Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found
him at Al-Batha. He asked me, "With what intention have you assumed
Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umra or for both?") I replied, "I have
assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet." He asked,
"Have you a Hadi with you?" I replied in the negative. He ordered
me to perform Tawaf round the Ka'ba and between Safa and Marwa and then to
finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe who combed my
hair or washed my head. Then, when Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said,
"If we follow Allah's Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as
Allah says: "Perform the Hajj and Umra for Allah." (2.196). And if
we follow the tradition of the Prophet who did not finish his Ihram till he
sacrificed his Hadi."
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
companions of the Prophet obeyed the above (order) and some of them (i.e.
who did not have Hadi) finished 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
sanctuary 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."
