2996. It was narrated from Jâbir that when the Prophet ﷺ came back from the 'Umrah of Al-Jirrânah, he sent Abû Bakr to lead the Hajj. We went with him until, when he was in Al-'Urw, the Iqâmah for Subh was said, and he stood up to say the Takbîr while he heard the grunting of a camel behind him, and he did not say the Takbîr. He said: "This is the grunting of the camel of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ; perhaps the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has had second thoughts about the Hajj, and maybe he is here, and we will pray with him.” But it was ‘Alî on the camel. Abû Bakr said to him: “(Have you come) as a leader or as a messenger?” He said: “No, as a messenger, sent by the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ with a declaration of innocence to recite it to the people in the stations of Hajj. So we came to Makkah and one day before the day of At-Tarwiyah Abû Bakr, may Allâh be pleased with him, stood up and addressed the people, telling them about their rituals. When he finished, ‘Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then we went out with him and on the day of ‘Arafat. Abû Bakr stood up and addressed the people, telling them about their rituals. When he finished, ‘Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then on the day of Sacrifice, we departed (Ifâdah) and when Abû Bakr came back, he addressed the people, telling them about their departure (Ifâdah), sacrifice and rituals. When he finished, ‘Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, stood up and recited declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. On the first day of An-Nafr (the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah), Abû Bakr stood up and addressed the people, telling them how to offer their sacrifice and how to stone the Jamarât, and teaching them their rituals. When he had finished, "Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. (Da'if) Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: Ibn Khuthaim is not strong in Hadîth, and I only narrated this so it would not be considered to be from Ibn Juraij from Abû Az-Zubair. And we did not write it except from Ishâq bin Râhûyah bin Ibrâhîm. And Yahya bin Sa'eed Al-Qatţân did not abandon the narrations of Ibn Khuthaim, or did 'Abdur-Rahmân. However, 'Alî bin Al-Madînî said: "Ibn Khuthaim is Munkar in Hadîth," and 'Alî bin Al-Madînî is more knowledgeable of Hadîth.
