Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

Section

As for his circumambulation of the House upon arrival, there is disagreement over whether he performed it on foot or riding.

Sahīh Muslim (1) relates that ‘Ā’ishah said:

“During the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) circumambulated the Ka‘bah on his camel, touching the corner, because he did not want people to be struck to clear a path for him.”

Sunan Abī Dāwūd (2) relates that Ibn ‘Abbās said:

“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Mecca while suffering from an ailment, and circumambulated on his mount. Whenever he came to the corner, he touched the corner (3) with a hooked staff. When he finished his circumambulation, he made his camel kneel and prayed two rak‘ahs.”

Abū al-Tufayl said:

“I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) circumambulating the House on a camel, touching the Black Stone with his hooked staff (4), then kissing the staff.”

Muslim related this (5) without mentioning the camel. Al-Bayhaqī (6) related it through Muslim’s chain of transmission, including mention of the camel. This—and Allah knows best—concerned the main circumambulation of Hajj, not the circumambulation on arrival, for Jābir reported that he jogged during the first three circuits, which could only have been done on foot.

(1) No. 1274. (2) No. 1881; also narrated by Ahmad (2772). Its chain of transmission includes Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, whose reliability has been criticized. The hadith is authentic without the phrase “while he was suffering from an ailment,” which Yazīd alone transmitted. See al-Sunan al-Kubrā (5/99) and Da‘īf Abī Dāwūd—al-Umm (2/168). (3) This is the reading in the manuscripts and al-Sunan. The printed edition reads “istalamahu (he touched it).” (4) Manuscript k reads “bi-mihjan (with a hooked staff).” (5) No. 1275. (6) (5/100).
فصل وأمَّا طوافه بالبيت عند قدومه، فاختُلِف فيه: هل كان على قدمَيه أو كان راكبًا؟ ففي «صحيح مسلم» (١) عن عائشة قالت: طاف النبيُّ ﷺ في حجَّة الوداع حول الكعبة على بعيره يستلم الرُّكن، كراهيةَ أن يُضْرَب عنه النَّاس. وفي «سنن أبي داود» (٢) عن ابن عبَّاسٍ قال: قدِمَ النبيُّ ﷺ مكَّة وهو يشتكي، فطاف على راحلته، كلَّما أتى الرُّكنَ استلم الركنَ (٣) بمِحْجَنٍ، فلمَّا فرغ من طوافه أناخ فصلَّى ركعتين. وقال أبو الطفيل: رأيت النبيَّ ﷺ يطوف حول البيت على بعيرٍ يستلم الحجرَ بمِحْجنه (٤) ثمَّ يقبِّله. رواه مسلم (٥) دون ذكر البعير، وهو عند البيهقي (٦) بإسناد مسلم بذكر البعير، وهذا ــ والله أعلم ــ في طواف الإفاضة لا في طواف القدوم، فإنَّ جابرًا حكى عنه الرَّمل في الثَّلاثة الأول وذلك لا يكون إلا مع المشي.
(١) برقم (١٢٧٤). (٢) برقم (١٨٨١)، ورواه أحمد (٢٧٧٢)، وفي إسناده يزيد بن أبي زياد متكلم فيه، والحديث يصح بدون قوله «وهو يشتكي»، فقد تفرد بها يزيد. انظر: «السنن الكبرى» (٥/ ٩٩) و «ضعيف أبي داود - الأم» (٢/ ١٦٨). (٣) كذا في النسخ و «السنن»، وفي المطبوع: «استلمه». (٤) ك: «بمحجن». (٥) برقم (١٢٧٥). (٦) (٥/ ١٠٠).
