2747. It was narrated from Nâfi' that Ibn 'Umar wanted to perform Hajj in the year when Al-Hajjâj was besieging Ibn Az-Zubair, and it was said to him: "It seems that there will be fighting between them, and I am afraid that you will be prevented from performing Hajj." He said: "In the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ you have a good example. I am going to do what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did. I bear witness to you that I have resolved to perform Umrah." Then he set out, and when he was in Zâhir Al-Baidâ', he said: "Hajj and Umrah are the same thing; I bear witness to you that I have resolved to perform Hajj with my Umrah." And he brought along a Hadî (sacrificial animal) that he had bought in Qudaid. Then he set out and entered Ihrâm for them both. When he came to Makkah he circumambulated the House and (did Sa'i) between Aş-Şafâ and Al-Marwah. Then he did not do any thing more than that, and he did not offer a sacrifice, or shave his head, or cut his hair; he remained in Ihrâm until the Day of Sacrifice. Then he slaughtered his Hadî and shaved his head, and he thought
that he had completed the Tawâf of Hajj and Umrah in the first Tawâf. Ibn 'Umar said: "That is what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did." (Sahîh)

Commentary
"A good example": What he means to state is that even Allâh's Messenger ﷺ was prevented from reaching the House of Allâh (for of Umrah the Hudaibiyah). We will act as the Prophet ﷺ has acted. We will slaughter our sacrificial animals in the spot where we have been stopped. We will have our haircut and come out of Ihrâm.
