I left for Mecca for Hajj-at-Tamattuʿ assuming Ihram for ʿUmra. I reached Mecca three days before the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul-Hijja). Some people of Mecca said to me, "Your Hajj will be like the Hajj performed by the people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of assuming Ihram from the Miqat). So I went to ʿAta' asking him his view about it. He said, "Jabir bin ʿAbdullah narrated to me, 'I performed Hajj with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day when he drove camels with him. The people had assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet ﷺ ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf round the Kaʿba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Mecca) as non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume Ihram for Hajj and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for ʿUmra only. They asked, 'How can we make it ʿUmra (Tamattuʿ) as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done the same, but I cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).' So, they did (what he ordered them to do)."  

قَدِمْتُ مُتَمَتِّعًا مَكَّةَ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَدَخَلْنَا قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ لِي أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ تَصِيرُ الآنَ حَجَّتُكَ مَكِّيَّةً فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَطَاءٍ أَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ أَنَّهُ حَجَّ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ سَاقَ الْبُدْنَ مَعَهُ وَقَدْ أَهَلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرَدًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَحِلُّوا مِنْ إِحْرَامِكُمْ بِطَوَافِ الْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَصِّرُوا ثُمَّ أَقِيمُوا حَلاَلاً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَأَهِلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ وَاجْعَلُوا الَّتِي قَدِمْتُمْ بِهَا مُتْعَةً فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ نَجْعَلُهَا مُتْعَةً وَقَدْ سَمَّيْنَا الْحَجَّ فَقَالَ افْعَلُوا مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ فَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سُقْتُ الْهَدْىَ لَفَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَحِلُّ مِنِّي حَرَامٌ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُ فَفَعَلُوا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ أَبُو شِهَابٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مُسْنَدٌ إِلَّا هَذَا  

I came to Mecca as a Mutamattil for Umra (performing Umra first and then putting off Ihram and again entering into the state of Ihram for Hajj) four days before the day of Tarwiya (i. e. on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja). Thereupon the people said: Now yours is the Hajj of the Meccans. I went to 'Ata' b. Abi Rabah and asked his religious verdict. Ata' said: Jabir b. 'Abdullah al'Ansari (Allah be pleased with them) narrated to me that he performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year when he took sacrificial animals with him (i.e. during the 10th year of Hijra known as the Farewell Pilgrimage) and they had put on Ihram for Hajj only (as Mufrid). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Put off Ihram and circumambulate the House, and (run) between al-Safa and al-Marwa, and get your hair cut and stay as non-Muhrims. When it was the day of Tarwiya, then put on Ihram for Hajj and make lhram for Mut'a (you had put on Ihram for Hajj, but take it off after performing Umra and then again put on Ihram for Hajj). They said: How should we make it Mut'a although we entered upon lhram in the name of Hajj? He said: Do whatever I command you to do. Had I not brought sacrificial animals with me, I would have done as I have commanded you to do. But it is not permissible for me to put off Ihram till the sacrifice is offered. Then they also did accordingly.  

قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ مُتَمَتِّعًا بِعُمْرَةٍ قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ تَصِيرُ حَجَّتُكَ الآنَ مَكِّيَّةً فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ؓ أَنَّهُ حَجَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ سَاقَ الْهَدْىَ مَعَهُ وَقَدْ أَهَلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحِلُّوا مِنْ إِحْرَامِكُمْ فَطُوفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَصِّرُوا وَأَقِيمُوا حَلاَلاً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَأَهِلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ وَاجْعَلُوا الَّتِي قَدِمْتُمْ بِهَا مُتْعَةً قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَجْعَلُهَا مُتْعَةً وَقَدْ سَمَّيْنَا الْحَجَّ قَالَ افْعَلُوا مَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ فَإِنِّي لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سُقْتُ الْهَدْىَ لَفَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَحِلُّ مِنِّي حَرَامٌ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُ فَفَعَلُوا  

[Machine] I arrived in Mecca while enjoying the Umrah. We arrived three days before Tarwiyah, and the people of Mecca told me that my Hajj will now be categorized as a Makki Hajj. I visited Ata ibn Abi Rabah to seek his advice, and he said that Jabir ibn Abdullah told him that he performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Saaq Al-Budan, and they had entered Mecca for Hajj separately. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told them to start their Ihram by performing Tawaf around the Kaaba and between Safa and Marwa, and to continue their rituals until the day of Tarwiyah when they should enter into the state of Hajj. They should also consider the acts they have already performed as part of their Umrah. They asked how they could consider it an Umrah when they have already called it Hajj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do as I have commanded you. Had it not been for the fact that I have already slaughtered my animal, I would have done what I commanded you. But it is not permissible for me to perform a prohibited act until the place of sacrifice is reached." So they did as instructed, and the story of Suraqah ibn Malik is not mentioned.  

قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ وَأَنَا مُتَمَتِّعٌ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَقَدِمْنَا قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ تَصِيرُ الْآنَ حَجَّتُكَ مَكِّيَّةً فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ حَجَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ سَاقَ الْبُدْنَ وَقَدْ أَهَلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرَدًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَحِلُّوا مِنْ إِحْرَامِكُمْ بِطَوَافٍ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَأَقِيمُوا حَلَالًا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَأَهِلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ وَاجْعَلُوا الَّذِي قَدِمْتُمْ بِهَا مُتْعَةً» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَجْعَلُهَا مُتْعَةً وَقَدْ سَمَّيْنَا الْحَجَّ؟ فَقَالَ «افْعَلُوا مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ فَلَوْلَا أَنِّي سُقْتُ الْهَدْيَ لَفَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي لَا يَحِلُّ مِنِّي حَرَامٌ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ» فَفَعَلُوا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قِصَّةَ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and us, his companions, performed Hajj together until we reached Mecca on the morning of the fourth day of Dhul-Hijjah. We made tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba, and performed sa'i (walking) between Safa and Marwa. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded those who did not bring a sacrificial animal to perform hajj to do so. He did not give any specific instructions concerning women. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We waited until there were only five nights left between us and Arafah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to enter ihram (sacral state) and go to Arafah, while the sweat was dripping from our foreheads, and he himself had already performed the sa'i." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) continued, "So, we realized the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he stood up to address the people. He praised and thanked Allah and then mentioned what he had heard from the people. He said, 'You know that I am the most righteous among you, the most truthful, and the most sincere to Allah. If I had not sacrificed the sacrificial animal, I would have taken off ihram even if there was a matter that I wanted to proceed with and not completed it.' Jabir bin Abdullah said, 'We heard and obeyed, so we took off ihram.' Al-Layth said, 'He meant to enjoy the rights of marriage.' And Al-Layth did not mention the story of Suraqah bin Malik."
