Abdullah bin Umar said At the Farewell Pilgrimage the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم put on ihram first for ‘Umrah and afterwards for Hajj and drove the sacrificial animals along with him from Dhu Al Hulaifah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم first raised his voice in talbiyah for ‘Umrah and afterwards he did so for Hajj; and the people along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did it first for ‘Umrah and afterwards for Hajj. Some of the people had brought sacrificial animals and others had not, so when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to Makkah, he said to the people. Those of you who have brought sacrificial animals must not treat as lawful anything which has become unlawful for you till you complete your Hajj; but those of you who have not brought sacrificial animals should go round the House (Kaabah) and run between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah, clip their hair, put off ihram, and afterwards raise their voice in talbiyah for Hajj and bring sacrificial animals. Those who cannot get sacrificial animals should fast three days during Hajj and seven days when they return to their families. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then performed circumambulation when he came to Makkah first touching the corner then running during three circuits out of seven and walking during four and when he had finished his circumambulation of the House (Kaabah) he prayed two rak’ahs at Maqam Ibrahim, then giving the salutation and departing he went to Al Safa’ and ran seven times between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. After that he did not treat anything as lawful which had become unlawful for him till he had completed his Hajj, sacrificed his animals on the day of sacrifice, went quickly and performed the circumambulation of the House (the Kaabah), after which all that had been unlawful became lawful for him. Those people who had brought sacrificial animals did as the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did.

Hafsah, wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , how is it that the people have put off their ihram and you did not put off your ihram after your ‘Umrah. He said I have matted my hair and garlanded my sacrificial animal, so I shall not put off my ihram till I sacrifice my sacrificial animals.
