Volume 2, Book 26, Number 632:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
‘ Aisha said, We went out with the Prophet (from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj
only and when we reached Mecca we performed Tawaf round the Kaba and then the Prophet
ordered those who had not driven the Hadi along with them to finish their Ihram. So the people who
had not driven the Hadi along with them finished their Ihram. The Prophet’s wives, too, had not
driven the Hadi with them, so they too, finished their Ihram.” ‘Aisha added, “I got my menses and
could not perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba.” So when it was the night of Hasba (i.e. when we stopped
at Al-Muhassab), I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Everyone is returning after performing Hajj and ‘Umra
but I am returning after performing Hajj only.’ He said, ‘Didn’t you perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba

the night we reached Mecca?’ I replied in the negative. He said, ‘Go with your brother to Tan’im and
assume the Ihram for’Umra, (and after performing it) come back to such and such a place.’ On that
Safiya said, ‘I feel that I will detain you all.’ The Prophet said, ‘O ‘Aqra Halqa! Didn’t you perform
Tawaf of the Ka’ba on the day of sacrifice? (i.e. Tawaf-al-ifada) Safiya replied in the affirmative. He
said, (to Safiya). ‘There is no harm for you to proceed on with us.’ ” ‘Aisha added, “(after returning
from ‘Umra), the Prophet met me while he was ascending (from Mecca) and I was descending to it,
or I was ascending and he was descending.”
