5. Book of Rites
٥۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاسِكِ
[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic sentence into English is:
"Umar is better than me, and the Prophet ﷺ did that while he is better than Umar."
عُمَرُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي «وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ»
[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was throwing pebbles at the pillars during the Hajj. He asked me, "Have you performed Hajj?" I replied, "Yes." He then asked, "How did you perform the ritual of Ihram?" I said, "I made the intention of Ihram at the same time as the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did." He said, "You have done well. Now go and perform Tawaf around the Kaaba, then go to Safa and Marwa, and then come out of the state of Ihram." He said, "I performed Tawaf around the Kaaba, went to Safa and Marwa, and then I went to visit a woman from the Banu Qays tribe. She began to touch my hair, and I started giving religious rulings to people based on this interaction. A man said to me, 'O Abdullah bin Qays, take it easy and be cautious with some of your rulings, for you do not know what instructions the Commander of the Believers has brought regarding the rituals after you.' So, I said, 'O people, whoever we have given a religious ruling, let them be cautious, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you with instructions. Therefore, complete your rituals.' When he arrived, I went to him and mentioned what happened. He said, 'If we follow the Book of Allah, then the Book of Allah instructs us to complete the rituals. If we follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not exit the state of Ihram until the sacrificial animal reached its designated place.'"
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ حَجَّ وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ لِي «أَحَجَجْتَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِإِهْلَالٍ كَإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَحْسَنْتَ اذْهَبْ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ حِلَّ» قَالَ فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ بَنِي قَيْسٍ فَجَعَلَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسِي فَجَعَلْتُ أُفْتِي النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ رُوَيْدًا بَعْضَ فُتْيَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي النُّسُكِ بَعْدَكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كُنَّا أَفْتَيْنَاهُ فُتْيَا فَلْيَتَّئِدْ فَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَادِمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فَبِهِ فَأْتَمُّوا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَتَيْتُهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُ بِالتَّمَامِ وَإِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ»
