Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَسَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَلَّمَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ حِينَ نَزَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ لِقِتَالِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَا لَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَحُجَّ الْعَامَ فَإِنَّا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ قِتَالٌ وَأَنْ يُحَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ حَالَتْ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ عُمْرَةً فَإِنْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي قَضَيْتُ عُمْرَتِي وَإِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَلَبَّى بِعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا { لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ } ثُمَّ سَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِظَهْرِ الْبَيْدَاءِ قَالَ مَا أَمْرُهُمَا إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْعُمْرَةِ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ حَجَّةً مَعَ عُمْرَتِي فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى ابْتَاعَ بِقُدَيْدٍ هَدْيًا ثُمَّ طَافَ لَهُمَا طَوَافًا وَاحِدًا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ.
English Translation
Yahya told us, from Ubaydullah: Nafi' informed me, that Abdullah ibn Abdullah and Salim ibn Abdullah spoke to Abdullah ibn Umar when al-Hajjaj came down to fight Ibn az-Zubayr, and they said, "It would not harm you to not perform Hajj this year, for we fear there may be fighting among the people and that you may be kept from reaching the House." He said, "If I am kept from it, I will do as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did, while I was with him, when the disbelievers of Quraysh kept him from the House. I call you to witness that I have committed myself to an Umrah. If my way is made clear, I will complete my Umrah, and if I am kept from it, I will do as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did while I was with him." Then he set out until he reached Dhul-Hulayfah, where he called the talbiyah for Umrah, then recited, "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example." Then he continued until, when he was at the back of al-Bayda', he said, "The matter of the two is but one; if I am kept from Umrah, I am kept from Hajj. I call you to witness that I have committed myself to Hajj along with my Umrah." He then went on until he bought a sacrificial animal at Qudayd, then performed one single circumambulation for both of them around the House and between Safa and Marwah, and remained in that state until the Day of Sacrifice.
