In the month Dhul-Hijjah, in the the ninth year of Al-Hijra,the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) dispatched Abu Bakr(RA)for Al-Hajj (pilgrimage), so that he  would lead the Muslims in performing of the pilgrimage.

Soon after the departure of the Muslims, there came a Revelation from Allâh (ﷻ)- the opening passages of Surah Tauba (Bara’a) in which ‘freedom from obligation’ is proclaimed from Allâh(ﷻ) in regard to those idolatrous tribes who had shown no respect for the treaties which they had entered into with the Prophet (ﷺ).
