كتاب الحج

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said that Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina for people who had something to ask. A man came and said, Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), being ignorant. I shaved before sacrificing, whereupon the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, now sacrifice (the animal) and there is no harm (for you). Then another man came, and he said, Apostle of Allah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles, whereupon he said, (now) throw the pebbles, and there is no harm (for you). Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after (its proper time) but he said, do it, and no harm is there (for you).

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) stopped while riding his camel and the people began to ask him. One of the inquirers said, Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I did not know that pebbles should be thrown before sacrificing the animal and by mistake I sacrificed the animal before throwing pebbles. Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, (now) throw pebbles and there is no harm in it. Then another (person) came saying, I did not know that the animal was to be sacrificed before shaving, but I got myself shaved before sacrificing the animal, whereupon he said, sacrifice the animal (now) and there is no harm in it. He (the narrator) said, I did not hear that anything was asked on that day which a person forgot and could not observe the sequence or anything like it either due to forgetfulness or ignorance, but Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said (about that), do it; there is no harm in it.

This Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri.

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As ( رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that as Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was delivering sermon on the Day of Nahr, a man stood up before him and said, Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I did not know that such and such (rite was to be performed) before such and such (rite). Then another man came and said, Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I thought that such and such (rite) should precede such and such (rite), and then another man came and said: Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I had thought that such and such was before such and such, and such and such (is the sequence) of the three (rites, viz. throwing of pebbles, sacrificing of animal, and shaving of one's head). He said to all these three, do now there is no harm in it.

This Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters. And the narration of Ibn Bakr is like one transmitted by 'Isa but with this (variation), there are not these words in it, ‘to all these three rites (throwing of pebbles sacrificing of animal and shaving of one's head). And so far as the narration of Yahya al-Umawi (the words are), I got (my head) shaved before I sacrificed the animal, and I sacrificed the animal before throwing pebbles, and like that.

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that a person came to Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and said, I got (my head) shaved before sacrificing the animal, whereupon the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, sacrifice the animal (now); there is no harm in it. He (the person said), I sacrificed the animal before throwing pebbles. whereupon he said, throw pebbles (now); there is no harm in it.

This Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are), I saw Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) on the back of the camel at Mina, and a person came to him,’ and the rest of the Hadith is like that transmitted by Ibn 'Uyaina.

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-'As ( رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that as Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was standing near the Jamra, a person came to him on the Day of Nahr and said, Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), I got (my head shaved) before throwing pebbles, whereupon the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, throw pebbles (now); there is no harm in it. Another man came and said, I have sacrificed before throwing the stones. He said, throw stones (now) and there is no harm. Another came to him and said, I have observed the circumambulation of Ifada of the House before throwing pebbles. He said, throw pebbles (now); there is no harm in it, He (the narrator) said, I did not see that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was asked about anything on that day, but he said, do, and there is no harm in it.

Ibn Abbas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) reported that it was said to Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) about sacrificing of animals, shaving of one's head, throwing of pebbles, and (the order of) precedence and succession, and he said, ‘there is no harm in it.’
