حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ الْعُمْرَةَ فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحَجِّ مِنْ أَفْجَرِ الْفُجُورِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَيَجْعَلُونَ الْمُحَرَّمَ صَفَرًا وَيَقُولُونَ إِذَا بَرَأَ الدَّبَرْ وَعَفَا الْأَثَرْ وَانْسَلَخَ صَفَرْ حَلَّتْ الْعُمْرَةُ لِمَنْ ا
عْتَمَرْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ لِصَبِيحَةِ رَابِعَةٍ مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً فَتَعَاظَمَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْحِلِّ قَالَ الْحِلُّ كُلُّهُ وَفِي كِتَابِهِ لِصُبْحٍ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Wuhayb narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn Tawus narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) who said: They used to consider performing 'Umrah during the months of Hajj to be among the worst of sins on earth. They would make Muharram into Safar and say: "When the camel's wounds have healed, the tracks have faded, and Safar has ended, then 'Umrah is permitted for whoever wishes to perform it." When the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions arrived on the morning of the fourth day having entered ihram for Hajj, he ordered them to convert it into an 'Umrah. This was very difficult for them, and they said: "O Messenger of Allah, what degree of release from ihram?" He said: "Complete release."
