The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to change our intentions of the Ihram for ʿUmra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the ʿUmra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?" Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he delivered a sermon and said, "I have been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this permission for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is forever." In the meantime ʿAli bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet ﷺ has intended. (According to another man, ʿAli was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Messenger of Allah ﷺ's). The Prophet ﷺ told him to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him.  

قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحَجَّةِ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ لاَ يَخْلِطُهُمْ شَىْءٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا عُمْرَةً وَأَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَفَشَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَالَةُ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ فَيَرُوحُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُهُ يَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ بِكَفِّهِ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللَّهِ لأَنَا أَبَرُّ وَأَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْهُمْ وَلَوْ أَنِّي اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْىَ لأَحْلَلْتُ فَقَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هِيَ لَنَا أَوْ لِلأَبَدِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَلْ لِلأَبَدِ قَالَ وَجَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ لَبَّيْكَ بِحَجَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَى إِحْرَامِهِ وَأَشْرَكَهُ فِي الْهَدْىِ  

The Prophet ﷺ and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet ﷺ and Talha had the Hadi with them. ʿAli had come from Yemen and he had the Hadi with him. He (ʿAli) said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of Messenger of Allah ﷺ has assumed it." The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to intend the Ihram with which they had come for ʿUmra, to perform the Tawaf of the Kaʿba (and between Safa and Marwa), to get their hair cut short and then to finish their Ihram with the exception of those who had the Hadi with them. They asked, "Shall we go to Mina and the private organs of some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihram and have sexual relations with our wives)?" The Prophet heard that and said, "Had I known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi. If I did not have the Hadi with me I would have finished my Ihram." ʿAisha got her menses and performed all the ceremonies (of Hajj) except the Tawaf . So when she became clean from her menses, and she had performed the Tawaf of the Kaʿba, she said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You (people) are returning with both Hajj and ʿUmra and I am returning only with Hajj!" So, he ordered ʿAbdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr to go with her to at-Tanʿim. Thus she performed ʿUmra after the Hajj in the month of Dhi-l-Hijja. Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'sham met the Prophet ﷺ at Al-ʿAqaba (Jamrat-ul 'Aqaba) while the latter was stoning it and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this permissible only for you?" The Prophet replied, "No, it is for ever (i.e. it is permissible for all Muslims to perform ʿUmra before Hajj."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَهَلَّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِالْحَجِّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ هَدْىٌ غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَطَلْحَةَ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدِمَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَمَعَهُ الْهَدْىُ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَذِنَ لأَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً يَطُوفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرُوا وَيَحِلُّوا إِلاَّ مَنْ مَعَهُ الْهَدْىُ فَقَالُوا نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْىَ لأَحْلَلْتُ وَأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَاضَتْ فَنَسَكَتِ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ وَطَافَتْ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجَّةٍ وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَاعْتَمَرَتْ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ فِي ذِي الْحَجَّةِ وَأَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ لَقِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ يَرْمِيهَا فَقَالَ أَلَكُمْ هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ بَلْ لِلأَبَدِ  

I heard Jabir bin ʿAbdullah in a gathering saying, "We, the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without ʿUmra." Jabir added, "The Prophet ﷺ arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, "Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation)." Jabir added, "The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, "When there remains only five days between us and the Day of ʿArafat he orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to ʿArafat with our male organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet ﷺ and obeyed him." (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)  

أَهْلَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَيْسَ مَعَهُ عُمْرَةٌ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَحِلَّ وَقَالَ أَحِلُّوا وَأَصِيبُوا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَلَمْ يَعْزِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَكِنْ أَحَلَّهُنَّ لَهُمْ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّا نَقُولُ لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلاَّ خَمْسٌ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَنَأْتِي عَرَفَةَ تَقْطُرُ مَذَاكِيرُنَا الْمَذْىَ قَالَ وَيَقُولُ جَابِرٌ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَحَرَّكَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي أَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَلَوْلاَ هَدْيِي لَحَلَلْتُ كَمَا تَحِلُّونَ فَحِلُّوا فَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ فَحَلَلْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا  

