2997. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "We came with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Exit Iḥrâm and make it 'Umrah.' We were distressed and upset by that. News of that reached the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: 'O people, exit Iḥrâm. Were it not for the Hadî that I brought with me, I
would have done what you are doing.' So we exited Ihrâm, and had intercourse with our wives, and we did everything that the non-Muḥrim does until the day of At-Tarwiyah, when we put Makkah behind us (when we headed for Mina) and entered Ihrâm for Hajj." (Hasan)

Commentary
The one who practices Tamattu' would enter Ihrâm for Hajj on the day of Tarwiyah i.e. the eighth day of Dhul-Hijjah, from Makkah, and set forth for Mina. The eighth day of the month of Dhul-Hijjah was called Yawm At-Tarwiyah because that day, while going forth to Mina, people caused their camels to drink plenty of water, so that they may not need to water them during the upcoming five days. In the Arabic language, the term Tarwiyah means making one drink water until one is filled.
