باب علل الحج قال الشيخ مصنف هذا الكتاب - رحمه الله -: قد أخرجت أسانيد العلل التي أنا ذاكرها عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وعن الأئمة عليهم السلام في كتابي جامع علل الحج.

The author of this book, Shaykh (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him), states: "I have compiled the chains of transmission for the causes (and wisdoms) of Hajj, which I will mention here, as narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and the Imams (as), in my book titled Jami‘ ‘Ilal al-Hajj (The Compilation of the Causes of Hajj)."

Ḥadīth 1

2109 - قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «سُمِّيَتِ اَلْكَعْبَةُ كَعْبَةً لِأَنَّهَا وَسَطُ اَلدُّنْيَا ».

Hadith.2109 - The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "The Ka'bah was named 'Ka'bah' because it is the center of the world."

Ḥadīth 2

2110 - وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ : أَنَّهُ «إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ كَعْبَةً لِأَنَّهَا مُرَبَّعَةٌ وَ صَارَتْ مُرَبَّعَةً لِأَنَّهَا بِحِذَاءِ اَلْبَيْتِ اَلْمَعْمُورِ وَ هُوَ مُرَبَّعٌ وَ صَارَ اَلْبَيْتُ اَلْمَعْمُورُ مُرَبَّعاً لِأَنَّهُ بِحِذَاءِ اَلْعَرْشِ وَ هُوَ مُرَبَّعٌ وَ صَارَ اَلْعَرْشُ مُرَبَّعاً لِأَنَّ اَلْكَلِمَاتِ اَلَّتِي بُنِيَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْإِسْلاَمُ أَرْبَعٌ وَ هِيَ: سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ».

Hadith.2110 - It is narrated: "The Ka'bah was named 'Ka'bah' because it is cubical in shape. It became cubical because it is directly beneath the Bayt al-Ma‘mur, which is also cubical. The Bayt al-Ma‘mur became cubical because it is directly beneath the Throne (‘Arsh), which is cubical as well. The Throne is cubical because the foundational words upon which Islam is built are four: Subhan Allah (swt) (Glory be to Allah (swt)), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah (swt)), La ilaha illa Allah (swt) (There is no god but Allah (swt)), and Allahu Akbar (Allah (swt) is the Greatest)."

Ḥadīth 3

2111 - وَ سُمِّيَ بَيْتُ اَللَّهِ اَلْحَرَامَ لِأَنَّهُ حُرِّمَ عَلَى اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهُ.

Hadith.2111 - The House of Allah (swt), the Sacred (Bayt Allah (swt) al-Haram), was so named because it was made forbidden (haram) for the polytheists to enter it.

Ḥadīth 5

2113 - وَ رُوِيَ : «أَنَّهُ سُمِّيَ اَلْعَتِيقَ لِأَنَّهُ بَيْتٌ عَتِيقٌ مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ وَ لَمْ يَمْلِكْهُ أَحَدٌ ».

Hadith.2114 - The House (Ka'bah) was placed in the center of the Earth because it is the spot from beneath which the Earth was spread out, and so that its obligation could be equal for the people of both the East and the West.

2116 - وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَ مَقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ لِأَنَّ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَقَاماً فِي اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَقَاماً فَمَقَامُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ رَبِّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ شِمَالِ عَرْشِهِ ، فَمَقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي مَقَامِهِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ عَرْشُ رَبِّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ وَ صَارَ اَلرُّكْنُ اَلشَّامِيُّ مُتَحَرِّكاً فِي اَلشِّتَاءِ وَ اَلصَّيْفِ وَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ اَلنَّهَارِ لِأَنَّ اَلرِّيحَ مَسْجُونَةٌ تَحْتَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَ اَلْبَيْتُ مُرْتَفِعاً يُصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ بِالدَّرَجِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمَّا هَدَمَ اَلْحَجَّاجُ اَلْكَعْبَةَ فَرَّقَ اَلنَّاسُ تُرَابَهَا، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَبْنُوهَا خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ حَيَّةٌ فَمَنَعَتِ اَلنَّاسَ اَلْبِنَاءَ فَأُتِيَ اَلْحَجَّاجُ فَأُخْبِرَ فَسَأَلَ اَلْحَجَّاجُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «مُرِ اَلنَّاسَ أَنْ لاَ يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً إِلاَّ رَدَّهُ» فَلَمَّا اِرْتَفَعَتْ حِيطَانُهُ أَمَرَ بِالتُّرَابِ فَأُلْقِيَ فِي جَوْفِهِ فَلِذَلِكَ صَارَ اَلْبَيْتُ مُرْتَفِعاً يُصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ بِالدَّرَجِ وَ صَارَ اَلنَّاسُ يَطُوفُونَ حَوْلَ اَلْحِجْرِ وَ لاَ يَطُوفُونَ فِيهِ لِأَنَّ أُمَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ دُفِنَتْ فِي اَلْحِجْرِ فَفِيهِ قَبْرُهَا فَطِيفَ كَذَلِكَ كَيْلاَ يُوطَأَ قَبْرُهَا».

