On the authority of Anas ibn Malik: that Ali arrived to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, from Yemen, and he said: "With what did you enter into the state of ihram?" He said: "I entered into ihram with the same intention as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." He said: "Were it not that I have a sacrificial animal with me, I would have exited ihram." (1)

This is a good and ghareeb hadith from this chain.

109 - Chapter: What has been reported concerning the Day of the Greater Hajj

978 - 'Abd al-Warith ibn 'Abd al-Samad ibn 'Abd al-Warith narrated to us, he said: my father narrated to us, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Harith, from Ali, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about the Day of the Greater Hajj, and he said: "The Day of Sacrifice." (2)

979 - Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us, he said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Harith--------------------------------------------

(1) Authentic. It was recorded by al-Bukhari (1558) and Muslim (1250), and it is in al-Musnad (12927) and Sahih Ibn Hibban (3776).

(2) Its chain is weak. Muhammad ibn Ishaq is a mudallis who narrated without specifying his hearing, and al-Harith — who is Ibn 'Abdullah al-A'war — is weak. It is also narrated as a mawquf report on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib with a weak chain, and it will follow afterward. Abu Dawud (1945) recorded from Mu'ammal ibn al-Fadl: al-Walid narrated to us, Hisham ibn al-Ghaz narrated to us, Nafi' narrated to us, from Ibn 'Umar: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the Day of Sacrifice between the jamarat during the Hajj he performed, and said: "What day is this?" They said: The Day of Sacrifice. He said: "This is the Day of the Greater Hajj." And this is an authentic chain. The hadith of this chapter will also come at number (3342).
