Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): O Abu al-Abbas! I am greatly astonished at the difference among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) regarding the Ihram of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: At this time, I know this matter among the people more than anyone else. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed only one Hajj in his entire life; from here the difference among the people arose. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with the intention of Hajj. When he had prayed two rak'ahs in the mosque of Dhul-Hulaifah, he assumed Ihram while sitting right there. People heard this and preserved it in their minds. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride. When the she-camel straightened up with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he again uttered the words of intention for Ihram. Some people heard these words because people used to come in different groups; they did not all come together at once. These people later began to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assumed Ihram when the she-camel straightened up with him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward. When he ascended the height of Bayda, he again recited the Talbiyah. Some people remembered this time and began to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assumed Ihram at the height of Bayda. Whereas the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made the intention of Ihram while sitting on his prayer place, but he repeated the Talbiyah at the time when his ride started moving, and also when he ascended the height of Bayda. Therefore, whoever wants to act upon the statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) should make the intention of Ihram while sitting at his place after completing the two rak'ahs of Ihram.
