أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَلأَهْلِ الشَّامِ الْجُحْفَةَ وَلأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ قَرْنًا وَلأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمَ قَالَ " هُنَّ لَهُمْ وَلِمَنْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِنَّ مِمَّنْ سِوَاهُنَّ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ وَمَنْ كَانَ دُونَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَأَ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ذَلِكَ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ " .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
The Messenger of 'Allah designated Dhul-Hulaifah as the Miqat for the people of Al-Madinah, Al-Juhfah for the people of Ash-sham, Qarn for the people of Najd, and Yalamalam for the people of Yemen. He aid: They are for them and for those who pass by them who are not of their people who intend to perform Hajj and 'Umrah. If a person's place of residence is within the boundary of the Miqat, then (he should enter into Ihram) from where he starts his journey, and this also applies to the people of Makkah.''

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2657
This hadith about Miqat for Hajj and Umrah is one of the clearest narrations in this batch. Ibn Abbas said the Messenger of Allah fixed Dhul-Hulaifah for Al-Madinah, Al-Juhfah for Ash-Sham, Qarn for Najd, and Yalamlam for Yemen. The Prophet then said these places are for their people and for others who pass by them intending Hajj and Umrah. The report also explains that whoever lives inside those points enters Ihram from where he begins, up to the people of Makkah. This hadith is useful for searches like Miqat for Umrah and where to enter Ihram because it includes both the places and who they apply to.
What we learn from this hadith
- Miqat points apply to their people and to others passing by them.
- The wording mentions both Hajj and Umrah intention.
- Those living inside the Miqat begin from where they start their journey.
- The people of Makkah are included at the end of the rule in the narration.
