“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about Ihram of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, if it was during the day or night. He (the Imam) said, ‘It was during the day.’ I then asked at what time of the day was it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It was at al-Zuhr.’ I then asked, ‘When should we do so?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is all the same for you. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, did so because water was scarce. It was only on mountains and a man had to move for it one day earlier and he would almost not find any. These waters are found only recently.”’
