Jabir bin Abdullah (RA) reported: We entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the state of Ihram for Hajj. When we came to Makkah he commanded us to put off Ihram and make it for Umrah. We felt it (the command) hard for us, and our hearts were anguished on account of this and it (this reaction of the people) reached the Apostle of Allah ﷺ . We do not know whether he received (this news) from the Heaven (through revelation) or from the people. (Whatever the case might be) he said; O people, put off Ihram. If there were not the sacrificial animals with me, I would have done as you do. So we put off the Ihram (after performing Umrah), and we had intercourse with our wives and did everything which a non-Muhrim does (applying perfume, putting on clothes, etc.), and when it was the day of Tarwiya (8th of Dhul-Hijja) we turned our back to Makkah (in order to go to Mina, Arafat) and we put on Ihram for Hajj.
