Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn reported,

We came to visit Jabir bin Abdullah, and he asked about each of us in turn until he reached me. I said, "I am Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn." He extended his hand toward my head and undid my upper button, then my lower button, and placed his palm between my chest. I was a young lad at that time. He said, "Welcome, my nephew. Ask whatever you wish."So I questioned him. He was blind by then. The time for prayer arrived, so he stood up wrapped in a woven garment. Whenever he placed it on his shoulder, its two ends would slip back because it was too small, while his proper cloak lay beside him on a clothes rack. He led us in prayer.Then I said, "Tell me about the pilgrimage of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."He gestured with his hand and held up nine fingers, then said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained for nine years without performing Hajj. Then in the tenth year it was announced to the people that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would perform Hajj. A great many people came to Medina, all of them seeking to follow the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to do as he did.We set out with him until we reached Dhul-Hulayfa, where Asma bint Umays gave birth to Muhammad bin Abu Bakr. She sent word to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking, 'What should I do?'He replied, 'Bathe, fasten a cloth tightly around yourself, and enter the state of ihram.'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prayed in the mosque and mounted Qaswa, his she-camel. When she rose with him onto the open plain of Bayda, I looked ahead as far as my eye could see and there were riders and walkers, the same to his right, the same to his left, and the same behind him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in our midst, and the Quran was being revealed to him. He knew its interpretation, and whatever he did, we did the same.He proclaimed the talbiyah of pure monotheism, 'Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayk la sharika laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-nimata laka wal-mulk, la sharika lak.' The people called out the same talbiyah that they were used to calling, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not reject any of it. He kept reciting his own talbiyah."Jabir said, "We did not intend anything except Hajj. We were unaware of umrah at that point. When we reached the House with him, he touched the Black Stone, then walked briskly for three circuits and walked normally for four. Then he went forward to the station of Ibrahim and recited, 'And take from the station of Ibrahim a place of prayer' [Baqarah 2:125]. He positioned the station between himself and the Kaaba.My father used to say, and I do not know him to have mentioned it from anyone except the Prophet ﷺ, that he would recite in those two units of prayer, 'Say, He is Allah, One,' and 'Say, O you who disbelieve.'Then he returned to the Black Stone and touched it, then went out through the gate to Safa. When he drew near Safa, he recited, 'Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah' [Baqarah 2:158], saying, 'I begin with what Allah began with.' So he began with Safa, climbing it until he could see the House. Facing the qibla, he declared the oneness of Allah and magnified Him, saying, 'There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things. There is no god but Allah alone. He has fulfilled His promise, aided His servant, and defeated the confederates by Himself alone.' Then he made supplication between these declarations. He said this three times.Then he descended toward Marwa. When his feet touched the bottom of the valley, he ran, and when they began the ascent, he walked, until he came to Marwa. On Marwa he did as he had done on Safa.When he reached the end of his sai at Marwa, he said, 'Had I known beforehand what I know now, I would not have brought the sacrificial animals, and I would have made it an umrah. So whoever among you has not brought a sacrificial animal should release himself from ihram and make this an umrah.'Suraqa bin Malik bin Jusham stood up and asked, 'Messenger of Allah, is this for this year of ours only, or forever?'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ interlocked his fingers and said, 'Umrah has entered into Hajj,' twice. 'No, rather forever and ever.'Ali came from Yemen with the Prophet's ﷺ sacrificial animals and found Fatimah among those who had released themselves from ihram. She had put on dyed clothing and applied kohl. He disapproved of this from her, but she said, 'My father instructed me to do this.'"Jabir said, "Ali used to say in Iraq, 'I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ complaining about Fatimah for what she had done, asking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what she had reported from him. I told him that I had disapproved of her actions.'He replied, 'She spoke the truth, she spoke the truth. What did you say when you took on the Hajj?'I said, 'I said, O Allah, I enter ihram with the same intention as Your Messenger.'He said, 'I have brought the sacrificial animals, so do not release yourself from ihram.'"Jabir said, "The total number of sacrificial animals brought by Ali from Yemen and those brought by the Prophet ﷺ was one hundred. All the people released themselves from ihram and shortened their hair, except the Prophet ﷺ and those who had brought sacrificial animals.When the day of Tarwiyah arrived, they set out for Mina and entered ihram for Hajj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted his ride and prayed Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr there. Then he waited a little until the sun rose and ordered that a tent of hair be pitched for him at Namira.