Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 98
“Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari used
to
issue rulings concerning Tamattu’. Then a man said to him:
‘Withhold some of your rulings, for you do not know what the
Commander
of the Believers has introduced into the rites after you.’
(Abu Musa
said:) ‘Then when I met him later on, I asked him.’
‘Umar said: ‘I
know that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his
Companions did it, but
I did not like that people should lie with
their wives in the shade of
the Arak trees and then go out for Hajj
with their heads dripping,’
(i.e. due to the bath after sexual
relations).”
“Imran bin Husain said to me: ‘I will tell you a Hadith, that Allah may benefit you thereby after this day. Know that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had a group from his family perform ‘Umrah during the ten (days) of Dhul-Hijjah, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not forbid that, and no abrogation of that was revealed, and it does not matter what anyone else suggests.’”
“We began our Talbiyah for Hajj only with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and we did not mix it with ‘Umrah. We arrived in Makkah when four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, and when we had performed Tawaf around the Ka’bah and Sa’y between Safa and Marwah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to make it ‘Umrah, and to come out of Ihram and have relations with our wives. We said: ‘There are only five (days) until ‘Arafah. Will we g out to it with our male organs dripping with semen?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I am the most righteous and truthful among you, and were it not for the sacrificial animal, I would have exited Ihram.’ Suraqah bin Malik said: ‘Is this Tamattu’ for this year only or forever?’ He said: ‘No, it is forever and ever.’”
