[2990] 181 - (...) Nâfi' narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Abdullâh and Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh spoke to 'Abdullâh when Al-Hajjâj came to fight Ibn Az-Zubair, and said: "It does not matter if you do not do Hajj this year; we are afraid that there will be fighting among the people and you will not be able to reach the House." He said: "If I am prevented from reaching the House, I will do what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did when I was with him, when the disbelievers of the Quraish prevented him from reaching the House. I ask you to bear witness that I have committed myself to perform Umrah." He set off until he reached Dhul-Hulaifah, where he recited the Talbiyah for Umrah, then he said: "If the way is clear for me, I will complete my Umrah, and if the way is blocked, I will do what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did when I was with him.” Then he recited: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh you have a good example to follow”...[1] Then he traveled on until he reached Zahr Al-Baidâ’, where he said: “They are both the same. If I am prevented from performing Umrah, then I will be prevented from performing Hajj. I ask you to bear witness that I have committed myself to performing Hajj with Umrah.” He traveled on and bought a sacrificial animal in Qudaid, then he performed one Tawâf for both around the House and between As-Şafâ and Al-Marwah, then he did not exit Ihrâm until he exited Ihrâm from both on the Day of Sacrifice.”
