وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، - رضى الله عنه - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذُو الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مَهْيَعَةُ وَهِيَ الْجُحْفَةُ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ قَرْنٌ " . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ - قَالَ " وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمُ " .
Salim b. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar b. al-Khattab Narrated from:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying that the people of Medina should enter upon the state of Ihram at Dhu'l- Hulaifa, the people of Syria at Mahya'a and that is Juhfa, and the people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil). 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: (I did not hear it myself from him) but heard from them saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had (also) said: The people of Yemen should enter upon the state of Ihram at Yalamlam.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1182c
This Hadith gives a clear report about miqat for Ihram. Ibn Umar says he heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم name the place for the people of Medina as Dhu'l-Hulaifa, for the people of Syria as Mahya'a, also called Juhfa, and for the people of Najd as Qarn. He then adds a careful note: he did not hear the Yemen part directly from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, but heard others report that the people of Yemen enter Ihram at Yalamlam. The main lesson is simple: Hajj and Umrah begin with ordered limits, not random choice. The narration also shows honesty in reporting, because Ibn Umar separates what he heard directly from what reached him through others.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ihram has named starting points for different routes.
- Dhu'l-Hulaifa, Juhfa, Qarn and Yalamlam are linked with specific people in the report.
- Ibn Umar carefully separates direct hearing from what others narrated.
- Pilgrimage practice is shown as ordered and traceable.
