📖 1 min readعن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه ، قال: حَجَّ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على رَحْلٍ رَثٍّ، وقَطِيفة تُساوي أربعة دراهم، أو لا تُساوي، ثم قال: «اللهمَّ حَجَّة لا رِياءَ فيها، ولا سُمْعَة».
According to this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj on a she-camel with an old worn-out saddle, covered by a piece of cloth, the value of which was four dirhams or even less. Then he said: O Allah, I perform this Hajj only for Your sake, hoping that you would be pleased with me, not to show off or seek to be seen or heard by the people.
