حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَسَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَلَّمَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ (يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا) حِينَ نَزَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ لِقِتَالِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَقَالَا: لَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَحُجَّ هَذَا الْعَامَ، فَإِنَّا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ قِتَالٌ، وَأَنْ يُحَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ، قَالَ: إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ حَالَتْ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ، أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ عُمْرَةً فَإِنْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي قَضَيْتُ عُمْرَتِي، وَإِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَلَبَّى بِعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} ثُمَّ سَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِظَهْرِ الْبَيْدَاءِ، قَالَ: مَا أَمْرُهُمَا إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ، إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْعُمْرَةِ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ، أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ حَجَّةً مَعَ عُمْرَتِي، فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى ابْتَاعَ بِقُدَيْدٍ هَدْيًا ثُمَّ طَافَ لَهُمَا طَوَافًا وَاحِدًا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ
Nafi’ narrates that the year Hajjaj came to Makkah Mukarramah to fight against Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), that year the sons of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), Abdullah and Salim, said to their father: There is a danger of war this year, so it is better that you do not go for Hajj, because there is a fear that due to the fighting you may not be able to reach the House of Allah. He said: If there is any obstacle in reaching the House of Allah, I will do as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did on that occasion when the disbelievers of Quraysh prevented him (peace and blessings be upon him) from going towards the House of Allah. Now I make you witnesses that I have intended ‘Umrah; if I am not prevented, I will perform ‘Umrah, and if I face an obstacle in reaching the House of Allah, I will do as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and at that time I was also with him (peace and blessings be upon him). After this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out on his journey. When he reached Dhul-Hulaifah, he donned the Ihram for ‘Umrah and recited the Talbiyah. And he recited this verse: {لَقَدْ کَانَ لَکُمْ فِیْ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ أُسْوَۃٌ حَسَنَۃٌ} (Surah Al-Ahzab: 21) “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) you have a good example.” After this, he proceeded further, and when he reached above Bayda’, he said: The rulings of Hajj and ‘Umrah are the same; if there is an obstacle in my ‘Umrah, it would mean there will be an obstacle in my Hajj as well. Therefore, I make you witnesses that I am also donning the Ihram for Hajj along with ‘Umrah. After this, he proceeded further and, upon reaching Qudayd, bought a sacrificial animal. Then, upon reaching Makkah, he performed one Tawaf of the House of Allah and one Sa’i between Safa and Marwah for both Hajj and ‘Umrah. After that, he remained in this state until the Day of Sacrifice, i.e., the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah.
