[Machine] Omar, I am staying the night if God wills. I am warning them against those people who oppress them in their affairs," said Abdulrahman. So I said, "Oh Amir al-Mu'minin, do not do that on this day. The season gathers the masses and their chaos. I fear that you might say something that they would take and fly off with, and not put it in its proper place. Wait until you enter the city, as it is the abode of migration, Sunnah, and faith. Purify yourself with the scholars and their leaders. Say what you want to say in a way that they understand it and put it in its proper place," said Omar. "If I enter the city safely, I will speak to the people there in the first gathering I establish, if God wills," he added. According to Ibn Abbas, when I arrived at the city, I migrated to Jumaa and found Sa'id ibn Zayd had already proceeded me in migration. He sat next to the pulpit and I sat next to him. Omar did not ascend the pulpit, so I ascended it and performed the prayer of witness and praised Allah for what He deserves. Then he said, "As for what follows, I will say something to you which I do not know if it will remain with you until my death. Whoever understands it and preserves it, let him speak it wherever his journey ends. And whoever fears that he will not understand it, then it is not allowed for anyone to accuse me of lying. Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth and revealed the book to him. In what was revealed to him was the verse of stoning, so we recited it and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried it out, and we carried it out after him. I fear that if a long time passes, someone might say, ‘We do not find the stoning in the book of Allah,’ and they will go astray by abandoning an obligation that Allah has revealed. Indeed, stoning is prescribed in the book of Allah for the one who committed adultery, if he is married, be it from the males or females, when clear evidence is established or if a confession is made."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to my people's land. When it was time for Hajj, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Hajj, and I also performed Hajj. I went to him while he was descending from Al-Abtah and he asked me, "With what did you intend to perform Ihram, O Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "I intended to say Labbayk with a Hajj like the Hajj of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "You have done well." Then he asked me, "Did you bring a Hadi (sacrificial animal)?" I replied, "No." He said, "Then go and perform Tawaf around the Kaaba and go between Safa and Marwa, then release your Ihram." So, I went and did as he instructed. I approached a woman from my people, and she washed my head with sidr and released my hair. Then I entered the state of Ihram on the day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah) and continued to give fatwas to the people in accordance with what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had instructed me, until he passed away and Abu Bakr became the Caliph. During the time of Umar's caliphate, as I was standing near the Black Stone and the Maqam, giving fatwas to the people in accordance with what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had instructed me, a man came to me and interrupted me. He said, "Do not rush with your fatwas, for the Commander of the Believers has introduced changes in the rituals." So, I addressed the people and said, "Whoever we used to give fatwas based on a certain ruling, let him wait for it until the Commander of the Believers comes, and then complete the rites according to his instructions." When Umar arrived, I went to him and said, "O Commander of the Believers, have changes been made in the rituals?" He replied, "Yes, we should follow the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ . He did not release the Ihram until after sacrificing the Hadi, and we should also follow the Book of our Lord, as it commands us to complete the rites."  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الْحَجُّ حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَجَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فَقَالَ لِي بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِحَجٍّ كَحَجِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي هَلْ سُقْتَ هَدْيًا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَاسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ احْلِلْ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَفَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَوْمِي فَغَسَلَتْ رَأْسِي بِالسِّدْرِ وَفَلَّتْهُ ثُمَّ أَحْرَمْتُ بِالْحَجِّ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُفْتِي النَّاسَ بِالَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَزَمَنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَالْمَقَامِ أُفْتِي النَّاسَ بِالَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّنِي فَقَالَ لَا تَعْجَلْ بِفُتْيَاكَ فَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي الْمَنَاسِكِ يَعْنِي فَقُلْتُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كُنَّا أَفْتَيْنَاهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَلْيَتَّئِدْ فَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَادِمٌ فَبِهِ فَأْتَمُّوا قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عُمَرُ ؓ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَلْ أُحْدِثَ فِي الْمَنَاسِكِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْلِلْ حَتَّى نَحَرَ الْهَدْيَ وَأَنْ نَأْخُذَ بِكِتَابِ رَبِّنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالتَّمَامِ
