2720. It was narrated that Abû Wâ'il said: "Aṣ-Ṣubaî bin Ma'bad said: 'I was a Christian Bedouin, then I became Muslim. I was keen
to go for Jihâd but I learned that Hajj and “Umrah had been enjoined on me. I went to a man of my clan who was called Huraim bin ‘Abdullâh and asked him, and he said: “Put them together, then slaughter whatever you can of the Hadi.” So I entered Ihram for both together, and when I came to Al-‘Udhaib, I was met by Salmân bin Rabî‘ah and Zaid bin Sûhân, while I was uttering the Talbiyah for both. One of them said to the other: “He does not understand more than his camel!” I came to ‘Umar and said: “O Commander of the Belivers! I have become Muslim and I am keen to go for Jihâd, but I learned that Hajj and “Umrah were enjoined on me, so I went to Huraim bin ‘Abdullâh and said: ‘Hey you! I have learned that Hajj and “Umrah have been enjoined on me.’ He said: ‘Put them together then slaughter whatever you can of the Hadi.’ So I entered Ihram for both together, and when I came to Al-‘Udhaib I was met by Salmân bin Rabî‘ah and Zaid bin Sûhân, and one of them said to the other: ‘He does not understand more than his camel.’” ‘Umar said: “You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ.” (Sahih)

Commentary
1. “Then slaughter” because if Umrah is performed simultaneously, coupled with Hajj, the animal sacrifice becomes compulsory.
2. "He does not understand more than his camel" because they did not consider it correct to join Hajj and Umrah together.
