Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #54667

Sahl bin Hammad narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, Qais bin Muslim narrated to us, on the authority of Tariq, on the authority of Abu Musa, he said: I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. When he performed Hajj while he was wearing a bathtub, he said to me: “Did you perform Hajj?” I said: Yes. He said: “How did you perform halalah?” He said: I said: At your service With a crescent like the crescent of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said: “You have done well. Go and circumambulate the Ka’bah, and Safa and Marwah, then he came back.” He said: So I walked around the House, and around Safa and Marwah, then I came to a woman from the women of Banu Qays and she began to bow my head, so I began to give fatwas to the people. With that, a man said to me: O Abdullah bin Qais, take some of your youth, for you do not know what the Commander of the Faithful did regarding rituals after you. So I said: O people, whoever we have given a fatwa to, let him be patient, for the Commander of the Faithful is coming to you, so follow him. When I went to him and mentioned that to him, so he said: If we follow the Book of God, for the Book of God commands completion, and if we follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of God May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, did not come to him until the sacrificial animal reached its place.
