وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فِي نَاسٍ مَعِي قَالَ: أَهْلَلْنَا، أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا وَحْدَهُ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَقَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: قَالَ «حِلُّوا وَأَصِيبُوا النِّسَاءَ» قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: وَلَمْ يَعْزِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَكِنْ أَحَلَّهُنَّ لَهُمْ، فَقُلْنَا: لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلَّا خَمْسٌ، أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُفْضِيَ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا، فَنَأْتِيَ عرَفَةَ تَقْطُرُ مَذَاكِيرُنَا الْمَنِيَّ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ جَابِرٌ بِيَدِهِ - كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ بِيَدِهِ يُحَرِّكُهَا - قَالَ: فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِينَا، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي أَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَأَبَرُّكُمْ، وَلَوْلَا هَدْيِي لَحَلَلْتُ كَمَا تَحِلُّونَ، وَلَوْ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ لَمْ أَسُقِ الْهَدْيَ، فَحِلُّوا» فَحَلَلْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ سِعَايَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ؟» قَالَ: بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَأَهْدِ وَامْكُثْ حَرَامًا» قَالَ: وَأَهْدَى لَهُ عَلِيٌّ هَدْيًا، فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِأَبَدٍ؟ فَقَالَ: «لِأَبَدٍ».

We the Companions of Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) put on Ihram for Hajj only. Ata' further said that Jabir stated: Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) came on the 4th of Dhu'l-Hijja and he commanded us to put off Ihram. 'Ata' said that he (Allah's Apostle) commanded them to put off Ihram and to go to their wives (for intercourse). 'Ata' said: It was not obligatory for them, but (intercourse) with them had become permissible. We said: When only five days had been left to reach 'Arafa, he (the Holy Prophet) commanded us to have intercourse with our wives. And we reached 'Arafa in a state as if we had just had intercourse (with them). He ('Ata') said: Jabir رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ pointed with his hand and I (perceive) as if I am seeing his hand as it moved. In the (meantime) the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) stood amongst us and said: You are well aware that I am the most God-fearing, most truthful and most pious amongst you. And if there were not sacrificial animals with me, I would also have put off Ihram as you have put off. And if I were to know this matter of mine what I have come to know later on, I would not have brought sacrificial animals with me. So they (the Companions) put off Ihram and we also put it off and listened to (the Holy Prophet) and obeyed (his command). Jabir رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: 'Ali رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ came with the revenue of the taxes (from Yemen). He (the Holy Prophet) said: For what (purpose) have you entered into the state of Ihram (whether you entered into the state purely for Hajj and, Umra jointly or Hajj and Umra separately)? He said: For the purpose for which the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had entered. (The Prophet had entered as a Qiran, i.e. Ihram covering both Umra and Hajj simultaneously.) Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Offer a sacrifice of animal, and retain Ihram. And 'Ali رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ brought a sacrificial animal for him (for the Holy Prophet). Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'shum رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: Messenger of Allah, is it (this concession putting off Ihram of Hajj or Umra) meant for this year or is it forever? He said: It is forever.
