Sahih Muslim 1240d
وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ السَّدُوسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ الْبَرَّاءِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابُهُ لأَرْبَعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ وَهُمْ يُلَبُّونَ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً .
Harun ibn Abdullah narrated to us: Muhammad ibn al-Fadl al-Sadusi narrated to us: Wuhayb narrated to us: Ayyub informed us, from Abu al-Aliya al-Bara, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), who said: The Prophet and his Companions arrived after four of the ten had passed, proclaiming the talbiya for Hajj. He instructed them to make it an Umra.
Translation notes
- رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابُهُ لأَرْبَعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ وَهُمْ يُلَبُّونَ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً .
The Arabic says only “after four of the ten had passed”; it does not name Dhu al-Hijja in this wording.
Should the English month be supplied from context, or should the translation retain the Arabic wording “four of the ten”?
