Sahih al-Bukhari 1479 (Book 25, Hadith 19)

Narrated Ibn `Umar: When these two towns (Basra and Kufa) were captured, the people went to `Umar and said, “O the
Chief of the faithful believers! The Prophet (ﷺ) fixed Qarn as the Miqat for the people of Najd, it is
beyond our way and it is difficult for us to pass through it.” He said, “Take as your Miqat a place
situated opposite to Qarn on your usual way. So, he fixed Dhatu-Irq (as their Miqat).”

حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا فُتِحَ هَذَانِ الْمِصْرَانِ أَتَوْا عُمَرَ فَقَالُوا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَدَّ لأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ قَرْنًا، وَهُوَ جَوْرٌ عَنْ طَرِيقِنَا، وَإِنَّا إِنْ أَرَدْنَا قَرْنًا شَقَّ عَلَيْنَا‏.‏ قَالَ فَانْظُرُوا حَذْوَهَا مِنْ طَرِيقِكُمْ‏.‏ فَحَدَّ لَهُمْ ذَاتَ عِرْقٍ‏.‏

Sahih al-Bukhari 1479 (Book 25, Hadith 19)

 

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
