أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ فَسَمِعَ عَلِيًّا، يُلَبِّي بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجَّةٍ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ تُنْهَى عَنْ هَذَا قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا فَلَمْ أَدَعْ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِقَوْلِكَ .
Marwan bin Al-Hakam Narrated from:
I was sitting with 'Uthan and he heard 'Ali reciting the Talbiyah for "Umrah and Hajj (together). He said 'Were you not forbidden to do this?' He said: 'Yes, but I heard the Messenger of "Allah reciting the Talbiyah for them together, and I will not ignore what the Messenger of Allah said in favor of what you say.''
