حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ صُبَيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ التَّغْلِبِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِنَصْرَانِيَّةٍ فَأَرَدْتُ الْجِهَادَ أَوْ الْحَجَّ فَأَتَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِي يُقَالُ لَهُ هُدَيْمٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي بِالْحَجِّ فَقَرَنْتُ بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَذَكَرَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 256
It was narrated from 'Umar that he said: O Messenger of Allah, I vowed during the Jahiliyyah to observe i'tikaf for one night in al-Masjid al-Haram. He said to him: "Fulfil your vow."