We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we assumed the state of Ihram of Hajj and arrived at Mecca on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet ﷺ ordered us to perform the Tawaf around the Kaʿba and (Saʿi) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and use our lhram just for ʿUmra, and finish the state of Ihram unless we had our Hadi with us. None of us had the Hadi with him except the Prophet ﷺ and Talha. ʿAli came from Yemen and brought the Hadi with him. ʿAli said, 'I had assumed the state of Ihram with the same intention as that with which Messenger of Allah ﷺ had assumed it. The people said, "How can we proceed to Mina and our male organs are dribbling?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know latterly, I would not have brought the Hadi, and had there been no Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram." Suraqa (bin Malik) met the Prophet ﷺ while he was throwing pebbles at the Jamrat-Al-ʿAqaba, and asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this (permitted) for us only?" The Prophet ﷺ replied. "No, it is forever" ʿAisha had arrived at Mecca while she was menstruating, therefore the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to perform all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawaf around the Kaʿba, and not to perform her prayers unless and until she became clean . When they encamped at Al-Batha, ʿAisha said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You are proceeding after performing both Hajj and ʿUmra while I am proceeding with Hajj only?" So the Prophet ﷺ ordered ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to go with her to at-Tanʿim, and so she performed the ʿUmra in Dhul-Hijja after the days of the Hajj.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَبَّيْنَا بِالْحَجِّ وَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لأَرْبَعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَأَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً وَلْنَحِلَّ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ هَدْىٌ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنَّا هَدْىٌ غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَطَلْحَةَ وَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ مَعَهُ الْهَدْىُ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْىَ لَحَلَلْتُ قَالَ وَلَقِيَهُ سُرَاقَةُ وَهْوَ يَرْمِي جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَنَا هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً قَالَ لاَ بَلْ لأَبَدٍ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَدِمَتْ مَكَّةَ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ فَأَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تَنْسُكَ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لاَ تَطُوفُ وَلاَ تُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا الْبَطْحَاءَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِحَجَّةٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ أَنْ يَنْطَلِقَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَاعْتَمَرَتْ عُمْرَةً فِي ذِي الْحَجَّةِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الْحَجِّ  

I, along with some people, heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying: We the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ put on Ihram for Hajj only. Ata' further said that Jabir stated: Allah's Apostle ﷺ came on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja and he commanded us to put off Ihram. 'Ata'said that he (Allah's Apostle) commanded them to put off Ihram and to go to their wives (for intercourse). 'Ata' said: It was not obligatory for them, but (intercourse) with them had become permissible. We said: When only five days had been left to reach 'Arafa, he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us to have intercourse with our wives. And we reached 'Arafa in a state as if we had just had intercourse (with them). He ('Ata') said: Jabir pointed with his hand and I (perceive) as if I am seeing his hand as it moved. In the (meantime) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood amongst us and said: You are well aware that I am the most God-fearing, most truthful and most pious amongst you. And if there were not sacrificial animals with me, I would also have put off Ihram as you have put off. And if I were to know this matter of mine what I have come to know later on, I would not have brought sacrificial animals with me. So they (the Companions) put off Ihram and we also put it off and listened to (the Holy Prophet) and obeyed (his command). Jabir said: 'Ali came with the revenue of the taxes (from Yemen). He (the Holy Prophet) said: For what (purpose) have you entered into the state of Ihram (whether you entered into the state purely for Hajj and, Umra jointly or Hajj and Umra separately)? He said: For the purpose for which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entered. (The Prophet had entered as a Qiran, i.e. Ihram covering both Umra and Hajj simultaneously.) Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Offer a sacrifice of animal, and retain Ihram. And 'Ali brought a sacrificial animal for him (for the Holy Prophet). Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'shum said: Messenger of Allah, is it (this concession putting off Ihram of Hajj or Umra) meant for this year or is it forever? He said: It is forever.

“We began our Talbiyah for Hajj only with Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, and we did not mix it with ‘Umrah. We arrived in Makkah when four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, and when we had performed Tawaf around the Ka’bah and Sa’y between Safa and Marwah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to make it ‘Umrah, and to come out of Ihram and have relations with our wives. We said: ‘There are only five (days) until ‘Arafah. Will we g out to it with our male organs dripping with semen?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I am the most righteous and truthful among you, and were it not for the sacrificial animal, I would have exited Ihram.’ Suraqah bin Malik said: ‘Is this Tamattu’ for this year only or forever?’ He said: ‘No, it is forever and ever.’”  

أَهْلَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لاَ نَخْلِطُهُ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَمَّا طُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَيْنَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً وَأَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقُلْنَا مَا بَيْنَنَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلاَّ خَمْسٌ فَنَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهَا وَمَذَاكِيرُنَا تَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَبَرُّكُمْ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَلَوْلاَ الْهَدْىُ لأَحْلَلْتُ فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَمُتْعَتُنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لأَبَدٍ فَقَالَ لاَ بَلْ لأَبَدِ الأَبَدِ  

"We, the Companions of the Prophet, entered Ihram for Hajj only, and nothing else. We came to Makkah on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hajjah, and the Prophet commanded us: "Exit Ihram and make it Umrah. He heard that we were saying: 'when there are only five days between us and 'Arafat he commands us to exit Ihram and we will go out to Mina with our male members dripping with semen (because of recent intimacy with our wives)?' the Prophet stood up and addressed us, saying: 'I have heard what you said. I am the most righteous and the most pious of you, and were it not for the Hadi I would have exited Ihram. If I had known what I know now, I would not have from Yemen and he said: 'for what did you enter Ihram?' He said: 'For that for which the Messenger of Allah entered Ihram.' Suraq bin Malik bin Jushum said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you think that this Umrah of ours is for this year only or for all time?' He said: 'It is for all time."

جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَهْلَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَيْسَ مَعَهُ غَيْرُهُ خَالِصًا وَحْدَهُ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِلُّوا وَاجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً فَبَلَغَهُ إِنَّا نَقُولُ لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلَّا خَمْسٌ أَمَرَنَا أَنْنَحِلَّ فَنَرُوحَ إِلَى مِنًى وَمَذَاكِيرُنَا تَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا فَخَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي الَّذِي قُلْتُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَتْقَاكُمْ وَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَلَوْلَا الْهَدْيُ لَحَلَلْتُ وَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ حِلُّوا وَاجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً قَالَ وَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ قَالَ بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَهْدِهِ وَامْكُثْ حَرَامًا كَمَا أَنْتَ  

The Prophet ﷺ and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet ﷺ and Talha had the Hadi with them. ʿAli had come from Yemen and he had the Hadi with him. He (ʿAli) said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of Messenger of Allah ﷺ has assumed it." The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to intend the Ihram with which they had come for ʿUmra, to perform the Tawaf of the Kaʿba (and between Safa and Marwa), to get their hair cut short and then to finish their Ihram with the exception of those who had the Hadi with them. They asked, "Shall we go to Mina and the private organs of some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihram and have sexual relations with our wives)?" The Prophet heard that and said, "Had I known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi. If I did not have the Hadi with me I would have finished my Ihram." ʿAisha got her menses and performed all the ceremonies (of Hajj) except the Tawaf . So when she became clean from her menses, and she had performed the Tawaf of the Kaʿba, she said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You (people) are returning with both Hajj and ʿUmra and I am returning only with Hajj!" So, he ordered ʿAbdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr to go with her to at-Tanʿim. Thus she performed ʿUmra after the Hajj in the month of Dhi-l-Hijja. Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'sham met the Prophet ﷺ at Al-ʿAqaba (Jamrat-ul 'Aqaba) while the latter was stoning it and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this permissible only for you?" The Prophet replied, "No, it is for ever (i.e. it is permissible for all Muslims to perform ʿUmra before Hajj." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1785)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَهَلَّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِالْحَجِّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ هَدْيٌ إِلَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَطَلْحَةَ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدِمَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَمَعَهُ الْهَدْيُ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً وَيَطُوفُوا ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرُوا وَيَحِلُّوا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ الْهَدْيُ فَقَالُوا نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَىمِنًى وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنِّي اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْيَ لَأَحْلَلْتُ وَأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَاضَتْ فَنَسَكَتْ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ طَافَتْ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجٍّ وَعُمْرَةٍ وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِالْحَجِّ؟ فَأَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَاعْتَمَرَتْ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَأَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ يَرْمِيهَا فَقَالَ أَلَكُمْ هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ  

