Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) reciting the Talbiyah for Hajj, but when we had performed the Tawaf of the House of Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Consider it as 'Umrah, except for those who have sacrificial animals with them; they cannot come out of Ihram. So we made it 'Umrah and became halal (came out of Ihram). When the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah came, we again recited the Talbiyah for Hajj and set out towards Mina.
