Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 2998

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ بَيَانٍ عَنْ وَبَرَةَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - أَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَقَدْ أَحْرَمْتُ بِالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ قَالَ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ فُلاَنٍ يَكْرَهُهُ وَأَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُ رَأَيْنَاهُ قَدْ فَتَنَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا. فَقَالَ وَأَيُّنَا - أَوْ أَيُّكُمْ - لَمْ تَفْتِنْهُ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَحْرَمَ بِالْحَجِّ وَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَسُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةُ رَسُولِهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ فُلاَنٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا.

It was narrated from that Wabarah said: “A man asked Ibn Umar [may Allah be pleased with them]:’ ‘Should I circumambulate the House once I have entered Ihram for Hajj?’ he said: ‘What is stopping you?’ he said: ‘I saw the son of the so-and-so disapproving of it, but you are dearer to us than him; we see that he is tempted by this world.’ He said: ‘Which of us?’ – or ‘which of you’ –‘is not tempted by this world’ then he said: ‘We saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) enter Ihram for Hajj, circumambulate the House and perform Sa’i between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. The way of Allah and the way of His Messenger (SAW) are more deserving of being followed the way of so-and-so, if you are sincere.’”
