Adnan Rajeh – Appreciating Hajj #06

This is a long hadith and collection of

a Muslim. It's a long one. Probably one

of the if not one of the longest

if not the longest, it's one of the

longest.

It's it's one of those hadith that I

feel at some point, we'll just I'll do,

like, a series where I just read through

portions of it until it's over.

It's where Jabir because Jabir who was a

young man, during the time of the prophet

alaihi sallam was Medina. He's very, very bright

guy. And he and he documented certain things

for us. But, you know,

because he

tells the full story from beginning till end.

He goes into every detail that he remembers,

and it's a really beautiful hadith. It's long,

but it's beautiful because it has a lot

of little gems and nuggets about his his

Hajj. So I'm missing the rate for you,

like, the yeah. Any a small piece of

it, obviously. Don't worry. Just a a short

piece of it that I that I I

treasure, especially the first part,

where he was asked by Muhammad ibn Ali

ibn Hussein, where he was asked about this,

issue, Yani, by one of the and,

about the Hajj of the prophet

Some people were interested in that, and I

think it's something they should be interested in

and we should be interested as well.

So they said that he said the prophet

spent

9 years

with no Hajj. When the 10th year came

and Adan went off that the prophet

is performing Hajj this year. So people came

to Madinah.

People came. The numbers were huge. People coming

to Madinah, all of them hoping that they

can be they can yeah. Mean they can

follow the prophet alaihis salaam in his Hajj

and do what he did alaihis salaam. Think

of this. Think of the beauty of this

moment where where you hear the prophet

finally is going for Hajj.

People left, they dropped, and they ran to

Medina hoping that they can follow his foot.

They can walk with him out of his

salawat. And I always I say this every

year. And I and I and I you're

Yani.

Not to be repetitive, but one of the

moments that I wish I could have I

I

Yami. But to be amongst the people who

make it Yom Kiyama. I want to go

back. I want him to take me back

to yeah. I need to to his.

I want him to take him back to

his side where he stood on the mountain,

alayhis salaam. There's certain moments I want to

witness. I want to see it because you

can't you can only imagine the beauty and

just the just the

the the magnificence of certain moments of his

life, alayhis salaam. It's basically

especially at the end because this Hajj was

the it's called

Hajj Right? The, the he knew he wasn't

gonna see it again. Like, he knew

it was the last

the last time he'll do it. So he

knew that even though some people didn't know

it. Some people did, but he he knew

for sure this was his last time. And

it was it was a long time coming.

Coming. It's been like a decade where he

wasn't allowed to do Hajj and people of

Mecca.

They perform Hajj every year. You're in Mecca.

Why Yani, how would you not? So for

for him, that was just every year. They

Hajj every year. And he for for a

decade, he was not allowed, and now he

was coming back, and he was the last

time. Anyways,

so everyone came hoping to follow him

So he said, so he went with him

to a cemetery arrived at Dal Khalifa, the

place where the, you perform Ihram coming from

Medina. So he prayed the prophet he prayed,

alayhis salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu,

salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu,

salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu, salatu,

salatu, salatu, sal and then they did the

Haram. And then he got on his his

his, she camel,

And she is this camel, she's she's famous

if you and you should know her. Anyways,

so you got on

her.

You think it's funny.

One of my people will will specifically

say every time and every by him when

the prophet ever read, ever wrote or or

owned is better than me.

Made you because it was Anyways,

he got on

his meaning they moved until you could see

the open land right before Mecca. Meaning the

Bayda is an area just outside of Mecca

where you can see you can see it

all. You can see everything. Now you can

you can finally see it.

I look and I see the prophet, alayhi,

salsam, on his sheikam.

And I see, as far as my eyes

can see, in front of him and on

on his right and on his left and

behind him. People all of them hoping to

get something from him

Said in the prophet this is a Jabal's

description. The prophet, alaihis salam, is amongst us,

and the Quran is coming to him, and

he's explaining it to us.

And everything he does, we are doing exactly

like him.

This is his his memory of this moment,

is that we were there. He was there.

He the Quran was coming to him. He

was explaining it to us. We were learning

it. He was doing things. We were doing

what he was doing. It's as if to

say that's when time stopped for him.

Like, that's when that's that was life. That

was those those were moments that never came

back again.

So he did his

and all the people started to do their.

Not everyone did what he when it came

for the. They didn't say exactly what he

said, and they said something a little bit

different, all these variations. And the prophet

did not tell any of them to go

back and say he let them say what

they wanted, and he stuck to his talbiyah.

And this piece,

you know, I know this is this hadith

is an emotional one, but this piece is

different. This piece is also.

The prophet did not correct them. Right? They

were there with him. They heard what he

said. They said something different.

It's not like no. No. It's not it

didn't happen a 1000 years. Like, no. No.

They heard what he said, and they said

something different. They didn't feel it was weird.

He didn't feel it was weird. He didn't

correct them. He stuck to what he had,

alaihis what he was saying, and they said

what they were saying.

The variations within our deen, when it comes

to the serving the same purpose, this is

we have to be a little bit more

open minded about these things. And you have

to understand that the Sahaba understood that as

well.

When it comes to the oh, there's a

lot of, you know, any chance that we

make where we're like, oh, he didn't say

that. I know.

But this happened a lot in his life,

Hadid. He was he would he would say

things, and then they would say something a

little bit different, same meaning, same purpose. They

they weren't adding shirk to it. They weren't

putting some wording in it that was haram.

They just these variations are accept. The father

alayhis salam is okay with this stuff. He

could have said, nope. Say exactly what I

said, but they didn't, and he didn't

And there's there's a there's a nugget there

for a different night, Yani, for a different

altogether.

But it's a beautiful moment. And the prophet

began the and they entered and they entered

with him

for his final for his final for his

farewell Hajj that he performed

I'll continue a piece of this hadith tomorrow

as well. I hope that was a benefit

to you. I'll narrate it one more time

if you're interested in listening.
