It is narrated from Sulaiman ibn Dawood al-Minqari, from Fudhayl ibn Iyadh, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, in the conclusion of a narration where he said: "It was called the Greater Pilgrimage (Hajj al-Akbar) because it was the year in which both Muslims and polytheists performed Hajj, and after that year, the polytheists no longer performed Hajj."
