حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ وَقَّتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَلِأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ قَرْنًا وَلِأَهْلِ الشَّأْمِ الْجُحْفَةَ وَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثُ حَفِظْتُهُنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَلِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ الْعِرَاقُ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عِرَاقٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5111
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) defined the miqaat of the people of Madina h as Dhu’l-Hulayfah; that of the people of Najd as Qarn; and that of the people of Shaam (Syria) as al-Juhfah, And he said: These three I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and I was told that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: And for the people of Yemen, (their miqaat) is Yalamlam. It was said to him: What about Iraq? He said: There was no Iraq at that time.
