Riyad as-Salihin, 1284
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Ukaz, Mijannah and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the pre-Islamic period. The Companions disliked trading there till the following Ayat of the Noble Qur'an were revealed: "There is no sin on you if you seek the Bounty of your Rubb (during pilgrimage by trading)..." (2:198) <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: كانت عكاظ ومجنة، وذو المجاز أسواقًا في الجاهلية، فتأثموا أن يتجروا في المواسم، فنزلت: {ليس عليكم جناح أن تبتغوا فضلا من ربكم} ((البقرة: 198)) في مواسم الحج.((رواه البخاري)).
