Ḥadīth 1

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الرَّجُلُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فَرِيضَةِ الْعُمْرَةِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if one performs al-‘Umrah in al-Tamattu £ form, he has completed the obligatory acts of an obligatory al- £ Umrah.”

Ḥadīth 2

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْعُمْرَةِ أَ وَاجِبَةٌ هِيَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about al- £ Umrah; if it is obligatory. He (the Imam) said, £ Yes, it is obligatory.’ I then asked, ‘If one is for al-Tamattu £ (advantageous) is it sufficient?’ He (the Imam) said, £ Yes, it is sufficient.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 2 of this Chapter)
