Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala states:
lakkad kanna lakum fii rasuulillah- laahi'Uswatun hasana
'Indeed you have in the Messenger of Allah a good example."
So, the practice of the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam is the correct example for the ummah to follow.
For he salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
"Take from me your devotional rites [of Hajj]."
All scholars agree that the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam performed only one hajj after his emmigration to Madinah. This pilgrimage is popularly known as the "Farewell Pilgrimage" because in it he bade farewell to his followers and imported to them his last advice and instruction.
During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam demonstrated the methods and formalities of hajj performance so that the Muslims might obtain guidance from it and learn its rules on the basis of every one of his saying and deeds during the blessed journey.
In the year 10 AH the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam determined to perform hajj, Near the end of the month of Dhul-Qa'dah, he perform ghusl and wore the ihram garments. [This proves that a pilgrim can wear the two wrappings even before reaching the meeqat, as the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam put them on in Madinah].
After performing the thuhr prayer he left Madinah accompanied by the members of his family. Five miles from Madinah at Dhual-Hulayfah [the meeqat for Madinah], he stopped for the night. The next day after performing two ra'kahs for thuhr prayer, he made the intention for hajj and umrah together and said:
Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk,Labbayka la shareeka laka Labbayk,Innal- hamda wan-ni mata lka wal mulk,La shareeka lak
"In the name of Allah. Blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah O Allah, open to the doors of Your mercy".
Upon entering al-Masjid al-Haram the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam kissed the Black Stone and with the ka'bah to his left started circling it, neither reciting any specific supplication or dhikr nor pronouncing his intention for tawaf verbally. He circled the Ka'bah seven times, the first three times at the quick pace or trot, keeping the right shoulder and arm bare and then left shoulder covered with the wrapping of ihram. Then he completed the remaining four circuits at a slower pace.

"I respond [in obedience] to You, O Allah- I respond.
I respond - no partner is there to You- I respond. All praise and favours is
Yours, and sovereignty.There is no partner to You."
He mounted his she-camel aI-Qaswa and raised his voice,
calling out, 'Labbayk...' Throughout the journey and particularly
upon passing caravans and after obligatory prayers, he called out the talbiyah
and instructed his companions to do the same.
Similarly, upon ascending any hill he would call out ,"Allahu Akbar" three times. Throughout the journey multitudes of people joined his caravan.
Upon reaching Sarif, his wife A'ishah began her menstrual period and was much depressed. He consoled her by saying that it was natural for every woman and that she could perform all of the devotional acts of hajj except circling the Ka'bah which she would have to postpone until after her bath of purification. [Indeed any female pilgrim with menstrual or post- natal should follow the aforementioned instruction of the Prophet (PBUH). She may recite all supplication during this time but cannot pray and must postpone her tawaf ].
Then he instructed his companions:
"Those who have brought sacrificial animals should make the intention of hajj and umrah together [i.e. qiran] and not remove ihram until sacrificing their animals on the 10th of Dhul-Hajjah. But those who have not brought sacrificial animal should perform tamattu [i.e. umrah and hajj with separate ihram]."
After the night halt at Dhu Tuwa and the performance of the fajr prayer, there, he arrived in Makkah at mid- morning.
Entering al-Masjid al -Haram by putting his right foot in first, the pilgrim should recite the same supplication recited upon entering any mosque:
Bismillahi, wassalatu. Wassalamu 'ala Rasoolillahi, Allahumma-maftahle 'abwaaba rahmatik.
