The Book of Hajj
The Obligation of Hajj (Pilgrimage) and its Excellence
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: كَانَتْ عُكَاظٌ وَمَجَنَّةُ، وَذُو الْمَجَازِ أَسْوَاقًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَتَأَثَّمُوا أَنْ يَتَّجِرُوا فِي الْمَوَاسِمِ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلاً مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ} ((البقرة: 198)) في مواسم الحج.((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Ukaz, Mijannah and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the pre-Islamic period. The Companions disliked trading there till the following Ayat of the Noble Qur'an were revealed: "There is no sin on you if you seek the Bounty of your Rubb (during pilgrimage by trading)..." (2:198) [Al- Bukhari].