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out, and Quraysh did not doubt that he would stop at al-Mashar al-Haram, as Quraysh used to do during the days of ignorance. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued past it until he reached Arafa, where he found that the tent had been pitched for him at Namira. He stopped there.When the sun began to decline, he ordered that Qaswa be prepared for him, and she was saddled. He came to the bottom of the valley and addressed the people, saying, 'Your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Behold, every matter of the days of ignorance is under my feet, abolished. The blood-feuds of the days of ignorance are abolished, and the first blood-claim of ours that I abolish is the blood of Ibn Rabia bin Harith, who was being nursed among Banu Saad and was killed by Huzayl. The usury of the days of ignorance is abolished, and the first usury I abolish is our usury, that of Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib. It is all abolished.Fear Allah concerning women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allah and made their private parts lawful for you by the word of Allah. You have the right that they not allow anyone you dislike onto your beds. If they do so, then strike them with a strike that is not severe. They have the right to their food and clothing from you in a fair manner.I have left among you that which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray, the Book of Allah. You will be asked about me, so what will you say?'They said, 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the message, fulfilled your duty, and given sincere counsel.'He raised his index finger to the sky and pointed it down toward the people, saying, 'O Allah, bear witness. O Allah, bear witness. O Allah, bear witness,' three times.Then the call to prayer was made, and the iqamah, and he prayed Zuhr. Then the iqamah was made again, and he prayed Asr. He did not pray anything between them.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted his ride and came to the standing place. He turned the belly of his she-camel Qaswa toward the rocks and placed the path of the walkers in front of him, facing the qibla. He continued standing until the sun set and the yellow light faded slightly, until the disk had completely disappeared. He had Usama mount behind him.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded, having tightened Qaswa's reins so that her head touched the saddle's pommel. He gestured with his right hand, saying, 'O people, calmness, calmness.' Whenever he came to a sand hill, he loosened her reins a little so she could ascend. He came to Muzdalifa and prayed Maghrib and Isha there with one adhan and two iqamahs, with no voluntary prayer between them.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lay down until dawn appeared, and he prayed Fajr when the morning light became clear, with one adhan and one iqamah. Then he mounted Qaswa and came to al-Mashar al-Haram. He faced the qibla and supplicated to Him, magnified Him, declared His greatness, and affirmed His oneness. He continued standing until it became very bright, then he proceeded before sunrise.He took Fadl bin Abbas behind him on his mount. Fadl was a man with beautiful hair, white-skinned, and handsome. As the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was proceeding, some women passed by him on howdahs being driven along, and Fadl began looking at them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on Fadl's face. Fadl turned his face to the other side to look, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved his hand to the other side onto Fadl's face, turning his face away from the other direction so he would not look.When he reached the valley of Muhassir, he urged his ride a little. Then he took the middle path that leads out to the great Jamra, until he came to the Jamra at the tree. He threw seven pebbles at it, declaring takbir with each pebble, pebbles the size of bean-shooting stones. He threw from the bottom of the valley.Then he went to the place of sacrifice and slaughtered sixty-three camels with his own hand. Then he gave the rest to Ali, who slaughtered the remainder, and he made Ali a partner in his sacrifice. Then he ordered that a piece from each camel be taken and placed in a pot, which was cooked. They both ate from its meat and drank from its broth.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode and went down to the House and prayed Zuhr in Mecca. He came to Banu Abdul-Muttalib, who were drawing water at Zamzam, and said, 'Draw water, Banu Abdul-Muttalib. Were it not that people would overwhelm you in this duty of providing water, I would have drawn with you.' They handed him a bucket and he drank from it."

حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة وإسحق بن إبراهيم جميعا عن حاتم قال أبو بكر حدثنا حاتم بن إسمعيل المدني

عن جعفر بن محمد عن أبيه قال

دخلنا على جابر بن عبد الله فسأل عن القوم حتى انتهى إلي فقلت أنا محمد بن علي بن حسين فأهوى بيده إلى رأسي فنزع زري الأعلى ثم نزع زري الأسفل ثم وضع كفه بين ثديي وأنا يومئذ غلام شاب فقال مرحبا بك يا ابن أخي سل عما شئت فسألته وهو أعمى وحضر وقت الصلاة فقام في نساجة ملتحفا بها كلما وضعها على منكبه رجع طرفاها إليه من صغرها ورداؤه إلى جنبه على المشجب فصلى بنا فقلت أخبرني عن حجة رسول الله ﷺ فقال بيده فعقد تسعا فقال إن رسول الله ﷺ مكث تسع سنين لم يحج ثم أذن في الناس في العاشرة أن رسول الله ﷺ حاج فقدم المدينة بشر كثير كلهم يلتمس أن يأتم برسول الله ﷺ ويعمل مثل عمله فخرجنا معه حتى أتينا ذا الحليفة فولدت أسماء بنت عميس محمد بن أبي بكر فأرسلت إلى رسول الله ﷺ كيف أصنع قال اغتسلي واستثفري بثوب وأحرمي فصلى رسول الله ﷺ في المسجد ثم ركب القصواء حتى إذا استوت به ناقته على البيداء نظرت إلى مد بصري بين يديه من راكب وماش وعن يمينه مثل ذلك وعن يساره مثل ذلك ومن خلفه مثل ذلك ورسول الله ﷺ بين أظهرنا وعليه ينزل القرآن وهو يعرف تأويله وما عمل به من شيء عملنا به فأهل بالتوحيد لبيك اللهم لبيك لبيك لا شريك لك لبيك إن الحمد والنعمة لك والملك لا شريك لك وأهل الناس بهذا الذي يهلون به فلم يرد رسول الله ﷺ عليهم شيئا منه ولزم رسول الله ﷺ تلبيته قال جابر رضي الله عنه لسنا ننوي إلا الحج لسنا نعرف العمرة حتى إذا أتينا البيت معه استلم الركن فرمل ثلاثا ومشى أربعا ثم نفذ إلى مقام إبراهيم عليه السلام فقرأ {واتخذوا من مقام إبراهيم مصلى} فجعل المقام بينه وبين البيت فكان أبي يقول ولا أعلمه ذكره إلا عن النبي ﷺ كان يقرأ في الركعتين قل هو الله أحد وقل يا أيها الكافرون ثم رجع إلى الركن فاستلمه ثم خرج من الباب إلى الصفا فلما دنا من الصفا قرأ {إن الصفا والمروة من شعائر الله} أبدأ بما بدأ الله به فبدأ بالصفا فرقي عليه حتى رأى البيت فاستقبل القبلة فوحد الله وكبره وقال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير لا إله إلا الله وحده أنجز وعده ونصر عبده وهزم الأحزاب وحده ثم دعا بين ذلك قال مثل هذا ثلاث مرات ثم نزل إلى المروة حتى إذا انصبت قدماه في بطن الوادي سعى حتى إذا صعدتا مشى حتى أتى المروة ففعل على المروة كما فعل على الصفا حتى إذا كان آخر طوافه على المروة فقال لو أني استقبلت من أمري ما استدبرت لم أسق الهدي وجعلتها عمرة فمن كان منكم ليس معه هدي فليحل وليجعلها عمرة فقام سراقة بن مالك بن جعشم فقال يا رسول الله ألعامنا هذا أم لأبد فشبك رسول الله ﷺ أصابعه واحدة في الأخرى وقال دخلت العمرة في الحج مرتين لا بل لأبد أبد وقدم علي من اليمن ببدن النبي ﷺ فوجد فاطمة رضي الله عنها ممن حل ولبست ثيابا صبيغا واكتحلت فأنكر ذلك عليها فقالت إن أبي أمرني بهذا قال فكان علي يقول بالعراق فذهبت إلى رسول الله ﷺ محرشا على فاطمة للذي صنعت مستفتيا لرسول الله ﷺ فيما ذكرت عنه فأخبرته أني أنكرت ذلك عليها فقال صدقت صدقت ماذا قلت حين فرضت الحج قال قلت اللهم إني أهل بما أهل به رسولك قال فإن معي الهدي فلا