“We went out with the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) when there were five nights left of Dhul-Qa’dah,intendingonly to perform Hajj. When we came close, the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ)ordered that whoever did not have a sacrificial animal,then he shouldexit the Ihram. So all the people exited Ihram, exceptthose who hadthe sacrificial animal. When the Day of Sacrifice i.e.,the 10th ofDhul-Hijjah) came, some beef was brought tous, and it was said: ‘TheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) has offered asacrifice on behalf of hiswives.’”

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) and his Companions came out to us and we entered Ihram forHajj.When we came to Makkah, he said: ‘Make your Hajj (to)‘Umrah.’ Thepeople said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we haveentered Ihram for Hajj,how can we make it ‘Umrah?’ He said:‘Look at what I command you todo, and do it.’ They repeatedtheir question and he got angry and wentaway. Then he entered upon‘Aishah angry and she saw anger in hisface, and said: ‘Who hasmade you angry? May Allah vex him!’ He said:‘Why should I notget angry, when I give a command and it is notobeyed?’”

“We went out with theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) in Ihram. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoeverhas a sacrificial animal with him, let him remain in Ihram. Whoeverdoes not have a sacrificial animal with him, let him exit Ihram.’Shesaid: ‘I did not have a sacrificial animal with me, so I exitedIhram,but Zubair had a sacrificial animal with him, so he did notexitIhram. So I put on my regular clothes and came to Zubair, and hesaid:‘Go away from me.’ I said: ‘Are you afraid I am going tojump onyou?!’”

“Isaid: ‘O Messenger of Allah, do you think that thiscancellation ofHajj and it being replaced with ‘Umrah is only for us,or for allpeople?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘No, it is onlyforus.’”

“Tamattu’ in Hajj was for theCompanions of Muhammad (ﷺ) specifically.”

“My father told me: ‘Isaid to ‘Aishah: “I do not think there is any sin on me if I donotperform Tawaf* between Safa and Marwah.” She said: “Allahsays:‘Verily, Safa and Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So itis not asin on him who performs Hajj or ‘Umrah of the House toperform Tawafbetween them.’” [2:158] If the matter were as yousay, then it wouldhave said, ‘it is not a sin on him to notperform the Sa’y betweenthem.’ Rather this was revealedconcerning some people among the Ansarwho previously, when theystated the Talbiyah, they used to recite itfor Manat, and it was notlawful for them to perform Sa’y between Safaand Marwah. When theyarrived with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Hajj, theymentioned that to him,and Allah revealed this Verse. By Allah, Allahwill not accept theHajj as complete if one who does not perform Sa’ybetween Safa andMarwah.’”

“I saw theMessenger ofAllah (ﷺ) performing Sa’y between Safa and Marwahsaying: ‘Thevalley should not be crossed except quickly.’”

“If I go quickly between SafaandMarwah, that is because I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) goingquickly, and if I walk that is because I saw the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) walking, even though I am an old man.”

“Hajj is Jihad and ‘Umrah is voluntary.”

“I heard ‘Abdullah bin Abu Awfa say: ‘We were withthe Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he performed ‘Umrah. He performedTawaf (around the Ka’bah) and we performed Tawaf with him. Heprayedand we prayed with him, and we were shielding him from thepeople ofMakkah lest anyone harm him.’”

It wasnarrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) didnotperform any ‘Umrah except in Dhul-Qa’dah.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) didnotperform any ‘Umrah except in Dhul-Qa’dah.”

“Ibn ‘Umar was asked: ‘In whichmonth did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform ‘Umrah?’ He said:‘InRajab.’ But ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)neverperformed ‘Umrah during Rajab, and he never performed ‘Umrah,but he(meaning Ibn ‘Umar) was with him.”

‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) told himto seat ‘Aishah behind him on his riding animal, and perform ‘Umrahwith her from Tan’im.

“We went out with the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) on the Farewell Pilgrimage, close to the time of thecrescent of Dhul-Hijjah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoeveramong you wants to begin the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah, let him do so. Ifitwere not for the fact that I have brought a sacrificial animalwithme, I would have began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah.’” Shesaid: “Some ofthe people began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah, and somebegan the Talbiyahfor Hajj. I was one of those who began theTalbiyah for ‘Umrah.” Shesaid: “We set out until we reachedMakkah, then the Day of ‘Arafahcame while I was in menses, but Idid not exit Ihram for ‘Umrah Icomplained about that to theProphet (ﷺ) and he said: ‘Leave your‘Umrah, undo your hair andcomb it, and begin the Talbiyah for Hajj.’”She said: “So I didthat, then on the night of Hasbah (i.e., thetwelfth night ofDhul-Hijjah), when Allah had enables us to completeour Hajj, he sent‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr with me.
