45 00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:15,180 the Qur'an was descending upon him, 46 00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:17,180 and he knew its true interpretation. 47 00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:21,180 Whatever he did, we also did. 48 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:23,210 He pronounced the Talbiyah of Tawhid: 49 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:25,210 'Labbayk Allahumma labbayk (Here I am, O Allah, here I am), 50 00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:28,210 labbayka la sharika laka labbayk (here I am, You have no partner, here I am). 51 00:02:28,210 --> 00:02:31,210 Inna al-hamda wa-n-ni'mata laka wa-l-mulk (Indeed, all praise, grace, and sovereignty belong to You), 52 00:02:31,210 --> 00:02:33,210 la sharika lak (You have no partner).' 53 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:37,240 The people also raised their voices with whatever phrases they wished to chant, 54 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,240 and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not object to any of it." 55 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,240 That is, some people recited the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,240 while others added different phrases to their Talbiyah, 57 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,240 such as the saying of some: 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,240 "Labbayka wa-sa'dayk (Here I am, at Your service and ready to obey You), 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240 wa-l-khayru kulluhu fi yadayk (and all goodness is in Your hands)," 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,240 and the saying of others: 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,240 "Labbayka haqqa haqqa (Here I am, in absolute truth), 62 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240 ta'abbudan wa-riqqa (in worship and servitude)." 63 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,240 Some pronounced the Takbir, 64 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,240 some pronounced the Tahmid, 65 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,240 some pronounced the Tahlil, 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240 and so on. 67 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,240 He said: 68 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,240 "Yet the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) adhered strictly to his own Talbiyah." 69 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,300 Jabir said: 70 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,300 "We intended nothing but Hajj; 71 00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:23,300 we were not thinking of 'Umrah," 72 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:25,300 meaning combined with Hajj. 73 00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,300 "Until, when we arrived at the House with him, 74 00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,300 he touched the Corner, 75 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,300 then walked briskly (ramal) for three circuits and walked normally for four. 76 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,300 Then he proceeded to the Station of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), 77 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,300 and recited: 78 00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:42,300 “And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).” (2:125) 79 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,300 He placed the Station between himself and the House. 80 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:47,300 My father used to say— 81 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:53,300 and I know he only narrated it from the Prophet (peace be upon him)— 82 00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,300 that he used to recite in those two rak'ahs: 83 00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,300 “Say: He is Allah, the One!” (112:1) 84 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,300 and 'Say, O disbelievers...' (Surah al-Kafirun). 85 00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,300 Then he returned to the Corner and touched it, 86 00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,530 after which he went out through the gate toward al-Safa. 87 00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:12,530 When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) drew near al-Safa, he recited: 88 00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:16,529 “Lo! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of Allah) or visiteth it, to go around them (as the pagan custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord, (for him) lo! Allah is Responsive, Aware.” (2:158) 89 00:04:16,529 --> 00:04:18,529 the verse, 90 00:04:18,529 --> 00:04:22,529 and then said: 'I begin with that which Allah began with.' 91 00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:24,529 So he began with al-Safa, 92 00:04:24,529 --> 00:04:27,529 ascending it until he could see the House. 93 00:04:27,529 --> 00:04:30,529 He faced the Qiblah, proclaimed the oneness of Allah, magnified Him, 94 00:04:30,529 --> 00:04:35,529 and said: 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, without partner. 95 00:04:35,529 --> 00:04:38,529 “All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things.” (64:1) 96 00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:41,529 And He is over all things competent. 