Hadith 248

And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’, by his chain to Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘I-asws went to Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari and he asked about the group until he ended up to me. I said, ‘I am Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn-asws’. He hovered his hand to my-asws head and he moved my head up then moved it down, then he placed his hand in my-asws chest, and on that day I-asws was a young boy. He said, ‘Welcome to you-asws, O son-asws of my brother, ask whatever you-asws like’, and he was blind, and the time for Salat had present. He stood in his robe and wrapped himself with it. When he placed it upon his shoulder, both its ends returned to him from its small end and his cloak to his side upon the peg. He prayed Salat with us. I-asws said: ‘Inform me about the Hajj of Rasool-Allah-saww’. He said (gestured) with his hand and indicated nine’. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww remained for nine years not performing Hajj, then he-saww proclaimed among the people during the tenth that Rasool-Allah-saww will be performing Hajj.

He-saww proclaimed the Tawheed (Talbiyya): ‘Here I-saww am, O Allah-azwj, here I-saww am! Here I-saww am, there is no associate for You-azwj, here I-saww am! The Praise, and the Bounty is for You-azwj and the Kingdom. There is no associate for You-azwj’. And the people exclaimed with that which he-saww had exclaimed.

Jabir said, ‘We had not intended except Hajj and we did not know Umrah until when we came to the House (Kabah) with him-saww, He-saww kissed the corner and he-saww sprinted three and walked four, then went to the standing place of Ibrahim-saww and recited: and Take for yourselves a place for Salat at the standing-place of Ibrahim.
