Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that Sulayman ibn Yasar told him that Abu Ayyub al-Ansari once set off to do hajj and then, when he reached an-Naziya, on the road to Makka, his riding beasts strayed. He reached Umar ibn al-Khattab on the day of sacrifice and told him what had happened and Umar said, "Do what someone doing umra would do, and then you can leave ihram, and then when the hajj next comes upon you, do it and sacrifice whatever animal is easy for you ."

أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالنَّازِيَةِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ أَضَلَّ رَوَاحِلَهُ وَإِنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ اصْنَعْ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ الْمُعْتَمِرُ ثُمَّ قَدْ حَلَلْتَ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَكَ الْحَجُّ قَابِلاً فَاحْجُجْ وَأَهْدِ مَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْىِ

[Machine] Abu al-Abbas narrated from al-Rabi from al-Shafii from Malik that 'Umar bin al-Khattab asked Abu Ayyub al-Ansari about his journey for Hajj. He said, "I traveled until I reached the wilderness on the way to Makkah and lost my way. Then I arrived at 'Umar bin al-Khattab on the day of sacrifice and told him about it. 'Umar said to him, 'Do as the Mu'tamir (one who is performing 'Umrah) does. Then, when the Hajj season approaches you, join the Hajj and offer whatever sacrificial animal is easy for you.'"
