Musnad Ahmad 5165

Translation

✧ 'Abdullah b. 'Abdullah and Salim b. 'Abdullah spoke to 'Abdullah when al-Hajjaj descended to fight Ibn al-Zubayr. They said: "It will not harm you if you do not perform Hajj this year, for we fear that there will be fighting among the people and that you will be prevented from reaching the House." He said: "If I am prevented from it, I will do as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did when I was with him, when the disbelievers of Quraysh prevented him from reaching the House. I call you to witness that I have made 'Umrah obligatory upon myself. If my way is left clear, I will complete my 'Umrah, and if I am prevented from it, I will do as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did when I was with him." Then he set out until he reached Dhu al-Hulayfah, and he entered into ihram for 'Umrah. Then he recited: 'Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example.' Then he traveled until he was at the back of al-Bayda'. He said: "The matter of the two is but one. If I am prevented from the 'Umrah, I will be prevented from the Hajj. I call you to witness that I have made Hajj obligatory upon myself along with my 'Umrah." Then he went on until he bought a sacrificial animal at Qudayd. Then he performed a single tawaf for both of them around the House and between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and he remained in that state until the Day of Sacrifice.