97 00:04:41,529 --> 00:04:44,529 There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone; 98 00:04:44,529 --> 00:04:47,529 He fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His servant, 99 00:04:47,529 --> 00:04:50,529 and defeated the confederates alone.' 100 00:04:50,529 --> 00:04:52,529 Then he supplicated between that, 101 00:04:52,529 --> 00:04:55,529 repeating such words three times. 102 00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:57,660 Then he descended toward al-Marwah." 103 00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:01,660 Many people today have abandoned this Sunnah, 104 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:04,660 for they simply walk straight toward al-Marwah, 105 00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,660 and then return down to al-Safa, 106 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:10,660 traversing seven times between al-Safa and al-Marwah like this. 107 00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:14,660 This contradicts the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 108 00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:17,660 For the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 109 00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:22,910 is far more deserving and worthy of being followed as much as possible. 110 00:05:22,910 --> 00:05:25,910 He said: "Then he descended toward al-Marwah, 111 00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:30,910 and when his feet reached the bottom of the valley, he ran, 112 00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:33,910 and when the ground ascended, he walked, 113 00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,910 until he arrived at al-Marwah. 114 00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:38,910 He did on al-Marwah just as he had done on al-Safa, 115 00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:42,910 until, at the end of his circuits upon al-Marwah, 116 00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:43,910 he said: 117 00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:46,910 'Had I known beforehand what I know now, 118 00:05:46,910 --> 00:05:48,910 I would not have brought the sacrificial animals, 119 00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:50,910 and I would have made it an 'Umrah. 120 00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:54,910 So whoever among you does not have a sacrificial animal with him, let him exit ihram 121 00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:57,040 and make it an 'Umrah.'" 122 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,040 The Hajj is of three types: 123 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,040 Ifrad, 124 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,040 which is performing Hajj alone; 125 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040 Qiran, 126 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,040 which is combining Hajj and 'Umrah together; 127 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,040 and Tamattu', 128 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,040 which is performing 'Umrah during the months of Hajj, 129 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,040 then exiting ihram, 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,040 and subsequently entering ihram for Hajj. 131 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,040 The correct opinion among the scholars 132 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,040 is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) 133 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,040 performed Hajj as a Qarin. 134 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,040 The scholars have differed 135 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,040 over which of the pilgrimage rites is superior: 136 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,040 Ifrad, 137 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,040 Qiran, 138 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,139 or Tamattu'. 139 00:06:33,139 --> 00:06:35,139 Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah 140 00:06:35,139 --> 00:06:37,139 (may Allah have mercy on him) reconciled these views, 141 00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:39,139 stating: 142 00:06:39,139 --> 00:06:41,139 "Each of them holds merit. 143 00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:43,139 Whoever performs 'Umrah during the months of Hajj 144 00:06:43,139 --> 00:06:45,139 and then returns to his homeland, 145 00:06:45,139 --> 00:06:47,139 it is better for him to perform 146 00:06:47,139 --> 00:06:49,139 Ifrad for Hajj. 147 00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:51,139 Whoever brings a sacrificial animal, 148 00:06:51,139 --> 00:06:53,139 it is better for him to perform Hajj as a Qarin. 149 00:06:53,139 --> 00:06:55,139 And whoever does not bring a sacrificial animal, 150 00:06:55,139 --> 00:06:57,139 it is better for him to perform Hajj 151 00:06:57,139 --> 00:06:59,139 as a Mutamatti', 152 00:06:59,139 --> 00:07:01,139 just as the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded 153 00:07:01,139 --> 00:07:03,139 his Companions to do." 154 00:07:03,139 --> 00:07:05,300 Returning to the hadith 155 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,360 of Jabir: 156 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,360 Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'shum stood up 157 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,360 and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, 158 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,360 is this for this year of ours 159 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360 or forever?" 