Sahih Muslim 1229e (Book 15, Hadith 196) #10131
Taking Off Ihram During Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded his wives to take off their Ihram during the year of Hajj, but he himself was unable to do so due to having stuck his hair and driven a sacrificial animal with men.

Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) said that Allah's Apostle commanded his wives that they should put off Ihram during the year of Hajj (at-ul-Wada'). whereupon she (Hafsa) said: What hinders you that you have not put off Ihram? Thereupon he said: I have stuck my hair and driven my sacrificial animal along with men and it is not permissible to put off Ihram (under this condition until I have sacrificed the animal.
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أَمَرَ أَزْوَاجَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِلْنَ عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ فَقُلْتُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَحِلَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي لَبَّدْتُ رَأْسِي وَقَلَّدْتُ هَدْيِي فَلاَ أَحِلُّ حَتَّى أَنْحَرَ هَدْيِي

QUICK LESSONS:
Obey Allah's commands even if it means sacrificing something you may have wanted or planned for yourself; Respect when making pilgrimage as part of faith; Strive for piety.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Hafsa bint Umar ibn al-Khattab tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded his wives to take off their Ihram during the year of Hajj, which is a pilgrimage made by Muslims in order to visit holy sites in Mecca. However, due to having stuck his hair and driven a sacrificial animal with men, he was unable to do so until he had sacrificed the animal. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for piety and obedience towards Allah's commands even if it means sacrificing something we may have wanted or planned for ourselves. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to make pilgrimage as part of their faith and how much respect they should have when doing so.
