2979. It was narrated from Ibrâhim bin Abu Musa: "Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari used to issue rulings concerning Tamattu'. Then a man said to him: 'Withhold some of your rulings, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced into the rites after you.' (Abu Musa said:) 'Then when I met him later on, I asked him.' 'Umar said: 'I know that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and his Companions did it, but I did not like that people should lie with their wives in the shade of the Arâk trees and then go out for Hajj with their heads dripping,' (i.e. due to the bath after sexual relations)."(Sahih)

Commentary
a. The Hadith also proves that 'Umar ﷺ was not of the opinion that Hajj Tamattu' is religiously forbidden.
b. The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj Qirân. What is reported from 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ performed Tamattu', he meant its linguistic meaning, i.e., he benefited from 'Umrah and Hajj in only one journey. Or he meant that the Companions performed Tamattu' by the order of the Prophet ﷺ. He considered the order of the Prophet ﷺ, just as his own practice and used the word Tamattu' instead of Qirân.
