حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يُهِلُّوا مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَأَهْلَ الشَّامِ مِنَ الْجُحْفَةِ وَأَهْلَ نَجْدٍ مِنْ قَرْنٍ . وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - وَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " وَيُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ يَلَمْلَمَ " .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had commanded the people of Medina to enter upon the state of Ihram at Dhu'l-Hulaifa; the people of Syria at Juhfa; the people of Najd at Qarn (al-Manazil). 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: I was informed that he said that the people of Yemen should enter upon the state of Ihram at Yalamlam.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1182d
This narration repeats the miqat for Hajj and Umrah in a direct and practical way. Ibn Umar reports that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم commanded the people of Medina to enter Ihram at Dhu'l-Hulaifa, the people of Syria at Juhfa, and the people of Najd at Qarn. He also says he was informed that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said the people of Yemen should enter Ihram at Yalamlam. The wording highlights a command, so the focus is on following the assigned places when beginning Ihram. It also keeps the chain of knowledge honest by saying, “I was informed,” for the Yemen point. This makes the Hadith useful for anyone searching for miqat places in Islam.
What we learn from this hadith
- The people of each route have a named place for Ihram.
- The command points pilgrims toward order before Hajj or Umrah.
- Ibn Umar reports the Yemen detail with clear wording about how it reached him.
- Miqat knowledge is linked to exact places, not vague intention alone.
