FIFTH PILLAR OF
ISLAM - HAJJ AND ‘UMRAH
62. Sayyidina Abu
Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
When someone performs Hajj and during the performance does not do anything
indecent or anything sinful then, he returns so (purified and absolved) of his
sins as on the day his mother gave him birth. (Tabarani, Targheeb)
63. Sayyidina Abdullah bin
Mas’ood (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah in succession because they remove poverty and sins as a
blacksmith’s bellows remove impurities from iron, gold and silver. As for the
Hajj that is accepted, the reward is nothing less than Paradise.
(Tirmizi, Targheeb)
64. Sayyidina Ibn
‘Abbas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Try to discharge the (obligation of) Hajj as early as possible because none of
you knows what is going to happen. (Abul Qasim Isbahani, Targheeb)
65. Sayyidina Abu
Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Allah points out to the creatures of heaven (the Angels) the people of Arafah
(the pilgrims) as a pride creation saying: “Look at My slaves! How disheveled
and with unkempt hair they have come to Me.” (Ahmad, Targheeb)
66. Sayyidina Abu Umaamah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
He who dies without performing Hajj although he was not stopped from performing
it by an obvious helplessness, an oppressive king, or a severe illness then he
may die as a Jew if he wishes or as a Christian if he wishes (it is the same
with Allah) (Tirmizi, Mishkat)
67. Sayyidina Abdullah bin
‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone observes the Tawaaf (circumambulation of the House of Allah) and then
offers two Raka’at prayer, whatever number of steps he has taken, against each
step one of his sins is forgiven, one act of piety is recorded in his Record of
Deeds and his rank is elevated by one degree. (Ibn Khazeemah, Targheeb)
68. Sayyidina Talha bin
‘Ubaydullah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The devil is not seen more debased, let down, ignominious and angry as on the
day of Arafah. The reason being is that he sees on that day the Mercy of Allah
descending and the great sins of men being forgiven. (Maalik, Targheeb)
69. Sayyidina Abdullah bin
‘Abbas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Every day Allah spreads a hundred and twenty portions of His Mercy on the
pilgrims of Bayt ul-Haraam (the Sacred House). Sixty of these descend on those
who perform the Tawaaf, forty on those who are engaged in prayer and twenty on
those who look (at Ka’bah) (Bayhaqi, Targheeb)
