حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، إِذَا طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَدْ حَلَّ. فَقُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ قَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مِنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ} وَمِنْ أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَحِلُّوا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ. قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْمُعَرَّفِ. قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَرَاهُ قَبْلُ وَبَعْدُ.
Ibn Juraij Narrated from:
`Ata' said, "Ibn `Abbas said, 'If he (i.e. the one intending to perform `Umra) has performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba, his Ihram is considered to have finished.' said, 'What proof does Ibn `Abbas has as to this saying?" `Ata' said, "(The proof is taken) from the Statement of Allah:-- "And afterwards they are brought For sacrifice unto Ancient House (Ka`ba at Mecca)" (22.33) and from the order of the Prophet to his companions to finish their Ihram during Hajjat-ul-Wada`."I said (to `Ata'), "That (i.e. finishing the Ihram) was after coming form `Arafat." `Ata' said, "Ibn `Abbas used to allow it before going to `Arafat (after finishing the `Umra) and after coming from it (i.e. after performing the Hajj).
[1] The person meant here is the one who intends to perform ' Umra along with Hajj ( At-Tamattu ').Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 4396In-book reference : Book 64, Hadith 419USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 5, Book 59, Hadith 679
Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4396
This hadith about tawaf and ihram presents the statement of Ibn Abbas as reported by Ata. Ibn Abbas said that when a person intending Umrah performs tawaf around the Ka'bah, his ihram is considered finished. When asked for proof, Ata mentioned the verse about the Ancient House and the Prophet’s order to his Companions to finish ihram during Hajjat-ul-Wada. The discussion also notes a question about whether that happened after Arafat, while Ibn Abbas viewed it before and after. The explanation should stay with the report: it is about the point at which ihram ends in this discussion, and how Ibn Abbas connected it to the Qur'an and the Prophet’s instruction.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith reports Ibn Abbas’s view on finishing ihram after tawaf.
- Ata linked the view to a Qur'anic verse and a Prophetic order.
- The narration records a discussion about timing before and after Arafat.
- Questions about evidence were asked and answered in the report.
