Sahih al-Bukhari 3832 (Book 63, Hadith 57) #3660
Performing 'Umra in the Months of Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja, but he ordered them to perform 'Umra instead.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The people used to consider the performance of 'Umra in the months of Hajj an evil deed on the earth, and they used to call the month of Muharram as Safar and used to say, "When (the wounds over) the backs (of the camels) have healed and the foot-marks (of the camels) have vanished (after coming from Hajj), then 'Umra becomes legal for the one who wants to perform 'Umra". Allah's Messenger and his companions reached Mecca assuming Ihram for Hajj on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet ordered his companions to perform 'Umra (with that Ihram instead of Hajj). They asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of finishing of Ihram?" The Prophet said, "Finish the Ihram completely'.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحَجِّ مِنَ الْفُجُورِ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَكَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ الْمُحَرَّمَ صَفَرًا وَيَقُولُونَ إِذَا بَرَا الدَّبَرْ، وَعَفَا الأَثَرْ، حَلَّتِ الْعُمْرَةُ لِمَنِ اعْتَمَرْ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ رَابِعَةً مُهِلِّينَ بِالْحَجِّ وَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَىُّ الْحِلِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْحِلُّ كُلُّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about performing an Umrah during the months of Hajj. Before this hadith was revealed, people used to consider it a bad deed to do so. However, when Prophet Muhammad and his companions reached Mecca assuming Ihram for Hajj on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja, he ordered them to perform an Umrah instead. They asked him what kind of finishing of Ihram they should do and he said that they should finish it completely. This teaches us that we should not be quick to judge something as bad without knowing all the facts first and that we must always follow Allah's orders even if it goes against our own beliefs or opinions.
