حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَائِشَةَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ إِلَّا لِيَقْطَعَ بِذَلِکَ أَمْرَ أَهْلِ الشِّرْکِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْحَيَّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَمَنْ دَانَ دِينَهُمْ کَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا عَفَا الْوَبَرْ وَبَرَأَ الدَّبَرْ وَدَخَلَ صَفَرْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ الْعُمْرَةُ لِمَنْ اعْتَمَرْ فَکَانُوا يُحَرِّمُونَ الْعُمْرَةَ حَتَّی يَنْسَلِخَ ذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1987
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not make Aishah perform Umrah during Dhul-Hijjah but to discontinue the practice of the idolaters (in Arabia before Islam), for this clan of Quraysh and those who followed them used to say: When the fur of the camel abounds, and the wounds on the back of the camels are recovered and the month of Safar begins, Umrah becomes lawful for one who performs Umrah. They considered performing Umrah unlawful till the months of Dhul-Hijjah and al-Muharram passed away.
