Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Among the people who were with me, I heard Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: We, the Companions of the Messenger, called the talbiyah for Hajj alone. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived on the morning of the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah, and after arriving he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to come out of ihram and said: "Come out of ihram and approach your women." Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Approaching the women was not made obligatory upon them; rather, it was made permissible. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It reached him (peace and blessings be upon him) that we were saying: Only five days remain between us and Arafah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) has told us to come out of ihram and go to our women; are we then to arrive at Arafah with our private parts dripping semen? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up among us and said: "You know that I am the most fearful of Allah among you, the most truthful and the most righteous. Had I not brought my sacrificial animal, I too would have come out of ihram as you do. And had I known beforehand about this matter what I have come to know afterwards, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal. So come out of ihram." He said: So we came out of ihram; we heard and we obeyed. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from his assignment, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What talbiyah did you call?" He said: What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then offer a sacrifice and remain in ihram." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) offered a sacrifice for him. Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Ju'shum (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Is this benefit for this year only, or forever? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Forever."
