No person should be alone with a woman except when there is a mahram -muslim

Ibn 'Abbas (RadhiAllahu 'anhuma) reported:

I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ delivering a sermon and making this observation:

"No person should be alone with a woman except when there is a mahram with her, and the woman should not undertake journey except with a mahram."

A person stood up and said: Allah's Messenger ﷺ, my wife has set out for pilgrimage, whereas I am enlisted to fight in such and such battle,

whereupon he ﷺ said:" You go and perform Hajj with your wife."

Good deeds done on first ten days of Dhul Hijja

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions of the Prophet said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any of those things."

Permission of Hajj and `Umrah through representative

Laqit bin `Amir (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

I came to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Perform Hajj and `Umrah on behalf of your father.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary:
This Hadith also stresses permission of Hajj through representative where a person is not capable of doing it. But it is essential that the representative agent must have already performed Hajj.

Best Deeds in Islam after having Faith in Allah swt and His Messenger (pbuh)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked, "Which deed is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied,

"Faith in Allah and His Messenger.'' He (PBUH) was asked, "What is next?'' He (PBUH) replied, "Jihad (holy fighting) in the Cause of Allah.'' Then he was asked: "What is after that (in goodness)?'' He (PBUH) replied, "Hajj Mabrur (which is accepted by Allah).''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
Different acts have been regarded more meritorious in different Ahadith. For this reason, some scholars have performed the justification that the word mun "whoever" is the keynote in such cases. That is, such and such acts come in the category of eminent acts or they have been mentioned with reference to circumstances and time or place. For instance, at certain times or at certain places or for certain persons, performing Salat in the early prescribed hours is more meritorious, or Hajj through representative or Jihad is more meritorious, etc.

Some scholars are of the opinion that the eminence of different acts has been stressed keeping the person addressed in view.

Those who believe in Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) are required to do what they are ordained and abstain from what they are forbidden

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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 (PBUH) remained silent till the man repeated it thrice. Then he (PBUH) 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]

Commentary:

This Hadith brings out the following points:
1. Hajj is compulsory once in a lifetime for those who have the means for it.
2. Unnecessary questioning is disliked.
3. Those who believe in Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) are required to do what they are ordained and abstain from what they are forbidden.

Hajj Mabrur (accepted Hajj) makes a muslim pure and free of sins

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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].

Commentary:
The true meanings of "Rafath'' sexual intercourse but it also signifies obscene and frivolous talk and the expression of sexual desire to one's wife. Since coition with one's wife is forbidden during Hajj, so conversation with her on this subject or talking for amusement is also disliked. "Fisq'' means disobedience of Allah and quarrelling with people. One must avoid both of them during Hajj. The Hajj which is performed with all these restrictions, has the merit that one is totally purged of sins. But this purification is from sins which come in the category of minor sins and which relate to the Rights of Allah. Major sins relating to the Rights of Allah and lapses in respect of the rights of people are not pardoned without sincere repentance and compensation to the aggrieved.

Excellence of an accepted pilgrimage (Hajj)

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was asked: "Which deed is the best?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "Hajj Mabrur (an accepted pilgrimage).''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
This Hadith points out the fact that Hajj is one of the most prominent religious acts, provided it is done sincerely and keeping oneself away from sins. Some people have interpreted the word "Hajj Mabrur'' as an accepted Hajj. They say that the sign of an accepted Hajj is that one becomes a true worshipper of Allah, which he was previously not.

The best Jihad for women is 'Hajj Mabrur'

`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 (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "The best Jihad for you women is Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted by Allah).''

[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary:
In ordinary circumstances, Hajj is the best of Jihad for women because in Islam, politics, economy, government, military affairs etc., come in the purview of men and men alone. Women are exempted from all such matters. However, in case of war, if the need arises, women can be engaged for supply of food, first-aid of the wounded etc., on the internal front, provided they can do such works without crossing the bounds of the Islamic-type veil. But imparting military training to women and dispatching them to war front are sheer imitations of the western nations for which there is no scope in the teachings of Islam. This Hadith also confirms this view.

Allah SWT frees more slaves from Hell on Arafah day

`Aishah (RadiAllahu 'anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"There is no day on which Allah sets free more slaves from Hell than He does on the Day of `Arafah.''

[Muslim].

Commentary:
Almighty Allah emancipates most of His slaves, both men and women from the Hell-fire on this great day. Millions of pilgrims, who by virtue of their sincere repentance, try to seek the Pleasure of Allah certainly stand to earn Allah's Pardon for their sins and thereby emancipation from the Hell-fire. May Allah grant us this grace of His.

Reward for Hajj and Umrah

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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].

Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that the merit of `Umrah is that it is an expiation for sins. But this, too, is an expiation for minor sins. `Umrah includes assuming Ihram, circumambulation of Ka`bah, going between As-Safa and Al-Marwah and Halq or Taqsir (shaving of head or cutting hair). Whether or not `Umrah is an obligation like Hajj is arguable among the `Ulama'. Some people, like Imam As-Shafi`i, hold that it is obligatory; others like the followers of the Hanafi school of thought regard it Sunnah Mu`akkadah; still others think it to be voluntary. Imam Al-Bukhari is inclined to the first view which is also endorsed by sayings of some Companions of the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) about which some Muhaddithun (scholars of Hadith) have even claimed that these sayings are Mausul, the chain of narrators reaches up to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). (For further details, please see Fath Al-Bari.) Otherwise, the view that it is non-obligatory is preferable.

Pilgrimage to Makkah ( Hajj ) is a pillar of Islam

Ibn `Umar (RadhiAllahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"(The superstructure of) Islam is based on five (pillars),

1. Testifying the fact that La ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammad-ar-Rasul-ullah [there is no true God except Allah, and Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the Messenger of Allah],

2. Establishing As-Salat (the prayers),

3. Paying Zakat (poor due),

4. The pilgrimage to the House [of Allah (Ka`bah)], and

5. The Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
