Aswad reports from Abdullah (that is, Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him) that he gave the ruling for Hajj Ifrad. He said: I said, they have preferred that each of the two should have a state of dishevelment and travel, and their opinion is that Hajj Qiran is superior. When someone asks them for a legal verdict, they give that verdict, whereas Abdullah himself disliked Hajj Qiran.
