حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ انْطَلَقْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَحْرَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ، وَلَمْ أُحْرِمْ.

We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and all his companions assumed the state of Ihram but I did not.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4149
This hadith about Abu Qatada and Ihram is brief and direct. Abu Qatada says that they set out with the Prophet in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. The companions assumed the state of Ihram, but he did not. The report does not give the full reason inside this wording, so the explanation should stay within the text. Its core value is that it records a difference in state during the same journey: many companions were in Ihram while Abu Qatada was not. For readers looking for Hudaibiya Ihram hadith or Abu Qatada Ihram narration, this hadith gives the basic starting point for that event.
What we learn from this hadith
- The companions entered Ihram during the Hudaibiya journey.
- Abu Qatada states clearly that he did not enter Ihram at that time.
- The narration should not be expanded beyond what this short text says.
