Sabi bin Ma’bad says: I was a Christian, then I accepted Islam and put on the ihram for both Hajj and ‘Umrah together. Salman bin Rabi’ah and Zayd bin Suhan heard me reciting the talbiyah for both Hajj and ‘Umrah together at Qadisiyyah, so both of them said:“He is even more ignorant than his camel.”What they said felt as if a mountain had been placed upon me. I went to ‘Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned this to him. He turned to both of them and reproached them, then turned to me and said:“You have found the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you have found the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”In his narration, Hisham says that Shaqiq said:“Both I and Masruq repeatedly went to Sabi bin Ma’bad to ask him about this hadith.”

Sabi bin Ma'bad said: I had accepted Islam only a short time ago from Christianity. I did not leave any deficiency in performing acts of worship. I assumed the Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah together. Then he narrated this hadith in the same manner as mentioned above.
