The Ihram of the Prophet, his Talbiyyah and his bathing for Ihram

Question :

Did the Messenger assume Ihram and bathe from Al- Madinah Al-Munawwarah?

Answer:

The Prophet assumed Ihram from Thul-Hulayfah, meaning he made intention for the type of Hajj rite and declared the Talbiyyah for it from there and not Al-Madinah. This is because the Prophet designated the Mawaqit places for the rite of Hajj and Umrah. Thus, he made Thul-Hulayfah a Miqat for the people of Al-Madinah, and he would not legislate something and then contradict it. Indeed it has been confirmed from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet designated the Miqat for the people of Al-Madinah as Thul-Hulayfah; and for the people of Ash-Sham, Al-Juhfah; and for the people of Najd, Qarnul-Manazil; and for the people of Al-Yemen, Yalamlam. Then he said:
"They are for them and whoever passes by them from other than their people, from those who intend to perform Hajj and Umrah. Whoever is closer (to Makkah) than that, then he assumes Ihram from wherever he sets out. Even the people of Makkah assume Ihram from Makkah."

This was recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. It has been confirmed from Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that he heard his father ('Abdullah bin Umar) saying: "The Messenger of Allâh did not assume Ihram except from the Masjid, meaning the Masjid of Thul-Hulayfah."

This was recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. The Prophet also bathed at Thul-Hulayfah as is reported from Kharijah bin Zaid bin Thabit from his father (Zaid bin Thabit) that he saw the Prophet removing his clothes to assume his Ihram and he bathed. This was recorded by At-Tirmithi. May Allâh send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
