Page 335 - Related Hadiths and Sunnah

Page 335 of the standard Uthmani codex contains Surah Al-Hajj (Chapter 22), verses 24 through 30.

This page transitions directly into the core theme of the surah: The Sanctuary of Makkah and the institution of the Hajj pilgrimage. It details the founding intent of the Kaaba, the global call to pilgrimage given to Abraham, and the essential ritual and ethical practices expected of pilgrims. The Sunnah acts as the practical manual for these exact verses.

1. Hadiths Related to Verse 25: The Sacred Mosque is for All Mankind

Verse 25 heavily admonishes those who block believers from accessing the sanctuary:

"Indeed, those who have disbelieved and divert [people] from the way of Allah and [from] al-Masjid al-Haram, which We made for all people equally - the resident therein and the visitor..." (Quran 22:25).

The Equal Sanctity of Makkah's Properties

The phrase "which We made for all people equally" generated a major legal discussion among the Companions regarding whether property in Makkah could be bought, sold, or rented, since the land belongs fundamentally to the public dynamic of worship.

• The Sunnah Context: The Prophet's ﷺ actions during the Conquest of Makkah heavily reinforce this concept of shared space. In Sunan Ibn Majah, it is recorded that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Makkah is a sanctuary; its houses cannot be sold and its rent cannot be consumed."

• While later jurists permitted the physical building ownership, the core spirit of the Sunnah dictated that visitors must never be blocked or exploited, as Makkah belongs conceptually to the global community of believers.

2. Hadiths Related to Verse 27: The Call of Ibrahim (Abraham)

Verse 27 outlines the command given to Prophet Ibrahim after building the Kaaba:

"And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass." (Quran 22:27).

"They Will Come on Foot" vs. Riding

The Hadith collections deal heavily with the physical realities of this verse—specifically analyzing whether it is spiritually superior to perform Hajj walking on foot or riding a mount.

• The Prophet's Choice: Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated that when this verse was revealed, Ibrahim asked, "O Lord, how can I convey this to the people when my voice cannot reach them?" Allah replied, "Proclaim, and it is upon Me to convey it." It is said his voice was heard across the globe.

• The Sunnah Application: While walking exhibits great physical sacrifice, the Prophet ﷺ himself chose to perform his Farewell Hajj riding a camel. In Sahih al-Bukhari, Anas ibn Malik notes that the Prophet ﷺ rode on an old saddle with a cloak worth mere dirhams, demonstrating that the ultimate goal of Hajj is humility, ease of learning the rituals, and absolute focus, rather than intentional self-torture through walking if a mount is available.

3. Hadiths Related to Verse 29: Fulfilling Vows & The Ancient House

Verse 29 maps out the technical roadmap for completing the pilgrimage:

"...Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform Tawaf around the Ancient House (Al-Bayt al-Ateeq)." (Quran 22:29).

Why the Kaaba is Called "Al-Ateeq"

The page uses a distinct descriptor for the Kaaba: Al-Bayt al-Ateeq (The Ancient House / The Liberated House).

• The Prophetic Explanation: The Prophet ﷺ explicitly clarified why this title was given. In Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Abdullah bin al-Zubayr narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It was only named Al-Ateeq (The Liberated) because it was never conquered or dominated by any tyrant." Allah protected it from the army of Abrahah (the Elephant) and all who sought its destruction.

The Specific Meaning of "Ending Untidiness" (Tafath)

The companion Abdullah ibn Umar defined Tafath based entirely on the Prophet’s personal practice during Hajj. It refers to the physical transition out of the restrictive state of Ihram (pilgrim sanctity):

• Shaving or cutting the hair.

• Trimming fingernails.

• Washing the body and wearing regular clothes after the intense days of travel and worship.

• Sahih al-Bukhari: Book 25, Hadith 111 (Detailing the Prophet's removal of Ihram restrictions on the Day of Nahr).

4. Hadiths Related to Verse 30: Avoiding False Testimony

The page ends with a firm ethical mandate nested inside the rules of pilgrimage:

"...So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement (Qawl al-Zoor)." (Quran 22:30).

Equating False Witness to Shirk (Idolatry)

Because this verse syntactically pairs the avoidance of idols with the avoidance of lying/false witness, the Prophet ﷺ routinely emphasized just how catastrophic deceitful speech is to a person's faith.

• The Narration: Ayman bin Khuraim narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "O people! False testimony has been made equivalent to associating partners with Allah (Shirk)." He then recited this exact verse: "...So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement."
