“He once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous). He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ It happened that he (the Imam) that year or next year performed Mufrid kind of al-Hajj and I asked him saying , ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, I asked you about al-Hajj and you instructed me to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); and I see you perform Mufrid kind of al-Hajj.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘By Allah, goodness is in the kind of al-Hajj I told you to perform. I however, have become weak and performing Tawaf twice between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah, thus, I made it Mufrid kind of al-Hajj.’”
