وَحَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامَ الْعَيْشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ - حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ، بْنُ الشَّهِيدِ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا بِالْحَجِّ . فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَنَسٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ مَا قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّمَا كُنَّا صِبْيَانًا .
Bakr b. 'Abdullah Narrated from:
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) had narrated to us that he saw Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) combining Hajj and 'Umra. He (Bakr) said: I asked (about it) from Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he said: We entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj (only). I came to Anas and told him what Ibn Umar had said, whereupon he remarked: (You are treating us) as if we were children.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1232b
This hadith about combining Hajj and Umrah reports that Anas, Allah be pleased with him, said he saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم combining the two: Hajj and Umrah. Bakr ibn Abdullah then asked Ibn Umar about it, and Ibn Umar said that they entered Ihram for Hajj. Bakr returned to Anas and told him what Ibn Umar had said. Anas replied with the meaning that they were being treated as if they were children. The hadith is about a reported observation from Anas and a different wording from Ibn Umar. It keeps both voices in the narration without blending them into one statement.
What we learn from this hadith
- Anas reported seeing the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم combine Hajj and Umrah.
- Ibn Umar’s answer in this report mentions entering Ihram for Hajj.
- The narration preserves the exchange between Bakr, Ibn Umar, and Anas.
