That Ubaidullah bin ʿAbdullah and Salim bin ʿAbdullah informed him that they told Ibn ʿUmar when Ibn Az-Zubair was attacked by the army, saying "There is no harm for you if you did not perform Hajj this year. We are afraid that you may be prevented from reaching the Kaʿba." Ibn ʿUmar said "We set out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the non-believers of Quraish prevented us from reaching the Kaʿba, and so the Prophet ﷺ slaughtered his Hadi and got his head shaved." Ibn ʿUmar added, "I make you witnesses that I have made ʿUmra obligatory for me. And, Allah willing, I will go and then if the way to Kaʿba is clear, I will perform the Tawaf, but if I am prevented from going to the Kaʿba then I will do the same as the Prophet ﷺ did while I was in his company." Ibn ʿUmar then assumed Ihram for Umra from Dhul-Hulaifa and proceeded for a while and said, "The conditions of ʿUmra and Hajj are similar and I make you witnesses that I have made ʿUmra and Hajj obligatory for myself." So, he did not finish the Ihram till the day of Nahr (slaughtering) came, and he slaughtered his Hadi. He used to say, "I will not finish the Ihram till I perform the Tawaf, one Tawaf on the day of entering Mecca (i.e. of Safa and Marwa for both ʿUmra and Hajj).
