Hazrat Rabi’ah bin Abdullah al-Hudair narrates that I saw Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) on the pulpit of Basra, bare (in the state of Ihram), when he was the governor of Basra during the caliphate of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). People asked him about this matter, so it was told to the people that he had ordered the sacrificial animal to be garlanded, that is why he was bare. Then I met Hazrat Ibn Zubair and informed him about this matter. He said, "By the Lord of the Ka’bah, this is an innovation (bid’ah)."
