أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَعَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى ضُبَاعَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي شَاكِيَةٌ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ . فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " حُجِّي وَاشْتَرِطِي إِنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي " . قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ هِشَامٌ وَالزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لاَ أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَسْنَدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ غَيْرَ مَعْمَرٍ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Duba'ah bint Az-Zubair bin 'Abdul-Muttalib came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'I am a heavy woman and I want to go for Hajj. How do I begin the Ihram?' He said: 'Enter Ihram and stipulate the condition that you will exit Ihram from the point where you are prevented (from continuing, if some problem should arise). (Sahih) Ishaq said: I said to 'Abdur-Razzaq: Both from 'Aishah, HIsham and Az-Zuhir? He said: "Yes" Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: I do not know of anyone who narrated this chain from Az-Zuhri except Ma'mar.
[1] That is from Hishâm bin 'Urwah and Az-Zuhrî; both reported it from 'Urwah, from 'Aishah.Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 2768In-book reference : Book 24, Hadith 150English translation : Vol. 3, Book 24, Hadith 2769
Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2768
This Hadith reports that the Messenger of Allah entered upon Duba'ah, and she said she was unwell and wanted to perform Hajj. He told her to perform Hajj and to stipulate: my place of exiting Ihram is where You stop me. This wording is direct and tied to her situation. It is a useful Hadith for searches such as Hajj while ill, stipulating condition in Hajj, and conditional Ihram. The report also includes a note from the narrators about the chain, but the teaching in the translation centers on Duba'ah's request and the Prophet's answer. The Hadith shows care for a worshipper who wants to perform Hajj despite difficulty.
What we learn from this hadith
- Duba'ah wanted Hajj even while she was unwell.
- The Prophet told her to perform Hajj with a condition.
- The condition mentioned exiting Ihram where she was stopped.
- The report keeps the ruling connected to her stated situation.
