أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَافَى، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَّتَ لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَلأَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَمِصْرَ الْجُحْفَةَ وَلأَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ ذَاتَ عِرْقٍ وَلأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمَ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2653
This hadith about Miqat expands the list of appointed places for Ihram. Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah designated Dhul-Hulaifah for the people of Al-Madinah, Al-Juhfah for the people of Ash-Sham and Egypt, Dhat Irq for the people of Iraq, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. The narration is direct and location-focused. For people searching Miqat for Hajj, it helps identify the named starting points for Ihram by region.
