15. Ḥajj (Major Pilgrimage)
١٥۔ كتاب الحج
Did you intend to perform Hajj? She said: By Allah, (I intend to do so) but I often remain ill, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said to her: Perform Hajj but with condition, and say: O Allah, I shall be free from Ihram where you detain me. And she (Dubaʿa) was the wife of Miqdad.
دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَرَدْتِ الْحَجَّ قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُنِي إِلاَّ وَجِعَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا حُجِّي وَاشْتَرِطِي وَقُولِي اللَّهُمَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ الْمِقْدَادِ
Messenger of Allah, I intend to perform Hajj, but I am ill. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Enter Into the state of Ihram on condition that you would abandon it when Allah would detain you.
دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ وَأَنَا شَاكِيَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حُجِّي وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي
This hadith has been reported on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters.
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ مِثْلَهُ
I am an ailing woman but I intend to perform Hajj; what you command me (to do)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Enter into the state of Ihram (uttering these words) of condition: I would be free from it when Thou wouldst detain me. 'He (the narrator) said: But she was able to complete (the Hajj without breaking down).
أَنَّ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتَ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ أَهِلِّي بِالْحَجِّ وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي قَالَ فَأَدْرَكَتْ
Ibn ʿAbbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Dubaʿa intended to perform Hajj, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded her (to enter into the state of Ihram) with condition. She did it in compliance with the command of Allah's Apostle ﷺ.
أَنَّ ضُبَاعَةَ أَرَادَتِ الْحَجَّ فَأَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تَشْتَرِطَ فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas with a slight variation of words.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِضُبَاعَةَ ؓ حُجِّي وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْحَاقَ أَمَرَ ضُبَاعَةَ
