659 - Issue; He said: (And he shall pronounce Takbir [saying Allahu Akbar] after every prayer, from the Dhuhr prayer of the Day of Sacrifice until the last of the days of Tashriq).

The pilgrim in Ihram is specifically designated for the Takbir starting from the Dhuhr of the Day of Sacrifice because, prior to that, he is occupied with the Talbiyah and does not cease it until the stoning of the Jamrat al-Aqaba, as we explained previously. There is no prayer after it before Dhuhr, so he pronounces the Takbir at that time after it, just as the one who is not in Ihram. He and the one who is not in Ihram are equal regarding the end of the duration of the Takbir. The manner of the Takbir is what we have already mentioned in the prayer of the Eid, which is to say: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi al-hamd."

Section: Some of our companions said: It is recommended for one who has departed [Mina] to come to al-Muhassab, which is al-Abtah, and its boundary is what is between the two mountains up to the graveyard. He should pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha there, then recline for a short while, then enter Makkah. Ibn Umar used to consider al-Tahsib (stopping at al-Muhassab) a Sunnah. [Ibn al-Mundhir said: Ibn Umar used to] pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha at al-Muhassab. He was known for strictly following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Tawus used to perform al-Tahsib in Shi'b al-Khuz. Sa'id ibn Jubayr used to do it, then he abandoned it. Ibn Abbas and Aisha did not consider it a Sunnah. Ibn Abbas said: "Al-Tahsib is of no consequence; it is merely a place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stopped." It is narrated from Aisha that descending to al-Abtah is not a Sunnah; rather, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) descended there to make it easier for his exit when he departed. Both are agreed upon. Whoever recommends it, does so in order to follow the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), for he used to descend there.

660 - Issue; He said: (And if he arrives in Makkah, he shall not leave until he bids farewell to the House; he shall perform the circumambulation (Tawaf) around it seven times, and pray two rak'ahs when he has finished all his affairs, so that his final act is with the House).

The gist of this is that whoever comes to Makkah is in one of two states: either he intends to stay there, or he intends to leave. If he stays there, there is no farewell required of him, because the farewell is for one who is departing, not for one who is settling, regardless of whether he intended to stay before the departure [from Mina] or after it. This is the opinion of al-Shafi'i. Abu Hanifa said: If he intended to stay after it became permissible for him to depart, the circumambulation is not waived from him. This is incorrect, because he is not departing, so a farewell is not required of him, just as in the case of one who intended to stay before it was permissible to depart. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) only said: "Let no one depart until his final act is with the House." This person is not departing. As for...
