The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1137 (#Ḥadīth #9)

9ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِيءُ مُعْتَمِراً عُمْرَةَ رَجَبٍ فَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ هِلالُ شَعْبَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ الْوَقْتَ أَ يُحْرِمُ قَبْلَ الْوَقْتِ وَيَجْعَلُهَا لِرَجَبٍ أَوْ يُؤَخِّرُ الإِحْرَامَ إِلَى الْعَقِيقِ وَيَجْعَلُهَا لِشَعْبَانَ قَالَ يُحْرِمُ قَبْلَ الْوَقْتِ فَيَكُونُ لِرَجَبٍ لأَنَّ لِرَجَبٍ فَضْلَهُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي نَوَى.

9. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan , about a man who travels for al-‘Umrah in the month of Rajab. It becomes the month of al-Sha‘ban before his reaching the Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram); should he assume the state of Ihram before Miqat, to make it al-‘Umrah of Rajab, or delay it until his reaching al-‘Aqiq and make it al-‘Umrah of the month of al-Sha‘ban? He (the Imam) said, ‘He can assume the state of Ihram, before Miqat, for al-‘Umrah of Rajab because Rajab has its virtue and that is what he had intended.’”
