Musnad Ahmad 19505

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to the land of my people. When the Hajj approached, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Hajj and I performed Hajj. I came to him while he was encamped at al-Abtah. He said to me: 'With what did you enter ihram, O 'Abd Allah b. Qays?' I said: 'I said: Labbayk with a Hajj like the Hajj of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: 'You have done well.' Then he said: 'Did you drive a sacrificial animal?' I said: 'I did not.' He said to me: 'Go and circumambulate the House, and between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then exit ihram.' So I went and did what he commanded me. I came to a woman of my people, and she washed my head with marshmallow and combed it. Then I entered ihram for Hajj on the day of Tarwiyah. I continued to give fatwas to the people according to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me until he passed away, then during the time of Abu Bakr ؓ, then during the time of 'Umar ؓ. While I was standing at the Black Stone or the Maqam giving fatwas to the people according to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, a man came to me and whispered to me, saying: 'Do not be hasty with your fatwa, for the Commander of the Believers has introduced something new in the rites.' I said: 'O people, whoever we have given a fatwa concerning the rites, let him be cautious, for the Commander of the Believers is coming, so follow him.' He said: Then 'Umar ؓ arrived, and I said: 'O Commander of the Believers, have you introduced something new in the rites?' He said: 'Yes. If we follow the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, it commands completion, and if we follow the sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ, he did not exit ihram until he had slaughtered the sacrificial animal.'
