Volume 3, Book 44, Number 683:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-
Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ordered us to change
our intentions of the Ihram for’Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the ‘Umra
and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said
surprisingly, “Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?” Jabir moved his
hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet he delivered a sermon and said, “I have
been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and
am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the
Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram.” At
that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked “O Allah’s Apostle! Is this permission for us only or is it
forever?” The Prophet replied, “It is forever.” In the meantime ‘Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen
and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet has intended. (According to another man, ‘Ali was say –
ing Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah’s Apostle’s). The Prophet told him to keep on the Ihram and let
him share the Hadi with him.
