4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Takbir in the days of Tashriq is from Salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) to Salat (prayer) of al-‘Asr of the last day of Tashriq, if you remain in Mina’. If you leave Mina 5 you are not obligated for anything in this matter. In Takhir say, ’Allah is great beyond description, Allah is great beyond description. No one deserves worship except Allah. Allah is great beyond description. Allah is great beyond description. All praise belongs to Allah. Allah is great beyond description. Allah is great beyond description as He has given us the cattle and all praise belongs to Allah for His testing and trials for us.’”

5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَاتَتْهُ رَكْعَةٌ مَعَ الإِمَامِ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ قَالَ يُتِمُّ صَلاتَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّكْبِيرِ بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلاةٍ فَقَالَ كَمْ شِئْتَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ يَعْنِي فِي الْكَلامِ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man who misses one Rak’at Salat (prayer) with the Imam of Salat (prayer) in the days of Tashriq. He (the Imam) said, ’He completes his Salat (prayer) and then says Takhir.’ I then asked about Takhir after every Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘As many times as you like. There is not anything definite in speaking of Allah.’” NOTE: Fatwa best explains Hadith 4-5 of this Chapter

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ إِذَا زَارُوا الْبَيْتَ وَدَخَلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ أَتَمُّوا وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ قَصَّرُوا.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In the case of people of Makkah when they visit the House, then enter their lodgings; they perform their Salat (prayer) complete, but if they do not enter their lodging, they perform in the form of Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance).”’

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ إِذَا خَرَجُوا حُجَّاجاً قَصَّرُوا وَإِذَا زَارُوا وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ أَتَمُّوا.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If people of Makkah come out as Hajj (pilgrims) they perform their Salat (prayer) in Taqsir (reduced Salat (prayer) as on a journey after traveling a certain distance), but when they visit and return to their lodging they perform complete.’” NOTE: Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-2 of this Chapter

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed al-Hajj and stayed in Mina for three days praying two Rak‘ats in each salat (prayer). Abu Bakr also did the same way. Then ‘Umar did in the same way. Thereafter, ‘Uthman did the same way for six years. He then performed four Rak‘at in full. He performed al-Zuhr four Rak‘ats, then he pretended to be ill so he can establish his setup of innovation. He told the person calling Adhan, “Go to Ali and tell him to lead al-‘Asr salat (prayer) for the people.” He went to Ali (a.s.), and said, “’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Uthman commands you to lead salat (prayer) with people.” He (the Imam) said, “I will only perform two Rak‘ats just as the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, had done.” The person calling Adhan went back and informed ‘Uthman about it. He, ‘Uthman, said, “Go to him and tell him, ‘This is not up to you to decide. Go and lead salat (prayer) with people as you are commanded.’” Ali (a.s.), said, “No by Allah, I will not do so.” ‘Uthman then went and led salat (prayer) with people; four Rak‘ats. During the rule of Mu‘awiyah, when people had gathered around him and ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali (a.s.), was martyred, Mu‘awiyah performed al-Hajj. In Mina’ he led al-Zuhr salat (prayer) with people in two Rak‘ats, and finished with Salam. The Amawides looked to each other, so also did Thaqif people as well as Shi`a of ‘Uthman. They then said, “He struck a blow to your companion (‘Uthman), opposed him and made his enemies to ridicule him.” They stood up and went to meet Mu‘awiyah. They said, “Do you know that you, by not increasing, have struck a blow to our companion, ‘Uthman, made his enemies to ridicule him, deviated from his tradition and deeds.” He replied, “Fie upon you, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed salat (prayer) in this place, two Rak‘ats (in short form) as well as abu Bakr and ‘Umar and also your companion for six years? Now you command me to give up the tradition of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, what abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman had done before he (‘Uthman) invented (the innovation)” They said, “No by Allah, we will not agree with you until you do that.” He then said, “I ask you to pardon me and I accept your intercession on his behalf. I return to the tradition of your companion.” He performed al-‘Asr salat (prayer) in four Rak‘ats. From that time on, the Khalifah and rulers continued performing salat (prayer) in Mina in complete form to this day.’”

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said, “You should perform Salat (prayer) in Masjid al-Khayf, it is the Masjid of Mina’. The Masjid of the Messenger of Allah (sw) was near the minaret in the center of the Masjid. Above this place toward al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) is thirty yards as well as from its right, left and backsides. If you can perform Salat there then do so because one thousand prophets have performed Salat there. It is called al-Khayf because it is higher than the valley and what is higher is called Khayf.’”

5ـ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يُتِمُّونَ الصَّلاةَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ وَيْلَهُمْ أَوْ وَيْحَهُمْ وَأَيُّ سَفَرٍ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ لا لا يُتِمُّ.

5. Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar has narrated the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that people of Makkah perform their Salat (prayer) in complete form when they are in ‘Arafat. He (the Imam) said, ‘Woe is upon them’ or ‘Fie upon them, which journey is more intense than that. No, Salat (prayer) is not complete in ‘Arafat.’”

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ صَلِّ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ مِنًى فِي أَصْلِ الصَّوْمَعَةِ.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Perform six Rak‘at Salat (prayer) in Masjid of Mina’ in the original al-Sawma‘ah (the structure near the minaret). (Fatwa explains h 4-5 above)

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَتَعَجَّلَ السَّيْرَ وَكَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ حِينَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَيَّ سَاعَةٍ نَنْفِرُ فَقَالَ لِي أَمَّا الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ فَلا تَنْفِرْ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ وَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَإِذَا ابْيَضَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَانْفِرْ عَلَى بَرَكَةِ الله فَإِنَّ الله جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ يَقُولُ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَوْ سَكَتَ لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ تَعَجَّلَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud ibn al-Nu’man from abu Ayyub who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about departure and it was the night of departure. We like to be quick. What time should we depart? He (the Imam) said, ’You must not depart on the second day before Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime), it was the night of departure. On the third day when the sun is bright white, you can depart with the blessing of Allah. Allah, most glorious is whose praise says, “Those who depart quicker in two days have not sinned and those who depart later have not sinned.” (2:203) If He had remained quiet everyone would depart quickly but He has said, “Those who delay have not sinned.”’”

2ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَرَجِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ أَ يُقَدِّمُ الرَّجُلُ رَحْلَهُ وَثَقَلَهُ قَبْلَ النَّفْرِ فَقَالَ لا أَ مَا يَخَافُ الَّذِي يُقَدِّمُ ثَقَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْبِسَهُ الله تَعَالَى قَالَ وَلَكِنْ يُخَلِّفُ مِنْهُ مَا شَاءَ لا يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ قُلْتُ أَ فَأَتَعَجَّلُ مِنَ النِّسْيَانِ أَقْضِي مَنَاسِكِي وَأَنَا أُبَادِرُ بِهِ إِهْلالاً وَإِحْلالاً قَالَ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ.

2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu al-Faraj from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), if a man can send his luggage and traveling materials ahead before his departure. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, is he, who sends his luggage and so on ahead, not afraid that Allah, most High, can hold him back. However, he may keep back whatever he wants from entering Makkah.’ I then asked, ‘Can one, for fear of forgetfulness, perform the acts of his Hajj quicker, in commencing (Talbiyah) and ending (coming out of the state of Ihram)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”
