Ibrāhīm, the son of Allah’s messengerﷺ from Mariyah the Copt, passed away at one and half years of age.
‘Adi ibn Hatim came to the Prophet ﷺ and accepted Islam and remained true to his declaration.
Musaylimah the Impostor claimed Prophethood and sent a letter to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ saying therein that he is the Prophet’s partner in his role as a messenger, so he responded, rejecting him and declaring him a liar.
The Farewell Pilgrimage, also called the Pilgrimage of Conveyance (balāgh) and the Pilgrimage of Islam, happened this year. It was called the Farewell Pilgrimage because he ﷺ the people farewell in it. It was named the Pilgrimage of Islam because it was the only pilgrimage he ﷺ undertook from Medina, even though he ﷺ performed the pilgrimage on numerous occasions whilst in Mecca. Furthermore, it was called the Pilgrimage of Conveyance because he ﷺ conveyed to the people Allah’s laws on how to perform the hajj, both verbally and practically, and nothing of the pillars of Islam and its foundations remained except that of Stard and its to it thatom he had clarified them. When he ﷺ demonstrated to them how to legally perform the pilgrimage (hajj), and explained and clarified it, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to him as he stood in ‘Arafah, ‘Today, I have perfected for you your religion and have completed My favour upon you and I am pleased for Islam to be your religion’ [Qur’an 5: 3].
He ﷺ left Medina on Saturday, five days before the end of the month of Dhu al-Qa’dah; all of his wives were with him on this pilgrimage, and he ﷺ entered the iḥrām from Dhu al-Hulayfah. They [the scholars] have differed over his iḥrām [i.e. what type of hajj did he intend to perform]; the predominant opinion is that he eventually performed it as a Qārin [one who performs umrah and hajj simultaneously].When they arrived at Dhū al-Ḥulayfah, Asma’ bint ‘Umays Muḥammad ibn Abi Bakr gave birth to a child,
so he ordered her to have a bath and then tie something around her waist and place a wide piece of cloth over the place of bleeding and initiate the iḥrām.
He ﷺ entered from the top of Mecca during the day on Sunday the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah, and stayed there until the eighth day. During the period of his stay, he would perform the prayers at the house where he had alighted with the Muslims in the outer part of Mecca, shortening the prayers [as he was a traveller] on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. When it was Thursday, late morning, he proceeded, together with the rest of the Muslims, towards Minā and spent Friday night there. He ﷺ stood in ‘Arafah on Friday and delivered a splendid sermon wherein he consolidated the foundations of Islam and destroyed the foundations of polytheism and the Era of Ignorance. He [also] established therein the prohibition of those unlawful matters which are unanimously unlawful according to all the religions: the sanctity of blood, wealth and honour, and placed all the practices of the Era of Ignorance under his feet and abolished them; and he enjoined the good treatment of women, and mentioned the rights that they have and those that they are charged with, and that husbands are obliged to kindly provide them with food and clothing, but he did not stipulate a certain amount, and he permitted husbands to strike them if they allowed to enter their homes anyone they disliked; and he enjoined the Nation (ummah) to adhere strictly to the Book of Allah [Qur’an] and told them that they shall not deviate as long as they adhere to it, and he then told them that they will be held responsible for that; and he asked them what they will say and what they will testify, so they said, ‘We testify that you have conveyed [the message], discharged [the trust] and given sincere counsel,’ so he raised his finger towards the sky and three times sought Allah to be a witness over them and ordered that those present convey to those who were absent.
