[2957] 154 - (1221) It was narrated that Abū Mūsā said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was halting in Al-Baṭḥā', and he said to me: 'Did you intend to perform Hajj?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'For what did you enter Iḥrām?' I said: 'I said: "Here I am at Your service, for the same as the Prophet ﷺ has entered Iḥrām.'" He said: 'You have done well. Circumambulate the House and go between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, then exit Iḥrām.' I circumambulated the Ka'bah and went between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, then I came to a woman of Banū Qais who rid my head of lice. Then I entered Iḥrām for Hajj. I continued to state Fatwa (religious rulings) to that effect for the people until the Khilāfah of 'Umar [may Allāh be pleased with them]." A man said to him: "O Abū Mūsā," or: "O 'Abdullāh bin Qais, exercise restraint in your Fatwa, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced with regard to the rituals after you." He said: "O people, whoever heard a Fatwa from us (about exiting Ihram) let him wait, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you, so follow him.” Then ‘Umar [may Allāh be pleased with them] came and I mentioned that to him, and he said: ‘We follow the Book of Allāh, and the Book of Allāh enjoins completing Hajj and Umrah. And we follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not exit Ihram until the sacrifice reached its destination.”

154 - (1221) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «أَحَجَجْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: «بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ، بِإِهْلَالٍ كَإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ، طُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَأَحِلَّ» قَالَ: فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي قَيْسٍ فَفَلَتْ رَأْسِي، ثُمَّ أَهْلَلْتُ بِالْحَجِّ قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ أُفْتِي بِهِ النَّاسَ، حَتَّى كَانَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا مُوسَى، أَوْ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، رُوَيْدَكَ بَعْضَ فُتْيَاكَ، فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي النُّسُكِ بَعْدَكَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ كُنَّا أَفْتَيْنَاهُ فُتْيَا فَلْيَتَّئِدْ، فَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَادِمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَبِهِ فَائْتَمُّوا»، قَالَ: فَقَدِمَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ فَإِنَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ يَأْمُرُ بِالتَّمَامِ، وَإِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ»
