أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الْمُعَافَى، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَلأَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَمِصْرَ الْجُحْفَةَ وَلأَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ ذَاتَ عِرْقٍ وَلأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ قَرْنًا وَلأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمَ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2656
This hadith about five Miqat locations gives a fuller list in one report. Aishah said 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, Qarn for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. This makes the narration useful for anyone searching Miqat names for Hajj and Umrah. The text is focused on places, not on detailed travel rules. Its message is that pilgrims have appointed locations for beginning Ihram, and those locations are connected to their region or route. It is clear, practical guidance for entering worship properly.
