حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَسَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَلَّمَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ حِينَ نَزَلَ الْحَجَّاجُ لِقِتَالِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَا لَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَحُجَّ الْعَامَ فَإِنَّا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ قِتَالٌ وَأَنْ يُحَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ حَالَتْ كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ عُمْرَةً فَإِنْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي قَضَيْتُ عُمْرَتِي وَإِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَلَبَّى بِعُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ثُمَّ سَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِظَهْرِ الْبَيْدَاءِ قَالَ مَا أَمْرُهُمَا إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ إِنْ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْعُمْرَةِ حِيلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْحَجِّ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ حَجَّةً مَعَ عُمْرَتِي فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى ابْتَاعَ بِقُدَيْدٍ هَدْيًا ثُمَّ طَافَ لَهُمَا طَوَافًا وَاحِدًا بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5165
Naafi' narrated that 'Abd-Allah ibn 'Abd-Allah and Saalim Ibn Abd-Allah spoke to 'Abd-Allah when al-Hajjaaj came to fight Ibn al-Zubayr. They said: It does not matter if you do not do Hajj this year; we are afraid that there will be fighting among the people and it may prevent you from reaching the House. He said: If I am prevented from reaching the House, I will do what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did when I was with him, when the kuffaar of Quraysh prevented him from reaching the House. I ask you to bear witness that I have committed myself to do 'Umrah. If I am let through, I will do my 'Umrah, but if I am prevented from reaching the House, I will do what the Messenger of Allah PBUH) did when I was with him. Then he went out until he reached Dhu'l-Hulayfah, where he entered ihram for 'Umrah. Then he recited, "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad (PBUH) you have a good example to follow”[al-Ahzaab 33:21]. Then he travelled on until, when he cached Zahr al-Bayda', he said: They are both the same. If I am Prevented from doing 'Umrah, then I will be prevented from doing Hajj. I ask you to bear Witness that I have committed myself to doing Hajj with 'Umrah.He travelled on and bought a sacrificial animal in Qudayd, then he did one tawaaf for both and one saa'i between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then he did not exit ihraam until he exited ihraam from both cm the Day of Sacrifice.
