English translation
[3009] 198 - (1240) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: "They used to think that 'Umrah during the months of Hajj was one of the greatest evils on earth, and they would make Muharram Ṣafar.[1] They would say: 'When the backs of the camels have healed and the tracks of the pilgrims have become erased and Ṣafar is over, 'Umrah becomes permissible for those who want to perform 'Umrah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions came on the fourth (of Dhul-Hijjah), reciting the Talbīyah for Hajj, and he told them to make it 'Umrah. This was too hard for them, and they said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, exiting Ihrām to what extent?' He said: 'Completely.'"
