Home Hadith Hadith 1505
The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) who did not finish his Ihram
till he sacrificed his Hadi."

`Ali came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) from Yemen (to Mecca). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked `Ali, "With what
intention have you assumed Ihram?" `Ali replied, "I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as
that of the Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I had not the Hadi with me I would have finished the
Ihram." Muhammad bin Bakr narrated extra from Ibn Juraij, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said to `Ali, "With what
intention have you assumed the Ihram, O `Ali?" He replied, "With the same (intention) as that of the
Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have a Hadi and keep your Ihram as it is."

' Aisha said, "We set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) obeyed the above (order) and some of them (i.e. who did not have Hadi)
finished their Ihram after Umra." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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.''
