رَوَى عُبَيْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْإِحْرَامُ مِنْ مَوَاقِيتَ خَمْسَةٍ وَقَّتَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِحَاجٍّ وَ لاَ مُعْتَمِرٍ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ قَبْلَهَا وَ لاَ بَعْدَهَا وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ ذَا اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ وَ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ اَلشَّجَرَةِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ وَ يَفْرِضُ اَلْحَجَّ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَسَارَ وَ اِسْتَوَتْ بِهِ اَلْبَيْدَاءُ حِينَ يُحَاذِي اَلْمِيلَ اَلْأَوَّلَ أَحْرَمَ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ اَلشَّامِ اَلْجُحْفَةَ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ اَلْعَقِيقَ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ اَلطَّائِفِ قَرْنَ اَلْمَنَازِلِ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ اَلْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمَ وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَرْغَبَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ».
Ubaydullah ibn Ali al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "The state of Ihram (ritual consecration) begins at five designated locations, established by the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family). It is not proper for a pilgrim, whether performing Hajj or 'Umrah, to assume Ihram before or after these places. - For the people of Medina, it is Dhul-Hulayfah (the Mosque of the Tree), where he (the Prophet) used to pray and declare the Hajj obligatory. When he exited the mosque and reached the plain of Al-Bayda, near the first milestone, he entered Ihram. - For the people of Sham (Syria), it is Al-Juhfa. - For the people of Najd, it is Al-'Aqiq. - For the people of Ta'if, it is Qarn al-Manazil. - For the people of Yemen, it is Yalamlam. No one should deviate from the places designated by the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family)."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلْعَقِيقَ لِأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَ قَالَ «هُوَ وَقْتٌ لِمَا أَنْجَدَتِ اَلْأَرْضُ » وَ أَنْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ اَلشَّامِ اَلْجُحْفَةَ وَ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَهْيَعَةُ ».
In a narration by Rifa‘ah ibn Musa from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, he said: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) designated Al-‘Aqiq as the miqat (station for assuming Ihram) for the people of Najd, and he said: 'It is the miqat for wherever the land rises towards Najd.' You are among them. He also designated Al-Juhfa as the miqat for the people of Sham (Syria), and it is also called Mahya‘ah."

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «يُجْزِيكَ إِذَا لَمْ تَعْرِفِ اَلْعَقِيقَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ اَلنَّاسَ وَ اَلْأَعْرَابَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ».
Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "It suffices you, if you do not know the location of Al-‘Aqiq, to ask the people and the Bedouins about it."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 124
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَوَّلُ اَلْعَقِيقِ بَرِيدُ اَلْبَعْثِ وَ هُوَ بَرِيدٌ مِنْ دُونِ بَرِيدِ غَمْرَةَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The beginning of Al-‘Aqiq is Barid al-Ba‘th, which is a station before Barid Ghamrah."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ، لِأَهْلِ اَلْعِرَاقِ اَلْعَقِيقَ وَ أَوَّلُهُ اَلْمَسْلَخُ وَ وَسَطُهُ غَمْرَةُ وَ آخِرُهُ ذَاتُ عِرْقٍ وَ أَوَّلُهُ أَفْضَلُ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) designated Al-‘Aqiq as the miqat for the people of Iraq. Its beginning is Al-Maslakhu, its middle is Ghamrah, and its end is Dhat Irq. The beginning (Al-Maslakhu) is the most virtuous."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ اَلْجُحْفَةِ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ ».
Mu‘awiyah ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man from Medina who assumed Ihram from Al-Juhfa. Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no harm."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 124
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّا نُرْوَى بِالْكُوفَةِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْ تَمَامِ حَجِّكَ إِحْرَامُكَ مِنْ دُوَيْرَةِ أَهْلِكَ» فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ لَمَا تَمَتَّعَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِثِيَابِهِ إِلَى اَلشَّجَرَةِ ».
It is narrated from Abu Basir, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "In Kufa, it is narrated that Imam Ali عليه السلام said: 'Part of the completion of your Hajj is assuming Ihram from the vicinity of your home.'" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى! If it were as they say, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) would not have enjoyed wearing his clothes until reaching the Tree (Dhul-Hulayfah)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ سَأَلَ مُيَسِّرٌ اَلصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ اَلْعَقِيقِ وَ آخَرَ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ اَلْكُوفَةِ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ عَمَلاً فَقَالَ «يَا مُيَسِّرُ تُصَلِّي اَلْعَصْرَ أَرْبَعاً أَفْضَلُ أَوْ تُصَلِّيهَا سِتّاً» فَقُلْتُ أُصَلِّيهَا أَرْبَعاً قَالَ «فَكَذَلِكَ سُنَّةُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا».
Maysar asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who assumed Ihram from Al-‘Aqiq and another who assumed Ihram from Kufa, saying: "Which of them has performed a better act?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "O Maysar, is it better to pray the afternoon prayer as four units or as six units?" I said: "To pray it as four units." Imam عليه السلام said: "Likewise, the practice of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) is better than anything else."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 124
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَنْزِلُهُ خَلْفَ اَلْجُحْفَةِ مِنْ أَيْنَ يُحْرِمُ قَالَ «مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a man whose home is beyond Al-Juhfa: "From where should he assume Ihram?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "From his home."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «مَنْ كَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ دُونَ اَلْمَوَاقِيتِ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُحْرِمَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ.
In another narration: "Whoever's home is within the boundaries between the miqats and Makkah must assume Ihram from their home."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ اَلْحَجَّ شَهْراً أَوْ نَحْوَهُ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي غَيْرِ طَرِيقِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ حِذَاءَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ وَ اَلْبَيْدَاءِ مَسِيرَةَ سِتَّةِ أَمْيَالٍ فَلْيُحْرِمْ مِنْهَا ».
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "Whoever resides in Medina intending to perform Hajj for a month or so, and then decides to depart on a route other than that of Medina, when they are opposite Al-Shajarah and Al-Bayda, a distance of six miles, they should assume Ihram from there."
