2741. Ja'far bin Muhammad said: "My father told me: 'We came to Jâbir bin Abdullâh and asked him about the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ. He told us: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stayed in Al-Madinah for nine years of Hajj, then it was announced to the people that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was going to perform Hajj this year. Many people came to Al-Madinah, all of them hoping to learn from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and to do as he did. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ set out when there were five days left of Dhul-Qa'dah, and we set out with him.' Jâbir said: "And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was among us; the Qur'an was being revealed to him, and he knew what it meant. Whatever he did based on it (the Qur'an), we did, and we set out with no intention other than Hajj." (Sahih)

Commentary
"An announcement was made" so that all Muslims present may gain the honor of seeing the Prophet ﷺ, to remain in his companionship and follow him. They may learn the rites of Hajj directly from him, as well as the knowledge of other issues of the Divine law. And it may exhibit the unity, status and grandeur of the Muslims.
