حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ عَطَائَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَا يُخَالِطُهُ شَيْئٌ فَقَدِمْنَا مَکَّةَ لِأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَطُفْنَا وَسَعَيْنَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُحِلَّ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا هَدْيِي لَحَلَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَامَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مُتْعَتَنَا هَذِهِ أَلِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ هِيَ لِلْأَبَدِ قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ سَمِعْتُ عَطَائَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا فَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ حَتَّی لَقِيتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ فَأَثْبَتَهُ لِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1787
Jabir bin Abdullah said “We raised our voices in talbiyah along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ exclusively for Hajj, not combining anything with it. When we came to Makkah four days of Dhu al Hijjah had already passed. We the circumambulated (the Kaabah) and ran between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then commanded us to put off ihram. He said if I had not brought the sacrificial animals, I would have taken off Ihram. Suraqah bin Malik then stood up and said Messenger of Allah, what do you think, have you provided this facility to us for this year alone or forever? The Messenger of Allah said No, this forever and forever. Al Awza’l said I heard Ata bin Abi Rabah narrating this tradition, but I did not memorize it till I met Ibn Juraij who confirmed it for me.
