سنن نسائی · Hadith 2725

It was narrated that Abu Wa’jl said: “As-SubaI bin Ma’bad said: ‘I was a Christian Bedouin, then I became Muslim. I was keen to go for Jihad but I learned that ffajj and “Umra/’z had been enjoined on me. I went to a man of my clan who was called Huraim bin ‘Abdullah and asked him, and he said: “Put them together, then slaughter whatever you can of the HadI.” So I entered Ihram for both together, and when I came to Al ‘Udhaib, I was met by Salman bin Rabi’ah and Zaid bin Suban, while I was uttering the Talbiyah for both. One of them said to the other: “He does not understand more than his camel!” I came to ‘Umar and said: “Commander of the Belivers! I have become Muslim and I am keen to go for Jihad, but I learned that Hajj and “Umrah were enjoined on me, so I went to Huraim bin ‘Abdullah and said: ‘Hey you! I have learned that Hajj and “Umrah have been enjoined on me.’ He said: ‘Put them together then slaughter whatever you can of the HadI.’ So I entered Ihram for both together, and when I came to Al-’Udhaib I was met by Salman bin Rabi’ah and Zaid bin Suhan, and one of them said to the other: ‘He does not understand more than his camel.” ‘Umar said: “You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.” (Sahih)
