حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ، طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ بِمِنًى لِلنَّاسِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَحَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنْحَرَ . فَقَالَ " اذْبَحْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ " . ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَنَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ فَقَالَ " ارْمِ وَلاَ حَرَجَ " . قَالَ فَمَا سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ شَىْءٍ قُدِّمَ وَلاَ أُخِّرَ إِلاَّ قَالَ " افْعَلْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ " .
Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina for people who had something to ask. A man came and said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant. I shaved before sacrificing, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Now sacrifice (the animal) and there is no harm (for you).Then another man came and he said: Messenger of Allah, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Now) throw the pebbles, and there is no harm (for you). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after (its proper time) but he said: Do it, and no harm is there (for you).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1306a
This Hadith is about ease when a pilgrim made a mistake in the order of Hajj rites. During the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina, people asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم questions. One man said he shaved before sacrificing. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told him to sacrifice and said there was no harm. Another said he sacrificed before throwing the pebbles. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told him to throw and said there was no harm. The narrator then says the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was not asked about something done before or after its time except that he said, “Do it, and no harm is there.” This is a key hadith about no harm in Hajj, shaving before sacrifice, and sacrificing before stoning.
What we learn from this hadith
- A pilgrim who shaved before sacrificing was told to sacrifice and that there was no harm.
- A pilgrim who sacrificed before throwing pebbles was told to throw and that there was no harm.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم answered people’s Hajj questions with ease in this situation.
- The Hadith speaks about actions done before or after in the rites mentioned.
