The Prophet ﷺclarified the rites and actions of Hajj and ‘Umrah by words and actions and explained that which is allowed and that which is not allowed in them. He ﷺused to facilitate the acts of worship for his Companions so they do not create hardship for themselves or endure burdens. In this hadeeth, ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbaas (ra) reports that during the Tawaaf, the Prophet ﷺnoticed a person who had tied his hand to another person using a rope, a lengthy piece made and cut from leather or a string or something else, for example a towel or the like. Thereupon, he ﷺsevered it with his own hand, because the only possible way to remove this evil is by cutting it off. Then, the Prophet ﷺsaid, “Lead him by your hand,” meaning, without attaching him to something. It is said that the one driven was blind or because it is only animals that are dragged by a rope and so on, which involves piercing and slightly mutilating [the animals]. It is also said that the people before Islam used these kinds of acts as a way of ritually getting closer to Allah, henceforth, the Prophet ﷺprohibited it. It has also been stated that the both men did that because one of them had made a vow to do that, thus, the Prophet ﷺprohibited that and clarified that such vows are not valid, as it is in a narration according to Saheeh al-Bukhaaree. From the benefits that can be concluded from this hadeeth is learning that it is permissible to speak good [to others] whilst doing Tawaaf. It shows us that if one performing Tawaaf sees an evil act, it allowed for him to change it using his hands..
