Hilāl b. Khabbāb said, “I set out with Saʿīd b. Jubayr (d. 95) when some days had passed in Rajab, so he entered into a state of iḥrām from al-Kūfah for ʿUmrah. He then returned from ʿUmrah. He then entered into a state of iḥrām for Ḥajj during the middle of Dhū al-Qaʿdah; he used to set out twice every year: once for Ḥajj and once for ʿUmrah.”

Mūsá b. Hārūn (d. 294) used to perform Ḥajj frequently; he would reside in Baghdād for a year and perform Ḥajj for a year.

al-Ḥasan b. Aḥmad said that Ibn Abī ʿUmar al-ʿAdanī (d. 243) performed Ḥajj 77 times.

Aḥmad b. Janāb (d. 230) said, “ʿĪsá b. Yūnus (d. 187) performed Ḥajj 45 times.”

Saḥnūn (d. 240) said, “Ibn Wahb (d. 197) used to divide the year into three: a third guarding the border, a third teaching knowledge, and a third in Ḥajj.” He mentioned that he performed Ḥajj 36 times.

Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib (d. 94) said, “I performed 40 pilgrimages.”

ʿAmr b. Maymūn (d. 75) performed a combination of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah 60 times.

Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī (33-127H) said, “al-Aswad al-Nakhaʿī (d. 75) performed a combination of 80 Ḥajj and ʿUmrah.”

Hishām b. Ḥassān (d. 146) stated that Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī (d. 131) performed Ḥajj 40 times.

Ibn Abī Laylá (d. 148) stated that ʿAṭāʾ b. Abī Rabāḥ (d. 114) performed Ḥajj more than 70 times.

Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah (d. 198) said, “I witnessed 80 standings in ʿArafah.” He used to say in every standing, “O Allāh, do not make this the last time with You.” When it came to the year in which he died, he did not say anything and stated, “I felt shy in front of Allāh the Most High.”
