13. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabiy from his uncle ‘ Ubayd Allah who has said the following: “Once, a man said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was present, saying, ‘I performed al-‘Umrah in al-Haram months (the Sacred months). Now I have come to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘What you have done is very good. We do not compromise with the book of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to your cause. When our Lord will resurrect us and we will be brought before Him we will say, O our Lord we followed Your book and the Sunnah of Your Holy prophet. People will say, O Lord, we looked into our opinions and followed them, then Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, will do with us and with them as He wills.’””

14. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Durust from Muhammad ibn al- Fadl al-Hashimiy who has said the following: “Once my brothers and I went to see abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and we wanted to perform al- Hajj. Certain ones among us were for their first al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must perform al- Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); I because of taqiyyah, fear from Sultan; do not give up al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), do not ignore staying away from intoxicating liquor and do not wipe over the shoes.’”

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about my performing al-‘Umrah in the month of Rajab and that I wanted to perform al-Hajj, if driving the offering animal and Mufrid al-Hajj was better or al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘In each one there is goodness and beauty.’ I then asked, ‘Which one is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) said that ‘Al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) by Allah is more virtuous.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘People of Makkah say that his al-‘Umrah is Iraqiy and his al-Hajj is Makkiy. They by Allah speak a lie. Is not al-‘Umrah related to his al-Hajj from which he cannot come out unless he completes them all?’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘I used to go for al-‘Umrah one or two nights before the end of the month of Rajab and ‘Umm Farwah would say, “O father, our al-‘Umrah is in the month of al-Sha‘ban.” I would say, “My daughter it will be of the time when I commence not of the time when I will come out of the state of Ihram.’””
