باب جَوَازِ الإِقَامَةِ بِمَكَّةَ لِلْمُهَاجِرِ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ فَرَاغِ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بِلاَ زِيَادَةٍ

Sahih Muslim 1352a
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، يَسْأَلُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يَقُولُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي الإِقَامَةِ، بِمَكَّةَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ السَّائِبُ سَمِعْتُ الْعَلاَءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا ‏.‏
"‏ لِلْمُهَاجِرِ إِقَامَةُ ثَلاَثٍ بَعْدَ الصَّدَرِ بِمَكَّةَ ‏"
Al-'Ali' b. al-Hadrami reported Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon as saying:

For a Mahijir, it is only three (days') stay at Mecca, after completing (the Hajj or 'Umra) that is allowed, and it seemed as if he was saying that he should not (stay) beyond this (period).
