Home Hadith Hadith 4206
A woman from the tribe of Khath'am asked for the verdict of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (regarding something)
during Hajjat-ul-Wada` while Al-Fadl bin `Abbas was the companion-rider behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
She asked, "Allah's ordained obligation (i.e. compulsory Hajj) enjoined on His slaves has become due
on my old father who cannot sit firmly on the riding animal. Will it be sufficient if I perform the Hajj
on his behalf?" He said, "Yes."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 422

Hajjat-ul-Wada`. On that, I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) "What stops you from finishing your lhram?" He said,
"I have matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram unless I have
slaughtered my Hadi."

The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived (at Mecca) in the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) while Usama was riding
behind him on (his she-camel)'. Al-Qaswa.' Bilal and `Uthman bin Talha were accompanying him.
When he made his she-camel kneel down near the Ka`ba, he said to `Uthman, "Get us the key (of the
Ka`ba). He brought the key to him and opened the gate (of the Ka`ba), for him. The Prophet, Usama,
Bilal and `Uthman (bin Talha) entered the Ka`ba and then closed the gate behind them (from inside).
The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed there for a long period and then came out. The people rushed to get in, but I went
in before them and found Bilal standing behind the gate, and I said to him, "Where did the Prophet (ﷺ)
pray?" He said, "He prayed between those two front pillars." The Ka`ba was built on six pillars,
arranged in two rows, and he prayed between the two pillars of the front row leaving the gate of the
Ka`ba at his back and facing (in prayer) the wall which faces one when one enters the Ka`ba. Between
him and that wall (was the distance of about three cubits). But I forgot to ask Bilal about the number
of rak`at the Prophet (ﷺ) had prayed. There was a red piece of marble at the place where he (i.e. the
Prophet) had offered the prayer.
