Home Hadith Hadith 1509
I saw `Uthman and `Ali. `Uthman used to forbid people to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and Hajj-al-
Qiran (Hajj and `Umra together), and when `Ali saw (this act of `Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj
and `Umra together saying, "Lubbaik for `Umra and Hajj," and said, "I will not leave the tradition of
the Prophet (ﷺ) on the saying of somebody."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 49
← Previous Hadith
We set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s (to Mecca) in the year of the Prophet's Last Hajj. Some of us had
assumed Ihram for `Umra only, some for both Hajj and `Umra, and others for Hajj only. Allah's
Apostle assumed Ihram for Hajj. So whoever had assumed Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and `Umra
did not finish the Ihram till the day of sacrifice. (See Hadith No. 631, 636, and 639).

The people (of the Pre-Islamic Period) used to think that to perform `Umra during the months of Hajj
was one of the major sins on earth. And also used to consider the month of Safar as a forbidden (i.e.
sacred) month and they used to say, "When the wounds of the camel's back heal up (after they return
from Hajj) and the signs of those wounds vanish and the month of Safar passes away then (at that
time) `Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it." In the morning of the 4th of Dhul-
Hijja, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he ordered his
companions to make their intentions of the Ihram for `Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they considered
his order as something great and were puzzled, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What kind (of finishing)
of Ihram is allowed?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Finish the Ihram completely like a non-Muhrim (you are
allowed everything)."
