Sahih Muslim Hadith 2919

English

[2919] 120 – ( … ) It was narrated that 'Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her] said: "We set out with the Messenger of Allah not thinking of anything but Ijajj, until we came to Sarif, where my menses began. The Messenger of Allah entered upon me and found me weeping. He said: 'Why are you weeping?' I said: 'By Allah, I wish that I had not come out this year.' He said: 'What is the matter with you? Have your menses begun?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'This is something that Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam, – peace be upon him. Do what the pilgrims do, but do not circumambulate the House until you have purified yourself.' When I came to Makkah, the Messenger of Allah said to his Companions: 'Make it 'Umrah.' So the people exited 1,zrâm (after performing 'Umrah) except those who had sacrificial animals with them. The Prophet , AN Bakr, 'Umar and those who were well off had sacrificial animals with them. Then they entered Ihrâm for 'Umrah when they went to Mind. On the Day of Sacrifice my menses ended, and the Messenger of Allah told me to perform Tawaf Al-ifâçlah. Some beef was brought to us, and I said: 'What is this?' They said: 'The Messenger of Allah has sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives.' When it was the night of Al-Ijabah I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, the people are going back having performed Ijaff and 'Umrah, and I am going back having performed Ijaff (only).' So he told 'Abdur-Rahmân bin AbI Bakr to let me ride behind him on his camel. I remember that I was a young girl and I got sleepy and my face touched the back of the saddle. Then we came to At- Tan'Im where I entered Ihrâm for 'Umrah, to make up for the 'Umrah that the people had already done."
