عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ذَكَرُوا الرَّجُلَ يُهِلُّ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَيَحِلُّ، هَلْ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَعْنِي امْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَسَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَسَأَلْنَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا فَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ}
Amr bin Dinar says that people mentioned this matter: if a man puts on the ihram for Umrah, then he comes out of ihram, can he have intercourse with his wife before performing the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah? Then we asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, and he said: No, he cannot do this until he has performed the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. Then we asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) this question, and he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, performed seven circuits around the House of Allah, then offered two rak’ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim, and then performed the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. After this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: {لَقَدْ کَانَ لَکُمْ فِیْ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ أَسْوَۃٌ حَسَنَۃٌ} … Indeed, in the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) there is a best example for you. (Surah Al-Ahzab: 21)
