in exactly the same way you pronounce it.’ He then asked, ‘Did you drive a sacrificial animal with you?’ I replied, ‘I did not.’ He said, ‘Then circumambulate the House, perform saʿy between Ṣafā and Marwah, and release yourself from the state of consecration.’ So I did so, and he went on to relate the rest of the report.

As for Muʿādh, it appears most likely that he did not return from Yemen until after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away.

Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn Ḥazm narrated to me from his father, who said:

‘We still possess the written document of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to ʿAmr ibn Ḥazm when he dispatched him to Yemen to instruct its people in jurisprudence, teach them the Sunnah, and collect their alms. He wrote him a letter and covenant, in which he commanded him, saying:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Ever-Merciful.

This is a missive from Allah and His Messenger. ‘O you who believe, fulfil your covenants’ (Q 5:1). It is a covenant from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ʿAmr ibn Ḥazm when he sent him to Yemen.

He commands him to fear Allah in all matters, for Allah is with those who are mindful of Him and those who excel. He instructs him to uphold the truth as ordered, to bring people glad tidings of goodness and enjoin it upon them, to teach the people the Quran and give them deep understanding of it, and that no one should touch the Quran except in a state of purity. He is to inform the people of their rights and of what is required of them, to be gentle when establishing the truth yet firm when confronting injustice, for Allah detests oppression and has forbidden it. He says: ‘Indeed, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers’ (Q 11:18).

He is to give the people glad tidings of Paradise and the deeds that lead to it, warn them of the Fire and the deeds that lead to it, and win their hearts until they grasp the religion. He must teach them the landmarks of pilgrimage—its practices, obligations, and all that Allah has prescribed—clarifying both the greater pilgrimage (al-ḥajj al-akbar) and the lesser pilgrimage, for the lesser pilgrimage is ʿumrah.

He is to forbid anyone from praying in a single small garment unless it is wide enough for its two ends to be crossed over both shoulders; to forbid a man from sitting wrapped in a single garment while exposing his private parts to the sky; and he must not knot the hair on the crown of his head if it hangs loosely at the nape.

He is to prohibit the people—should strife arise among them—from rallying under tribal or clan banners; their rallying cry must be to Allah alone with no partner. Whoever refuses to call to Allah and instead calls to clan or tribe is to be dealt with by the sword until his call is solely to Allah alone with no partner.

He is to enjoin the people…"

كإهلالك. فقال: "أسقت هديا"؟ قلت: لم أسق هديا. قال: "فطف بالبيت واسع ثم حل". ففعلت. وذكر الحديث. أما معاذ فالأشبه أنه لم يرجع من اليمن حتى توفي رسول الله ﷺ. وقال ابن إسحاق: حدثني عبد الله بن أبي بكر بن محمد بن عمرو بن حزم، عن أبيه، قال: هذا كتاب رسول الله ﷺ عندنا، الذي كتبه لعمرو بن حزم، حين بعثه إلى اليمن يفقه أهلها ويعلمهم السنة ويأخذ صدقاتهم، فكتب له كتابا وعهدا وأمره فيه أمره: "بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. هذا كتاب من الله ورسوله. يا أيها الذين آمنوا أوفوا بالعقود. عهدا من رسول الله ﷺ لعمرو بن حزم حين بعثه إلى اليمن. أمره بتقوى الله في أمره كله. فإن الله مع الذين اتقوا والذين هم محسنون. وأمره أن يأخذ الحق كما أمره، وأن يبشر الناس بالخير، ويأمرهم به، ويعلم الناس القرآن، ويفقههم فيه، ولا يمس القرآن أحد، إلا وهو طاهر، ويخبر الناس بالذي لهم، والذي عليهم، ويلين في الحق، ويشتد عليهم في الظلم، فإن الله كره الظلم ونهى عنه، وقال: ﴿أَلا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِين﴾ [هود: ١٨] ، ويبشر الناس بالجنة وبعملها، وينذر الناس من النار وعملها، ويستألف الناس حتى يفقهوا في الدين، ويعلم الناس معالم الحج وسننه وفرائضه وما أمر الله به، والحج الأكبر والحج الأصغر، فالحج الأصغر العمرة. وينهى الناس أن يصلي الرجل في ثوب واحد صغير، إلا أن يكون واسعا فيخالف بين طرفيه على عاتقيه، وينهى أن يحتبي الرجل في ثوب واحد ويفضي إلى السماء بفرجه. ولا يعقد شعر رأسه إذا عفي في قفاه. وينهى الناس إن كان بينهم هيج أن يدعوا إلى القبال والعشائر، وليكن دعاؤهم إلى الله وحده لا شريك له. فمن لم يدع إلى الله ﷿ ودعا إلى العشائر والقبائل فليعطفوا بالسيف حتى يكون دعاؤهم إلى الله وحده لا شريك له، ويأمر الناس
