This law of Almighty Allah and the Holy Prophet has been issued for those who do not have enough time to perform both the Hajj and the `Umrah on separate times and for those who come from remote countries.” (Imam) `Ali started to join the Hajj and the `Umrah. After that, `Uthman directed towards the people and said, “Have I warned you against so? I have not, indeed.

I only said my own opinion, and you are free to accept or refuse.”[^5] In Malik ibn Anas’s book of al-Muwatta' , it is recorded that (Imam) Ja`far ibn Muhammad (al-Sadiq) has narrated on the authority of his father that al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, once, visited (Imam) `Ali ibn Abi-Talib, while he was kneading flour as food for his camels, and told him that `Uthman ibn `Affan had warned people against joining the Hajj with the `Umrah.

Immediately, (Imam) `Ali went out, without washing his hands from that flour, towards `Uthman ibn `Affan and said to him, “Have you really prevented people from joining the Hajj with the `Umrah?” “It has been only my own opinion,” answered `Uthman.

Then, (Imam) `Ali went out angrily and shouted out, “ Labbayka Allahumma labbayk ” as an indication of joining the Hajj with `Umrah.[^6] In al-Nassa'iy’s al-Sunan , it has been narrated that (Imam) `Ali and `Uthman ibn `Affan once performed the ritual Hajj on the same season. On their way to Makkah, `Uthman warned against joining the Hajj to the `Umrah.

During the rituals, (Imam `Ali) ordered his companions to declare joining the Hajj to the `Umrah once they would see `Uthman starting the rituals of the Hajj. When they did so, `Uthman did not prevent them. Hence, (Imam) `Ali said, “I have been informed that you prevented joining the Hajj to the `Umrah ( Tamattu` ).” “Yes, I did,” answered `Uthman.

(Imam) `Ali asked him, “Have you not heard that the Messenger of Allah joined the two?” “Yes, I have,” answered `Uthman.[^7] Commenting on the previous narration, al-Sindiy, as an annotation on al-Nassa'iy’s al-Sunan 5:152, says, “Imam `Ali ordered his companions to join the Hajj to the `Umrah so that `Uthman would realize that they preceded the Holy Prophet’s Sunnah to his personal judgment and that none would obey him so long as he violated the Holy Sunnah.”[^8] According to another form of the narration, Imam `Ali declared joining the Hajj to the `Umrah when he knew that `Uthman prohibited so.
