- The Prophet ﷺ stayed in Madinah nine years without performing Hajj, then announced it in the tenth year, and great numbers of people came to join him.
- He entered ihram at Dhul Hulayfah, performed Tawaf and Sa'i in Makkah, went to Mina on the 8th, stood at Arafah on the 9th, spent the night at Muzdalifah, and stoned the Jamarah on the 10th.
- At Arafah he delivered a sermon to the people, which became known as the Farewell Sermon.
- He died a few months later, in 11 AH, which is why it is called the Farewell Hajj.
Our Hajj step by step guide follows the same order.
