2713. It was narrated that Ja'far bin Muḥammad said: “My father said: ‘We came to Jābir and asked him about the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ. He told us that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Had I known when I set out what I know now, I would have brought the Hadī (sacrificial animal) with me and I would not have made it Umrah. Whoever does not have a Hadī with him, let him exit Iḥrām and make it Umrah.’” ‘Alī, may Allāh be pleased with him, came from Yemen with a Hadī, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ brought a Hadī from Al-Madīnah. Fāṭimah had put on a dyed garment and applied kohl to her eyes, and he (‘Alī) said: “I went to the Prophet ﷺ to complain about that and find out whether she could do that. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, Fāṭimah has put on a dyed garment and applied kohl to her eyes, and she said, the Messenger of Allāh
تold me to do that.' He said: 'She is telling the truth, she is telling the truth, she is telling the truth. I told her to do that.'"

Commentary
"Had I known": The beginning part of the narration has been curtailed. In reality, in the Farewell Hajj, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his Companions had entered Iḥrām with the intention of performing the Hajj, but Allāh's Command descended that 'Umrah should also be performed during the days of Hajj. During the period of ignorance, people considered performing 'Umrah during the days of Hajj an enormity. The Prophet ﷺ made a general announcement that those who did not have the sacrificial animal with them should alter their Hajj Iḥrām into an 'Umrah Iḥrām. They should then perform 'Umrah and come out of Iḥrām. They should enter Iḥrām for Hajj later.
