Abu Musa (RA) reported that he used to deliver religious verdict in favor of Hajj Tamattu'. A person said to him: Exercise restraint in delivering some of your religious verdicts, for you do not know what the Commander of Believers has introduced in the rites (of Hajj) after you (when you were away in Yemen). He (Abu Musa) met him (Hadrat Umar) subsequently and asked him (about it), whereupon 'Umar said: I know that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (May peace be upon him) and also his Companions did that (observed Tamattu'), but I do not approve that the married persons should have intercourse with their wives under the shade of the trees, and then set out for Hajj with water trickling down from their heads.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported that 'Uthman (RA) used to forbid Tamattu', whereas 'Ali (RA) ordered to do it. 'Uthman said a word to 'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear.

This hadith has been narrated by Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman (RA) met at 'Usfan; and 'Uthman used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umrah (during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did, but you forbid it? Thereupon 'Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umrah).

Abu Dharr (RA) said that Tamattu' in Hajj was a special (concession) for the Companions of Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) .

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: Tamattu' in Hajj was a special concession for us.

Abu Dharr (RA) said: Two are the Mut'as which were not permissible but only for us, i. e. temporary marriage with women and Tamattu' in Hajj.

'Abdul Rahman bin Abi al-Sha'tha' reported: I came to Ibrahim al-Nakha' and Ibrahim Taimi and said: I intend to combine 'Umrah and Hajj this year, whereupon Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said: But your father did not make such intention. Ibrahim narrated on the authority of his father that he passed by Abu Dharr (RA) at Rabdha, and made a mention of that, whereupon he said: It was a special concession for us and not for you.

Ghunaim bin Qais said: I asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (RA) about Mut'ah, whereupon he said: We did that, and it was the day when he was an unbeliever living in (one of the) houses of Makkah.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters and in his narration (he) refers to Mu'awiyahh.
