The
word 'Mina' is from Arabic 'mannun' or 'tamniyatun' meaning of which
is special kindness and soul desire. It was from the meaning of a doa
(prayer) of Rasulullah sallalahu alihe oasallam. In that doa
Rasulullah sallalahu alihe oasallam said, Maola! this is that mina at
which you have done mercy to hazrat Adhom ( alihe oasallam) & to
many of your gracious person. According to that do mercy on us. In
the book 'Akhbare Makkah' a description from hazrat Abdullah ibne
Abbas( Radiallahu anhu) state that hazrat Zibrail ( alihe oasallam) &
Adham ( alihe oasallam) went to Arafat & Mujdalefa together to
teach Adham ( alihe oasallam) the every main rukon of hajj. They
stayed there & after performing kurbani hazrat Zibrail ( alihe
oasallam) asked Adham ( alihe oasallam) during taking farewell that
do you have any desire ? Then hazrat Adham ( alihe oasallam) said,
now only one desire is remaining that is going to zannat. As desire
of Adham ( alihe oasallam) was mentioned here the place is named as
Mina.
In
another description the word is from Arabic 'Uyumnid-dima' meaning of
which is the place of blood shed from kurbani. At Mina hajjis perform
kurbani. Here is the Mosque, the Masjidul Khaouf which was built by
Adham ( alihe oasallam). In the early time of islam, the
representatives of Madinah accept islam here at Mina.
Hazrat
Ismail ( alihe oasallam) was brought here for kurbani. Here young
Ismail ( alihe oasallam) threw pebbles to saitan at three places at
which hajjis throw pebbles during hajj.
