'Imran bin Husain said: There was revealed the verse of Tamattu' in Hajj in the Book of Allah and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded us to perform it. and then no verse was revealed abrogating the Tamattu' (form of Hajj), and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not forbid to do it till he died. So whatever a person said was his personal opinion. A hadith like this is transmitted on the authority of Imran bin Husain, but with this variation that he ('Imran) said: We did that (Tamattu') in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he did not say anything but he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us to do it.

Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed Tamattu' in Hajjat-ul-Wada'. He first put on Ihram for 'Umrah and then for Hajj. and then offered animal sacrifice. So he drove the sacrificial animals with him from Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commenced Ihram of 'Umrah and thus pronounced Talbiya for 'Umrah. and then (put on Ihram for Hajj) and pronounced Talbiya for Hajj. And the people performed Tamattu' in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . They put on Ihram for 'Umrah (first) and then for Hajj. Some of them had sacrificial animals which they had brought with them, whereas some of them had none to sacrifice. So when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to Makkah, he said to the people: He who amongst you has brought sacrificial animals along with him must not treat as lawful anything which has become unlawful for him till he has completed the Hajj; and he, who amongst you has not brought the sacrificial animals should circumambulate the House, and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwah and clip (his hair) and put off the Ihram, and then again put on the Ihram for Hajj and offer sacrifice of animals. But he who does not find the sacrificial animal, he should observe fast for three days during the Hajj and for seven days when he returns to his family. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulated (the House) when he came to Makkah: he first kissed the corner (of the Ka’bah containing the Black Stone), then ran in three circuits out of seven and walked in four circuits. And then when he had finished the circumambulation of the House he observed two rak'ahs of prayer at the Station (of Ibrahim), and then pronounced Salaam (for concluding the rak'ahs), and departed and came 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 till he had completed his Hajj and sacrificed his animal on the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja). and then went back quickly (to Makkah) and performed circumambulation of the House (known as tawaf ifada) after which all that was unlawful for him became lawful; and those who had brought the sacrificial animals along with them did as Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had done.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha. The wife of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , concerning his Tamattu' of Hajj and 'Umrah and performing of Tamattu' by people in his company.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , said: Messenger of Allah. what about people who have put off Ihram whereas you have not put it off after your 'Umrah? He said: I have stuck my hair and have driven my sacrificial animal, and would not, therefore, put off Ihram until I have sacrificed the animal.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said: Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) what is the matter with you that you have not put off Ihram? The rest of the hadith is the same.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): What is the matter with people that they have put off Ihram, whereas you have not put it off after your 'Umrah'? He said: I have driven my sacrificial animal and stuck my hair, and it is not permissible for me to put off Ihram unless I have completed the Hajj.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said: Messenger of Allah; the rest of the hadith is the same and (the concluding words of the Holy Prophet): "I won't put off Ihram until I have sacrificed the animal."

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded his wives that they should put off Ihram during the year of Hajj (at-ul-Wada') whereupon she (Hafsa) said: What hinders you that you have not put off Ihram? Thereupon he said: I have stuck my hair and driven my sacrificial animal along with me and it is not permissible to put off Ihram (under this condition until I have sacrificed the animal.

Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) set out for 'Umrah during the turmoil, and he said: If I am detained (from going to) the House, we would do the same as we did with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . So he went out and put on Ihram for 'Umrah and moved on until he reached al-Baida'. He turned towards his Companions and said: There is one command for both of them and I call you as my witness (and say) that verify I have made Hajj with 'Umrah compulsory for me. He proceeded until, when he came to the House, he circumambulated it seven times and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah seven times, and made no addition to it and thought it to be sufficient for him and offered sacrifice.

Nafi' reported that 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah and Salim bin'Abdullah said to 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) at the time when Hajjaj came to fight against Ibn Zubair: There would be no harm if you do not (proceed) for Hajj this year, for we fear that there would be fight among people which would cause obstruction between you and the House, whereupon he said: If there would be obstruction between me and that (Ka’bah), I would do as Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did. I was with him (the Holy Prophet) when the infidels of Quraish caused obstructions between him (the Holy Prophet) and the House. I call you as my witness (to the fact) that I have made 'Umrah essential for me. He proceeded until he came to Dhu'l-Hulaifa and pronounced Talbiya for 'Umrah, and said: If the way Is clear forme, I would then complete my 'Umrah but If there is some obstruction between me and that (the Ka’bah). I would then do what Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had done (at the occasion of Hudaibiya), and I was with him (the Holy Prophet). and then recited: "Verily in the Messenger of Allah, there is a model pattern for you" (xxxiii. 21). He then moved on until he came to the rear side of al-Baida' and said: There is one command for both of them automatically) (Hajj and 'Umrah). If I am detained (in the performance) of 'Umrah, I am (automatically detained (in the performance) of Hajj (too). I call you as witness that Hajj along with 'Umrah I had made essential for me. (I am performing Hajj and 'Umrah as Qiran.) He then bought sacrificial animals at Qudaid and then circumambulated the House and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah once (covering both Hajj and 'Umrah), and did not put off Ihram until on the Day of Sacrifice in the month of Dhu'l-Hijja.
