وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصُّبْحَ بِذِي طَوًى وَقَدِمَ لأَرْبَعٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُحَوِّلُوا إِحْرَامَهُمْ بِعُمْرَةٍ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ الْهَدْىُ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observed the morning prayer at Dhu Tawa (a valley near Mecca) and arrived (in Mecca) when four days of Dhul-Hijja had passed and he commanded his Companions that they should change their Ihram (of Hajj) to that of Umra, except those who had brought sacrificial animals with them.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1240e
This Hadith about changing Ihram to Umra adds an important condition. Ibn Abbas reports that Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) prayed the morning prayer at Dhu Tawa and arrived when four days of Dhu'l-Hijja had passed. He then commanded his Companions to change their Ihram of Hajj to that of Umra. The exception was for those who had brought sacrificial animals with them. This makes the report useful for searches like Hajj Tamattu hadith, Ihram to Umra, and sacrificial animal in Hajj. The text keeps the focus on the Prophet's command, the time of arrival, the place of prayer, and the exception for those with hady.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) commanded the Companions to change their Ihram to Umra.
- Those who had sacrificial animals were excluded from this command.
- The report mentions the morning prayer at Dhu Tawa.
- The timing after four days of Dhu'l-Hijja is part of the narration.
