ahmad:2832ʿAbd al-Ṣamad from my father > Ayyūb > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked on the Day of Sacrifice, "O Messenger of Allah, a man slaughtered [an animal] before throwing stones [at Jamrat] or shaving [his head] before slaughtering [the animal]." He replied, "There is no harm in that." It was said, "Then, he was not asked about anything that day except that he gathered both hands as if he was throwing with them, and he said, 'There is no harm, there is no harm.'"

سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْمِيَ أَوْ حَلَقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ فَقَالَ لَا حَرَجَ قَالَ فَمَا سُئِلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلا قَبَضَ بِكَفَّيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَرْمِي بِهِمَا وَيَقُولُ لَا حَرَجَ لَا حَرَجَ

bukhari:1735ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Yazīd b. Zurayʿ > Khālid > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ was asked (as regards the ceremonies of Hajj) at Mina on the Day of Nahr and he replied that there was no harm. Then a man said to him, "I got my head shaved before slaughtering." He replied, "Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it." (Another) man said, "I did the Rami (of the Jimar) after midday." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "There was no harm in it."  

البخاري:١٧٣٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسْأَلُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِمِنًى فَيَقُولُ لاَ حَرَجَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ قَالَ اذْبَحْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ وَقَالَ رَمَيْتُ بَعْدَ مَا أَمْسَيْتُ فَقَالَ لاَ حَرَجَ  

bukhari:1736ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿĪsá b. Ṭalḥah > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped (for a while near the Jimar at Mina) during his last Hajj and the people started asking him questions. A man said, "Ignorantly I got my head shaved before slaughtering." The Prophet replied, "Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it." Another man said, "Unknowingly I slaughtered the Hadi before doing the Rami." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do Rami now and there is no harm in it." So, on that day, when the Prophet ﷺ was asked about anything (about the ceremonies of Hajj) done before or after (its stated time) his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."

abudawud:1983Naṣr b. ʿAlī > Yazīd b. Zurayʿ > Khālid > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ was asked (about rites of Hajj) on the day of stay at Mina. He said: No harm. A man asked him: I got myself shaved before I slaughtered. He said: Slaughter, there is no harm. He again asked: The evening came but I did not throw stones at the jamrah. He replied: Throw stones now ; there is no harm.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُسْأَلُ يَوْمَ مِنًى فَيَقُولُ لاَ حَرَجَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ قَالَ اذْبَحْ وَلاَ حَرَجَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ وَلَمْ أَرْمِ قَالَ ارْمِ وَلاَ حَرَجَ  

ahmad:6800ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Mālik b. Anas > al-Zuhrī > ʿĪsá b. Ṭalḥah > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr > a man

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I did not feel any discomfort before throwing (the stones). He said, 'Throw and there is no harm.' Another person said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I shaved (my head) before slaughtering (the animal).' He said, 'Slaughter and there is no harm.' So nothing was asked on that day about something done early or delayed except that he said, 'Do it and there is no harm.'"

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ نَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ؟ قَالَ ارْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ قَالَ آخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنْحَرَ؟ قَالَ انْحَرْ وَلَا حَرَجَ فَمَا سُئِلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قُدِّمَ وَلَا أُخِّرَ إِلَّا قَالَ افْعَلْ وَلَا حَرَجَ

‘Abd Allaah bin ‘Amr bin Al ‘As said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ stopped during the Farewell Pilgrimage at Mina, as the people were to ask him(about the rites of Hajj). A man came and said Apostle of Allaah being ignorant, I shaved before sacrificing. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ replied “Sacrifice, for no harm will come.” Another man came and said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, being ignorant, I sacrificed before throwing the pebbles.” He replied “Throw them for no harm will come.” He (the Prophet) was not asked about anything which had been done before or after its proper time without saying “Do it, for no harm will come.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2014)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ لِلنَّاسِ عَامَ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَنَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ قَالَ «ارْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ» قَالَ آخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَشْعُرْ فَحَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ قَالَ «اذْبَحْ وَلَا حَرَجَ» قَالَ فَمَا سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قُدِّمَ وَلَا أُخِّرَ إِلَّا قَالَ افْعَلْ وَلَا حَرَجَ

[Machine] He said: A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "I have shaved before slaughtering." He said: "There is no harm." Then another person said: " I have thrown pebbles (for stoning) after Maghrib." He said: "There is no harm." I did not ask him anything that day except that he said: "There is no harm." And he did not command anything from expiation. This is a sound chain of narration.
