قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي اعْتَمَرْتُ فِي رَجَبٍ وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ أَ فَأَسُوقُ الْهَدْيَ وَ أُفْرِدُ الْحَجَّ أَوْ أَتَمَتَّعُ فَقَالَ فِي كُلٍّ فَضْلٌ وَ كُلٌّ حَسَنٌ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ عُمْرَتَهُ عِرَاقِيَّةٌ وَ حَجَّتَهُ مَكِّيَّةٌ كَذَبُوا أَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ مُرْتَبِطاً بِحَجِّهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ لِلَيْلَةٍ أَوْ لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ تَبْقَيَانِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَتَقُولُ أُمُّ فَرْوَةَ أَيْ أَبَهْ إِنَّ عُمْرَتَنَا شَعْبَانِيَّةٌ وَ أَقُولُ لَهَا أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ إِنَّهَا فِيمَا أَهْلَلْتُ وَ لَيْسَتْ فِيمَا أَحْلَلْتُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umery, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I performed Umra during Rajab, and I am intending the Hajj, so shall I usher the sacrificial animal, and perform the exclusive Hajj, or shall I perform <span class="iTxt">Tamatto </span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is merit in each, and they are all good’. I said, ‘So which of that is superior?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span>. It is, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, superior’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people of Makka are saying that its Umra is Iraqi, and its Hajj is Makkan. They are lying! Or is it not so that is it linked with his Hajj? He cannot come out from it until he fulfils it’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> used to go out with a night or two nights remaining from Rajab, so Umm Farwa was saying: ‘Father<sup>asws</sup>! Our Umra is in Shabaan’, and I<sup>asws</sup> was saying to her: ‘Yes, my<sup>asws</sup> daughter! It is in what I<sup>asws</sup> would begin, and would not be in what I<sup>asws</sup> am free (from <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>)’.