Hadith.2116 - The station of Ibrahim (Maqam Ibrahim) is situated to the left because Ibrahim (as) has a position on the Day of Judgment, as does Muhammad (sw) (peace be upon him and his family). The position of Muhammad (sw) is to the right of the Divine Throne, while the position of Ibrahim (as) is to its left. This earthly location of the Maqam Ibrahim corresponds to Ibrahim's position in the Hereafter, while the Throne of Allah (swt) (glorified and exalted) is ever-facing and not turned away. The Syrian Corner of the Ka'bah moves during the winter and summer, day and night, due to the winds trapped beneath it. The Ka'bah is elevated, and people ascend to it via steps because when Al-Hajjaj destroyed the Ka'bah, the people dispersed its soil. When they sought to rebuild it, a serpent emerged and prevented them from continuing. When Al-Hajjaj was informed, he consulted Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as), who instructed that everyone return the soil they had taken. After the walls were raised, the remaining soil was placed inside the Ka'bah, leading to its elevated state, requiring steps for access. As for why people circumambulate the Hijr Ismail without entering it, it is because the grave of Ismail’s mother (peace be upon her) is located within the Hijr. Circumambulating around it was established so that her grave would not be stepped upon.

Hadith.2118 - It is named Bakkah because people crowd against one another there, pressing with their hands.

Ḥadīth 11

Hadith.2119 - It is narrated that it was named Bakkah because of the weeping of people around and within it.

Ḥadīth 12

It is narrated: "There is an announcement made at the Hajar (stone): 'Whoever has run out of provisions should come forward, and it will be provided to them.'"

Ḥadīth 13

2120 - وَ إِنَّمَا هَدَمَتْ قُرَيْشٌ اَلْكَعْبَةَ لِأَنَّ اَلسَّيْلَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَدْخُلُهَا فَانْصَدَعَتْ ».

Hadith.2121 - And it is narrated: Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious: “...wherein the residents and the visitors are equal...” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:25). Imam (as) replied: "It was not appropriate to construct doors on the houses of Mecca because the pilgrims had the right to stay with the residents in their courtyards until they completed their rituals. The first to place doors on the houses of Mecca was Muawiyah."

Ḥadīth 15

2122 - وَ حُرِّمَ اَلْمَسْجِدُ لِعِلَّةِ اَلْكَعْبَةِ وَ حُرِّمَ اَلْحَرَمُ لِعِلَّةِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ وَجَبَ اَلْإِحْرَامُ لِعِلَّةِ اَلْحَرَمِ ».

Hadith.2123 - "Indeed, Allah {SWT}, the Blessed and Exalted, made the Kaaba the Qibla for the people of the mosque, and He made the mosque the Qibla for the people of the sanctuary, and He made the sanctuary the Qibla for the people of the world. And the Talbiyah was instituted because when Allah {SWT}, Mighty and Majestic, said to Ibrahim, peace be upon him: 'And proclaim the Hajj to the people; they will come to you on foot' (Surah Al-Hajj 22:27), he called out, and it was answered by people from every distant pass, responding with the Talbiyah."

Ḥadīth 17

2124 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي اَلْحُسَيْنِ اَلْأَسَدِيِّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ اَلدَّارِمِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّلْبِيَةِ وَ عِلَّتِهَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ إِذَا أَحْرَمُوا نَادَاهُمُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ «عِبَادِي وَ إِمَائِي لَأُحَرِّمَنَّكُمْ عَلَى اَلنَّارِ كَمَا أَحْرَمْتُمْ لِي» فَقَوْلُهُمْ لَبَّيْكَ اَللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ إِجَابَةٌ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى نِدَائِهِ لَهُمْ.

Hadith.2124 - In a narration from Abu Al-Husayn Al-Asadi, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Ja'far bin Uthman Al-Darimi, from Sulayman bin Ja'far, he said: "I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about the Talbiyah and its reason. Imam (as) said: 'Indeed, when people enter Ihram, Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, calls out to them, saying, "My servants and handmaids, I will make you forbidden upon the Fire just as you have entered Ihram for Me." Thus, their saying, 'Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik' (Here I am, O Allah (swt), Here I am) is a response to Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, for His call to them.'

Ḥadīth 18

2125 - وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ يَوْمَ اَلتَّرْوِيَةِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِعَرَفَاتٍ مَاءٌ وَ كَانُوا يَسْتَقُونَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ لِرَيِّهِمْ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ تَرَوَّيْتُمْ تَرَوَّيْتُمْ فَسُمِّيَ يَوْمَ اَلتَّرْوِيَةِ لِذَلِكَ ».

Hadith.2125 - The Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah) was named so because there was no water in Arafat, and people would bring water from Makkah to quench their thirst. They would say to one another, 'Have you provided water for yourselves? Have you provided water for yourselves?' Thus, it was named the Day of Tarwiyah for this reason.

Ḥadīth 19

2126 - وَ سُمِّيَتْ مِنًى مِنًى لِأَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَتَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى مُنًى فَسَمَّاهَا اَلنَّاسُ مِنًى.

Hadith.2126 - "It was named Mina because Archangel Jibril (as) came to Ibrahim (as) and said to him: 'Wish (tamanna), O Ibrahim.' It was initially called Munaa, and the people named it Mina."

