Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11038

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : كَانَ الْعَرَبُ يُحِلُّونَ عَامًا شَهْرًا وَعَامًا شَهْرَيْنِ ، وَلَا يُصِيبُونَ الْحَجَّ إِلَّا فِي كُلِّ سِتَّةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً مَرَّةً ، وَهُوَ النَّسِيءُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - فِي كِتَابِهِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامُ حَجِّ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِالنَّاسِ ، وَافَقَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامُ الْحَجَّ ، فَسَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ الْحَجَّ الْأَكْبَرَ ، ثُمَّ حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ الْأَهِلَّةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Arabs used to declare one month lawful in one year and two months lawful in another year, so they would reach the correct time of Hajj only once every twenty-six years. This is the postponement (nasi') that Allah Almighty mentioned in His Book. When the year came in which Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in Hajj, that year coincided with the true Hajj, so Allah Almighty named it the Greater Hajj. Then in the following year the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj, and the people began to keep correct count of the new moons. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, time has come round to the way it was on the day Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
