2815 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us, saying: Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, from al-Hakam, from Mujahid, from Ibn 'Abbas, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "This is an 'umrah by which we have enjoyed ourselves (tamatta'na). So whoever does not have a sacrificial animal (hady) with him, let him exit the state of ihram completely, for the 'umrah has been incorporated into the Hajj."

============================================
And there is no need for interpretation [of this report].

Al-Bayhaqi said in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" 5/18: "The statement of those who say that he ﷺ entered ihram for Hajj is perhaps more fitting, due to its agreement with the narration of Abu al-'Aliyah al-Barra' and Abu Hassan al-A'raj from Ibn 'Abbas regarding the Prophet's ﷺ entering ihram for Hajj. And Allah knows best." End quote.

The narration of Abu Hassan al-A'raj has preceded under numbers (2782) and (2791), and the narration of Abu al-'Aliyah al-Barra' will follow under numbers (2870) and (2871).

Muslim also recorded it (1239): (196), and Abu Dawud abbreviated it (1804), via the route of Mu'adh ibn Mu'adh al-'Anbari, from Shu'bah, with the same chain. In Muslim's version it includes: "And Talhah ibn 'Ubayd Allah was among those who drove the sacrificial animal, so he did not exit ihram." End quote. This narration is preferred over the narration of Muhammad ibn Ja'far because it agrees with what appears in the hadith of Jabir in al-Bukhari (1651), which includes: "And none of them had a sacrificial animal except the Prophet ﷺ and Talhah."

And consider the hadith preceding this one and the hadith following it.

(1) In the margins of (K) and (M): "istaqbalnaha" (we have received it). [Variant reading]
(2) In (R), (M), and the margin of (H): "ma'ahu" (with him). [Variant reading]
(3) Its chain is authentic. Muhammad: he is Ibn Ja'far, and al-Hakam: he is Ibn 'Utaybah, and Mujahid: he is Ibn Jabr al-Makki. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (3783).

Muslim also recorded it (1241) from Muhammad ibn Bashshar, with this chain, and in his version: "For the 'umrah has been incorporated into the Hajj until the Day of Resurrection."

Ahmad also recorded it (2115) and (3172), Muslim (1241), and Abu Dawud (1790) via the route of Muhammad ibn Ja'far, with the same chain. Ahmad paired with Muhammad ibn Ja'far in the first narration Yazid ibn Harun, and in the second Rawh ibn 'Ubadah.

Abu Dawud said: "This is munkar (rejected); it is only the statement of Ibn 'Abbas." Al-Mundhiri said in "Mukhtasar Sunan Abi Dawud" 2/314-315: "There is consideration in what Abu Dawud said; for Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal has indeed recorded it..."
