It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with her) that her husband had dedicated a camel to the path of Allah (for jihad). She intended to perform Umrah, so she asked her husband for that camel, but he refused to give it. Then she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the whole matter, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded her husband to give her the camel, and said: "Indeed, Hajj and Umrah too are among (the works of) the path of Allah, and performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to a Hajj," or he said: "It takes the place of a Hajj." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
