Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna, and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us, all of them from Ghandar — Ibn al-Muthanna said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us — Shu'bah narrated to us, from al-Hakam, from Ali ibn al-Husayn, from Dhakwan, the freed slave of A'ishah, from A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, that she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived on the fourth or fifth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, and he entered upon me while he was angry. I said, "Who has angered you, O Messenger of Allah? May Allah admit him to the Fire." He said, "Have you not realized that I commanded the people with a command, and behold, they are hesitating?" Al-Hakam said: It is as if they were hesitating, I think. "And if I had known beforehand what I have come to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me until I had bought it, and then I would have exited the state of ihram just as they did."
