5ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِي وَجْهَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَجِّ يَقُولُ بَعْضٌ أَحْرِمْ بِالْحَجِّ مُفْرِداً فَإِذَا طُفْتَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَيْتَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَأَحِلَّ وَاجْعَلْهَا عُمْرَةً وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ أَحْرِمْ وَانْوِ الْمُتْعَةَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ أَيُّ هَذَيْنِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ انْوِ الْمُتْعَةَ.
5. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan 
, our people disagree about two kinds of al-Hajj. Certain ones among them say to assume the state of Ihram for al-Mufrid Hajj and after performing Tawaf around the House and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, come out of the state of Ihram and make it an al-‘Umrah. Others say to assume the state of Ihram for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) with al-‘Umrah for al-Hajj. Which one is more desirable to you? He (the Imam) said, ‘(I prefer) if you decide for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).”’
