I came upon Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was at Al-Batha. He asked me, "Have you intended to perform the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "For what have you assumed lhram?" I replied," I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet ﷺ ." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Kaʿba and between Safa and Marwa." Then I went to one of the women of Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihram for Hajj. So, I used to give this verdict to the people till the caliphate of ʿUmar. When I told him about it, he said, "If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and ʿUmra (Hajj-at- Tamattuʿ) and if we follow the tradition of Messenger of Allah ﷺ then Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not finish his lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination (had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). (See Hadith No. 630)  

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ أَحَجَجْتَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِمَا أَهْلَلْتَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِإِهْلاَلٍ كَإِهْلاَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ انْطَلِقْ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ بَنِي قَيْسٍ فَفَلَتْ رَأْسِي ثُمَّ أَهْلَلْتُ بِالْحَجِّ فَكُنْتُ أُفْتِي بِهِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالتَّمَامِ وَإِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُ  

I came to the Prophet ﷺ at Al-Batha' while his camel was kneeling down and he asked me, "Have you intended to perform the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked me, 'With what intention have you assumed Ihram?" I replied, "I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet. He said, "You have done well. Perform the Tawaf of the Kaʿba and (the Sai) between As-Safa and Al- Marwa and then finish the Ihram." So, I performed the Tawaf around the Kaʿba and the Sai) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and then went to a woman of the tribe of Qais who cleaned my head from lice. Later I assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I used to give the verdict of doing the same till the caliphate of ʿUmar who said, "If you follow the Holy Book then it orders you to remain in the state of Ihram till you finish from Hajj, if you follow the Prophet ﷺ then he did not finish his Ihram till the Hadi (sacrifice) had reached its place of slaughtering (Hajj-al-Qiran).  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ فَقَالَ أَحَجَجْتَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِمَا أَهْلَلْتَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِإِهْلاَلٍ كَإِهْلاَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ طُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَحِلَّ فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَيْسٍ فَفَلَتْ رَأْسِي ثُمَّ أَهْلَلْتُ بِالْحَجِّ فَكُنْتُ أُفْتِي بِهِ حَتَّى كَانَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَخَذْنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالتَّمَامِ وَإِنْ أَخَذْنَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was at Al-Bat'hah and he asked, "How did you perform the Ihram?" I said, "By performing Ihram similar to the Ihram of the Prophet, ﷺ ." He asked, "Have you been given any water as a gift?" I answered, "No." He said, "Perform Tawaf around the Kaaba, then go between Safa and Marwa, and then remove the Ihram."  

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ بِإِهْلَالٍ كَإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ سُقْتَ مِنْ هَدْيٍ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ طُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ حِلَّ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari saying: "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Mina and he asked me, 'With what have you come to perform the ritual of Ihram?' I said, 'Labbaik (at your service), I have come to perform the ritual of Ihram as the Prophet ﷺ did.' He said, 'You have done well.' Then he ordered me to perform the Tawaf around the Ka'bah and to visit Safa and Marwa, and I did so, and it is mentioned in Sahih (authentic) narration."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ ؓ يَقُولُ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ لِي بِمَا أَهْلَلْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِإِهْلَالٍ كَإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ فَأَمَرَنِي فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ
