أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَالضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، - عَامَ حَجَّ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ - وَهُمَا يَذْكُرَانِ التَّمَتُّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ لاَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ مَنْ جَهِلَ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى . فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ بِئْسَمَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي . قَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ سَعْدٌ قَدْ صَنَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَصَنَعْنَاهَا مَعَهُ .
Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Nawfal bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib Narrated from:
During the year that Mu'awiyah bin abi sufyan performed Hajj, he heard Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and Ad-Dahhak bin Qais talking about joining 'Umrah to Hajj (Tamattu) Ad-Dahhak said: "none does that but one who is ignorant of the ruling of Allah." Sa'd said: "What a bad thing to say, O son of my brother!" Ad-Dahhak said: "Umar bin Al-Khattab forbade that." Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah did that and we did it with him."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2734
This Hadith records a discussion during the year Mu'awiyah performed Hajj. Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and Ad-Dahhak bin Qais were talking about joining Umrah to Hajj, meaning Tamattu. Ad-Dahhak said that only someone ignorant of Allah’s command would do that. Sa'd rejected the wording and said it was a bad thing to say. When Ad-Dahhak mentioned that Umar had forbidden it, Sa'd answered that the Messenger of Allah did it and that they did it with him. The Hadith is a clear example of correcting harsh speech about a Hajj practice by pointing back to what the Prophet and his companions did.
What we learn from this hadith
- Sa'd rejected a harsh statement about people who perform Tamattu.
- Sa'd said the Messenger of Allah performed it.
- Sa'd also said they performed it with the Prophet.
- The report teaches care when speaking about Hajj practices.