“We began our Talbiyah for Hajj only with Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, and we did not mix it with ‘Umrah. We arrived in Makkah when four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, and when we had performed Tawaf around the Ka’bah and Sa’y between Safa and Marwah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to make it ‘Umrah, and to come out of Ihram and have relations with our wives. We said: ‘There are only five (days) until ‘Arafah. Will we g out to it with our male organs dripping with semen?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I am the most righteous and truthful among you, and were it not for the sacrificial animal, I would have exited Ihram.’ Suraqah bin Malik said: ‘Is this Tamattu’ for this year only or forever?’ He said: ‘No, it is forever and ever.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2980)  

أَهْلَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَا نَخْلِطُ بِغَيْرِهِ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لِأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَمَّا طُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَيْنَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عَمْرَةً وَأَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقُلْنَا بَيْنَنَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلَّا خَمْسٌ فَنَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهَا وَمَذَاكِيرُنَا تَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَلَوْلَا الْهَدْيُ لَأَحْلَلْتُ» فَقَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْتِعَتُنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ»  

[Machine] We went out with the Prophet ﷺ, hastening for Hajj. We arrived at Makkah and performed Tawaf around the Kaaba, between Safa and Marwa. Then the Prophet ﷺ addressed us, saying, "Whoever did not bring a sacrificial animal should perform Umrah instead." We asked, "What is the ruling, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "The ruling is for everyone." So we removed our garments and put on Ihram, and we perfumed ourselves with perfume. Some people said, "What is this? We are going to 'Arafat and our garments are dripping with semen!" This was then reported to the Prophet ﷺ, who stood among us in a state of anger and said, "I swear by Allah, you all knew that I was the most pious among you. If I had known that you were saying this, I would not have offered the sacrificial animal. So forgive what you have been ordered." Surahqa ibn Malik ibn Ju'shum stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this Umrah of ours a one-time thing or is it for every year?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, it is for every year."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَطُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِينَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ سَاقَ هَدْيًا فَلْيَحْلِلْ وَلْيَجْعَلْهَا عَمْرَةً» فَقُلْنَا حِلٌّ مِنْ ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْحِلُّ كُلُّهُ» فَوَاقَعْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَلَبِسْنَا وَتَطَيَّبْنَا بِالطِّيبِ فَقَالَ أُنَاسٌ مَا هَذَا الْأَمْرُ نَأْتِي عَرَفَةَ وَأُيُورُنَا تَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا؟ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَامَ فِينَا كَالْمُغْضَبِ فَقَالَ «وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي أَتْقَاكُمْ وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ هَذَا مَا سُقْتُ الْهَدْيَ فَاسْمَحُوا بِمَا تُؤْمَرُونَ بِهِ» فَقَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عُمْرَتُنَا هَذِهِ الَّتِي أَمَرْتَنَا بِهَا أَلِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ»  

"We, the Companions of the Prophet, entered Ihram for Hajj only, and nothing else. We came to Makkah on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hajjah, and the Prophet commanded us: "Exit Ihram and make it Umrah. He heard that we were saying: 'when there are only five days between us and 'Arafat he commands us to exit Ihram and we will go out to Mina with our male members dripping with semen (because of recent intimacy with our wives)?' the Prophet stood up and addressed us, saying: 'I have heard what you said. I am the most righteous and the most pious of you, and were it not for the Hadi I would have exited Ihram. If I had known what I know now, I would not have from Yemen and he said: 'for what did you enter Ihram?' He said: 'For that for which the Messenger of Allah entered Ihram.' Suraq bin Malik bin Jushum said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you think that this Umrah of ours is for this year only or for all time?' He said: 'It is for all time." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2805)  

أَهْلَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَيْسَ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ غَيْرُهُ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَحِلَّ قَالَ «أَحِلُّوا وَاجْعَلُوهَا عَمْرَةً» فَبَلَغَهُ عَنَّا أَنَا نَقُولُ لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلَّا خَمْسًا أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ نَرُوحُ إِلَى مِنًى وَمَذَاكِيرُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنَ الْمَنِيِّ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «قَدْ بَلَغَنِي الَّذِي قُلْتُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ وَلَوْلَا الْهَدْيُ لَحَلَلْتُ وَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ» قَالَ وَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ «بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟ قَالَ بِمَا أَهَلَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ » فَاهْدِ وَامْكُثْ حَرَامًا كَمَا أَنْتَ « قَالَ وَقَالَ لَهُ سُرَاقَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عُمْرَتُنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ قَالَ فَقَالَ » بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ «  

