'Ataa reported that 'Urwa bin Zubair (RA) had informed him (this): I and Ibn 'Umar were reclining against the (wall) of the apartment of A'isha and we were listening to the sound produced by the brushing of her teeth. I said Abu Abdul Rahman (the kunya of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA)), did Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) perform 'Umrah in the month of Rajab? He said: Yes. I said to 'A'isha: Mother, are you listening to what Abu Abdul Rabman is saying? She said: What is he saying? I said: He is saying that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed 'Umrah during the month of Rajab, whereupon she said: May Allah grant pardon to Abu Abdul Rahman. By my life he (the Holy Prophet) did not perform 'Umrah during the month of Rajab. And never was there an 'Umrah performed by him (the Holy Prophet) in which he ('Abdullah bin 'Umar) did not join him. Ibn 'Umar heard this and said nothing to affirm it or to deny it, but kept quiet.

Mujahid reported: I and 'Urwa bin Zubair entered the mosque and there found 'Abdullah bin 'Umar sitting near the apartment of A'isha and the people were observing the forenoon prayer (when the sun had sufficiently risen). We asked him about their prayer, and he said: It is bid'a (innovation), Urwa said to him: Abdul Rahman, how many 'Umrahs had Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed? He said: Four 'Umrahs, one he performed during the month of Rajab. We were reluctant either to belie him or reject him. We heard the noise of brushing of her teeth by 'A'isha in her apartment. 'Urwa said: Mother of the Faithful, are you not hearing what Abi 'Abdul Rahman is saying? She said: What is he saying? Thereupon he ('Urwa) said: He (Ibn 'Umar) states that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed four 'Umrahs and one of them during the month of Rajab. Thereupon she remarked: May Allah have mercy upon Abu 'Abdul Rahman. Never did Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) perform 'Umrah in which he did not accompany him, and he (Allah's Apostle) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) never performed 'Umrah during the month of Rajab.

Ataa reported: I heard Ibn Abbas (RA) narrating to us that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to a woman of the Ansar (Ibn Abbas (RA) had mentioned her name but I have forgotten it): 'What has prevented you that you do not perform Hajj along with us? She said: We have only two camels for carrying water. One of the camels has been taken by my husband and my son for performing Hajj and one has been left for us for carrying water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: So when the month of Ramadan comes, perform 'Umrah, for'Umrah in this (month) is equal to Hajj (in reward).

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to a woman of the Ansar who was called Umm Sinan: What has prevented you that you did not perform Hajj with us? She said: The father of so and so (i. e. her husband) had only two camels. One of them had been taken away by him (my husband) and his son for Hajj, whereas the other one is used by our boy to carry water. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: 'Umrah during the month of Ramadan would suffice for Hajj or Hajj along with me.

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to come out (of Madinah) by way of al-Shajarah and entered it by the way of al-Mu'arras and whenever he entered Makkah, he entered it from the upper side and went out of it from the lower side.