160 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,360 meaning the joining of 'Umrah with Hajj. 161 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah 162 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,360 (peace be upon him) interlaced his fingers, one 163 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,360 into the other, 164 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 and said, "'Umrah has entered 165 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,360 into Hajj"—repeating it twice— 166 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360 "No, 167 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,490 rather it is forever and ever." 168 00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:33,490 Meanwhile, 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) 169 00:07:33,490 --> 00:07:35,490 arrived from Yemen 170 00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:37,490 bringing sacrificial camels for the Prophet (peace be upon him). 171 00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:39,490 'Ali found 172 00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:41,490 Fatimah among those who had exited ihram; 173 00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:43,490 she had put on dyed 174 00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:45,490 clothes and applied kohl. 175 00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:47,490 He disapproved of her doing so, 176 00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:49,490 but she said, "My father 177 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:51,490 commanded me to do this." 178 00:07:51,490 --> 00:07:53,490 He said: Later in Iraq, 179 00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:55,490 during his caliphate, 'Ali 180 00:07:55,490 --> 00:07:57,490 used to say: 181 00:07:57,490 --> 00:07:59,490 "So I went to the Messenger of Allah 182 00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:01,490 (peace be upon him), 183 00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:03,490 inciting him against Fatimah 184 00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:05,490 regarding what she had done, 185 00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:07,490 seeking a ruling from the Messenger of Allah 186 00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:09,490 (peace be upon him) concerning what 187 00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:11,490 she had reported from him. 188 00:08:11,490 --> 00:08:13,490 I told him that I 189 00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:15,490 had disapproved of that in her behavior, 190 00:08:15,490 --> 00:08:17,490 but he said: 'She spoke the truth, 191 00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:19,490 she spoke the truth.' 192 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:21,490 He then asked, 'What did you say when 193 00:08:21,490 --> 00:08:23,490 you assumed the obligations of Hajj?' 194 00:08:23,490 --> 00:08:25,490 I said, 'I said: 195 00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:27,490 O Allah, I enter ihram for that which 196 00:08:27,490 --> 00:08:29,970 Your Messenger has entered ihram for.'" 197 00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:31,970 It is recommended for a Muslim to specify the rite 198 00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:33,970 and name it, 199 00:08:33,970 --> 00:08:35,970 though this is not considered vocalizing 200 00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:37,970 the intention (niyyah), 201 00:08:37,970 --> 00:08:39,970 because the intention resides in the heart. 202 00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:41,970 It is also permissible not to specify the rite, 203 00:08:41,970 --> 00:08:43,970 If he were waiting for 204 00:08:43,970 --> 00:08:45,970 a companion or one of the scholars, 205 00:08:45,970 --> 00:08:47,970 he would say, 206 00:08:47,970 --> 00:08:49,970 "I am here, in the same state as so-and-so." 207 00:08:49,970 --> 00:08:51,970 For ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, 208 00:08:51,970 --> 00:08:53,970 did not specify the type of ritual, 209 00:08:53,970 --> 00:08:55,970 but rather said, 210 00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:57,970 "I am here, in the same state as 211 00:08:57,970 --> 00:08:59,970 the Messenger of Allah." 212 00:08:59,970 --> 00:09:01,970 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to him, 213 00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:03,970 "I have the sacrificial animals with me, 214 00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:05,970 so do not exit the state of ihram." 215 00:09:05,970 --> 00:09:08,029 Jabir said, 216 00:09:08,029 --> 00:09:10,029 "The total number of sacrificial animals 217 00:09:10,029 --> 00:09:12,029 that ‘Ali brought 218 00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:14,029 from Yemen, and those brought by 219 00:09:14,029 --> 00:09:16,029 the Prophet, peace be upon him, 220 00:09:16,029 --> 00:09:18,029 was one hundred camels." 221 00:09:18,029 --> 00:09:20,289 The minimum Sunnah 222 00:09:20,289 --> 00:09:22,289 is for a Muslim to offer a sacrifice 223 00:09:22,289 --> 00:09:24,289 consisting of a sheep. 