It was narrated that Abu Musa said: “I came to Messenger of Allah (SAW) while he was halting in Al-Batha, and he said to me: ‘Did you intend to perform Hajj?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘For what have you entered Ihram?’ I said: ‘I have entered Ihram for the same as the Prophet (SAW) has entered Ihram.’ He said: ‘Have you bought a sacrificial animal?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Circumambulate the house and go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then exit Ihram.’ So I Circumambulated the House and went between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then I went to a woman among my people who combed my hair and washed my head. I used to give the people Fatwas to that effect during the leadership of Abu Bakr and the leadership of Umar. It was during Hajj season that a man came to me and said: ‘you do not know what the Commander of the Believer has introduced concerning the rituals.’ I said: ‘O people, whoever heard a Fatwa from us (about exiting Ihram) let him wait, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you, so follow him.’ When he came I said: ‘O Commander of the Believers, what is this that you have introduces concerning the rituals?’ He said: ‘We follow the Book of Allah and Allah says, “And perform properly the Hajj and Umrah …” and we follow the Sunnah of our Prophet (SAW), and the Prophet (SAW) did not exit Ihram until he had offered the sacrifice.’

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ مَهْدِىٍّ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِى مُوسَى - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ « بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ أَهْلَلْتُ بِإِهْلاَلِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « هَلْ سُقْتَ مِنْ هَدْىٍ ». قُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَ « فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ حِلَّ ». فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَوْمِى فَمَشَطَتْنِى وَغَسَلَتْ رَأْسِى فَكُنْتُ أُفْتِى النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ فِى إِمَارَةِ أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَإِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ فَإِنِّى لَقَائِمٌ بِالْمَوْسِمِ إِذْ جَاءَنِى رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِى مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى شَأْنِ النُّسُكِ. فَقُلْتُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كُنَّا أَفْتَيْنَاهُ بِشَىْءٍ فَلْيَتَّئِدْ فَهَذَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَادِمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فَبِهِ فَائْتَمُّوا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا هَذَا الَّذِى أَحْدَثْتَ فِى شَأْنِ النُّسُكِ قَالَ إِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ ( وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ) وَإِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّنَا عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ فَإِنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى نَحَرَ الْهَدْىَ.

It was narrated that Abu Musa [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) had sent me to Yemen, and I came back during the year when he went for Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to me: ‘O Abu Musa, what did you say when you entered Ihram?’ I said: ‘Here I am at Your Service, for the same purpose as the Prophet (SAW) entered Ihram.’ He said: ‘Have you brought a sacrificial animal?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then go and circumambulate the House and go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then exit Ihram.’””Then he quoted a hadith like that of Shubah and Sufyan (no. 2957, 2959).

وَحَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِى مُوسَى - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَعَثَنِى إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ فَوَافَقْتُهُ فِى الْعَامِ الَّذِى حَجَّ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَا أَبَا مُوسَى كَيْفَ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَحْرَمْتَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ إِهْلاَلاً كَإِهْلاَلِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَقَالَ « هَلْ سُقْتَ هَدْيًا ». فَقُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَ « فَانْطَلِقْ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ. ثُمَّ أَحِلَّ ». ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَسُفْيَانَ.

It was narrated that Abu Musa that he used to issue a Fatwa allowing Mutah, and a man said to him: “Exercise restraint in some of your Fatwa, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced concerning the rituals.” After that I met him and asked him about that. Umar said: ‘I know that the Prophet (SAW) and his Companions did that, but I did not want married people to have intercourse beneath the trees and then go out for Hajj with their heads dripping.’

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِى مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِى مُوسَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُفْتِى بِالْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ رُوَيْدَكَ بِبَعْضِ فُتْيَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِى مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى النُّسُكِ بَعْدُ حَتَّى لَقِيَهُ بَعْدُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَدْ فَعَلَهُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَلَكِنْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَظَلُّوا مُعْرِسِينَ بِهِنَّ فِى الأَرَاكِ ثُمَّ يَرُوحُونَ فِى الْحَجِّ تَقْطُرُ رُءُوسُهُمْ.

Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: “Uthman used to forbid Mutah (Tamattu) and Ali used to enjoin it. Uthman said something to Ali, then Ali said: ‘You know that we did Tamattu with the Messenger of Allah (SAW).’ He said: ‘Yes, but we were afraid then.’”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَكَانَ عَلِىٌّ يَأْمُرُ بِهَا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِىٍّ كَلِمَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِىٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ.

It was narrated that Saeed bin Al-Musayyab said: “Ali and Uthman [may Allah be pleased with them] met in Usfan, and Uthman used to forbid Tamattu and Umrah (during the Hajj season). Ali said: ‘what do you mean by forbidding something that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) did?’ Uthman said: ‘Leave us alone.’ He said: ‘I cannot leave you alone.’ When Ali saw that, he entered Ihram for both of them together. ”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عَلِىٌّ وَعُثْمَانُ - رضى الله عنهما - بِعُسْفَانَ فَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ أَوِ الْعُمْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى أَمْرٍ فَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تَنْهَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ دَعْنَا مِنْكَ. فَقَالَ إِنِّى لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَدَعَكَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى عَلِىٌّ ذَلِكَ أَهَلَّ بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا.

It was narrated that Abu Dharr [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “Al-Mutah in Hajj was just for the Companions of Muhammad (SAW).”

وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِىِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كَانَتِ الْمُتْعَةُ فِى الْحَجِّ لأَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- خَاصَّةً.

Abu Dharr [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “Two Al-Mutah were permitted to us only” – meaning Mutah (temporary marriage) with women and Mutah (Tamattu) in Hajj.

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِىِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رضى الله عنه لاَ تَصْلُحُ الْمُتْعَتَانِ إِلاَّ لَنَا خَاصَّةً. يَعْنِى مُتْعَةَ النِّسَاءِ وَمُتْعَةَ الْحَجِّ.

It was narrated that Ghunaim bin Qais said: “I asked Sad bin Abi Waqqas [may Allah be pleased with them] about Mutah (Tamattu) and he said: ‘We did that, and at time he was a disbeliever in the houses of the Makkah.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ الْفَزَارِىِّ - قَالَ سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِىُّ عَنْ غُنَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ فَعَلْنَاهَا وَهَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ كَافِرٌ بِالْعُرُشِ. يَعْنِى بُيُوتَ مَكَّةَ.

It was narrated that Mutarrif said: “Imran bin Husain said to me: ‘I will tell you a hadith today, by means of which Allah will benefit you after today. Know that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) allowed some of his family to perform Umrah in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and no verse was revealed which abrogated that, and he did not forbid it before he passed away. After that, it does not matter what anyone else thinks.’”

وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِىُّ عَنْ أَبِى الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِى عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ إِنِّى لأُحَدِّثُكَ بِالْحَدِيثِ الْيَوْمَ يَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَدْ أَعْمَرَ طَائِفَةً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فِى الْعَشْرِ فَلَمْ تَنْزِلْ آيَةٌ تَنْسَخُ ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَضَى لِوَجْهِهِ ارْتَأَى كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بَعْدُ مَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْتَئِىَ.

It was narrated that Mutarrif said: “Imran bin Husain said to me: ‘I will tell you a hadith, by means of which Allah will benefit you after today. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) joined Hajj and Umrah, then he did not forbid it until he died, and no Quran (Ayat) was revealed forbidding that. And I was always greeted until I was cauterized, then the greetings ceased, then when I stopped (being cauterized), the greeting returned.

وَحَدَّثَنِى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِى عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَنْفَعَكَ بِهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- جَمَعَ بَيْنَ حَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ قُرْآنٌ يُحَرِّمُهُ وَقَدْ كَانَ يُسَلَّمُ عَلَىَّ حَتَّى اكْتَوَيْتُ فَتُرِكْتُ ثُمَّ تَرَكْتُ الْكَىَّ فَعَادَ.
