Narrated Abu Jamra:

I asked Ibn `Abbas about Hajj-at-Tamattu`. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi (sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with the others." It seemed that some people disliked it (Hajj-at-Tamattu`). I slept and dreamt as if a person was announcing: "Hajj Mabrur and accepted Mut'ah (Hajj-at-Tamattu`)" I went to Ibn `Abbas and narrated it to him. He said, "Allah is Greater. (That was) the tradition of Abu Al-Qasim (i.e. Prophet). Narrated Shu`ba that the call in the dream was. "An accepted `Umra and Hajj-Mabrur. "

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ، فَأَمَرَنِي بِهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْهَدْىِ، فَقَالَ فِيهَا جَزُورٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ أَوْ شِرْكٌ فِي دَمٍ قَالَ وَكَأَنَّ نَاسًا كَرِهُوهَا، فَنِمْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ إِنْسَانًا يُنَادِي حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ، وَمُتْعَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ‏.‏ فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ سُنَّةُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ وَقَالَ آدَمُ وَوَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ وَغُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عُمْرَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ، وَحَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ‏.‏

The Hajj is the fifth pillar among the pillars of Islam, and the Prophet ﷺhas explained all the rites and rituals of Hajj both verbally and practically. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted them to us as they learned them from the Prophet ﷺ. In this hadeeth, the Taabi'ee, Aboo Jamrah, Nasr ibn 'Imraan ad-Duba'iee asked 'Abdullah ibn' Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the Tamattu' kind of Hajj – that is for the pilgrim to assume the state of Ihraam for 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, then, exit the Ihraam after completing the 'Umrah, then to enter the state of Ihraam for Hajj in its same year. Ibn' Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) permitted him to do that and informed him that it is valid. Then, he asked about the "Hady", , i.e.he asked about the rulings concerning the Hady and what is obligatory to do in its regard due to the statement of Allah Almighty, {Whoever performs 'Umrah [in Hajj months] followed by Hajj, [then, offers] what can be obtained with ease of the sacrificial animals (Hady).} [Quran 2:196]. The Hady is the name given to the animal that is brought to the Haram of Makkah and is sacrificed therein Ibn' Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied to him, "It is obligatory upon the one performing the Tamattu' to slaughter his sacrificial animal, i.e. a camel, cow or sheep or to participate with others in slaughtering, that is to join others in a portion of a big animal, a camel or a cow and the least share is the one-seventh of the big animal. Aboo Jamrah's statement, "As if the people disliked it," refers to the prohibition of 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) and 'Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) from performing Hajj al-Tamattu'. They used to command people to perform Hajj only within one journey and 'Umrah in a separate journey to allow more visitors to the Sacred House, not because Hajj al-Tamattu' is prohibited [according to them]. It is reported that Aboo Moosaa asked 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning it. To which 'Umar replied, "I know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺdid it; however, I disliked that they spend the night comfortably with them (their wives) under the arak trees, then they proceed to Hajj whilst their heads are dripping with water." [Sunan al-Nasaa'iee]. That is to mean; I disliked Hajj al-Tamattu' since it requires exiting the Ihraam and becoming able to enjoy that which was prohibited for him during his state of Ihraam, including engaging in sexual intercourse during the period leading to Hajj. Afterwards, Aboo Jamrah went to sleep and saw in his dream a person proclaiming to him saying, "Hajj Mabroor wa Mut'ah Mutaqabbalah or 'Umrah Mutaqabbalah wa Hajj Mabroor (Your Hajj has been righteously accepted and your Hajj al-Tamattu' has also been accepted). Hajj Mabroor is a Hajj that is performed only for the sake of Allah and is accepted in His sight due to its being sincere and pure from showing off, achieving fame, and using the prohibited wealth for it. The reward for this Hajj before Allah is Paradise. Aboo Jamrah mentioned this dream to Ibn' Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him). Ibn' Abbaas became delighted to hear that and said, "Allah is the Greatest! It is the Sunnah of Aboo al-Qaasim.” Meaning: This is the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺand his way which he explained and clarified. This is only a way of attaining more assurance and comfort from the good dreams since neither Islamic rulings nor worldly transactions can be based on dreams. This is because dreams cannot be confirmed as definite or act as proof. Not to mention, there is no textual evidence to indicate that it is obligatory to submit to and act upon the dreams and their interpretations. This applies to all cases whether one dreams of the Messenger ﷺor somebody else; however, one can derive satisfaction and comfort thereby, irrelevant whether that dream pertains to the dreamer or someone else with whom he has a relationship. This is due to the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: "There are three kinds of dreams: the whispers of the self, an instilment of fear from the Satan, and a glad tiding from Allah." [agreed upon]. Moreover, good dreams are part of the forty-sixth parts of prophethood, as mentioned in the two Saheeh Books. This hadeeth demonstrates the permissibility of performing Hajj al-Tamattu' (benefiting from performing 'Umrah) in the months of Hajj. It shows that people can share the same Hady of camels and cows. It shows the happiness of a scholar when finding out that his statement coincides with the truth..
