Volume 2, Book 26, Number 635:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The people (of the Pre-lslamic Period) used to think that to perform ‘Umra during the months of
Hajj was one of the major sins on earth. And also used to consider the month of Safar as a forbidden
(i.e. sacred) month and they used to say, “When the wounds of the camel’s back heal up (after they
return from Hajj) and the signs of those wounds vanish and the month of Safar passes away then (at
that time) ‘Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it.” In the morning of the 4th of
Dhul-Hijja, the Prophet and his companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he
ordered his companions to make their intentions of the Ihram for’Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they
considered his order as something great and were puzzled, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What kind
(of finishing) of Ihram is allowed?” The Prophet replied, “Finish the Ihram completely like a non-
Muhrim (you are allowed everything).”

Hafsa the wife of the Prophet said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why have the people finished their Ihram
after performing ‘Umra but you have not finished your Ihram after performing ‘Umra?” He replied, “I

(my Hadi). “

Narrated Shu’ba:
Abu Jamra Nasr bin ‘Imran Ad-Duba’i said, “I intended to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu’ and the
people advised me not to do so. I asked Ibn Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to perform Hajj-
at-Tammatu’. Later I saw in a dream someone saying to me, ‘Hajj-Mabrur (Hajj performed in ac –
cordance with the Prophet’s tradition without committing sins and accepted by Allah) and an accep –
ted ‘Umra.’ So I told that dream to Ibn Abbas. He said, ‘This is the tradition of Abu-l-Qasim.’ Then he
said to me, ‘Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of my property.’ ” I (Shu’ba) asked, “Why (did
he invite you)?” He (Abu Jamra) said, “Because of the dream which I had seen.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 639:
Narrated Abu Shihab:
I left for Mecca for Hajj-at-Tamattu’ assuming Ihram for ‘Umra. I reached Mecca three days be –
fore the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja). Some people of Mecca said to me, “Your Hajj will be like
the Hajj performed by the people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of assuming Ihram from
the Miqat). So I went to ‘Ata’ asking him his view about it. He said, “Jabir bin ‘Abdullah narrated to
me, ‘I performed Hajj with Allah’s Apostle on the day when he drove camels with him. The people
had assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf
round the Ka’ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in
Mecca) as non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume
Ihram for Hajj and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for ‘Umra
only. They asked, ‘How can we make it ‘Umra (Tamattu’) as we have intended to perform Hajj?’ The
Prophet said, ‘Do what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done

the same, but I cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).’ So,
they did (what he ordered them to do).”

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
‘Ali and ‘Uthman differed regarding Hajj-at-Tamattu’ while they were at ‘Usfan (a familiar place

saw that, he assumed Ihram for both Hajj and ‘Umra.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 625:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever Ibn ‘Umar intended to go to Mecca he used to oil himself with a sort of oil that had no
pleasant smell, then he would go to the Mosque of Al-Hulaita and offer the prayer, and then ride.
When he mounted well on his Mount and the Mount stood up straight, he would proclaim the in –
tention of assuming Ihram, and he used to say that he had seen the Prophet doing the same.
