Sauda (the wife of the Holy Prophet) who was bulky sought the permission of Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of Muzdalifa to move from (that place) ahead of him and before the multitude (set forth). He (Allah's Apostle) gave her the permission. So she set forth before his (Holy Prophet's) departure. But we stayed there until it was dawn and we moved on, when he departed. And if I were to seek the permission of Messenger of Allah. ﷺ as Sauda had sought permission, I could have also gone with his permission and it would have been better for me than that for which I was happy.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ سَوْدَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ تَدْفَعُ قَبْلَهُ وَقَبْلَ حَطْمَةِ النَّاسِ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً ثَبِطَةً يَقُولُ الْقَاسِمُ وَالثَّبِطَةُ الثَّقِيلَةُ قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَخَرَجَتْ قَبْلَ دَفْعِهِ وَحَبَسَنَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحْنَا فَدَفَعْنَا بِدَفْعِهِ وَلأَنْ أَكُونَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ سَوْدَةُ فَأَكُونَ أَدْفَعُ بِإِذْنِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ مَفْرُوحٍ بِهِ  

I wish I had also sought permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Sauda had. sought permission from him. 'A'isha did not proceed but with the Imam.  

كَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ امْرَأَةً ضَخْمَةً ثَبِطَةً فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُفِيضَ مِنْ جَمْعٍ بِلَيْلٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ سَوْدَةُ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ لاَ تُفِيضُ إِلاَّ مَعَ الإِمَامِ  

I wish I had sought permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Sauda had sought, and observed the dawn prayer at Mina and stoned at al-Jamra before the people had come there. It was said to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her): Did Sauda seek permission from him (the Holy Prophet)? She said: Yes. She was a bulky lady and so she sought permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ (to proceed to mina from Muzdalifa ahead of him), and he granted her permission.  

وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ سَوْدَةُ فَأُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِمِنًى فَأَرْمِي الْجَمْرَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ النَّاسُ فَقِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ إِنَّهَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً ثَقِيلَةً ثَبِطَةً فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا  

A hadith like this has been narrated by 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Qasim with the same chain of transmitters.  

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

Asma' (Allah be pleased with her), as she was in the house at Muzdalifa, asked me whether the moon had set. I said: No. She prayed for some time, and again said: My son has the moon set? I said: Yes. And she said: Set forth along with me, and so we set forth until (we reached Mini) and the stoned at al-Jamra. She then prayed in her place. I said to her: Respected lady, we set forth (in the very early part of dawn) when it was dark, whereupon she said: My son, there is no harm in it; Allah's Apostle ﷺ had granted permission to women.  

لِي أَسْمَاءُ وَهْىَ عِنْدَ دَارِ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ هَلْ غَابَ الْقَمَرُ قُلْتُ لاَ فَصَلَّتْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَىَّ هَلْ غَابَ الْقَمَرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَتِ ارْحَلْ بِي فَارْتَحَلْنَا حَتَّى رَمَتِ الْجَمْرَةَ ثُمَّ صَلَّتْ فِي مَنْزِلِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهَا أَىْ هَنْتَاهْ لَقَدْ غَلَّسْنَا قَالَتْ كَلاَّ أَىْ بُنَىَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَذِنَ لِلظُّعُنِ  

" She (Asma') said: My son, Allah's Apostle ﷺ granted permission to women."  

لاَ أَىْ بُنَىَّ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَذِنَ لِظُعُنِهِ  

Ibn Shawwal (the freed slave of Umm Habiba) reported that he went to Umm Habiba (the wife of Allah's Apostle) who informed him that Allah's Apostle ﷺ sent her from Muzdalifa during the night.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ بِهَا مِنْ جَمْعٍ بِلَيْلٍ  

We used to set forth from Muzdalifa to Mina, (very early in the dawn) when it was dark. And in the narration of Naqid (the words are):" We set from Muzdalifa in the darkness (of the dawn)."  

كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نُغَلِّسُ مِنْ جَمْعٍ إِلَى مِنًى وَفِي رِوَايَةِ النَّاقِدِ نُغَلِّسُ مِنْ مُزْدَلِفَةَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me from Muzdalifa ahead (of the caravan) along with the luggage or with the weak ones during (the latter part of the) night.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الثَّقَلِ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الضَّعَفَةِ مِنْ جَمْعٍ بِلَيْلٍ  

I was among those (i. e. women and children) whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent forth with the weak members of his family.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَنَا مِمَّنْ قَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ضَعَفَةِ أَهْلِهِ  

This hadith has been transmitted by Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) with a slight variation of words.  

كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ قَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ضَعَفَةِ أَهْلِهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me from Muzdalifa along with his luggage (in the very early part of @he dawn). I (Ibn Juraij, one of the narrators) said (to 'Ati'): Has this (news) reached you that Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) had said:" He (Messenger of Allah) had sent me in the latter part of the night"? Thereupon he said: No, it was the dawn. I (again) said to him: (Did you hear) Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) having said this (too):" We stoned al-Jamra before the dawn prayer"? So where did he observe the dawn prayer? He said: No. But he said only so much (as described above).  

بَعَثَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِسَحَرٍ مِنْ جَمْعٍ فِي ثَقَلِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ أَبَلَغَكَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ بِي بِلَيْلٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ كَذَلِكَ بِسَحَرٍ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَمَيْنَا الْجَمْرَةَ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَأَيْنَ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ كَذَلِكَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ has granted this concession to them.  

أَنْ يَدْفَعَ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقْدَمُ مِنًى لِصَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقْدَمُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا قَدِمُوا رَمَوُا الْجَمْرَةَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ أَرْخَصَ فِي أُولَئِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
