 When he had to do some work, whenever he had to undertake some operation, whenever he had to do anything for the Muslims, it was his method to consult the Sahaba, it was his methodology to inform as much Sahaba Muslims as possible. The same happened for this Hajj also. Now we know that population of Arab during those days was divided into various tribes, various clans, and they would live in the far-flung areas. Not everyone was living in Medina, not everyone was living in Mecca, but in the surrounding areas, in small little scattered villages or dwellings or whatever you may call it, maybe a family, maybe a group of families together. The Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, announced in all tribes that I am going to this area for Hajj, and if anyone wishes to join me, then it is reported that I am going, and if anyone wishes to join me, then there is no restriction on any type of people, everyone can go. Ultimately, when this news reached the tribes, what better and pleasurable news could be for them? No sooner this news spreaded, a very, very huge number of Muslims made up their mind to accompany the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, and they considered it a matter of pride for themselves. They considered it a matter of pride for themselves that they were going to do Hajj with the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, and then all their lives, they would probably tell their wives that they had done Hajj with the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him. Now, when this news came out of Medina and reached the tribes, people started preparing for it. Many authentic authors have written that in just a few days, in just a few days of the news spread, so many people came who could not even imagine. These historians have written that 1,14,000 Muslims gathered together to do Hajj with the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him. This is not an ordinary thing. There was a time when there was a meeting with a companion in the office of the Holy Prophet. And where is this time? 1,14,000 Muslims gathered there. And wherever the Muslims were on the way, wherever the news reached, all those people were also ready and they had to be included. This is an understood thing.
