Musnad Ahmad Hadith 5939

Abdullah bin Badr says that he set out for Hajj with a group of his companions. Upon reaching Makkah Mukarramah, they entered the Sacred Mosque, touched the Black Stone, then performed Tawaf around the House of Allah, and prayed two rak'ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim. Suddenly, a man of heavy stature, wrapped in a sheet and lower garment, was seen calling us from near the pool. We went to him. I asked people about him, and found out that he was Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). When we reached him, he asked, "Who are you people?" We said, "People of the East, then of Yamamah." He asked, "Have you come for Hajj or for Umrah?" We replied, "We have come with the intention of Hajj." He said, "You have completed your Hajj." I said, "I have performed Hajj many times before this, and every time I have done it in this way." Then we returned to our place, until Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) arrived. I mentioned the whole incident before Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and also mentioned the fatwa of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that you have completed your Hajj. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "I advise you in the name of Allah, tell me, did you set out with the intention of Hajj?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "By Allah! The Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also performed Hajj, and all of them did it in the same way as you have done."
