Sahih Muslim Hadith 2944

English

[2944] 142 – (…) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh [may Allah be pleased with them] said: "We entered Ihrâm for Ijaff with the Messenger of Allah , but when we came to Makkah he told us to exit Ihrâm and make it 'Umrah. We found that hard and felt anxious about it. News of that reached the Prophet , and we did not know whether he heard of it from heaven, or from the people. He said: '0 people, exit Ihrâm. Were it not for the sacrificial animal that is with me, I would do what you are doing.' So we exited Ihrâm and had intercourse with our wives, and we did what those who are not in Ihrâm do, until the day of At- Tarwiyah came, when we put Makkah behind us (to go to Mini and 'Arafat) and entered Ihrâm for Hajj."
