‘Aisha said, “We set out with the Prophet in his last Hajj. Some of us intended to perform ‘Umra
while others Hajj. When we reached Mecca, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Those who had assumed the lhram
for’Umra and had not brought the Hadi should finish his lhram and whoever had assumed the
Ihram for ‘Umra and brought the Hadi should not finish the Ihram till he has slaughtered his Hadi
and whoever had assumed the lhram for Hajj should complete his Hajj.” ‘Aisha further said, “I got my
periods (menses) and kept on menstruating till the day of ‘Arafat, and I had assumed the Ihram for
‘Umra only (Tamattu’). The Prophet ordered me to undo and comb my head hair and assume the
lhram for Hajj only and leave the ‘Umra. I did the same till I completed the Hajj. Then the Prophet
sent ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me and ordered me to perform ‘Umra from At-Tan’im in lieu
of the missed ‘Umra.”
