وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ الْقُرِّيُّ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - يَقُولُ أَهَلَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِعُمْرَةٍ وَأَهَلَّ أَصْحَابُهُ بِحَجٍّ فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلاَ مَنْ سَاقَ الْهَدْىَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَحَلَّ بَقِيَّتُهُمْ فَكَانَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ فِيمَنْ سَاقَ الْهَدْىَ فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ .
lbn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) entered into the state of Ihram for Umra and his Companions for Hajj. Neither Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) nor those among his Companions who had brought sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram, whereas the rest (of the pilgrims) did so. Talha b. Ubaidullah was one of those who had brought the sacrificial animals along with them so he did not put off Ihram.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1239a
This Hadith about Ihram and sacrificial animals shows a clear difference between two groups during Hajj and Umra. Ibn Abbas reports that Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وسلم) entered Ihram for Umra, while his Companions entered Ihram for Hajj. The key point is that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the Companions who had brought sacrificial animals did not put off Ihram. The rest of the pilgrims did put off Ihram. Talha b. Ubaidullah is named as one of those who brought the sacrificial animals, so he stayed in Ihram. The Hadith teaches careful attention to the condition of the pilgrim, especially whether the sacrificial animal was brought or not.
What we learn from this hadith
- A pilgrim's ruling in Ihram may differ based on whether he brought a sacrificial animal.
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and those with sacrificial animals remained in Ihram in this report.
- Those who did not have sacrificial animals were treated differently in the same journey.
- Names of Companions in Hadith help preserve the exact event.
