Jabir bin Abdullah said “We raised our voices in talbiyah along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ exclusively for Hajj, not combining anything with it. When we came to Makkah four days of Dhu al Hijjah had already passed. We the circumambulated (the Kaabah) and ran between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then commanded us to put off ihram. He said if I had not brought the sacrificial animals, I would have taken off Ihram. Suraqah bin Malik then stood up and said Messenger of Allah, what do you think, have you provided this facility to us for this year alone or forever? The Messenger of Allah said No, this forever and forever. Al Awza’l said I heard Ata bin Abi Rabah narrating this tradition, but I did not memorize it till I met Ibn Juraij who confirmed it for me.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
By "Mut‘at al-Hajj" is meant Hajj al-Tamattu‘ and Hajj al-Qiran, because ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu used to encourage Ifrad Hajj, and the discussion regarding Mut‘at al-Nisa’ will come in the chapter of marriage.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
If, at the time of entering into ihram, only the intention for Hajj was made, then later the intention can be changed to that of ‘umrah.
(2)
Considering something to be inappropriate which the Shari‘ah has permitted is not a virtue.
(3)
Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him cannot perform Hajj tamattu‘.

Urdu Footnote:
➊ "There was no intention of anything else." This was the case in the beginning. In some narrations, it is mentioned that some had assumed the ihram for ‘umrah, then when they approached Makkah Mukarramah, the command for the obligation of ‘umrah was revealed, so at that point, everyone incorporated ‘umrah along with hajj. Then, those who had sacrificial animals remained in the state of ihram, while others, after performing ‘umrah, became lawful (halal) again. They then assumed a separate ihram for hajj. This explanation is preferable because in this way, all the ahadith retain their respective meanings.
➋ "They will be shedding semen." This is said as an exaggeration, meaning that it is not appropriate to have intercourse so close to hajj. These words are mentioned for the purpose of censure; otherwise, they did not have any illness that would cause such a thing. And hajj was to be performed after assuming ihram.
➌ "More righteous than you"—that is, to refrain from an act which I command or which I myself do is foolishness. If that act were blameworthy, I would not command it in the first place.
➍ "Which became known later"—that is, that performing ‘umrah would become obligatory.
➎ "Forever"—that is, tamattu‘ (combining ‘umrah and hajj with a break in between) is permissible until the Day of Judgment.