تحل قال فكان جماعة الهدي الذي قدم به علي من اليمن والذي أتى به النبي ﷺ مائة قال فحل الناس كلهم وقصروا إلا النبي ﷺ ومن كان معه هدي فلما كان يوم التروية توجهوا إلى منى فأهلوا بالحج وركب رسول الله ﷺ فصلى بها الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء والفجر ثم مكث قليلا حتى طلعت الشمس وأمر بقبة من شعر تضرب له بنمرة فسار رسول الله ﷺ ولا تشك قريش إلا أنه واقف عند المشعر الحرام كما كانت قريش تصنع في الجاهلية فأجاز رسول الله ﷺ حتى أتى عرفة فوجد القبة قد ضربت له بنمرة فنزل بها حتى إذا زاغت الشمس أمر بالقصواء فرحلت له فأتى بطن الوادي فخطب الناس وقال إن دماءكم وأموالكم حرام عليكم كحرمة يومكم هذا في شهركم هذا في بلدكم هذا ألا كل شيء من أمر الجاهلية تحت قدمي موضوع ودماء الجاهلية موضوعة وإن أول دم أضع من دمائنا دم ابن ربيعة بن الحارث كان مسترضعا في بني سعد فقتلته هذيل وربا الجاهلية موضوع وأول ربا أضع ربانا ربا عباس بن عبد المطلب فإنه موضوع كله فاتقوا الله في النساء فإنكم أخذتموهن بأمان الله واستحللتم فروجهن بكلمة الله ولكم عليهن أن لا يوطئن فرشكم أحدا تكرهونه فإن فعلن ذلك فاضربوهن ضربا غير مبرح ولهن عليكم رزقهن وكسوتهن بالمعروف وقد تركت فيكم ما لن تضلوا بعده إن اعتصمتم به كتاب الله وأنتم تسألون عني فما أنتم قائلون قالوا نشهد أنك قد بلغت وأديت ونصحت فقال بإصبعه السبابة يرفعها إلى السماء وينكتها إلى الناس اللهم اشهد اللهم اشهد ثلاث مرات ثم أذن ثم أقام فصلى الظهر ثم أقام فصلى العصر ولم يصل بينهما شيئا ثم ركب رسول الله ﷺ حتى أتى الموقف فجعل بطن ناقته القصواء إلى الصخرات وجعل حبل المشاة بين يديه واستقبل القبلة فلم يزل واقفا حتى غربت الشمس وذهبت الصفرة قليلا حتى غاب القرص وأردف أسامة خلفه ودفع رسول الله ﷺ وقد شنق للقصواء الزمام حتى إن رأسها ليصيب مورك رحله ويقول بيده اليمنى أيها الناس السكينة السكينة كلما أتى حبلا من الحبال أرخى لها قليلا حتى تصعد حتى أتى المزدلفة فصلى بها المغرب والعشاء بأذان واحد وإقامتين ولم يسبح بينهما شيئا ثم اضطجع رسول الله ﷺ حتى طلع الفجر وصلى الفجر حين تبين له الصبح بأذان وإقامة ثم ركب القصواء حتى أتى المشعر الحرام فاستقبل القبلة فدعاه وكبره وهلله ووحده فلم يزل واقفا حتى أسفر جدا فدفع قبل أن تطلع الشمس وأردف الفضل بن عباس وكان رجلا حسن الشعر أبيض وسيما فلما دفع رسول الله ﷺ مرت به ظعن يجرين فطفق الفضل ينظر إليهن فوضع رسول الله ﷺ يده على وجه الفضل فحول الفضل وجهه إلى الشق الآخر ينظر فحول رسول الله ﷺ يده من الشق الآخر على وجه الفضل يصرف وجهه من الشق الآخر ينظر حتى أتى بطن محسر فحرك قليلا ثم سلك الطريق الوسطى التي تخرج على الجمرة الكبرى حتى أتى الجمرة التي عند الشجرة فرماها بسبع حصيات يكبر مع كل حصاة منها مثل حصى الخذف رمى من بطن الوادي ثم انصرف إلى المنحر فنحر ثلاثا وستين بيده ثم أعطى عليا فنحر ما غبر وأشركه في هديه ثم أمر من كل بدنة ببضعة فجعلت في قدر فطبخت فأكلا من لحمها وشربا من مرقها ثم ركب رسول الله ﷺ فأفاض إلى البيت فصلى بمكة الظهر فأتى بني عبد المطلب يسقون على زمزم فقال انزعوا بني عبد المطلب فلولا أن يغلبكم الناس على سقايتكم لنزعت معكم فناولوه دلوا فشرب منه
