١٥ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنِّي اعْتَمَرْتُ فِي رَجَبٍ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ أَ فَأَسُوقُ الْهَدْيَ وَأُفْرِدُ الْحَجَّ أَوْ أَتَمَتَّعُ فَقَالَ فِي كُلٍّ فَضْلٌ وَكُلٌّ حَسَنٌ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ هُوَ وَالله أَفْضَلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ عُمْرَتَهُ عِرَاقِيَّةٌ وَحَجَّتَهُ مَكِّيَّةٌ كَذَبُوا أَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ مُرْتَبِطاً بِحَجِّهِ لا يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ لِلَيْلَةٍ أَوْ لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ تَبْقَيَانِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَتَقُولُ أُمُّ فَرْوَةَ أَيْ أَبَهْ إِنَّ عُمْرَتَنَا شَعْبَانِيَّةٌ وَأَقُولُ لَهَا أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ إِنَّهَا فِيمَا أَهْلَلْتُ وَلَيْسَتْ فِيمَا أَحْلَلْتُ.
15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about my performing al-‘Umrah in the month of Rajab and that I wanted to perform al-Hajj, if driving the offering animal and Mufrid al-Hajj was better or al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘In each one there is goodness and beauty.’ I then asked, ‘Which one is more virtuous?’ He (the Imam) said that ‘Al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) by Allah is more virtuous.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘People of Makkah say that his al-‘Umrah is Iraqiy and his al-Hajj is Makkiy. They by Allah speak a lie. Is not al-‘Umrah related to his al-Hajj from which he cannot come out unless he completes them all?’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘I used to go for al-‘Umrah one or two nights before the end of the month of Rajab and ‘Umm Farwah would say, “O father, our al-‘Umrah is in the month of al-Sha‘ban.” I would say, “My daughter it will be of the time when I commence not of the time when I will come out of the state of Ihram.’””
