Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform 'Umrah, so he granted it and said, "Do not forget us, my brother, in your supplication." It is also narrated in the Musnad that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "My close friend commanded me not to ask people for anything." How do we reconcile the two narrations in terms of meaning?
Answer:
We reconcile the two narrations by understanding that the Messenger intended to clarify the permissibility, to clarify that this is permissible, but leaving it is better. Yes.
