DHUL HIJJAH | BENEFIT (3):

During our reading of 'Al-Fiqhul Muyassar', the authors mentioned (P. 172) that: (النبي ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلى المدينة إلا حجة واحدة) “The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only once after his migration to Madeenah.” From the above statement we can derive 2 benefits: BENEFIT 1⃣: [based on the مَنْطُوق (direct/literal understanding)] The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only ONCE after his migration to Madeenah. Ibnul Qayyim raḥimahullāh mentions in Zaadul Ma'aad that: لا خلاف أنه ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلا حجة واحدة وهي حجة الوداع سنة عشر. “There is no dispute that he ﷺ did not perform Hajj after his migration except ONCE, and that is the Farewell Pilgrimage during the TENTH YEAR (AH).” BENEFIT 2⃣: [based on the مَفْهُوم (contrary/reverse understanding)] The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj BEFORE migrating to Madeenah. The evidence for this is the narration of Jubair ibn Mut'im, who said: “(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel...My camel was lost and I went out in search of it on the day of 'Arafah, and I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing in 'Arafah. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the Hums(*). What has brought him here?” [Reported by Bukhari & Muslim] NOTE: (*) 'Hums' refers to extreme religiosity; Quraish were known as such because when they performed Hajj they would not exit the Haram (the sacred sanctuary) to go out to 'Arafah. This is why Jubair ibn Mut'im was surprised when he saw the Prophet ﷺ - who belonged to Quraish - standing in 'Arafah. ----------------------------------------- For more benefits like this, 📝 JOIN t.me/madrasatuna
