SELECTIONS FROM MUḤAMMADAN TRADITIONS

It is related from Usámah bin Sharík that he said, 'I came out with the Apostle of God to perform the pilgrimage. And the people were corning to him, and some were saying, "O Apostle of God, I performed the running (between Aṣ Ṣafa and Al Marwah) before going round the Kaʿbah" or "I delayed to perform something " or "I did something before its time."

It is related from ʿOthmán that, 'The Apostle of God said, "Let not one performing the pilgrimage, marry or give in marriage or effect a betrothal."'—Muslim.