224 00:09:24,289 --> 00:09:26,289 If it is a camel, then this is 225 00:09:26,289 --> 00:09:28,289 better. 226 00:09:28,289 --> 00:09:30,289 And the greater the number, the better it is. 227 00:09:30,289 --> 00:09:32,580 Jabir said, 228 00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:34,580 "All the people entered the state of ihram 229 00:09:34,580 --> 00:09:36,580 and shortened their hair, 230 00:09:36,580 --> 00:09:38,580 except for the Prophet, peace be upon him, 231 00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:40,580 and those who had sacrificial animals with them." 232 00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,580 When the Day of Tarwiyah arrived, 233 00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:44,580 they headed toward Mina, 234 00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:46,580 and they entered the state of ihram for Hajj. 235 00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:48,580 The Messenger of Allah, 236 00:09:48,580 --> 00:09:50,580 peace be upon him, rode, 237 00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:52,580 and he prayed in Mina the Dhuhr, ‘Asr, 238 00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:54,580 Maghrib, Isha, 239 00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:56,580 and Fajr prayers, 240 00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:58,580 shortening them without combining them. 241 00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:00,580 Then he remained there until 242 00:10:00,580 --> 00:10:02,580 the sun rose. 243 00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:04,580 He ordered a tent of hair 244 00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:06,580 to be pitched for him at Namirah. 245 00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:08,580 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, set out, 246 00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:10,580 and the Quraysh did not doubt 247 00:10:10,580 --> 00:10:12,580 that he would 248 00:10:12,580 --> 00:10:14,580 stand at the Mash'ar al-Haram, 249 00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:16,580 just as the Quraysh 250 00:10:16,580 --> 00:10:18,580 used to do in the pre-Islamic era. 251 00:10:18,580 --> 00:10:20,580 This is because the Quraysh 252 00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,580 would not leave the Sacred Precincts, 253 00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,580 and they called themselves the Hums, 254 00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:26,580 meaning those who were zealous for their religion, 255 00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:28,580 and they would never enter ‘Arafah 256 00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:30,830 at all. 257 00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:32,830 He said: The Messenger of Allah, 258 00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:34,830 peace be upon him, proceeded 259 00:10:34,830 --> 00:10:36,830 until he reached ‘Arafah, 260 00:10:36,830 --> 00:10:38,830 and he found that the tent had been pitched 261 00:10:38,830 --> 00:10:40,830 for him at Namirah. 262 00:10:40,830 --> 00:10:42,830 He stayed there until, 263 00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:44,830 when the sun had passed its zenith, 264 00:10:44,830 --> 00:10:46,830 he ordered the Qaswa’ to be saddled 265 00:10:46,830 --> 00:10:48,830 for him, and he came to 266 00:10:48,830 --> 00:10:50,830 the bottom of the valley and delivered a sermon. 267 00:10:50,830 --> 00:10:52,830 He said, "Indeed, your blood 268 00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:54,830 and your wealth are sacred to you, 269 00:10:54,830 --> 00:10:56,830 as sacred as this day of yours, 270 00:10:56,830 --> 00:10:58,830 in this month of yours, 271 00:10:58,830 --> 00:11:00,830 in this land of yours. 272 00:11:00,830 --> 00:11:02,830 Beware, everything 273 00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:04,830 from the affairs of the pre-Islamic era 274 00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,830 is placed beneath my feet. 275 00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:08,830 Then he, peace be upon him, said, 276 00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:10,830 'And the blood feuds 277 00:11:10,830 --> 00:11:12,830 of the pre-Islamic era are abolished. 278 00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:14,830 The first blood feud I abolish 279 00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:16,830 from our blood feuds 280 00:11:16,830 -->

him." 283 00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:24,960 The Messenger, peace be upon him, 284 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960 was establishing 285 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,960 that the affairs of the pre-Islamic era 286 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,960 had ended. 287 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,960 The blood feuds of the pre-Islamic era had ended, 288 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960 and the first blood I abolish 289

00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,960 So he began with his own family, peace be upon him. 293 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,090 Then he said, 294 00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,090 peace be upon him, 295 00:11:47,090

