Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5344

Jabir reports that the Messenger of Allah entered the city wearing a black turban, and the narration also states that he was not in Ihram. The main search phrase is Prophet entered Makkah wearing black turban. The text should be read as it stands. It tells us what he wore and mentions his state as not being in Ihram. It does not ask us to draw broad claims about every journey or every entry into Makkah. The teaching is to value accurate wording and to notice the details that the narrator chose to preserve.
