Explanation of the Book of Hajj-04b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Uthman narrated to us, Jarrir narrated to us from Mansur from Ibrahim from al-Aswad from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1561
The Shaykh : Al-Husba is the night of the fourteenth of the month of Dhul-Hijjah. It was named so because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed there at al-Mahsab, which is a known place, so it was called the night of al-Husba.
The reader:Sahih al-Bukhari 1561
The Shaykh : This is a doubt. The context of the hadith contradicts the well-known account that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated at Saraf, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon her while she was crying and ordered her to combine her Hajj with her 'Umrah, making her a qarin. Also, it is strange in this hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked her about her situation after arriving in Makkah, whether she had performed tawaf or not, and such a thing would generally not be hidden from him. So there is a problem with it.
Aisha said, We went out with the Prophet (from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj only and when we reached Mecca we performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered those who had not driven the Hadi along with them to finish their Ihram. So the people who had not driven the Hadi along with them finished their Ihram. The Prophet's wives, too, had not driven the Hadi with them, so they too, finished their Ihram." `Aisha added, "I got my menses and could not perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba." So when it was the night of Hasba (i.e. when we stopped at Al-Muhassab), I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Everyone is returning
خرجنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا نرى إلا أنه الحج فلما قدمنا تطوفنا بالبيت فأمر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من لم يكن ساق الهدي أن يحل فحل من لم يكن ساق الهدي ونساؤه لم يسقن فأحللن قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها : فحضت فلم أطف بالبيت فلما كانت ليلة الحصبة قالت : يا رسول الله يرجع الناسThe Shaykh : Al-Husba is the night of the fourteenth of the month of Dhul-Hijjah. It was named so because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed there at al-Mahsab, which is a known place, so it was called the night of al-Husba.
The reader:
So when it was the night of Hasba (i.e. when we stopped at Al-Muhassab), I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Everyone is returning after performing Hajj and `Umra but I am returning after performing Hajj only.' He said, 'Didn't you perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba the night we reached Mecca?' I replied in the negative. He said, 'Go with your brother to Tan`im and assume the Ihram for `Umra, (and after performing it) come back to such and such a place.' On that Safiya said, 'I feel that I will detain you all.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O 'Aqra Halqa! Didn't you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba on the day of sacrifice? (i.e. Tawaf-al-ifada) Safiya replied in the affirmative. He said, (to Safiya). 'There is no harm for you to proceed on with us.' " `Aisha added, "(after returning from `Umra), the Prophet (ﷺ) met me while he was ascending (from Mecca) and I was descending to it, or I was ascending and he was descending."
فلما كانت ليلة الحصبة قالت : يا رسول الله يرجع الناس بعمرة وحجة وأرجع أنا بحجة قال وما طفت ليالي قدمنا مكة ؟ قلت : لا قال : فاذهبي مع أخيك إلى التنعيم فأهلي بعمرة ثم موعدك كذا وكذا قالت صفية : ما أراني إلا حابستهم قال : عقرى حلقى أوما طفت يوم النحر قالت قلت بلى قال : لا بأس انفري قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها : فلقيني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو مصعد من مكة وأنا منهبطة عليها أو أنا مصعدة وهو منهبط منهاThe Shaykh : This is a doubt. The context of the hadith contradicts the well-known account that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated at Saraf, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon her while she was crying and ordered her to combine her Hajj with her 'Umrah, making her a qarin.
