A man who wants to perform the Hajj (from Mecca) can perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba as long
as he is not in the state of Ihram till he assumes the Ihram for Hajj. Then, if he rides and proceeds to
`Arafat, he should take a Hadi (i.e. animal for sacrifice), either a camel or a cow or a sheep, whatever
he can afford; but if he cannot afford it, he should fast for three days during the Hajj before the day of
`Arafat, but if the third day of his fasting happens to be the day of `Arafat (i.e. 9th of Dhul-Hijja) then
it is no sin for him (to fast on it). Then he should proceed to `Arafat and stay there from the time of the
`Asr prayer till darkness falls. Then the pilgrims should proceed from `Arafat, and when they have
departed from it, they reach Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) where they ask Allah to help them to be
righteous and dutiful to Him, and there they remember Allah greatly or say Takbir (i.e. Allah is
Greater) and Tahlil (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah) repeatedly before dawn
breaks. Then, after offering the morning (Fajr) prayer you should pass on (to Mina) for the people
used to do so and Allah said:--
"Then depart from the place whence all the people depart. And ask for Allah's Forgiveness. Truly!
Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (2.199) Then you should go on doing so till you throw
pebbles over the Jamra.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 46
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The people will establish cities, Anas, and one of them will be called al-Basrah or al-Busayrah. If you should pass by it or enter it, avoid its salt-marshes, its Kall, its market, and the gate of its commanders, and keep to its environs, for the earth will swallow some people up, pelting rain will fall and earthquakes will take place in it, and there will be people who will spend the night in it and become apes and swine in the morning.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 39, Hadith 17
“You
have kinship and rights, and I see you entering upon these rulers and
speaking to them as Allah wills you should speak. But i heard Bilal
bin Harith Al-Muzani, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ),
say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘One of you may speak a
word that pleases Allah, and not know how far it reaches, but Allah
will record for him as pleasure, until the Day of Resurrection due to
that word. And one of you may speak a word that angers Allah, and not
know how far it reaches, but Allah will record against him his anger,
until the Day he meets Him due to that word.”
'Alqamah said: "So look, woe to you, at what you say and what you speak about, for there is something that I wanted to say but I refrained because of what I heard from Bilal bin Harith."
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 44
A man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about "Al-Luqata" (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by
somebody). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and
recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then
you should pay him its equivalent." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost sheep?" The
Prophet said, "Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became very angry and furious and his
cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, "You have nothing to do with it (the camel)
for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner."
