Narrated `Urwa:
During the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked
except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to
the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes
to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did not give
clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse)

Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to `Arafat (by Allah's
order)."
