Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا حَضَرُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَبَعَثَ بِالْهَدْيِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنَّا أَحْرَمَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ
English Translation
Hujayn and Yunus narrated to us, they said: al-Layth ibn Sa'd narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir (رضي الله عنه) — that when they were present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Madinah and he sent the sacrificial animal [to Makkah], whoever wished among them entered ihram and whoever wished did not. They did not enter ihram [simply] because the Prophet ﷺ had sent the sacrificial animal.
