Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الحج باب ما جاء من أى موضع أحرم النبى
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِىُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْحَجَّ أَذَّنَ فِى النَّاسِ فَاجْتَمَعُوا فَلَمَّا أَتَى الْبَيْدَاءَ أَحْرَمَ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسٍ وَالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Jābir Ibn-'Abdullāh said, "When the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, decided to perform the pilgrimage (1) he made the announcement and people gathered [in Madīnah]. When he reached al-Baydā' (2) he entered into the state of consecration (3, 4)."
(1) (Ḥajj) The pilgrimage to Makkah and Madīnah during the first half of the month of Thūl-Ḥijjah, which is the fifth pillar of Islām. (2) Al-Baydā' is an area outside Madīnah near Thū-Ḥulayfah. (3) (Iḥrām) A state of sanctity for the rituals of pilgrimage (4) The meaning intended is that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, re-entered the state of consecration, or that his entry into consecration became apparent. This is in line with other evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, entered the state of consecration at the Mosque of Thū-Ḥulayfah. When travelling from Madīnah to Makkah, one comes across the Mosque of Thū-Ḥulayfah before al-Baydā'.
