Sahih al-Bukhari 1664

Hadith text

Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut`im:My father said, "(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same narration is told by a different sub-narrator. Jubair bin Mut`im said, "My camel was lost and I went out in search of it on the day of `Arafat, and I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing in `Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the Hums (literally: strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as they used to say, 'We are the people of Allah we shall not go out of the sanctuary). What has brought him here?

Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im bataate hain: Mere waalid ne kaha: "(Islam se pehle) main apna oont dhoond raha tha.." Yehi riwayat ek doosre raawi ne bhi bayan ki. Jubair bin Mut'im ne kaha: "Mera oont gum ho gaya tha aur main Arafat ke din usse dhoondne nikla, aur maine Nabi ko Arafat mein khada dekha. Maine khud se socha: Allah ki qasam, yeh Hums (yaani Quraish, jo sakhti se deendar the aur kehte: hum Allah ke log hain, hum haram se bahar nahi jate) mein se hain. Inhe yahan kya laaya?"
