12. Ḥajj and ʿUmrah

١٢۔ كِتَابُ الْحَجِّ

12.401 [Machine] Reason for the Revelation of Allah's saying, "And righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous." [Al-Baqarah: 177]

١٢۔٤٠١ بَابُ سَبَبِ نُزُولِ قَوْلِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى وَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا} [البقرة: 189]

I heard Al-Bara' saying, "The above Verse was revealed regarding us, for the Ansar on returning from Hajj never entered their houses through the proper doors but from behind. One of the Ansar came and entered through the door and he was taunted for it. Therefore, the following was revealed: -- "It is not righteousness That you enter the houses from the back, But the righteous man is He who fears Allah, Obeys His order and keeps away from What He has forbidden So, enter houses through the proper doors." (2.189) (Using translation from Bukhārī 1803)   

البيهقي:١٠٣٧٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبِسْطَامِيُّ الْأَدِيبُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا شُعْبَةُ أنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ كَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِذَا حَجُّوا فَجَاءُوا لَا يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِهِمْ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَخَلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ بَابِهِ فَكَأَنَّهُ عُيِّرَ بِذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى وَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا} [البقرة 189]  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ
