Sahih al-Bukhari 1583 (Book 25, Hadith 123)
said to Ibn `Umar, “There is a danger of an impending war between them.” Ibn `Umar said, “Verily, in
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) you have a good example. (And if it happened as you say) then I would do the same as
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had done. I make you witness that I have decided to perform `Umra.” Then he set out
and when he reached Al-Baida’, he said, “The ceremonies of both Hajj and `Umra are similar. I make
you witness that I have made Hajj compulsory for me along with `Umra.” He drove (to Mecca) a Hadi
which he had bought from (a place called) Qudaid and did not do more than that. He did not slaughter
the Hadi or finish his Ihram, or shave or cut short his hair till the day of slaughtering the sacrifices
(10th Dhul-Hijja). Then he slaughtered his Hadi and shaved his head and considered the first Tawaf
(of Safa and Marwa) as sufficient for Hajj and `Umra. Ibn `Umar said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did the same.”
