English translation
[2959] 155 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Mūsā [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: “I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he was halting in Al-Bathā', and he said: 'For what have you entered Ihram?' I said: 'I have entered Ihram for the same as the Prophet ﷺ has entered Ihram.' He said: 'Have you brought a sacrificial animal?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Circumambulate the House and go between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, then exit Ihram.' So I circumambulated the House and went between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, then I went to a woman among my people who combed my hair and washed my head. I used to give the people Fatwas to that effect during the leadership of Abû Bakr and the leadership of 'Umar. It was during Hajj season that a man came to me and said: 'You do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced concerning the rituals.' I said: 'O people, whoever heard a Fatwa from us (about exiting Ihrâm) let him wait, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you, so follow him.' When he came I said: 'O Commander of the Believers, what is this that you have introduced concerning the rituals?' He said: 'We follow the Book of Allâh, and Allâh says, "And perform properly the Hajj and Umrah..."[1] And we follow the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ did not exit Ihrâm until he had offered the sacrifice.'"
