أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَی عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی أَنَّهُ کَانَ يُفْتِي بِالْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ رُوَيْدَکَ بِبَعْضِ فُتْيَاکَ فَإِنَّکَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي النُّسُکِ بَعْدُ حَتَّی لَقِيتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ فَعَلَهُ وَلَکِنْ کَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَظَلُّوا مُعَرِّسِينَ بِهِنَّ فِي الْأَرَاکِ ثُمَّ يَرُوحُوا بِالْحَجِّ تَقْطُرُ رُئُوسُهُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2741
It was narrated that Abu Musa said that he used to issue Fatwas concerning Tamattu’. Then a man said to him: “Withhold some of your Fatwas, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers introduced into the rites subsequently.” Then when I met him, I asked him. ‘Umar said: “I know that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and his Companions did it, but I did not like that people should lay with their wives in the shade of the Arak trees, and then go out for Hajj with their heads dripping.” (Sahih)
