حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِى مُوسَى قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ مُنِيخٌ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَقَالَ لِى « أَحَجَجْتَ ». فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ « بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ بِإِهْلاَلٍ كَإِهْلاَلِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. قَالَ « فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ طُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَأَحِلَّ ». قَالَ فَطُفْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِى قَيْسٍ فَفَلَتْ رَأْسِى ثُمَّ أَهْلَلْتُ بِالْحَجِّ. قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أُفْتِى بِهِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى كَانَ فِى خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنه - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى - أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ - رُوَيْدَكَ بَعْضَ فُتْيَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِى مَا أَحْدَثَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى النُّسُكِ بَعْدَكَ. فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كُنَّا أَفْتَيْنَاهُ فُتْيَا فَلْيَتَّئِدْ فَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَادِمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فَبِهِ فَائْتَمُّوا. قَالَ فَقَدِمَ عُمَرُ - رضى الله عنه - فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُ بِالتَّمَامِ وَإِنْ نَأْخُذْ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَمْ يَحِلَّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْهَدْىُ مَحِلَّهُ.

It was narrated that Abu Musa said: “I came to Messenger of Allah (SAW) while he was halting in Al-Batha, and he said to me: ‘Did you intend to perform Hajj?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘For what did you enter Ihram?’ I said: ‘I said: “here I am at your Service, for the same as the Prophet (SAW) has entered Ihram.” He said: ‘You have done well. Circumambulate the House and go between As-Safa and Al- Marwah, then exit Ihram.’ I circumambulated the Kabah and went between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then I came to woman of Banu Qais who rid my head of lice. Then I entered Ihram for Hajj. I continued to state Fatwa (religious rulings) to that effect for the people until the Khilafah of Umar [may Allah be pleased with them].’’” A man said to him: “O Abu Musa,” or “O Abdullah bin Qais, exercise restraint in your Fatwa, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced with regard to the rituals after you. He said: ‘O people, whoever heard a Fatwa from us (about exiting Ihram) let him wait, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to you, so follow him.’ Then Umar [may Allah be pleased with them] came and I mentioned that to him, and he said: ‘We follow the Book of Allah, and the Book of Allah enjoins completing Hajj and Umrah. And we follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (SAW), and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) did not exit Ihram until the sacrifice reached its destination.’ ”
