1545. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: The Prophet ﷺ, with his Companions departed from Al-Madīna after combing and oiling his hair and putting on two sheets of Iḥrām - Riḍa (upper body-cover) and Izār (lower body-cover). He did not forbid anyone to wear any kind of sheets except the ones coloured with saffron because they may leave scent on the skin. And so in the morning, the Prophet ﷺ mounted his Rāhila (mount) while in Dhul-Hulaifa and proceeded till they reached Al-Baidā, where he and his Companions recited Talbīya, and then he did the ceremony of Taqḥīd (which means to put the coloured rope garland around the neck) of his Badana (camel for sacrifice). And that was on the 25th of Dhul-Qa'da. When he reached Makkah on the 4th of Dhul-Hijjah, performed the Tawāf round the Ka'bah and the Sā'y (going) between Aṣ-Ṣafa and Al-Marwa(1). And as he had garlanded his Badana, he did not finish his Iḥrām. He proceeded towards the highest places of Makkah near Al-Ḥujūn and he was assuming the Iḥrām for Hajj and did not go near the Ka'bah after he performed Tawāf (round it) till he returned from 'Arafāt. Then he ordered his Companions to perform the Tawāf round the Ka'bah and then the Sā'y of Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa, and to cut short the hair of their heads and to finish their Iḥrām. And that was only for those people who did not have Badana (camels etc., for sacrifice) and had not garlanded them. Those who had their wives with them were permitted to contact them (can have sexual relations), and similarly can use perfume and wear (ordinary) clothes. [Then they assumed their Iḥrām for Hajj (and that was Hajj-at-Tamuttu) on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah and performed their Hajj].
