Volume 3, Book 27, Number 4:
Narrated Mujahid:
Ursa bin AzZubair and I entered the Mosque (of the Prophet) and saw ‘Abdullah bin Umar sitting
near the dwelling place of Aisha and some people were offering the Duha prayer. We asked him
about their prayer and he replied that it was a heresy. He (Ursa) then asked him how many times the
Prophet had performed ‘Umra. He replied, ‘Four times; one of them was in the month of Rajab.” We
disliked to contradict him. Then we heard ‘Aisha, the Mother of faithful believers cleaning her teeth
with Siwak in the dwelling place. ‘Ursa said, “O Mother! O Mother of the believers! Don’t you hear
what Abu ‘Abdur Rahman is saying?” She said, “What does he say?” ‘Ursa said, “He says that Allah’s
Apostle performed four ‘Umra and one of them was in the month of Rajab.” ‘Aisha said, “May Allah be
merciful to Abu ‘Abdur Rahman! The Prophet did not perform any ‘Umra except that he was with
him, and he never performed any ‘Umra in Rajab.”
