sahih

Narrated Nafi`:

`Abdullah bin `Umar said: "A man got up in the mosque and said: O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 'At which place you order us that we should assume the Ihram?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, 'The residents of Medina should assure the Ihram from Dhil-Hulaifa, the people of Syria from Al-Juhfa and the people of Najd from Qarn." Ibn `Umar further said, "The people consider that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had also said, 'The residents of Yemen should assume Ihram from Yalamlam.' " Ibn `Umar used to say, "I do not: remember whether Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said the last statement or not?"

حَدَّثَنِي قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ،‏.‏ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نُهِلَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، وَيُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ مِنَ الْجُحْفَةِ، وَيُهِلُّ أَهْلُ نَجْدٍ مِنْ قَرْنٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ وَيُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ يَلَمْلَمَ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لَمْ أَفْقَهْ هَذِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

There are miqats for Hajj, from which the pilgrim must enter ihram; there are rulings concerning them which are explained in detail in the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). In this hadith, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar tells us that a man stood up in the Prophet’s Mosque and asked the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): From where do you instruct us to enter ihram? In other words, from where should we begin to recite the talbiyah, raising our voices in reciting it, with the intention of entering ihram for Hajj or ‘umrah? The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) instructed the people of Madinah to enter ihram from Dhul Hulayfah, which is a place outside Madinah on the road to Makkah, it is the miqat of the people of Madinah. The distance between it and Makkah is 420 km; therefore it is the furthest of the miqats from Makkah. For the people of al-Sham and those who pass through [their land], the miqat is al-Juhfah, which is located between Makkah and Madinah, at a distance of approximately 190 km from Makkah. It is a village near Rabigh. For the people of Najd and those who pass through [their land], the miqat is Qarn, i.e., Qarn al-Manazil, which nowadays is called al-Sayl al-Kabir. Its location is 55 km north of the city of al-Ta’if; it is 75 km from Makkah. Najd is the land between the Hijaz and Iraq; Najd now forms the centre of the Arabian Peninsula; in the middle of Najd lies the city of Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Najd includes many regions, including Qasim, Sudayr, al-Aflaj, al-Yamamah, al-Washm and others. Then Ibn ‘Umar stated that he did not know that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) instructed the people of Yemen to enter ihram from Yalamlam, which is a mountain to the south of Makkah, 85 km away. This hadith highlights the keenness of the Sahabah to convey the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in the manner he said them, even if they did not understand some of what he said. .
