Hadith 6766

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibnUmar set out for Makka during the troubles (between al-Hajjaj ibnYusuf and Zubair ibn al-Awwam) he said, "If I am blocked from going tothe House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," and he went intoihram for umra, because that was what the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, did in the year of al-Hudaybiya.But afterwards, he reconsidered his position and said, "It isthe same either way." After that he turned to his companions and said,"It is the same either way. I call you to witness that I have decidedin favour of hajj and umra together."He then got through tothe House (without being stopped) and did one set of tawaf, which heconsidered to be enough for himself, and sacrificed an animal.Malik said, "This is what we go by if someone is hindered by anenemy, as the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, andhis companions were. If some one is hindered by anything other than anenemy, he is only freed from ihram by tawaf of the House. "
