Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَرْوَانَ الْأَصْغَرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَدِمَ مِنْ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ فَقَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ فَإِنِّي لَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْيَ لَأَحْلَلْتُ.
English Translation
Bahz told us, Sulaym ibn Hayyan told us, he said: I heard Marwan al-Asghar relate from Anas, that Ali came from Yemen, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "For what did you enter the state of ihram?" He said, "I entered ihram for what the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, entered ihram for." He said, "Were it not that I have the sacrificial offering with me, I would have exited ihram."
