11. Rituals (Ḥajj and ʿUmrah)
١١۔ كتاب المناسك
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Mecca, I said (to myself): I shall put on my clothes, and my house lay on the way, I shall watch how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ behaves. So I went out. I saw that the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions had come out from the Ka'bah and embraced the House (the Ka'bah) from its entrance (al-Bab) to al-Hatim. They placed their cheek on the House (the Ka'bah) while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was amongst them.
لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قُلْتُ لأَلْبَسَنَّ ثِيَابِي وَكَانَتْ دَارِي عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَلأَنْظُرَنَّ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَقَدِ اسْتَلَمُوا الْبَيْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ إِلَى الْحَطِيمِ وَقَدْ وَضَعُوا خُدُودَهُمْ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسْطَهُمْ
I went round the Ka'bah along with Abdullah ibn Amr. When we came behind the Ka'bah I asked: Do you not seek refuge? He uttered the words: I seek refuge in Allah from the Hell-fire. He then went (farther) and touched the Black Stone, and stood between the corner (Black Stone) and the entrance of the Ka'bah. He then placed his breast, his face, his hands and his palms in this manner, and he spread them, and said: I saw the apostle of Allah ﷺ doing like this.
طُفْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا دُبَرَ الْكَعْبَةِ قُلْتُ أَلاَ تَتَعَوَّذُ قَالَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ وَأَقَامَ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْبَابِ فَوَضَعَ صَدْرَهُ وَوَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَكَفَّيْهِ هَكَذَا وَبَسَطَهُمَا بَسْطًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُ
Has it been reported to you that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray in this place. He would reply: Yes. He then used to stand (there) and pray.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي هَا هُنَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي
