I was a man who used to give (riding-beasts) on hire for this purpose (for travelling during the pilgrimage) and the people would tell (me): Your hajj is not valid. So I met Ibn Umar and told him: AbuAbdurRahman, I am a man who gives (riding-beast) on hire for this purpose (i.e. for hajj), and the people tell me: Your hajj is not valid. Ibn Umar replied: Do you not put on ihram (the pilgrim dress), call the talbiyah (labbayk), circumambulate the Ka'bah, return from Arafat and lapidate jamrahs? I said: Why not? Then he said: Your hajj is valid. a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him the same question you have asked me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silence and did not answer him till this verse came down: "It is no sin for you that you seek the bounty of your Lord." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for him and recited this verse to him and said: Your hajj is valid. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1733)
أَلَسْتَ تُحْرِمُ وَتُلَبِّي وَتَطُوفُ وَتُفِيضُ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ وَتَرْمِي الْجِمَارَ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ حَجًّا رَجُلٌ أَتَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ مِثْلِ مَا سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ فَسَكَتَّ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ} [البقرة 198] فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «لَكَ حَجٌّ»
