سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ هَبَّارَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَنْحَرُ هَدْيَهُ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَخْطَأْنَا الْعِدَّةَ كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، فَقَالَ
عُمَرُ :
" اذْهَبْ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَطُفْ أَنْتَ وَمَنْ مَعَكَ، وَانْحَرُوا هَدْيًا إِنْ كَانَ مَعَكُمْ، ثُمَّ احْلِقُوا أَوْ قَصِّرُوا، وَارْجِعُوا فَإِذَا كَانَ عَامٌ قَابِلٌ فَحُجُّوا وَأَهْدُوا، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعَ " . ¤
It is narrated from Sulayman bin Yasar that Habar bin Aswad came on the Day of Sacrifice while Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was slaughtering his sacrificial animal, and he said: O Commander of the Faithful! We made a mistake in counting the dates; we thought today was the Day of Arafah (i.e., the ninth day). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Go to Makkah, you and your companions, and all perform Tawaf. If any of you has a sacrificial animal with him, then slaughter it, then shave your heads or shorten your hair, and return to your homeland. Next year, come and perform Hajj and offer a sacrificial animal. Whoever does not find a sacrificial animal should fast three days during the days of Hajj and seven days when he returns.