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as pilgrims, desiring only the Hajj and intending nothing else. But when it reached the days of Sarif, Aisha menstruated and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her while she was crying. He asked, "What makes you cry?" She said, "I have been afflicted with menstrual bleeding." He said, "You are from the daughters of Adam, and this is what afflicts them." We arrived in Mecca for four nights, free from the days of Hajj, so we performed Tawaf around the Ka'bah and Sa'i between Safa and Marwa, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to do. We were conversing among ourselves, saying, "We have gone out as pilgrims, desiring only the Hajj and intending nothing else, until there is only four nights between us and Arafat." Our impurities were dripping from the women, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about that. He stood up to deliver a sermon, saying, "Indeed, Umrah is included in Hajj. If I had not brought the sacrificial animal, I would have dismounted. So whoever does not have a sacrificial animal with him should deconsecrate his Ihram." Surqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum Al-Mudlaji said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about a people who were born today. Is this Umrah of ours for this year only or forever?" He said, "Forever." So we came to Arafat, and when it was time to leave, Aisha said, "O Messenger of Allah, you all performed Tawaf around the Ka'bah and Sa'i between Safa and Marwa, but I did not perform Sa'i." He said, "You will have the same ruling as the people." She asked, "What do you think about me?" He halted in the highest part of Makkah's valley and 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr assisted her until she reached Tan'im.  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُجَّاجًا مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْحَجَّ وَلَا نَنْوِي غَيْرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِسَرِفٍ حَاضَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ «مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟» قَالَتْ أَصَابَنِي الْأَذَى قَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ آدَمَ يُصِيبُكِ مَا يُصِيبُهُنَّ» قَالَ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لِأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَطُفْنَا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ كَمَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا بَيْنَنَا فَقُلْنَا خَرَجْنَا حُجَّاجًا وَلَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْحَجَّ وَلَا نَنْوِي غَيْرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَاتٍ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُ لَيَالٍ وَمَذَاكِيرُنَا تَقْطُرُ الْمَنِيَّ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ فِي الْحَجِّ وَلَوْ أَنِّي اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا سُقْتُ الْهَدْيَ وَلَوْلَا الْهَدْيُ لَأَحْلَلْتُ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ فَلْيَحْلِلْ» فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْمُدْلِجِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثَ قَوْمٍ كَأَنَّمَا وُلِدُوا الْيَوْمَ عُمْرَتُنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا؟ أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ «لِلْأَبَدِ» فَأَتَيْنَا عَرَفَةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الِانْصِرَافِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ طُفْتُمْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ طُفْتُ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ لَكِ مِثْلَ مَا لِلْقَوْمِ» قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي؟ قَالَ فَوَقَفَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَعْلَى وَادِي مَكَّةَ وَأَرْدَفَهَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى أَتَتِ التَّنْعِيمَ  

The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to change our intentions of the Ihram for ʿUmra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the ʿUmra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?" Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he delivered a sermon and said, "I have been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this permission for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is forever." In the meantime ʿAli bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet ﷺ has intended. (According to another man, ʿAli was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Messenger of Allah ﷺ's). The Prophet ﷺ told him to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2505)  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مُهِلُّونَ بِالْحَجِّ لَمْ يُخَالِطْهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا عُمْرَةً وَأَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَقِيلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَالَةُ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَيَرُوحُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُهُ يَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا؟ وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَبَرُّ وَأَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْهُمْ وَلَوْ أَنِّي اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِيَ الْهَدْيَ لَأَحْلَلْتُ» فَقَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهِيَ لَنَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ» وَجَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ لَبَّيْكَ بِحَجَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَى إِحْرَامِهِ وَأَشْرَكَهُ فِي الْهَدْيِ  

[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."

"We, the Companions of the Prophet, entered Ihram for Hajj only, and nothing else. We came to Makkah on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hajjah, and the Prophet commanded us: "Exit Ihram and make it Umrah.

