Sahih Muslim 1216b (Book 15, Hadith 153) #10088
Making Hajj Easier

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions entering Mecca in a state of Ihram for Hajj. When they were commanded to put off Ihram and make it for 'Umra, they felt it hard but the Prophet (PBUH) told them that if he did not have sacrificial animals with him, he would have done as they do.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported: We entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the state of Ihram for Hajj. When we came to Mecca he commanded us to put off Ihram and make it for 'Umra. 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 Messenger 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 Umra), 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 Dhu'l-Hijja) we turned our back to Mecca (in order to go to Mini, 'Arafat) and we put on Ihram for Hajj.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ وَنَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَضَاقَتْ بِهِ صُدُورُنَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَا نَدْرِي أَشَىْءٌ بَلَغَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْ شَىْءٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَحِلُّوا فَلَوْلاَ الْهَدْىُ الَّذِي مَعِي فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلْتُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَحْلَلْنَا حَتَّى وَطِئْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَفَعَلْنَا مَا يَفْعَلُ الْحَلاَلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَجَعَلْنَا مَكَّةَ بِظَهْرٍ أَهْلَلْنَا بِالْحَجِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's journey to Mecca with his companions in a state of Ihram for Hajj. When they were commanded to put off their Ihrams and make it for 'Umra instead, some of them felt it hard but the Prophet reassured them that if he did not have sacrificial animals with him at that time then he would have done as they do. This hadith teaches us that we should always be willing to accept Allah's commands even if we don't understand why He has asked us to do something or why something has been made obligatory on us. We should also remember that Allah knows what is best for us and He will never ask us to do anything without good reason. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us patience and perseverance when faced with difficult situations because even though the companions felt hard about putting off their Ihrams initially, they still followed Allah's command without any hesitation or complaint.
