Muslim (1) likewise records it in his Ṣaḥīḥ, through ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAwn, from ʿAbbād ibn ʿAbbād, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared the talbiyah for Hajj alone (ifrād).

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Bakr al-Bazzār said: “Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz and Muḥammad ibn Miskīn narrated to us; Bishr ibn Bakkār narrated to us; Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared the talbiyah for Hajj—meaning, as a single pilgrimage.” Its chain is good, and it is not found in the two Ṣaḥīḥs.

Ibn ʿAbbās’s narration concerning ifrād

Al-Bayhaqī (2) reports—via Ruḥ ibn ʿUbādah, from Shuʿbah, from Ayyūb, from Abū l-ʿĀliyah al-Barrāʾ—on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered into ihrām for Hajj. When he arrived with four days of Dhū al-Ḥijjah already past, he led us in the dawn prayer at al-Baṭḥāʾ and then said, ‘Whoever wishes to turn it into ʿUmrah may do so.’”
Al-Bayhaqī added: “Muslim (3) has also transmitted it through Ibrāhīm ibn Dīnār, from Ruḥ.”

We have already cited the report of Qatādah, from Abū Ḥassān al-Aʿraj, from Ibn ʿAbbās: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the noon prayer at Dhū al-Ḥulayfah, then had a sacrificial camel brought to him, branded the right side of its hump, mounted his riding beast, and when it carried him onto al-Bayḍāʾ he declared the talbiyah for Hajj. This too appears in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (4).

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū l-Ḥasan al-Dāraquṭnī (5) said: “Al-Ḥusayn ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us; Abū Hishām narrated to us; Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated to us; Abū Ḥuṣayn narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Aswad, from his father, who said: ‘I performed Hajj with Abū Bakr and he performed it singly; with ʿUmar and he performed it singly; and with ʿUthmān and he performed it singly.’”

Al-Thawrī corroborated Abū Ḥuṣayn in this report. We have cited it here because it appears that these eminent Imams—may Allah be pleased with them—acted in this manner based on direct instruction. In this context, “tajrīd” means ifrād, and Allah knows best.
