Sahih Muslim — Hadith #10373

(Muhammad ibn Hatim and Abd ibn Humayd both narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Bakir. Abd said): Muhammad informed us. Ibn Jurayj informed us. Abu al-Zubayr informed me, who heard it when Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the place of ihram. Abu al-Zubayr said, "I think he attributed the hadith to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The place of ihram is Dhul-Hulayfa, the other way is Juhfa; the place of ihram for the people of Iraq is Dhul-Irq, the place of ihram for the people of Najd is Qarn, and the place of ihram for the people of Yemen is Yalamlam." He says: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) determined it." The evidence of those who say this is this hadith. However, it is not established because Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) did not definitively attribute the hadith to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for Daraqutni's statement, "This hadith is weak because Iraq had not yet been conquered during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)," he is right in considering the hadith weak. However, his use of the fact that Iraq had not been conquered as evidence of its weakness is flawed. Because it is not impossible that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) foretold its future conquest, and that this was one of the miracles of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)...» After this, he stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed about many things concerning the future, and that there are many hadiths that he did not mention in this chapter. This is the old name of Juhfa. According to Nawawi, Hajj has both spatial and temporal miqat (boundaries for entering the state of ihram). The temporal miqat (i.e., the time for Hajj) is the first ten days of Shawwal, Dhu al-Qadah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. It is not permissible to enter the state of ihram for Hajj outside of these times. Only Umrah is permissible outside of these times.
