8. Ḥajj and ʿUmrah Rites
٨۔ كِتَابُ المناسك
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The city will not be entered by the plague and the false messiah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْمَدِينَةُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا الطَّاعُونُ وَلَا الدَّجَّالُ»
There will be no land which would not be covered by the Dajjal but Mecca and Medina, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Dajjal) would appear in a barren place adjacent to Medina and it would rock three times that every unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him. (Using translation from Muslim 2943a)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ بَلَدٌ إِلَّا سَيَطَؤُهُ الدَّجَّالُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ وَمَكَّةَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ أَنْقَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ صَافِّينَ يَحْرُسُونَهَا فَيَنْزِلُ السَّبَخَةَ فَتَرْجُفُ الْمَدِينَةُ ثَلَاثَ رَجَفَاتٍ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهَا كُلُّ مُنَافِقٍ وَكَافِرٍ»
He would come but would not be allowed to enter the mountain passes to Medina. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near Medina, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you are Dajjal about whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ had informed us. The Dajjal would say: What is your opinion if I kill this (person), then I bring him back to life; even then will you harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill (the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring that person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the fact (that you are a Dajjal) than at the present time (that you are actually so). The Dajjal would then make an attempt to kill him (again) but he would not be able to do that. Abu Ishaq reported that it was said: That person would be Khadir (Allah be pleased with him). (Using translation from Muslim 2938a)
حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا طَوِيلًا عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ قَالَ فَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ يَأْتِي وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِقَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَنْتَهِي إِلَى بَعْضِ السِّبَاخِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْمَدِينَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَعْنِي رَجُلًا هُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَوْ مِنْ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الدَّجَّالُ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثَهُ فَيَقُولُ الدَّجَّالُ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ قَتَلْتُ هَذَا وَأَحْيَيْتُهُ أَتَشُكُّونَ فِي الْأَمْرِ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا قَالَ فَيَقْتُلُهُ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيهِ فَيَقُولُ حِينَ يُحْيِيهِ وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ فِيكَ قَطُّ أَشَدَّ بَصِيرَةً مِنِّي الْآنَ فَيُرِيدُ الدَّجَّالُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ فَلَا يُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "O Allah, indeed Ibrahim made Makkah sacred and declared it as a sanctuary. And I have made Al-Madinah sacred within its boundaries, that no bloodshed should occur within it, no weapons be carried for fighting, and no trees be cut except for fodder. O Allah, bless our city, O Allah, bless our Sa' and Mud. O Allah, bless our Medina, O Allah, bless our Sa' and Mud. O Allah, bless our city, O Allah, bless our Sa' and Mud. O Allah, bless our Medina, O Allah, bless our Sa' and Mud. O Allah, make my two blessings accompany Your blessing, and by the One in whose hand is my soul, there is no valley or mountain range in Al-Madinah except that it has two angels that guard it."
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَلَهَا حَرَمًا وَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ حَرَامًا مَا بَيْنَ مَأْزِمَيْهَا أَنْ لَا يُهْرَاقَ فِيهَا دَمٌ وَلَا يُحْمَلُ فِيهَا سِلَاحٌ لِقِتَالٍ وَلَا تُخْبَطُ فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ إِلَّا لِعَلْفٍ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَعَ الْبَرَكَةِ بَرَكَتَيْنِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ شِعْبٍ وَلَا نَقْبٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ مَلَكَانِ يَحْرُسَانِهَا»
It was said to ‘Ali ؓ : “Did your Messenger say anything to you only that was not for the people in general?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not say anything to us only that he did not say to the people, except something in the sheath of this sword of mine. He took out a document on which there was something about the ages of camels [for zakah] and in it was said: ʿMadinah is sacred, the area between Thawr and ‘A’ir. Whoever commits an offence or gives refuge to an offender, upon him will be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not accept any nafl or obligatory act of worship from him. Protection given by any Muslim is binding upon all of them. Whoever transgresses protection given by a Muslim, upon him be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not accept any nafl or obligatory act of worship from him. Whoever takes people as mawla without the permission of the ones who set him free, upon him be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not accept any nafl or obligatory act of worship from him.ʿ The word mawla refers to the one who manumits a slave, who has a right to inherit ex-slave. Changing one’s mawla means giving the right of inheritance to the new mawla. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1298)
قِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَصَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ عَامَّةً قَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَخُصَّ النَّاسَ لَيْسَ شَيْئًا فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي هَذَا فَأَخَذَ صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَسْنَانِ الْإِبِلِ وَفِيهَا «إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ ثَوْرٍ إِلَى عِيرٍ فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ»
We have nothing except the Book of Allah, may He be exalted, and this document from the Prophet ﷺ. Madinah is a sanctuary from ʿAʿir to Thawr; whoever commits an offence in it or gives refuge to an offender, may the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people be upon him and no obligatory or nafl act of worship will be accepted from him.ʿ And he said: ʿProtection given by any Muslim is binding upon all of them. Whoever transgresses protection given by a Muslim, upon him be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and Allah will not accept from him any nafl or obligatory act of worship. Whoever takes people as mawla without the permission of the ones who set him free, upon him be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and Allah will not accept from him any nafl or obligatory act of worship.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1037)
مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا كِتَابُ اللهِ وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ عِيرٍ إِلَى ثَوْرٍ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ ذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ وَمَنْ وَلَّى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ»
