It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Yemen, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "With what intention did you enter ihram?" He replied: "I entered the same ihram that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: "Had I not had the sacrificial animal with me, I would have come out of ihram."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Shu'bah except al-Samayda' bin Wahib, and Abu Burayd is alone in narrating it."