"We bear witness that you have conveyed, 320 00:12:37,149 --> 00:12:39,220 fulfilled, and given counsel." 321 00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:41,220 He then pointed with his index finger, 322 00:12:41,220 -->

"Tranquility, tranquility!" 354 00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:47,220 Whenever he came to 355 00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:49,220 a hill, 356 00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:51,220 he would loosen the rein slightly 357

00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:07,220 and he did not pray any voluntary prayers between them. 365 00:14:07,220 --> 00:14:09,220 He rested until the dawn broke, 366 00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:11,220 and he prayed Fajr when 367 00:14:11,220 --> 00:14:13,220 the morning became clear to him, 368 00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:15,220 with an adhan and an iqamah. 369 00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:17,220 Then he rode the Qaswa’

00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:03,279 for they would remain in Muzdalifah. 393 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:06,279 But he left Muzdalifah 394 00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:08,279 before sunrise. 395 00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,500 He said, 396 00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,500 "And he had al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbas ride behind him." 397 00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:14,500 He was a man with beautiful hair, 398 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,500 fair-skinned, and handsome. 399 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,500 When the Messenger of Allah, 400 00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,500 peace be upon him, departed, 401 00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,500 A caravan of women passed by him. 402 00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,500 Al-Fadl began 403 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:26,500 to look at them. 404 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,500 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, placed 405 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,500 his hand over the face of Al-Fadl. 406 00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:32,500 So he turned his face 407 00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,500 to the other side to look. 408 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,500 The Messenger of Allah, 409 00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,500 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 410 00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,500 moved his hand to the other side. 411 00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,500 Until he reached the valley of Muhassir, 412 00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:44,500 he moved slightly. 413 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,539 Then he took the middle path 414 00:15:46,539 --> 00:15:48,539 that leads out 415 00:15:48,539 --> 00:15:50,539 to the Jamrat al-Kubra. 416 00:15:50,539 --> 00:15:52,539 Until he reached the Jamrah that 417 00:15:52,539 --> 00:15:54,539 is by the tree, and he stoned it 418 00:15:54,539 --> 00:15:56,539 with seven pebbles, saying the takbir 419 00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,539 with every pebble among them. 420 00:15:58,539 --> 00:16:00,539 He used a throwing motion. 421 00:16:01,539 --> 00:16:03,539 Then he went to the place of sacrifice, 422 00:16:03,539 --> 00:16:05,539 and he sacrificed sixty-three [camels] 423 00:16:05,539 --> 00:16:07,539 with his own hand. 424 00:16:07,539 --> 00:16:09,539 Then he gave [the rest] to Ali, who sacrificed 425 00:16:09,539 --> 00:16:11,539 the remainder. 426 00:16:11,539 --> 00:16:13,539 And he included him in his sacrificial offering. 427 00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:15,539 Then he ordered that from every camel 428 00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,539 a piece of meat be taken, 429 00:16:17,539 --> 00:16:19,539 and it was put into a pot and cooked. 430 00:16:19,539 --> 00:16:21,539 So he ate from its meat 431 00:16:21,539 --> 00:16:23,629 and drank from its broth. 432 00:16:23,629 --> 00:16:25,629 Then he mounted, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 433 00:16:25,629 --> 00:16:27,629 and proceeded to the House [the Ka'bah], 434 00:16:27,629 --> 00:16:29,629 where he performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 435 00:16:29,629 --> 00:16:31,629 He prayed Dhuhr in Makkah, 436 00:16:31,629 --> 00:16:33,629 then he came to the Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib, 437 00:16:33,629 --> 00:16:35,629 who were drawing water at Zamzam. 438 00:16:35,629 --> 00:16:37,629 He said, 439 00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:39,629 "Draw water, O Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib, 440 00:16:39,629 --> 00:16:41,629 for were it not that people would overwhelm you 441 00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:43,629 regarding your right to provide water, 442 00:16:43,629 --> 00:16:45,629 I would have drawn water with you." 443 00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:47,629 So they handed him a bucket, 444 00:16:47,629 --> 00:16:49,629 and he drank from it, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
