Volume 2, Book 26, Number 631:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
‘ Aisha said, “We set out with Allah’s Apostles in the months of Hajj, and (in) the nights of Hajj, and
at the time and places of Hajj and in a state of Hajj. We dismounted at Sarif (a village six miles from
Mecca). The Prophet then addressed his companions and said, “Anyone who has not got the Hadi and
likes to do Umra instead of Hajj may do so (i.e. Hajj-al-Tamattu) and anyone who has got the Hadi
should not finish the Ihram after performing ‘ Umra). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). Aisha added, “The com –
panions of the Prophet obeyed the above (order) and some of them (i.e. who did not have Hadi) fin –
ished their Ihram after Umra.” Allah’s Apostle and some of his companions were resourceful and had
the Hadi with them, they could not perform Umra (alone) (but had to perform both Hajj and Umra
with one Ihram). Aisha added, “Allah’s Apostle came to me and saw me weeping and said, “What
makes you weep, O Hantah?” I replied, “I have heard your conversation with your companions and I
cannot perform the Umra.” He asked, “What is wrong with you?’ I replied, ‘ I do not offer the prayers
(i.e. I have my menses).’ He said, ‘ It will not harm you for you are one of the daughters of Adam, and
Allah has written for you (this state) as He has written it for them. Keep on with your intentions for
Hajj and Allah may reward you that.” Aisha further added, “Then we proceeded for Hajj till we
reached Mina and I became clean from my menses. Then I went out from Mina and performed
Tawaf round the Ka’ba.” Aisha added, “I went along with the Prophet in his final departure (from
Hajj) till he dismounted at Al-Muhassab (a valley outside Mecca), and we too, dismounted with him.”
He called ‘ Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr and said to him, ‘ Take your sister outside the sanctuary of
Mecca and let her assume Ihram for ‘ Umra, and when you had finished ‘ Umra, return to this place
and I will wait for you both till you both return to me.’ ” ‘ Aisha added, ‘ ‘ So we went out of the sanc –
tuary of Mecca and after finishing from the ‘ Umra and the Tawaf we returned to the Prophet at
dawn. He said, ‘Have you performed the ‘ Umra?’ We replied in the affirmative. So he announced the
departure amongst his companions and the people set out for the journey, and the Prophet: too left
for Medina.”
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.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 633:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
We set out with Allah’s Apostles (to Mecca) in the year of the Prophet’s Last Hajj. Some of us had
assumed Ihram for ‘Umra only, some for both Hajj and ‘Umra, and others for Hajj only. Allah’s
Apostle assumed Ihram for Hajj. So whoever had assumed Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and ‘Umra
did not finish the Ihram till the day of sacrifice. (See Hadith No. 631, 636, and 639).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 634:
Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam:
I saw ‘Uthman and ‘Ali. ‘Uthman used to forbid people to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu’ and Hajj-al-
Qiran (Hajj and ‘Umra together), and when ‘Ali saw (this act of ‘Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj
and ‘Umra together saying, “Lubbaik for ‘Umra and Hajj,” and said, “I will not leave the tradition of
the Prophet on the saying of somebody.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 635:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The people (of the Pre-lslamic Period) used to think that to perform ‘Umra during the months of
Hajj was one of the major sins on earth. And also used to consider the month of Safar as a forbidden
(i.e. sacred) month and they used to say, “When the wounds of the camel’s back heal up (after they
return from Hajj) and the signs of those wounds vanish and the month of Safar passes away then (at
that time) ‘Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it.” In the morning of the 4th of
Dhul-Hijja, the Prophet and his companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he
ordered his companions to make their intentions of the Ihram for’Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they
considered his order as something great and were puzzled, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What kind
(of finishing) of Ihram is allowed?” The Prophet replied, “Finish the Ihram completely like a non-
Muhrim (you are allowed everything).”

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 636:
Narrated Abu Musa:
came to the Prophet (from Yemen and was assuming Ihram for Hajj) and he ordered me to finish
the Ihram (after performing the ‘Umra).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 637:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Hafsa the wife of the Prophet said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why have the people finished their Ihram
after performing ‘Umra but you have not finished your Ihram after performing ‘Umra?” He replied, “I
have matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I have slaughtered
(my Hadi). “
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 638:
Narrated Shu’ba:
Abu Jamra Nasr bin ‘Imran Ad-Duba’i said, “I intended to perform Hajj-at-Tamattu’ and the
people advised me not to do so. I asked Ibn Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to perform Hajj-
at-Tammatu’. Later I saw in a dream someone saying to me, ‘Hajj-Mabrur (Hajj performed in ac –
cordance with the Prophet’s tradition without committing sins and accepted by Allah) and an accep –
ted ‘Umra.’ So I told that dream to Ibn Abbas. He said, ‘This is the tradition of Abu-l-Qasim.’ Then he
said to me, ‘Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of my property.’ ” I (Shu’ba) asked, “Why (did
he invite you)?” He (Abu Jamra) said, “Because of the dream which I had seen.”
