In continuation of the previous post: Al-Hajj al-Akbar is the Day of Nahr (sacrifice), the Day of `Eid (10th Dhul Hijjah) and it is not affected with the Day of `Arafah if it comes on Friday or not. The Ahaadeeth: Narrated `Alee رضي الله عنه: “I asked the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم about the day of Al-Hajj Al-Akbar, and he said: “The day of al-Nahr.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (957, 3088) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] Narrated Ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما: On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijjah), the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stood in between the Jamraat (in Minaa) during his Hajj which he performed and said: “This is the day of al-Hajj al-Akbar (the greatest Day of Hajj).” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم started saying repeatedly: “O Allaah! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message).” He then bade the people farewell. The people said: “This is Hajjat-al-Wada`.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (1742)] Narrated `Abdullaah ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم halted on the day of Nahr between the Jamraat (pillars at Minaa) during Hajj which he performed. He asked: “Which is this day?” They replied: This is the day of Nahr (sacrifice). He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “This is the day of greater Hajj.” [Sunan Abu Dawood (1945) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه, on the day of Nahr (i.e. slaughtering of animals for sacrifice), sent me in the company of others to make this announcement: “After this year, no pagan will be allowed to perform the Hajj, and none will be allowed to perform the Tawaaf of the Ka`ba undressed.” And the day of al-Hajj al-Akbar is the day of Nahr, and it called al-Akbar because the people call the `Umra Al-Hajj al-Asghar (i.e. the minor Hajj). Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه threw back the pagans covenant that year, and therefore, no pagan performed the Hajj in the year of Hajj-ul-Wada` of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3177, 4657)] Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه was appointed as an Ameer for this Hajj, this was a year prior to the Farewell Pilgrimage of Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. [Saheeh Muslim (3125)] Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur Rahmaan: Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه said: “During that Hajj (in which Abu Bakr was the chief of the pilgrims) Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه sent me along with announcers on the Day of Nahr in Mina to announce: “No pagans shall perform Hajj after this year, and none shall perform the Tawaaf around the Ka`bah in a naked state.” Humaid bin `Abdur Rahmaan added: Then Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم sent `Alee bin Abu Taalib رضي الله عنه (after Abu Bakr) and ordered him to recite aloud in public Surah al-Bara’ah (Surah al-Tawbah). Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه added: “So `Alee, along with us, recited Bara’ah (loudly) before the people at Mina on the Day of Nahr and announced: “No pagan shall perform Hajj after this year and none shall perform the Tawaaf around the Ka`bah in a naked state.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (369, 4655, 4656)]
