Ibn `Umar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I
will do what the Prophet (ﷺ) did when the Quraish infidels intervened between him and (the Ka`ba). Then
Ibn `Umar recited: "You have indeed in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) A good example to follow." (33.21)

← Previous Hadith
`Abdullah bin `Umar set out for Umra during the period of afflictions, and he said, "If I should be
stopped from visiting the Ka`ba, I will do what we did when we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He
assumed Ihram for `Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.

One of `Abdullah's sons said to `Abdullah (bin `Umar) "I wish you would stay this year (and not
perform Hajj) as I am afraid that you will not be able to reach the Ka`ba." On that he (i.e. `Abdullah
bin `Umar) said, "We went out with the Prophet (for `Umra), and when the Quraish infidel intervened
between us and the Ka`ba, the Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered his Hadi and shaved (his head), and his
companions cut short their hair." Then `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I make you witness that I have
intended to perform `Umra and if I am allowed to reach the Ka`ba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if
something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I will do what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
did." Then after going for a while, he said, "I consider the ceremonies (of both `Umra and Hajj as one
and the same, so I would like you to witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with my
`Umra." So he performed only one Tawaf and one Sai (between Safa and Marwa) and finished the
Ihram of both Umra and Hajj).
