أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَأَهْلُ الشَّامِ مِنَ الْجُحْفَةِ وَأَهْلُ نَجْدٍ مِنْ قَرْنٍ " . وَذُكِرَ لِي وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " وَيُهِلُّ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ يَلَمْلَمَ " .
Salim Narrated from:
It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet said: "The people of Al-Madinah should enter into Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifah, the people of Ash-sham from Al-Juhfah, the people of Najd from Qarn." And it was mentioned to me, although I did not hear him say it: "And the people of Yemen should enter into Ihram from Yalamlam.;

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2655
This hadith about regional Miqat points reports that the people of Al-Madinah enter Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifah, the people of Ash-Sham from Al-Juhfah, and the people of Najd from Qarn. The narrator then says it was mentioned to him, though he did not hear it directly, that the people of Yemen enter Ihram from Yalamlam. The hadith is valuable for search terms like Hajj Miqat places and Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifah because it names the starting points by region. It also teaches careful speech in transmitting hadith: the narrator makes a clear difference between what was heard and what was only mentioned to him.
What we learn from this hadith
- Dhul-Hulaifah, Al-Juhfah, and Qarn are named as regional Miqat points.
- Yalamlam is mentioned with a careful note from the narrator.
- The narration connects Ihram with specific routes and people.
- Careful reporting is shown by saying what was not heard directly.
