Dhul-Hijjah Benefit #6

Did the Prophet ﷺ Perform Hajj Before Islam? During our reading of Al-Fiqhul Muyassar, the authors mentioned (p. 172): "النبي ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلى المدينة إلا حجة واحدة" “The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only once after his migration to Madinah.” From this statement, we can derive two benefits: Benefit 1⃣. Based on the مَنْطُوق (direct/literal understanding) The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only once after his migration to Madinah. In Zad Al-Ma'ad, Ibn al-Qayyim mentions: "لا خلاف أنه ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلا حجة واحدة وهي حجة الوداع سنة عشر" “There is no disagreement that he ﷺ did not perform Hajj after his migration except once, and that was the Farewell Pilgrimage in the tenth year (AH).” Benefit 2⃣. Based on the مَفْهُوم (contrary/reverse understanding) The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj before migrating to Madinah. The evidence for this is the narration of Jubair ibn Mut‘im, who said: “Before Islam, I was searching for my camel. It was lost, so I went out looking for it on the Day of ‘Arafah, and I saw the Prophet ﷺ standing at ‘Arafah. I said to myself: ‘By Allah, he is from the Hums! What has brought him here?’” [Bukhari & Muslim] Note: “Hums” refers to extreme religiosity. Quraysh were known by this title because, during Hajj, they would not leave the Haram (the sacred sanctuary) to go to ‘Arafah. This is why Jubair ibn Mut‘im was surprised to see the Prophet ﷺ — who belonged to Quraysh — standing at ‘Arafah. Source: https://t.me/madrasatunaa/259
