وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِوِ بْنِ اَلْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-وَقَفَ فِي حَجَّةِ اَلْوَدَاعِ, فَجَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ, فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: لَمْ أَشْعُرْ, فَحَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ.‏ قَالَ: " اِذْبَحْ وَلَا حَرَجَ " فَجَاءَ آخَرُ, فَقَالَ: لَمْ أَشْعُرْ, فَنَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ, قَالَ: " اِرْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ " فَمَا سُئِلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قُدِّمَ وَلَا أُخِّرَ إِلَّا قَالَ: " اِفْعَلْ وَلَا حَرَجَ " } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.‏ 1‏ .‏‏1 ‏- صحيح.‏ رواه البخاري ( 83 )‏، ومسلم ( 1306 )‏.‏

Translation

‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported: During the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood while people asked him questions. A man said, ‘I did not realize, so I shaved my head before slaughtering.’ He replied, ‘Slaughter; there is no blame on you.’ Another man came and said, ‘I did not realize, so I slaughtered before throwing the pebbles.’ He replied, ‘Throw the pebbles; there is no blame on you.’ That day, whenever he was asked about doing something earlier or later than prescribed, he would say, ‘Do it; there is no blame on you.’ Agreed upon.
