Hajj of the Prophets: Difference between revisions

Some hadiths have reported about the Hajj of the Prophets without mentioning their names. According to some reports, all the prophets except Hud and Saleh did not succeed in performing Hajj because they were engaged in preaching. The rest of them performed Hajj.<ref>Ibn Isḥāq, ''Al-Sīyar wa al-maghāzī'', vol. 2, p, 73; Bayhaqī, ''Sunan al-kubrā'', vol. 5, p. 177; Ibn Kathīr, ''Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 272.</ref> But this view is considered weak.<ref>Ṣāliḥī Shāmī, Subul al-hudā, vol. 1, p. 210.</ref> In addition, in some hadiths, Hud and Saleh have been explicitly mentioned <ref>Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, Musnad Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, vol. 1, p. 232; Ibn Kathīr, ''Al-Bidāya wa l-nihāya'', vol. 1, p. 138; Haythamī, 'Majmaʿ al-zawāʾid, vol. 3, p. 220. .</ref> and it has even been said that They died in Mecca and were buried near the Kaaba.<ref>Al-Arzaqī, ''Akhbār-i Makkih'', vol. 1, p. 68</ref> Therefore, all the prophets performed Hajj.
