Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the fatwa permitting Hajj Tamattu'. One day, a man came to him and said, "Hold back some of your fatwas; do you not know that behind you, the Commander of the Faithful has issued new rulings regarding the rites of Hajj?" When these two gentlemen met, Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about this. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I know that Hajj Tamattu' was performed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions as well, but I do not like that people spend the night with their wives under the shade of the peelu tree and then set out for Hajj in the morning while drops of water are still dripping from their heads."
