Sahih al-Bukhari 2407 (Book 47, Hadith 21)
assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to change our
intentions of the Ihram for `Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the `Umra and
could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said
surprisingly, “Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?” Jabir moved his
hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he delivered a sermon and said, “I have
been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and
am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the
Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram.” At that
Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Is this permission for us only or is it
forever?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “It is forever.” In the meantime `Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen
and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet (ﷺ) has intended. (According to another man, `Ali was
saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)’s). The Prophet (ﷺ) told him to keep on the Ihram and
let him share the Hadi with him.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2407 (Book 47, Hadith 21)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
