The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "(The superstructure of) Islam is based on
five (pillars), testifying the fact that La ilaha illallah wa anna
Muhammad-ar-Rasul-ullah [there is no true god except Allah, and Muhammad
((ﷺ)) is the Messenger of Allah], establishing As- Salat (the prayers),
paying Zakat (poor due), the pilgrimage to the House [of Allah
(Ka'bah)], and the Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah and said, "O people! Hajj
(pilgrimage to the House of Allah) has been made incumbent upon you, so
perform Hajj." A man inquired: "O Messenger of Allah, is it prescribed
every year?" He (ﷺ) remained silent till the man repeated it thrice.
Then he (ﷺ) said, "Had I replied in the affirmative, it would have
surely become obligatory, and you would not have been able to fulfill
it." Afterwards he said, "Do not ask me so long as I do not impose
anything upon you, because those who were before you were destroyed on
account of their frequent questioning and their disagreement with their
Prophets. So when I order you to do something, do it as far as you can;
and when I forbid you from doing anything, eschew it." [Muslim].
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The
Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: "Which deed is the best?" He (ﷺ) replied, "Faith
in Allah and His Messenger." Then he was asked: "What is next?" He
replied, "Jihad (holy fighting) in the Cause of Allah." Then he was
asked, "What is after that?" He (ﷺ) replied, "Hajj Mabrur (an accepted
pilgrimage)." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever performs Hajj (pilgrimage) and
does not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commits sin, nor
disputes unjustly (during Hajj), then he returns from Hajj as pure and
free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "(The performance of) 'Umrah is an
expiation for the sins committed between it and the previous 'Umrah; and
the reward of Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted) is nothing but Jannah."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
I
said: "O Messenger of Allah! We consider Jihad as the best deed, should
we not then go for Jihad?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The best
Jihad for you women is Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted by Allah)."
[Al-Bukhari].
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There is no day on which Allah sets free
more people from Hell than He does on the Day of 'Arafah." [Muslim].
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The
Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(The performance of) 'Umrah during Ramadan is equal
to Hajj (pilgrimage)." Or said, "Equal to the performance of Hajj with
me." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
A
woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, "Allah's obligation
upon His slaves has become obligatory on my father in his old age. My
father is very old and incapable of riding. May I perform Hajj on his
behalf?" He (ﷺ) said, "Yes." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Laqit bin 'Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "My father is a very old man and does
not have strength to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) or 'Umrah or to
undertake the journey." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform Hajj and 'Umrah
on behalf of your father." [Abu Dawud and At-
