حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجَّةٍ، فَقَالَ أَهَلَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْحَجِّ، وَأَهْلَلْنَا بِهِ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قَالَ " مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ هَدْىٌ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا عُمْرَةً ". وَكَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم هَدْىٌ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ حَاجًّا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ فَإِنَّ مَعَنَا أَهْلَكَ ". قَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ " فَأَمْسِكْ، فَإِنَّ مَعَنَا هَدْيًا ".
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him. When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet (ﷺ) had a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "With what intention have you assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us?" `Ali said, "I assumed the Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet (ﷺ)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Keep on the state of Ihram, as we have got the Hadi."

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4353
This hadith about Hadi and Ihram explains a specific Hajj moment. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the companions came to Makkah, and he said that whoever did not have a Hadi should make his Ihram for Umrah only. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had a Hadi with him. Then Ali came from Yemen intending Hajj. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked him what intention he had made, and Ali said he had assumed Ihram with the same intention as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told him to keep the state of Ihram because they had the Hadi. The message is tied to the text: the instruction differed based on whether Hadi was present.
What we learn from this hadith
- Those without Hadi were instructed to make their Ihram for Umrah only.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had Hadi with him in this narration.
- Ali’s Ihram followed the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم intention.
- The presence of Hadi shaped the instruction to remain in Ihram.
