turned to them and said: "Calmly, calmly, 0 people." When he came
to Muhassir, he made his mount speed up, until he came out of it,
then he went back to his previous speed. After he had done the
symbolic stoning of the devil, he came to the place of sacrifice and
said: "This is the place of sacrifice, and all of Mina is a place of
sacrifice."
A yonng woman from Khath'am came to him and said: My
father is an old man, and he has become senile. Now the command of
Allah (g) for hajj has come, and he cannot perform it; can I do it on
his behalf? The Messenger of Allah (g) said: "Yes," and he started
turning the face of Fad1 ihn al-'Ahbb away from her. Then another
man came to him and said: I stoned the devil and did the taw% of hajj
and exited ihr%m, hut I did not shave my head. He said: "It doesn't
matter; shave your head." Another man came to him and said: I
stoned the devil and shaved my head and exited ihrh, hut I did not
offer a sacrifice. He said: "It does not matter; offer your sacrifice."
Then the Messenger of Allah (g) did the tawif of hajj. After
that, he called for a bucket of Zamzam water, drank from it and made
ablutions. Then he said: "Draw water from Zamzam to give to the
pilgrims.517 0 Banu 'Ahdul-Muwb, were it not for my fear that it
may he taken from I would have drawn water." Al-'Ahhk
said: "0 Messenger of Allah, why did I see you turning the face of
your nephew away?" He said: "I saw a young man and a yonng
woman, and I feared for them with regard to the 'Mi(4)
announced to the people whatever the Prophet (gJ commanded him.
It was narrated from 'Amr ibn Saleem that his mother said: "While
we were in Mina, we saw 'Ali ibn Ahi T%lib (&) saying: The
Messenger of Allah (8) says: 'These are the days of eating and
drinking, so no one sh&d fast.' And he followed the people on his
camel, shouting that."520
