Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When five days were left in the end of Dhu al-Qi'dah, we set out with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered that whoever had performed the Tawaf of the House of Allah should come out of Ihram, except for the one who had a sacrificial animal with him. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Beef came to us, so I inquired: Where did this come from? People informed: The Messenger of Allah has slaughtered (a cow) on behalf of his wives.
