

وحدثناه ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، قال حدثنا عبيد الله، - يعني ابن موسى - حدثنا شيبان، عن اشعث بن ابي الشعثاء، عن الاسود بن يزيد، عن عايشة، قالت سالت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الحجر . وساق الحديث بمعنى حديث ابي الاحوص وقال فيه فقلت فما شان بابه مرتفعا لا يصعد اليه الا بسلم وقال " مخافة ان تنفر قلوبهم

Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that while al-Fadl b. Abbas had been riding behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a women of the tribe of Khath'am came to him (to the Holy Proppet) asking for a religious verdict. Fadl looked at her and she looked at him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) turned the face of al-Fadl to the other side. She said:Messenger of Allah, there is an obligation from Allah upon His servants in regard to Hajj. (But) my father is an aged man; he is incapable of riding safely. May I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: Yes. It was during the Farewell Pilgrimage

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن ابن شهاب، عن سليمان بن، يسار عن عبد الله بن عباس، انه قال كان الفضل بن عباس رديف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاءته امراة من خثعم تستفتيه فجعل الفضل ينظر اليها وتنظر اليه فجعل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصرف وجه الفضل الى الشق الاخر . قالت يا رسول الله ان فريضة الله على عباده في الحج ادركت ابي شيخا كبيرا لا يستطيع ان يثبت على الراحلة افاحج عنه قال " نعم " . وذلك في حجة الوداع

Fadl reported that a woman of Banu Khath'am said:Messenger of Allah, my father is very old. There is an old obligation of Hajj upon him from Allah, but he is not capable of sitting on the back of the camel. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Perform Hajj on his behalf

حدثني علي بن خشرم، اخبرنا عيسى، عن ابن جريج، عن ابن شهاب، حدثنا سليمان بن يسار، عن ابن عباس، عن الفضل، ان امراة، من خثعم قالت يا رسول الله ان ابي شيخ كبير عليه فريضة الله في الحج وهو لا يستطيع ان يستوي على ظهر بعيره . فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " فحجي عنه

Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) met some riders at al-Rauha and asked who they were. They replied that they were Muslims. They said:Who art thou? He said: (I am) Messengef of Allah. A woman (then) lifted up a boy to him and said: Would this child be credited with having performed the Hajj? Thereupon he said: Yes, and you will have a reward
