(Book 20, Hadith 121) #35884
Tawaf of the House - A Final Rite in Hajj

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of performing tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba as a final rite in Hajj.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "No-one should leave the hajj until he has done tawaf of the House, and tawaf of the House is the final rite". Malik said, commenting about Umar ibn al-Khattab's saying 'tawaf of the House is the final rite,' "In our opinion, and Allah knows best, that is because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'Whoever exalts the rituals of Allah - that is from the taqwa of the hearts' (Sura 22 ayat 32), and He says, 'Then their halal place (of sacrifice) is at the Ancient House,' and the place of all the rituals and where they end is therefore at the Ancient House".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ لاَ يَصْدُرَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْحَاجِّ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّ آخِرَ النُّسُكِ الطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي قَوْلِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ آخِرَ النُّسُكِ الطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ - فِيمَا نُرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ - لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ‏{‏وَمَنْ يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ‏}‏ وَقَالَ ‏{‏ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ‏}‏ فَمَحِلُّ الشَّعَائِرِ كُلِّهَا وَانْقِضَاؤُهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Yahya, Malik, Nafi, Abdullah ibn Umar and Umar ibn al-Khattab. It talks about the importance of performing tawaf or circumambulation around the Kaaba as a final rite in Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that no one should leave until they have done this ritual which is also known as 'tawaf of the House'. This act has been mentioned in Quran where Allah says that whoever exalts His rituals will be rewarded with taqwa or piety from their hearts and that their place for sacrifice is at the Ancient House which refers to Kaaba itself. Therefore it can be concluded that this ritual has great significance for Muslims who are undertaking hajj pilgrimage and must not be neglected or left out from it.
