أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ حُسَيْنٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، نَهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ، وَأَنْ يَجْمَعَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَبَّيْكَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ مَعًا . فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَتَفْعَلُهَا وَأَنَا أَنْهَى عَنْهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَمْ أَكُنْ لأَدَعَ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ .
Al-Hakam Narrated from:
I heard 'Ali binHusain narrating from Marwan, that 'Uthman forbade Mut'ah and joining Hajj and "Umrah. 'Ali said; 'Labbaika bi Hajjatin wa 'Umratin ma'an Here I am, (O Allah) for Hajj and "Umrah together. 'Uthman said: 'Are you doing this when I have forbidden it?' 'Ali said; 'I will not give up the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah for any of the people.'''

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2723
This Hadith gives a strong statement about following the Sunnah in Hajj and Umrah. Uthman forbade Mut'ah and joining Hajj and Umrah. Ali then pronounced the Talbiyah: Labbaika bi Hajjatin wa Umratin ma'an, meaning he entered for Hajj and Umrah together. When Uthman questioned him, Ali replied that he would not give up the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah for any person. The report is often connected with the topic of Tamattu and Qiran Hajj, because it clearly mentions joining Hajj and Umrah. The explanation should stay close to the text: Ali’s point was not personal argument, but loyalty to what he described as the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith shows Ali openly connecting his action to the Prophet’s Sunnah.
- Joining Hajj and Umrah is directly mentioned in the narration.
- Religious practice should be tied to the Sunnah, not personal pressure.
- Clear words may be needed when defending a known prophetic practice.
