English Translation

Husayn ibn Muhammad and Khalaf ibn al-Walid told us, they said: al-Rabi' - meaning Ibn Subayh - told us, from Ata', from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: We arrived with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the morning of the fourth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, all of us raising our voices for Hajj. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered us, so we circled the House, prayed the two rak'ahs, and went between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Then he ordered us, and we shortened our hair, then he said: Exit consecration. We said: O Messenger of Allah, exit to what? He said: Exit to what is lawful for one not in consecration, of women and perfume. He said: So the women were approached, and the incense braziers were lit up. Khalaf said: and it reached him that some of them were saying, One of us will go to Mina while his private part is still dripping with semen. He said: So he addressed them, praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: If I could go back and redo what I have already done, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal, and if I had not brought the sacrificial animal, I would have exited consecration. So take your rites of pilgrimage from me. He said: The people then remained in their state of having exited consecration until, when it was the Day of Tarwiyah and they intended to set out for Mina, they entered consecration for Hajj. He said: The sacrificial animal was obligatory upon whoever could find one, and fasting upon whoever could not, and he made them share in their sacrificial animals - the camel among seven, and the cow among seven. And their circling of the House and their going between al-Safa and al-Marwah for their Hajj and their umrah was one single circling and one single going between them.
