وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَيَّاشٍ الْعَامِرِيِّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كَانَتْ لَنَا رُخْصَةً . يَعْنِي الْمُتْعَةَ فِي الْحَجِّ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1224b
This Hadith about Tamattu as a special concession gives another short wording from Abu Dharr. He says that it was a concession for us, meaning Tamattu in Hajj. The wording is even shorter than the previous report, but it carries the same core idea: Abu Dharr viewed that form of Tamattu as a special permission for his group. The narration does not mention the full details of the Farewell Hajj, nor does it give all sides of the discussion. So the explanation should stay focused on the statement itself. It is useful for searches about Tamattu in Hajj, concession, and Abu Dharr’s view.
What we learn from this hadith
- Abu Dharr called Tamattu in Hajj a concession.
- The phrase for us shows he viewed it as specific to his group.
- The Hadith preserves a short Companion statement on Hajj practice.
- The text should not be stretched beyond its brief wording.
