That `Abdullah and Salim said to `Abdullah bin `Umar, "(You should not go for Hajj this year)."
`Abdullah bin `Umar replied, "We set out with the Prophet (to Mecca for performing `Umra) and the
infidels of Quraish prevented us from reaching the Ka`ba. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slaughtered his Budn
(camels for sacrifice) and got his head shaved."

When `Abdullah bin `Umar set out for Mecca with the intentions performing `Umra in the period of
afflictions, he said, "If I should be prevented from reaching the Ka`ba, then I would do the same as we
did while in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." So, he assumed the Ihram for `Umra since the Prophet (ﷺ)
had assumed the Ihram for `Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. Then `Abdullah bin `Umar thought
about it and said, "The conditions for both Hajj and `Umra are similar." He then turned towards his
companions and said, "The conditions of both Hajj and `Umra are similar and I make you witnesses
that I have made the performance of Hajj obligatory for myself along with `Umra." He then performed
one Tawaf (between As-Safa and Al-Marwa) for both of them (i.e. Hajj and (`Umra) and considered
that to be sufficient for him and offered a Hadi.
