- "Did you not realize that I commanded them with a command, yet they hesitated? If I had known what I know now, I would not have driven the sacrificial animals nor bought them until I had exited the state of iḥrām as they did." It was recorded by Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh in his "Musnad" (4/126/2): Al-Naḍr and Wahb informed us, saying: Shuʿbah narrated to us from al-Ḥakam ibn ʿUtaybah from ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn from Dhakwān, the freed slave of ʿĀʾishah, from ʿĀʾishah who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) entered upon me four or five nights before the end of Dhū al-Ḥijjah during his pilgrimage, and he was angry. I said: O Messenger of Allāh, who has angered you? May Allāh cast him into the Fire! He said: and then mentioned it. I say: This isnād is authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim, and it was also recorded by Muslim (4/33-34), Aḥmad (6/175), and al-Bayhaqī (5/19) through other routes from Shuʿbah with it. I say: This ḥadīth is similar to many ḥadīths mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim in "Zād al-Maʿād," all of which include his (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) command to those performing ḥajj alone or combining it with ʿumrah, who had not driven the sacrificial animals, to change their intention to ʿumrah. I chose to mention this one here due to the rarity of its initial source: "Musnad Isḥāq," and ʿĀʾishah's account of his (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) anger due to his companions' hesitation in executing the command to change their intention, knowing that their hesitation was not out of disobedience, as that was not their custom, but rather, as its narrator al-Ḥakam said to Aḥmad and others: "It was as if they were in awe." This is because, during the pre-Islamic period, they did not recognize ʿumrah during the days of ḥajj, as mentioned in some authentic ḥadīths, from one perspective. From another perspective: they saw that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) did not exit the state of iḥrām with them, so they thought there was leeway in the matter and hesitated. When they understood the reason from him and he confirmed the command for them, they hastened to execute it
- " أما شعرت أني أمرتهم بأمر فهم يترددون، ولو كنت استقبلت من أمري ما استدبرت ما سقت الهدي ولا اشتريته حتى أحل كما حلوا ". أخرجه إسحاق ابن راهويه في " مسنده " (٤ / ١٢٦ / ٢) : أخبرنا النضر ووهب قالا: حدثنا شعبة عن الحكم بن عتيبة عن علي بن حسين عن ذكوان مولى عائشة عن عائشة قالت: دخل علي رسول الله ﷺ لأربع ليال خلون أو خمس من ذي الحجة في حجته وهو غضبان، فقلت: يا رسول الله من أغضبك أدخله الله النار؟! فقال: فذكره. قلت: وهذا إسناد صحيح على شرط الشيخين، وقد أخرجه مسلم (٤ / ٣٣ - ٣٤) وأحمد (٦ / ١٧٥) والبيهقي (٥ / ١٩) من طرق أخرى عن شعبة به. قلت: وهذا الحديث مثل أحاديث كثيرة ذكرها ابن القيم في " زاد المعاد "، فيها كلها أمره ﷺ المفردين والقارنين الذين لم يسوقوا الهدي بفسخ الحج إلى العمرة، وآثرت هذا منها بالذكر ههنا لعزة مخرجه الأول: " مسند إسحاق "، وحكاية عائشة غضبه ﷺ بسبب تردد أصحابه في تنفيذ الأمر بالفسخ، علما أن ترددهم ﵃ لم يكن عن عصيان منهم، فإن ذلك ليس من عادتهم، وإنما هو كما قال راويه الحكم عند أحمد وغيره: " كأنهم هابوا ". وذلك لأنهم كانوا في الجاهلية لا يعرفون العمرة في أيام الحج كما جاء في بعض الأحاديث الصحيحة، هذا من جهة. ومن جهة أخرى: أنهم رأوا النبي ﷺ لم يحل معهم، فظنوا أن في الأمر سعة فترددوا، فلما عرفوا منه السبب وأكد لهم الأمر بادروا إلى تنفيذه ﵃.
