"We came with the Messenger of Allah on the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah. The prophet said: 'Exit Ihram and make it Umrah.' We were distressed and upset by that. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'O people, exit Ihram. Were if not for the Hadi that I brought with me, I would have done what you are doing.' So we exited Ihram, and had intercourse with our wives, ad we did everything that the non-Muhrim does until the day of At-Tarwiyah, when we put Makkah behind us (When we headed for Mina) and entered Ihram for Hajj." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2994)   

أحمد:١٤٢٣٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَدِمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَرْبَعٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ ذِيالْحِجَّةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً فَضَاقَتْ بِذَلِكَ صُدُورُنَا وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْنَا فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَحِلُّوا فَلَوْلَا الْهَدْيُ الَّذِي مَعِي لَفَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ فَفَعَلْنَا وَطِئْنَا النِّسَاءَ مَا يَفْعَلُ الْحَلَالُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عَشِيَّةُ التَّرْوِيَةِ أَوْ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ جَعَلْنَا مَكَّةَ بِظَهْرٍ وَلَبَّيْنَا بِالْحَجِّ

muslim:1216bIbn Numayr from my father > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Abū Sulaymān > ʿAṭāʾ > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

We entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the state of Ihram for Hajj. When we came to Mecca he commanded us to put off Ihram and make it for 'Umra. We felt it (the command) hard for us, and our hearts were anguished on account of this and it (this reaction of the people) reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We do not know whether he received (this news) from the Heaven (through revelation) or from the people. (Whatever the case might be) he said; O people, put off Ihram. If there were not the sacrificial animals with me, I would have done as you do. So we put off the Ihram (after performing Umra), and we had intercourse with our wives and did everything which a non-Muhrim does (applying perfume, putting on clothes, etc.), and when It was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhu'l-Hijja) we turned our back to Mecca (in order to go to Mini, 'Arafat) and we put on lhram for Hajj.

أَهْلَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ وَنَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَضَاقَتْ بِهِ صُدُورُنَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَا نَدْرِي أَشَىْءٌ بَلَغَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْ شَىْءٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَحِلُّوا فَلَوْلاَ الْهَدْىُ الَّذِي مَعِي فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلْتُمْ قَالَ فَأَحْلَلْنَا حَتَّى وَطِئْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَفَعَلْنَا مَا يَفْعَلُ الْحَلاَلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَجَعَلْنَا مَكَّةَ بِظَهْرٍ أَهْلَلْنَا بِالْحَجِّ
