Dislike of Unnecessary Goods
The Prophet did not like, even for a short time, to keep money or provisions in his house in excess of his needs. In the same way, he did not allow the goods of charity which were the property of common people to remain with him for a moment. He would have no peace of mind till they had been given away.
At the time of leaving Madina, offer two Rak’ats of Prayers in Masjid-e-Nabavi and then pay a Salam in front of the sacred Mausoleum and pray to Allah that He may render your return journey easy for you and take you to your family in peace and safety. He may guard you against the evils of both the worlds and make you lucky enough to be present again in Madina. He may not render this presence of yours as your last presence.
“(And Allah’s help is sought and He is trusted in, and the end of our invocation is “All praise to Allah the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds).”
In this connection this is worth noticing that on all the four sides of Mecca, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) : blessings of Allah and peace be on him) has assigned some distinct places on reaching where Ihram wearing becomes obligatory for the pilgrims to Mecca irrespective of the Ihram being for Hajj or Umra. These places are called Miqat, the plural number of which is Mawaqit. Fixation of Mawaqit has been narrated in Ahadith-e-Sahi-ha (Authentic traditions of the Holy Prophet) The above restriction of wearing Ihram on Miqat is general in its imposition on all residing outside Miqat. Whenever they enter into the precincts of Miqat with the intention to go to Mecca ; whether their entrance is with some commercial purposes or in order to pay a visit to their friends or relatives ; in any case they are under obligation, in relation to the rights of Bait-Ullah, that they enter Mecca after wearing Ihram from Miqat. If it is Hajj period, they are to wear Ihram for Hajj, otherwise they should wear Ihram for Umra and thus pay due homage to Bait-Ullah first. Only then they are supposed to look after their own business, (Badae). Anyhow, if the journey to Jedda is not with the intention to go to Mecca, but instead it is with the intention to reach Jedda or Madina ; in that case, it is not necessary to wear Ihram from Miqat.
