Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 96, Hadith 7369

حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فِي أُنَاسٍ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَيْسَ مَعَهُ عُمْرَةٌ ـ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ ـ فَقَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نَحِلَّ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَحِلُّوا وَأَصِيبُوا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَلَمْ يَعْزِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَكِنْ أَحَلَّهُنَّ لَهُمْ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّا نَقُولُ لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلاَّ خَمْسٌ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَنَأْتِي عَرَفَةَ تَقْطُرُ مَذَاكِيرُنَا الْمَذْىَ قَالَ وَيَقُولُ جَابِرٌ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَحَرَّكَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي أَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَلَوْلاَ هَدْيِي لَحَلَلْتُ كَمَا تَحِلُّونَ فَحِلُّوا فَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَحَلَلْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا‏.‏

Narrated Ata: “I heard Jabir bin Abdullah in a gathering saying, “We, the Companions of Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without Umra.” Jabir added, “The Prophet (pbuh) arrived (at Makkah) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Makkah), Prophet (pbuh), ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, “Finish your Ihram and go to your wives [i.e., now sexual relationship with wives is legal (allowed) which was forbidden due to the state of Ihram.] “Jabir added, “The Prophet (pbuh) did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made it legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, “When there remains only five days between us and the day of Arafa he ordered us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to Arafa with our male organs dribbling with semen?” (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) stood up and said, “You (people) know that I fear Allah much, and I am most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hady with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram if I had formerly known what I have come to know lately, I would not have brought the Hady with me.” So we finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet (pbuh) and obeyed him.” [See Hadith No.1651].
