Volume 3, Book 28, Number 34:
Narrated Nafi:
That Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah and Salim bin ‘Abdullah informed him that they told Ibn ‘Umar
when Ibn Az-Zubair was attacked by the army, saying “There is no harm for you if you did not per –
form Hajj this year. We are afraid that you may be prevented from reaching the Kaba.” Ibn ‘Umar
said “We set out with Allah’s Apostle and the non-believers of Quraish prevented us from reaching
the Ka’ba, and so the Prophet slaughtered his Hadi and got his head shaved.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “I
make you witnesses that I have made ‘Umra obligatory for me. And, Allah willing, I will go and then
if the way to Ka’ba is clear, I will perform the Tawaf, but if I am prevented from going to the Ka’ba
then I will do the same as the Prophet did while I was in his company.” Ibn ‘Umar then assumed
Ihram for Umra from Dhul-Hulaifa and proceeded for a while and said, “The conditions of ‘Umra
and Hajj are similar and I make you witnesses that I have made ‘Umra and Hajj obligatory for my –
self.” So, he did not finish the Ihram till the day of Nahr (slaughtering) came, and he slaughtered his
Hadi. He used to say, “I will not finish the Ihram till I perform the Tawaf, one Tawaf on the day of en –
tering Mecca (i.e. of Safa and Marwa for both ‘Umra and Hajj).”
