Chapter: The visit (of the Ka'bah) to perform (Tawaf-al-Ifada) on the Day of Nahr

Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 1733

Narrator:Ā’ishah

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ

حَجَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَفَضْنَا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، فَحَاضَتْ صَفِيَّةُ، فَأَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهَا مَا يُرِيدُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا حَائِضٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ حَابِسَتُنَا هِيَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَفَاضَتْ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اخْرُجُوا ‏"

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: We performed Hajj with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and performed the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr. Safiyyah got her menses and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) desired from her what a husband desires from his wife. I said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, she is having her menses." He said: "Is she going to detain us?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, she had performed the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr." Thereupon, he said: "Then (you can) depart."

In another wording, The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "‘Aqra Halqa (an exclamatory expression denoting annoyance)! Did she perform the Tawāf of Ifādah on the Day of An-Nahr (10th of Dhu al-Hijjah)?’ It was said: ‘Yes.’ The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you can depart (with us)."

Explanation

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned that they performed Hajj with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on the Farewell Hajj, and after they had finished their rituals, they moved on to the Sacred Mosque to perform the Tawāf of Ifādah. His wife Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was with them. When it was the night of departure, Safiyyah got her menses, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) desired from her what a husband desires from his wife. ‘Ā'ishah told him that Safiyyah was having her menses. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) thought that she had got her menses before she made the Tawāf of Ifādah. Since this Tawāf is a major pillar of Hajj without which Hajj is not complete, thus, she would prevent them from leaving Makkah until she attained purity from her menses and made Tawāf. So, he, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him said: "‘Aqra Halqa!", which is a famous statement pronounced without intending its true meaning. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then asked whether she was going to detain them until she attained purity from her menses and made her Tawāf for her Hajj. They told him that she had already performed it before she got her menses. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that she could depart with them, since nothing was left for her to do except the Farewell Tawāf, which she had a concession to leave off.

Explanation in Arabic

ذكرت عائشة رضي الله عنها : أنهم حجوا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حجة الوداع.

فلما قضوا مناسكهم أفاضوا وطافوا بالبيت العتيق، ومعهم زوجه صَفيَّة رضي الله عنها .

فلما كان ليلة النَّفَر، حاضت "صَفيَّة" فجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يريد منها ما يريد الرجل من أهله، فأخبرته عائشة أنها حاضت، فظن صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أدركها الحيض من قبل فلم تطف طواف الإفاضة؛

لأن هذا الطواف ركن لا يتم الحج بدونه، فستمنعهم من الخروج من مكة حتى تطهر وتطوف، فقال تلك الكلمة المشهورة التي تقال على الألسن بدون إرادة معناها الأصلي: عَقْرَى حَلْقَى، قال صلى الله عليه وسلم : أحابستنا هي هنا حتى تنتهي حيضتها وتطوف لحجها؟ فأخبروه أنها قد طافت طواف الإفاضة قبل حيضها، فقال: فلتنفِر، إذ لم يبق عليها إلا طواف الوداع، وهي معذورة في تركه.

  • مشروعية إيقاع طواف الإفاضة يوم النَّحر.
  • استعمال الكناية عما يستحى من التصريح به.
  • جواز الإخبار عما يستحى منه للمصلحة.
  • التحلُّل الثاني يستباح به جميع محظورات الإحرام حتى الجماع.
  • تحريم وطء الحائض.
  • وجوب إعلام وتنبيه من أراد أن يفعل شيئًا محرمًا جاهلًا به.
  • العفو عما يجري استعماله من ألفاظ الدعاء بدون قصد لمعناه.
  • أن طواف الإفاضة ركن من أركان الحج، لا يسقط بحال ولو بحيض.
  • أن على أمير الحج ورئيس الرفقة ونحوهما انتظار من حاضت حتى ينتهي حيضها، وتطوف طواف الحج.
  • عدم صحة طواف الحائض.
  • أن المرأة لا تسافر بدون محرم.
  • حسن رعاية النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لأهله.
  • أن طواف الوداع غيرُ واجب على الحائض، وأنها تخرج، وليس عليها فِداء؛ لتركها الطواف.

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani — Fath al-Bari

قَوْله : ( وَيُذْكَر عَنْ الْقَاسِم وَعُرْوَة وَالْأَسْوَد عَنْ عَائِشَة أَفَاضَتْ صَفِيَّة يَوْم النَّحْر ) وَغَرَضه بِهَذَا أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَة لَمْ يَنْفَرِد عَنْ عَائِشَة بِذَلِكَ , وَإِنَّمَا لَمْ يَجْزِم لِأَنَّ بَعْضهمْ أَوْرَدَهُ بِالْمَعْنَى كَمَا نُبَيِّنهُ , أَمَّا طَرِيق الْقَاسِم فَهِيَ عِنْد مُسْلِم مِنْ طَرِيق أَفْلَحَ بْن حُمَيْدٍ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَائِشَة قَالَتْ " كُنَّا نَتَخَوَّف أَن تَحِيض صَفِيَّة قَبْل أَنْ تُفِيض , فَجَاءَنَا رَسُول اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : أَحَابِسَتنَا صَفِيَّة ؟ قُلْنَا : قَدْ أَفَاضَتْ. قَالَ : فَلَا إِذًا " وَرَوَاهُ أَحْمَد مِنْ وَجْه آخَر عَنْ الْقَاسِم عَنْهَا " أَنَّ صَفِيَّة حَاضَتْ بِمِنًى وَكَانَتْ قَدْ أَفَاضَتْ " الْح…
