1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and from Safwan ibn Yahya Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

“Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘It is of the completion of al-Hajj and al-‘Umrah to assume the state of Ihram from Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) which are designated by the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. You must not pass them without assuming the state of Ihram. For the people of Iraq, he (the Messenger of Allah) assigned a place, and there were no people of Iraq, which is Batn al-‘Aqiq. In those days there was no Iraq. Batn al-‘Aqiq was for people from the direction of Iraq. He (the Messenger of Allah) designated Yalamlam for people of Yemen. Qarn al-Manazil is for people of Ta’if. Al-Juhfah is for people of al-Maghrib and it is Mahya‘. He (the Messenger of Allah) designated Dhu al-Hulayfah for people of al-Madinah. Those whose homes are behind these Mawaqit (places for assuming the state of Ihram) toward Makkah then their home is Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) for them.”’
