أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي بِالْعُمْرَةِ وَالْحَجِّ جَمِيعًا فَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَبَّى بِالْحَجِّ وَحْدَهُ . فَلَقِيتُ أَنَسًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ مَا تَعُدُّونَا إِلاَّ صِبْيَانًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لَبَّيْكَ عُمْرَةً وَحَجًّا مَعًا " .
Bakr bin 'Abdullah Al-Muzani Narrated from:
Anas said: 'I heard the Prophet reciting the Talbiyah for 'Umrah and Hajj together. I told Ibn 'Umar about that and he said: "He recited the Talbiyah for Hajj only. I met Anas and told him what Ibn 'Umar had said, and Anas said: "do you think of us as no more than children? I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Labbaika 'Umratan wa Hajjan ma'an (Here I am (O allah) for 'Umrah and Hajj together) (sahih)

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2731
This Hadith shows a discussion between Anas, Bakr bin Abdullah Al-Muzani, and Ibn Umar about the Prophet’s Talbiyah. Anas said he heard the Prophet reciting the Talbiyah for Umrah and Hajj together. Bakr told Ibn Umar, but Ibn Umar said the Prophet recited Talbiyah for Hajj only. When Bakr returned to Anas and told him this, Anas firmly repeated what he had heard: “Labbaika Umratan wa Hajjan ma'an.” The main point is not an argument for its own sake. It is Anas holding to what he personally heard from the Messenger of Allah. This Hadith is key for searches about Anas, Talbiyah, and Hajj with Umrah together.
What we learn from this hadith
- Anas clearly reports the wording he heard from the Prophet.
- The narration records a difference in what was reported by Companions.
- Anas repeated his testimony when questioned.
- The Talbiyah wording joins Umrah and Hajj together.
