Kuraib, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), says: Once I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), "O Abu al-Abbas! You say that a person who is not taking a sacrificial animal with him for Hajj should perform Tawaf of the House of Allah and, after performing Umrah, become halal (come out of the state of Ihram), and that the pilgrim who is taking a sacrificial animal with him, his Hajj and Umrah are combined. But people do not say this?" Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Woe to you! When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) set out, they mentioned only Hajj at the time of entering Ihram. Later, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded that 'whoever does not have a sacrificial animal should perform Tawaf of the House of Allah and, after performing Umrah, become halal (come out of Ihram).' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah! This is the Ihram of Hajj?' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'This is not Hajj, rather it is Umrah.'"
