Hadith on Hajj: Trading during pilgrimage season

Ibn Abbas reported: Dhul al-Majaz, ‘Ukazha, and Matjar were markets people attended in the time of ignorance. When Islam came, the companions disliked that during the Hajj season until the verse was revealed, “There is no blame on you for seeking the bounty of your Lord during this journey.” (2:198)

عن ابْن عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ كَانَ ذُو الْمَجَازِ وَعُكَاظٌ مَتْجَرَ النَّاسِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ كَأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ
