English translation
1795. Narrated Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī رضي الله عنه: I came to the Prophet ﷺ at Al-Baṭhā' while his camel was kneeling down and he asked me, "Have you intended to perform the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked me, "With what intention have you assumed Ihrām?" I replied, "I have assumed Ihrām with the same intention as that of the Prophet ﷺ." He said, "You have done well. Perform the Tawāf of the Ka'bah and (the Sāy) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa and then finish the Ihrām." So, I performed the Tawāf around the Ka'bah and (the Sāy) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa and then went to a woman of the tribe of Qais who cleaned my head from lice. Later I assumed the Ihrām for Hajj. I used to give the verdict of doing the same till the caliphate of 'Umar who said, "If you follow Allāh's Book (the Qur'an) then it orders you to remain in the state of Ihrām till you finish from Hajj,(1) if you follow the Prophet ﷺ then he did not finish his Ihrām till the Hady (sacrifice) had reached its place of slaughtering (Hajj-al-Qirān)."
