Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abdullah and Salim, the sons of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), came to him at a time when Hajjaj bin Yusuf had come to Makkah Mukarramah with the intention of fighting Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him). They said,“We fear that this year there will be fighting among the people and you may be prevented from reaching the Sacred Sanctuary. Would it not be better if you stayed back this year and did not go for Hajj?”Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) replied,“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also set out from Madinah Munawwarah, and the disbelievers of Quraysh came between him and the Sacred Sanctuary. So, if any obstacle comes before me, I will do what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. I make you witnesses that I have made the intention for ‘Umrah. If my way is left open, I will perform ‘Umrah, and if anything comes between me and the Ka‘bah, I will do what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and I was with him at that time.”Then he set out, and upon reaching Dhu’l-Hulayfah, he recited the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah. Then he recited this verse:“Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example.”After that, he continued on his way, and when he reached the place of Bayda’, he said,“The matter of Hajj and ‘Umrah is the same. I make you witnesses that I have now made the intention for Hajj along with my ‘Umrah.”So he continued on his way, and upon reaching Qudayd, he bought a sacrificial animal, and performed one Tawaf and one Sa‘i for both, and remained in this state until the Day of Sacrifice.
