English translation
1568. Narrated Abū Shihāb: I left for Makkah for Hajj-at-Tamattu' assuming Iḥrām for 'Umra. I reached Makkah three days before the day of Tarwīya (8th Dhul-Hijjah). Some people of Makkah said to me, "Your Hajj will be like the Hajj performed by the people of Makkah (i.e., you will lose the superiority of assuming Iḥrām from the Miqāt). So I went to 'Aṭā' asking him his view about it. He said, "Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا narrated to me, 'I performed Hajj with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on the day when he drove camels with him. The people had assumed Iḥrām for Hajj-al-Ifrād. The Prophet ﷺ ordered them to finish their Iḥrām after Tawāf round the Ka'bah, and [Sa'y (going)] between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Makkah) as non-Muḥrim till the day of Tarwīya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijjah) when they should assume Iḥrām for Hajj and they were ordered to make the Iḥrām with which they had come, for 'Umra only. They asked, 'How can we make it 'Umra (Tamattu') as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hady with me, I would have done the same, but I cannot finish my Iḥrām till the Hady reaches its destination (i.e., is slaughtered')." So, they did (what he ordered them to do)."
