‘Alī ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz al-Baghawī related (1): Hajjāj ibn al-Minhāl narrated to us, saying: Hammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Hammād ibn Abī Sulaymān or Humayd, from al-Hasan, that ‘Umar wanted to take the wealth of the Ka‘bah, saying, “The Ka‘bah has no need of this wealth.” He also wanted to forbid the people of Yemen from using urine in dyeing, and to forbid tamattu‘ in Hajj.

We also performed tamattu‘ with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he did not forbid it, nor did Allah Most High reveal any prohibition concerning it.”

‘Umar’s statement has already been cited: “If I were to perform ‘umrah in the middle of the year and then Hajj, I would perform tamattu‘; even if I were to perform Hajj fifty times, I would perform tamattu‘.” Hammād ibn Salamah narrated this from Qays, from Tāwūs, from him (4).

Shu‘bah narrated from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Tāwūs, from Ibn ‘Abbās, from ‘Umar: “If I were to perform ‘umrah twice in one year and then Hajj, I would combine an ‘umrah with my Hajj” (5).

Al-Thawrī narrated from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Tāwūs, from Ibn ‘Abbās, from ‘Umar: “If I were to perform ‘umrah, then another ‘umrah, and then Hajj, I would perform tamattu‘” (6).

Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated from Hishām ibn Hujayr and Layth, from Tāwūs, from Ibn ‘Abbās, who said: “This man whom they claim forbade tamattu‘—meaning
