Narrated Shu`ba:

Abu Jamra Nasr bin `Imran Ad-Duba'i said, "I intended to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu` and the people advised me not to do so. I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to perform Hajj-at- Tammatu'. Later I saw in a dream someone saying to me, 'Hajj-Mabrur (Hajj performed in accordance with the Prophet's tradition without committing sins and accepted by Allah) and an accepted `Umra.' So I told that dream to Ibn `Abbas. He said, 'This is the tradition of Abul-Qasim.' Then he said to me, 'Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of my property.' " I (Shu`ba) asked, "Why (did he invite you)?" He (Abu Jamra) said, "Because of the dream which I had seen."

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ، نَصْرُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ قَالَ تَمَتَّعْتُ فَنَهَانِي نَاسٌ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَأَمَرَنِي، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ لِي حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ وَعُمْرَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ سُنَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لِي أَقِمْ عِنْدِي، فَأَجْعَلَ لَكَ سَهْمًا مِنْ مَالِي‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَ فَقَالَ لِلرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَأَيْتُ‏.‏

Tamattu’ in Hajj means entering into ihraam for `Umrah during the months of Hajj, completing it and then exiting the state of ihraam before subsequently entering ihraam for Hajj during the same year. After arriving at Makkah during the months of Hajj and completing ‘Umrah, pilgrims may exit their Ihraam and enjoy all that which is lawful until the commencement of the Hajj rites. In this hadeeth, the Taabi’ee, Nasr ibn ‘Imraan al-Dub’ee reports that he entered Ihraam with the intention of performing Tamattu’ i.e., he entered Ihraam for `Umrah during the months of Hajj. However, some people informed him he should not do it. This happened during the time of ‘Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them) who used to forbid people from performing Tamattu’ because both ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab and ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allah be pleased with them) used to discourage people to perform Tamattu’ and to enter Ihraam with the intention of performing Hajj alone or ‘Umrah alone i.e., each one to perform in a separate journey. After hearing the objection of people, Nasr ibn ‘Imraan asked Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) about it. He advised him to disregard the objection of people and maintain his intention of Tamattu’, because the Prophet ﷺ ordered his Companions to do Tamattu’ in his farewell Hajj. Afterwards, Nasr related to Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) a dream wherein he saw a man say to him, “This is a Hajj-Mabroor and an accepted `Umrah,” and according to a different version of the hadeeth in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, it reads: “'Hajj-Mabroor and an accepted `Tamattu’” i.e., the man invoked Allah so that He accepts his Hajj and ‘Umrah. The meaning of Hajj Mabroor is the Hajj that is performed sincerely to Allah alone without being debased with ostentation and flaunting and is not performed using money from unlawful sources. The dream he was a glad tiding to inform him that his action is correct. The Prophet ﷺsaid: "Nothing is left of the prophetism except Al-Mubashshirat." They asked, "What are Al-Mubashshirat?" He replied, "The true good dreams that conveys glad tidings.” [agreed upon]. After he informed Ibn ‘Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) of his dream, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: You have done the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ (i.e., performing Tamattu’) then he asked him to stay over with him and offered him a share of his money because of the true dream he saw that corresponded with the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, which Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) upheld and advocated. This hadeeth highlights the cooperation and collaboration of the righteous predecessors on pious and good deeds, and that they acknowledged and praised whoever does good deeds. It shows that it is permissible to perform Tamattu’ of ‘Umrah with Hajj. From the other benefits we can conclude from this hadeeth is that we should honour the one who delivers good needs to us, and it shows that the scholar rejoices when he knows that his verdict matches the truth..
