Sunan Abi Dawud 1807 (Book 11, Hadith 87) #22099
Cancellation of Hajj for 'Umrah

SUMMARY: Making the intention of Hajj and then cancelling it for 'Umrah is not valid, especially for those who accompanied the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Abu Dharr used to say about a person who makes the intention of Hajj but he repeal it for the 'Umrah (that will not be valid). This cancellation of hajj for 'Umrah was specially meant for the people who accompanied the Apostle of Allaah.
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ السَّرِيِّ - عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ سَلِيمِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِيمَنْ حَجَّ ثُمَّ فَسَخَهَا بِعُمْرَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ لِلرَّكْبِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
