(Book 20, Hadith 103) #35866
The Journey of an Old Man to Makka

SUMMARY: A very old man from Basra was travelling to Makka but broke his thigh on the way. He sent a message to Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Umar who were in Makka, but no one allowed him to leave ihram. He stayed there for seven months until he left ihram by doing an umra.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as- Sakhtiyani that a very old man from Basra once said to him, "I set out for Makka but on the way there I broke my thigh, so I sent a message on to Makka Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Umar and the people were there, but no-one allowed me to leave ihram, and I stayed there for seven months until I left ihram by doing an umra'.'
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ كَانَ قَدِيمًا أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ كُسِرَتْ فَخِذِي فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَبِهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَالنَّاسُ فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لِي أَحَدٌ أَنْ أَحِلَّ فَأَقَمْتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ حَتَّى أَحْلَلْتُ بِعُمْرَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells the story of a very old man from Basra who was travelling to Mecca for pilgrimage. On his journey, he broke his thigh and sent a message ahead of him to two people in Mecca - Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Umar - asking them if he could leave ihram, which is the special attire worn during pilgrimage. However, no one allowed him to do so and he stayed there for seven months until he eventually left by performing an umra instead. This hadith teaches us that we should always be patient when faced with difficult situations and that we should never give up hope even when things seem impossible because Allah will always provide us with solutions if we are patient enough. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to help each other out in times of need as well as how important it is for us all to follow the rules set out by Allah during our pilgrimages or any other religious activities we may undertake.
