Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived (in Makkah) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah, reciting the Talbiyah along with his companions. Then he said that those who do not have a sacrificial animal should intend for ‘Umrah instead of Hajj (and after completing ‘Umrah, become halal, then enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj).
