Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2736
This Hadith is narrated from Ibn Abbas, who says he heard Umar speaking about Mut'ah, meaning Umrah with Hajj in this report. Umar said that he forbade them from it, while also saying that it is in the Book of Allah and that the Messenger of Allah did it. The wording is striking because it records both Umar’s prohibition and his acknowledgement of its basis. The Hadith is closely linked to searches about Tamattu in the Qur'an, the Prophet did Tamattu, and Umrah with Hajj. The explanation should stay inside the narration: Umar is reported as saying it is in the Book of Allah and that the Prophet performed it.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Abbas reports Umar’s statement about Tamattu.
- Umar says it is in the Book of Allah.
- Umar says the Messenger of Allah did it.
- The report identifies the meaning here as Umrah with Hajj.
