Miqat

"Narrated Ibn `Abbas : Allah's Apostle had fixed Dhul Hulaifa
as the Miqat for the people of Medina; Al−Juhfa for the people
of Sham; and Qarn Ul−Manazil for the people of Najd; and
Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. So, these (above mentioned)
are the Mawaqit for all those living at those places, and
besides them for those who come through those places with the
intention of performing Hajj and `Umra and whoever lives
within these places should assume Ihram from his dwelling
place, and similarly the people of Mecca can assume lhram from
Mecca."

- Sahih Bukhari vol:2, hadith:601, book:26



"Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah from his father: I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "The Miqat for the people of Medina is
Dhul−Hulaifa; for the people of Sham is Mahita; (i.e.
Al−Juhfa); and for the people of Najd is Qarn. And said Ibn
`Umar, "They claim, but I did not hear personally, that the
Prophet said, "The Miqat for the people of Yemen is Yalamlam." "

- Sahih Bukhari vol:2, hadith:603, book:26


"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 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)." "
