During the last Hajj led by `Umar, `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf returned to his family at Mina and metme there. `AbdurRahman said (to `Umar), "O chief of the believers! The season of Hajj is the seasonwhen there comes the scum of the people (besides the good amongst them), so I recommend that youshould wait till you go back to Medina, for it is the place of Migration and Sunna (i.e. the Prophet'stradition), and there you will be able to refer the matter to the religious scholars and the nobles and thepeople of wise opinions." `Umar said, "I will speak of it in Medina on my very first sermon I willdeliver there."