We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we assumed the state of Ihram of Hajj and arrived at Mecca on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet ﷺ ordered us to perform the Tawaf around the Kaʿba and (Saʿi) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and use our lhram just for ʿUmra, and finish the state of Ihram unless we had our Hadi with us. None of us had the Hadi with him except the Prophet ﷺ and Talha. ʿAli came from Yemen and brought the Hadi with him. ʿAli said, 'I had assumed the state of Ihram with the same intention as that with which Messenger of Allah ﷺ had assumed it. The people said, "How can we proceed to Mina and our male organs are dribbling?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know latterly, I would not have brought the Hadi, and had there been no Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram." Suraqa (bin Malik) met the Prophet ﷺ while he was throwing pebbles at the Jamrat-Al-ʿAqaba, and asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this (permitted) for us only?" The Prophet ﷺ replied. "No, it is forever" ʿAisha had arrived at Mecca while she was menstruating, therefore the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to perform all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawaf around the Kaʿba, and not to perform her prayers unless and until she became clean . When they encamped at Al-Batha, ʿAisha said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You are proceeding after performing both Hajj and ʿUmra while I am proceeding with Hajj only?" So the Prophet ﷺ ordered ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to go with her to at-Tanʿim, and so she performed the ʿUmra in Dhul-Hijja after the days of the Hajj.

مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَبَّيْنَا بِالْحَجِّ وَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لِأَرْبَعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَنَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً وَنَحِلَّ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ الْهَدْيُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنَّا الْهَدْيُ غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَطَلْحَةَ وَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَمَعَهُ هَدْيٌ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِيَ الْهَدْيَ لَأَحْلَلْتُ قَالَ وَلَقِيَهُ سُرَاقَةُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَنَا هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ قَدِمَتْ مَكَّةَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تَنْسِكَ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَا تُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا الْبَطْحَاءَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِحَجَّةٍ؟ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ابْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَنْطَلِقَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَاعْتَمَرَتْ عُمْرَةً فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الْحَجِّ  

The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to change our intentions of the Ihram for ʿUmra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the ʿUmra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?" Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he delivered a sermon and said, "I have been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this permission for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is forever." In the meantime ʿAli bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet ﷺ has intended. (According to another man, ʿAli was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Messenger of Allah ﷺ's). The Prophet ﷺ told him to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2505)   

قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَبِيحَةَ رَابِعَةٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ لَا يُخَالِطُهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا عُمْرَةً بِأَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَفَشَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَقَالَةُ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَيَرُوحُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُهُ يَقْطُرُ مَنِيًّا قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَتْقَى مِنْهُمْ وَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِيَ الْهَدْيَ لَأَحْلَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هِيَ لَنَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ قَالَ وَجَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ لَبَّيْكَ بِحِجَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَى إِحْرَامِهِ وَأَشْرَكَهُ فِي الْهَدْيِ  

I, along with some people, heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying: We the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ put on Ihram for Hajj only. Ata' further said that Jabir stated: Allah's Apostle ﷺ came on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja and he commanded us to put off Ihram. 'Ata'said that he (Allah's Apostle) commanded them to put off Ihram and to go to their wives (for intercourse). 'Ata' said: It was not obligatory for them, but (intercourse) with them had become permissible. We said: When only five days had been left to reach 'Arafa, he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us to have intercourse with our wives. And we reached 'Arafa in a state as if we had just had intercourse (with them). He ('Ata') said: Jabir pointed with his hand and I (perceive) as if I am seeing his hand as it moved. In the (meantime) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood amongst us and said: You are well aware that I am the most God-fearing, most truthful and most pious amongst you. And if there were not sacrificial animals with me, I would also have put off Ihram as you have put off. And if I were to know this matter of mine what I have come to know later on, I would not have brought sacrificial animals with me. So they (the Companions) put off Ihram and we also put it off and listened to (the Holy Prophet) and obeyed (his command). Jabir said: 'Ali came with the revenue of the taxes (from Yemen). He (the Holy Prophet) said: For what (purpose) have you entered into the state of Ihram (whether you entered into the state purely for Hajj and, Umra jointly or Hajj and Umra separately)? He said: For the purpose for which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entered. (The Prophet had entered as a Qiran, i.e. Ihram covering both Umra and Hajj simultaneously.) Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Offer a sacrifice of animal, and retain Ihram. And 'Ali brought a sacrificial animal for him (for the Holy Prophet). Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'shum said: Messenger of Allah, is it (this concession putting off Ihram of Hajj or Umra) meant for this year or is it forever? He said: It is forever. (Using translation from Muslim 1216a)
