Home Hadith Hadith 1471
The people of Yemen used to come for Hajj and used not to bring enough provisions with them and
used to say that they depend on Allah. On their arrival in Medina they used to beg the people, and so
Allah revealed, "And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is the fear of
Allah." (2.197).

← Previous Hadith
I went to visit `Abdullah bin `Umar at his house which contained many tents made of cotton cloth and
these were encircled with Suradik (part of the tent). I asked him from where, should one assume Ihram
for Umra. He said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had fixed as Miqat (singular of Mawaqit) Qarn for the people of
Najd, Dhul-Hulaifa for the people of Medina, and Al-Juhfa for the people of Sham."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) made Dhul-Huiaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina; Al-Juhfa for the
people of Sham; Qarn-al-Manazil for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen; and
these Mawaqit are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come thorough
those places with the intention of performing Hajj and `Umra; and whoever is living within these
boundaries can assume lhram from the place he starts, and the people of Mecca can assume Ihram
from Mecca.
