Musnad Ahmed

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood in "Arafah and said: "This is the place of standing and all of "Arafah is a place of standing." He moved on when the sun set, then he put Usamah behind him (on his mount) and moved on at a measured pace on his camel, and the people started rushing right and left. He turned to them and said: "Calmly, O people.” Then he came to Jam" and led them in praying two prayers, Maghrib and "Isha". Then he stayed all night until morning came, then he came to Quzah and stood at Quzah, and said: "This is the place of standing and all of Jam" is a place of standing.” Then he moved on until he came to Muhassir, where he stood, then he struck his she-camel and she trotted until he crossed the valley, then he reined her in. Then he put al-Fadl behind him (on his mount) and carried on until he came to the Jamrah. He stoned it, then he came to the place of sacrifice and said: "This is the place of sacrifice and all of Mina is a place of sacrifice." He [the narrator] said: A young woman of Khath’am asked him: My father is an old man and has become senile; he has lived until Allah made Hajj obligatory, Will it be acceptable if I perform Hajj on his behalf? He said: "Yes; perform Hajj on behalf of your father." And he twisted al Fadl"s neck (to turn his face away). Al-"Abbas said to him: O Messenger of Allah, why did you twist the neck of your cousin? He said: "I saw a young man and a young woman and I was not certain that they would be safe from the Shaitan." Then a man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I shaved my head before offering a sacrifice. He said: “Offer your sacrifice, there is no problem.” Then another man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I did tawafal-ifadah before shaving my head. He said: “Shave your head or cut your hair, there is no problem." Then he came to the Ka"bah and circumambulated it, then he came to Zamzam and said: "O Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib, it is your right to draw water for pilgrims. Were it not that the people would overwhelm you, I would have drawn water myself."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The urine of a boy is to be sprinkled with water and the urine of a girl is to be washed." Qatadah said: That is if they are not yet eating solid food; if they are eating solid food then their urine is to be washed in both cases.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood in "Arafah with Usamah bin Zaid riding behind him, and said: "This is the place of standing, and all of "Arafah is a place of standing." Then he moved on at an unhurried pace, and the people started rushing right and left. He turned to them and said: "Calmly, O, people; calmly, O people." Then he came to al-Muzdalifah between the two prayers, then he stood in al-Muzdalifah and he stood at Quzah, with al-Fadl bin Abbas riding behind him, and he said: “This is the place of standing and all of Muzdalifah is a place of standing.” Then he moved on at an unhurried pace and the people started rushing right and left. He turned to them and said: "Calmly, calmly, O people.” He came to Muhassir and struck his mount, and it trotted until he left (the valley) then he resumed his original pace until he (came and) stoned the Jamrah. Then he went to the place of sacrifice and said: "This is the place of sacrifice and all of Mina is a place of sacrifice.” Then a young woman from Khath"am came and said: My father is an old man and has become senile; he has lived until Allah made Hajj obligatory, but he cannot do it. Will it be acceptable if i perform Hajj on his behalf? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Yes”. And he started turning the face of al-Fadl bin al-"Abbas away from her. Then a man came to him and said: I stoned the jamrah and did tawafal-ifadah and put on my ordinary clothes, but I did not shave my head. He said: "No problem, go ahead and shave your head.” Then another man came to him and said: I stoned the Jamrah and shaved my head and put on my ordinary clothes, but I did not offer the sacrifice. He said: “No problem, go ahead and offer the sacrifice.” Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did tawafal-ifadah, then he called for a bucket of Zamzam water and drank from it and did wudoo’. Then he said: “Draw water, O Banu "Abdul-Muttalib, Were it not that you would be overwhelmed, I would have drawn water myself.” Al-"Abbas said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why did I see you turning your cousin"s face away? He said: "I saw a young man and a young woman and I feared that the Shaitan might tempt them.”

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited ruqyah for a sick person, said: “Remove the hardship and suffering. Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer and there is no healing except Your healing; (grant) healing which does not leave any sickness behind."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If I were to appoint anyone to a position of authority without consulting the believers, I would have appointed Ibn Umm "Abd (Abdullah bin Mas"ood)."

Whilst we were in Mina, I saw "Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “These days are for eating and drinking, so no one should fast these days.” And he went around to the people on his camel, shouting that,

“Whoever tells a lie about his dream will be commanded to tie a grain of barley on the Day of Resurrection."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray the two rak"ahs of Fajr when the iqamah was given.

"Ali said: There was a time before dawn when I would ask to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). If he was praying, he would say Subhan Allah to me, and that was my permission to enter; if he was not praying, he would give me permission to enter.

I heard ‘Ali say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me when Fatimah and I were sleeping, and that was at the time before dawn. He stood at the door and said, “Why don"t you get up and pray?" I answered him: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), our souls are in the hand of Allah and if He wills. He will wake us up. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went back and did not say anything else (to me), but I heard him, as he was leaving strike his hand against his thigh and say: “But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything" [al-Kahf 18:54].
