ʿAlī came to the Messenger of Allah from Yemen. The Prophet asked him, ‘With what intention did you enter iḥrām?’ ʿAlī replied, ‘With the same intention as the Messenger of Allah.’ The Prophet said, ‘Had I not brought sacrificial animals with me, I would have exited iḥrām.’ This report is ḥasan gharīb through this route.