Ḥadīth 20

2127 - وَ رُوِيَ : «إِنَّهَا سُمِّيَتْ مِنًى لِأَنَّ، إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ تَمَنَّى هُنَاكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ اَللَّهُ مَكَانَ اِبْنِهِ كَبْشاً يَأْمُرُهُ بِذَبْحِهِ فِدْيَةً لَهُ ».

Hadith.2128 - "It was named Al-Khaif because it is elevated above the valley, and everything that rises above the valley is called 'Khaif.'"

Ḥadīth 22

2129 - وَ إِنَّمَا صُيِّرَ اَلْمَوْقِفُ بِالْمَشْعَرِ وَ لَمْ يُصَيَّرْ بِالْحَرَمِ لِأَنَّ اَلْكَعْبَةَ بَيْتُ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْحَرَمَ حِجَابُهُ وَ اَلْمَشْعَرَ بَابُهُ فَلَمَّا قَصَدَهُ اَلزَّائِرُونَ أَوْقَفَهُمْ بِالْبَابِ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ حَتَّى أَذِنَ لَهُمْ بِالدُّخُولِ ثُمَّ أَوْقَفَهُمْ بِالْحِجَابِ اَلثَّانِي وَ هُوَ مُزْدَلِفَةُ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَى طُولِ تَضَرُّعِهِمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِتَقَرُّبِ قُرْبَانِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَرَّبُوا وَ قَضَوْا تَفَثَهُمْ وَ تَطَهَّرُوا مِنَ اَلذُّنُوبِ اَلَّتِي كَانَتْ لَهُمْ حِجَاباً دُونَهُ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالزِّيَارَةِ عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ ».

Hadith.2129 - The standing was appointed at Al-Mash'ar and not within the Haram because the Kaaba is the House of Allah (swt), the Haram is its veil, and Al-Mash'ar is its door. When the visitors sought to approach, He made them stand at the door, pleading until He permitted them to enter. Then He made them stand at the second veil, which is Muzdalifah. When He observed their prolonged supplications, He commanded them to bring their sacrifices. Once they had offered their sacrifices, completed their rituals, and cleansed themselves of the sins that had served as barriers between them and Him, He commanded them to visit Him in a state of purity.

2134 - وَ سُمِّيَ اَلْأَبْطَحُ أَبْطَحاً لِأَنَّ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَنْبَطِحَ فِي بَطْحَاءِ جَمْعٍ فَانْبَطَحَ حَتَّى اِنْفَجَرَ اَلصُّبْحُ وَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالاِعْتِرَافِ لِيَكُونَ سُنَّةً فِي وُلْدِهِ وَ أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِلْعَبَّاسِ أَنْ يَبِيتَ بِمَكَّةَ لَيَالِيَ مِنًى مِنْ أَجْلِ سِقَايَةِ اَلْحَاجِّ وَ إِنَّمَا أَحْرَمَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مِنَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ فَكَانَ بِالْمَوْضِعِ اَلَّذِي بِحِذَاءِ اَلشَّجَرَةِ نُودِيَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ «لَبَّيْكَ» قَالَ ۝أَ لَمْ أَجِدْكَ يَتِيماً فَآوَيْتُ وَ وَجَدْتُكَ ضَالاًّ فَهَدَيْتُ ۝ فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «اَلْحَمْدُ وَ اَلنِّعْمَةُ وَ اَلْمُلْكُ لَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ» فَلِذَلِكَ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ دُونَ اَلْمَوَاضِعِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَمَّا تَقْلِيدُ اَلْبُدْنِ فَلِيُعْرَفَ أَنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ وَ يَعْرِفُهَا صَاحِبُهَا بِنَعْلِهِ اَلَّذِي يُقَلِّدُهَا بِهِ وَ اَلْإِشْعَارُ إِنَّمَا أُمِرَ بِهِ لِيَحْرُمَ ظَهْرُهَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَشْعَرَهَا وَ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعَ اَلشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَتَسَنَّمَهَا ».

Hadith.2134 - Al-Abtah was named 'Abtah' because Adam (as) was commanded to prostrate himself in the flat expanse of Jam’ until dawn broke. Adam was commanded to make this confession so that it would become a tradition among his descendants. The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, granted permission to Al-Abbas to stay in Makkah during the nights of Mina to provide water for the pilgrims. The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, entered Ihram from the tree (Dhul-Hulayfah) because, when he was taken on the Night Journey to the heavens, he was at the place opposite the tree and was called out, 'O Muhammad.' He (sw) replied: 'Here I am.' Then it was said, 'Did We not find you an orphan and shelter you? And We found you wandering and guided you?' (Surah Ad-Duha 93:6-7). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, responded: 'All praise, blessings, and sovereignty belong to You; You have no partner.' For this reason, He (sw) entered Ihram from the tree instead of any other location. As for marking the sacrificial animals with necklaces (taqlid), it is so they can be recognized as sacrificial animals, and the owner can identify them by the sandal tied as their necklace. Marking (ish’ar) was commanded to ensure the animal's back would be forbidden for its owner to use once it was marked, and so Satan would not be able to mount it.
