Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

THE BLESSINGS OF HAJJ AND ‘UMRAH

Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said: “Make the Hajj and Umrah follow one another closely, for they remove poverty and sins as a blacksmith’s bellows removes impurities from iron, gold and silver; and a Hajj which is accepted gets no less a reward than paradise.” [Tirmizi, Nisai, Ma’rif-ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said: Those who perform the Hajj and those who perform the Umrah are people who have come to visit ALLAAH. If they supplicate Him He will respond to them, and if they ask Him for forgiveness He will forgive them.” [Mishkat]

The Prophet is reported to have said: ALLAAH showers down one hundred and twenty blessings for his servants performing Hajj. Out of these sixty are of those who perform the Tawaf (circumambulating) of the House of ALLAAH, forty for those who say their Salaah there and twenty for those who only keep looking at it. (House of ALLAAH). [Baihaqi]

The Prophet has also said, “Whoever performs Tawaf of the House of ALLAAH fifty times, he becomes free from sin as on the day he was born.” [Tirmizi]
