English translation
1531. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهم: When these two towns (Baṣrah and Kūfa) were conquered, the people went to 'Umar and said, "O chief of the faithful believers! The Prophet ﷺ fixed Qarn as the Miqāt for the people of Najd, it is beyond our way and it is difficult for us to pass through it." 'Umar said, "Take as your Miqāt a place situated opposite to Qarn on your usual way. So, he fixed Dhāt-'Irq (as their Miqāt)."
