In the last Hajj of Allah’s Apostle I assume the Ihram for Hajj along with Allah Apostle. I was one of
those who intended Tamattu’ (to perform Hajj an ‘Umra) and did not take the Hadi (animal for sacri –
fice) with me. I got my menses and was not clean till the night of ‘Arafa I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! It is
the night of the day of ‘Arafat and I intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu’ with ‘Umra Allah’s Apostle
told me to undo my hair and comb it and to postpone the ‘Umra. I did the same and completed the
Hajj. On the night of Al-Hasba (i.e. place outside Mecca where the pilgrims go after finishing all the
ceremonies Hajj at Mina) he (the Prophet ordered ‘Abdur Rahman (‘Aisha’s brother) to take me to At-
Tan’im to assume the lhram for’Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-atTamattu’ which I had intended to per –

Narrated ‘Aisha:
On the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. Allah’s Apostle said,
“Any one who likes to assume the Ihram for ‘Umra he can do so. Had I not brought the Hadi with me,
I would have assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra. “Some of us assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra while the oth –
ers assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I was one of those who assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra. I got menses
and kept on menstruating until the day of ‘Arafat and complained of that to the Prophet . He told me
to postpone my ‘Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to assure the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the
right of Hasba, he sent my brother ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to At-Tah’im, where I as –
sumed the Ihram for’Umra in lieu of the previous one. Hisham said, “For that (‘Umra) no Hadi, fasting
or alms were required.
