2683. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar that his sister, Ḥaṣṣah, said: "I said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Why is it that the people have exited Iḥrām and you have not exited Iḥrām following your Umrah?' He said: 'I have matted my hair and garlanded my Hadī (sacrificial animal), so I will not exit Iḥrām until I exit Iḥrām after Hajj.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
2682 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أُخْتِهِ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ حَلُّوا، وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ مِنْ عُمْرَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَبَّدْتُ رَأْسِي، وَقَلَّدْتُ هَدْيِي، فَلَا أُحِلُّ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ مِنَ الْحَجِّ»

1. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had entered Ihrām intending both Hajj and 'Umrah simultaneously. It was going to continue for a fortnight. He, therefore, applied Talbīd: in the state of pilgrim sanctity he put upon his head some gum or something glutinous in order that his hair might become compacted together, to preserve it in the state in which it was, lest it should become sluggy, or disheveled, or dusty, during the state of Ihrām. Most of the Companions were merely performing 'Umrah. They, therefore, did not need Talbīd. 2. The Talbīd or the gum-application is neither compulsory or forbidden. It is left to the choice or discretion of the Muhrim.
