Hajj of the Prophets is the report of the Islamic narratives of performing hajj of the  Prophets from Adam (pbuh) to Muhammad (pbuh).According to some hadiths, all the prophets have performed Hajj and some of them have been specially clarified to perform Hajj. According to Islamic traditions, prophet Adam first built the Kaaba and performed Hajj with the help of Gabriel, and the other prophets performed Hajj after him. The Kaaba was destroyed by the flood of Noah, but the prophets after Noah used to perform Hajj without knowing the exact location of the Kaaba until Prophet Ibrahim rebuilt the Kaaba. Moses, Jesus, solomon, David, Khidr, Jonah and Elijah are among the prophets whose presence in Mecca for Hajj is mentioned in Islamic narratives.

Performng hajj  of the Prophets has been mentioned in numerous traditions in Islamic sources; In some collective narrative books, there is a chapter which is collected hadiths under the title "Hajj al-Anbiya".<ref>Kulayni, Al-Kafi, vol. 4 p. 212; </ref> Some of these hadiths<ref>ʿAyyāshī, Tafsīr al-ʿAyyāshī, vol. 1, p. 60, 186.</ref> are below the verse that introduced the Kaaba as the first house on earth {{note| إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَیتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِی بِبَکهَ}}<ref>Qurʾān,3:96.</ref>. ] and another, under the verse that considers the Kaaba as ﴾Al-Bayt al-Atiq﴾[Note 2]<ref>Qurʾān,22:34</ref>. <ref>Ṣadūq,ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ, vol. 2, p. 399, Ṭūsī, Al-Khilāf, vol. 6, p. 58.</ref>Also, some hadiths under the verse ﴿ وَلِكِّ عُمٍَّّ جَعَلْنَا منسَاِّ ﴾, [Note 3] have considered Hajj rituals as one of the obligatory rituals for all nations.<ref>Ṭabrisī, Majmaʿ al-bayān, vol. 7, p. 134, Qurṭubī, Tafsīr al-Qurtubī, vol. 12, p. 58.</ref>

According to some reports, the Kaaba disappeared in the storm of Noah. Prophets used to perform Hajj without knowing the exact location of the Kaaba [15] until Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was commissioned to rebuild the Kaaba and revive the ritual of Hajj. [16] After the reconstruction of the Kaaba, he asked God to represent the Hajj rituals to him [Note 4][17] Gabriel came to him and taught him the rituals of Hajj one by one[18] and after the command to call people to perform Hajj,[19] Ibrahim (AS) stood up on a high place [Note 5] and loudly called the people to performing  Hajj[20] and he and his son Ishmael (a.s.) and a group of Jarhamites performed Hajj.[21] After that, Hajj as a sacred tradition with special actions continued by the other Prophets and their followers [22

After Abraham and Ishmael (pbuh), other prophets performed Hajj as it is narrated that Prophet Musa (pbuh) along with 70 prophets for performing Hajj on a red-haired camel after passing through the area of "Safah al-Ruha" while speaking “labbayk ya karim labbayk”  and Putting on Ihram. In a tradition, Ibn Abbas has narrated from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that 70 prophets, including Moses (PBUH), came to Mina and prayed in Khaif Mosque.
