Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ جَاءَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَقَدْ ضَفَرَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِّي قَدِمْتُ بِعُمْرَةٍ مُفْرَدَةٍ . فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ كُنْتُ مَعَكَ أَوْ سَأَلْتَنِي لأَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَقْرِنَ . فَقَالَ الْيَمَانِيُّ قَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ خُذْ مَا تَطَايَرَ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ وَأَهْدِ . فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ مَا هَدْيُهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ هَدْيُهُ . فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مَا هَدْيُهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً لَكَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَصُومَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sadaqa ibn Yasar al-Makki
that a man from the people of Yemen, who had his hair braided, came to
Abdullah ibn Umar and said, "Abu Abd arRahman, I have come to do just
umra. ''Abdullah ibn Umar said to him, "If I had been with you or you
had asked me I would have told you to do hajj and umra together." The
Yemeni answered, "I am doing what I am doing," and Abdullah ibn Umar
said to him, "Cut off the locks that are hanging from your head and
offer a sacrificial animal." A woman from Iraq said, "What should his
sacrificial animal be, Abu Abd ar-Rahman?" and he said, "His
sacrificial animal?" and she said to him, "What should his sacrificial
animal be?" Abdullah ibn Umar said, "If I could only find a sheep to
sacrifice, I would prefer to do that than to fast."
