Narrated Al-Aswad:
Abdullah the slave of Asma bint Abu Bakr, told me that he used to hear Asma’, whenever she
passed by Al-Hajun, saying, “May Allah bless His Apostle Muhammad. Once we dismounted here
with him, and at that time we were traveling with light luggage; we had a few riding animals and a
little food ration. I, my sister, ‘Aisha, Az-Zubair and such and such persons performed ‘Umra, and
when we had passed our hands over the Ka’ba (i.e. performed Tawaf round the Ka’ba and between
As-Safa and Al-Marwa) we finished our lhram. Later on we assumed Ihram for Hajj the same even –
ing.”
Volume 3, Book 27, Number 23:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle returned from a Ghazwa, Hajj or ‘Umra, he used to say Takbir thrice at
every elevation of the ground and then would say, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah;
He is One and has no partner. All the kingdoms is for Him, and all the praises are for Him, and He is
Omnipotent. We are returning with repentance, worshipping, prostrating, and praising our Lord. He
has kept up His promise and made His slave victorious, and He Alone defeated all the clans of (non-
believers).”

Narrated Ata:
I heard Ibn ‘Abbas saying, “Allah’s Apostle asked an Ansari woman (Ibn ‘Abbas named her but ‘Ata’
forgot her name), ‘What prevented you from performing Hajj with us?’ She replied, ‘We have a
camel and the father of so-and-so and his son (i.e. her husband and her son) rode it and left one
camel for us to use for irrigation.’ He said (to her), ‘Perform ‘Umra when Ramadan comes, for ‘Umra
in Ramadan is equal to Hajj (in reward),’ or said something similar.”
Volume 3, Book 27, Number 11:
Narrated Aisha:
We set out along with Allah’s Apostle shortly before the appearance of the new moon (crescent) of
the month of Dhi-l-Hijja and he said to us, “Whoever wants to assume Ihram for Hajj may do so; and
whoever wants to assume Ihram for ‘Umra may do so. Hadn’t I brought the Hadi (animal for sacrifi –
cing) (with me), I would have assumed Ihram for ‘Umra.” (‘Aisha added,): So some of us assumed
Ihram for ‘Umra while the others for Hajj. I was amongst those who assumed Ihram for ‘Umra. The
day of ‘Arafat approached and I was still menstruating. I complained to the Prophet (about that) and
he said, “Abandon your ‘Umra, undo and comb your hair, and assume Ihram for Hajj;.” When it was
the night of Hasba, he sent ‘Abdur Rahman with me to At-Tan’im and I assumed Ihram for ‘Umra
(and performed it) in lieu of my missed ‘Umra.
Volume 3, Book 27, Number 12:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Aus:
Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr told me that the Prophet had ordered him to let ‘Aisha ride behind
him and to make he perform ‘Umra from At-Tan’im.
Volume 3, Book 27, Number 13:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet and Talha
had the Hadi with them. ‘Ali had come from Yemen and he had the Hadi with him. He (‘Ali) said, “I
have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of Allah’s Apostle has assumed it.” The Prophet
ordered his companions to intend the Ihram with which they had come for ‘Umra, to perform the
Tawaf of the Ka’ba (and between Safa and Marwa), to get their hair cut short and then to finish their
Ihram with the exception of those who had the Hadi with them. They asked, “Shall we go to Mina
and the private organs of some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihram and have sexual relations with
our wives)?” The Prophet heard that and said, “Had I known what I know now, I would not have

brought the Hadi. If I did not have the Hadi with me I would have finished my Ihram.” ‘Aisha got her
menses and performed all the ceremonies (of Hajj) except the Tawaf . So when she became clean
from her menses, and she had performed the Tawaf of the Ka’ba, she said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You
(people) are returning with both Hajj and ‘Umra and I am returning only with Hajj!” So, he ordered
‘Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr to go with her to At-Tan’im. Thus she performed ‘Umra after the Hajj
in the month of Dhi-l-Hijja. Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju’sham met the Prophet at Al-‘Aqaba (Jamrat-ul
‘Aqaba) while the latter was stoning it and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is this permissible only for you?”
The Prophet replied, “No, it is for ever (i.e. it is permissible for all Muslims to perform ‘Umra before
Hajj.”
