Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 766 — The Book of Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makka)

Abu Musa Narrated from:

I came upon Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when he was at Al-Bathâ. He asked me, "Have you intended to perform the Hajj ?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "For what have you assumed Ihrâm ?" I replied, "I have assumed Ihrâm with the same intention as that of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "You have done well! Go and perform the Tawâf round the Ka'ba and between As-Safâ and Al-Marwa."Then I went to one of the women of Banî Qais and she took out the lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihrâm for Hajj. So, I used to give this verdict to the people till the caliphate of 'Umar رضي الله عنه. When I told him about it, he said, "If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and 'Umra ( Hajj-at-Tamattu') and if we follow the Sunna (legal ways) of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, then Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did not finish his Ihrâm till the Hady had reached its destination (had been slaughtered), (i.e. Hajj-al-Qirân). ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 782, Vol. 2)
