Aishah the wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم at the farewell pilgrimage and raised the voice in talbiyah for an ‘Umrah. The Apostel of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said those who have brought the sacrificial animals with them should raise their voices in talbiyah for Hajj along with an ‘Umrah and they should not put off their Ihram till they do so after performing them both. I came to Makkah while I was menstruating and I did not go round the House (the Kaabah) or run between al-Safa and al-Marwah. I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم he said: Undo your hair, comb it and raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj and let Umrah go. She said I did so. When we performed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent me along with Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to al-Ta’nim and I performed Umrah. He said, this is Umrah in place of the one you had missed. She said those who had raised their voices in talbiyah for Umrah put off Ihram after circumambulating the House (the Kaabah) and after running between al-Safa and al-Marwa. Then they performed another circumambulation for their Hajj after they returned from Mina but those who combined Hajj and Umrah performed only one circumambulation.

Aishah said: We raised our voices in talbiyah for Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I menstruated. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came upon me while I was weeping. He asked, why are your weeping, Aishah? I replied, I menstruated. Would that I had not come out for performing Hajj. He said: Glory be to Allah, this is a thing prescribed by Allah on the daughters of Adam. He said perform all the rites of Hajj but do not go round the House (the Kaabah). When we entered Makkah, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said he who desires to make (his Hajj) an Umrah may do so, except those who have sacrificial animals with them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives on the day of sacrifice. When the night of al-Batha came, and Aishah was purified she said to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم my fellow female pilgrims will return after performing Hajj and Umrah and I shall return after performing only Hajj? He therefore, ordered Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr who took her to al-Ta’nim. She uttered there talbiyah for Umrah.

Aishah said“We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and we thought it nothing but a Hajj. When we came, we circumambulated the House (the Kaabah). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then commanded those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them to take off their ihram. Therefore those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them took off their ihram.

Aishah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying“If I had known beforehand about my affair what I have come to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animals with me. The narrator Muhammad (bin Yahya) said“ I think he (’Uthman bin Umar) said and I would have taken off my ihram with those who have put their ihram after performing ‘Umrah. He said“By this he intended that all the people might have performed equal rites (of Hajj)

Jabir said“We went out along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raising our voices in talbiyah for Hakk alone (Ifrad) while Aishah raised her voice in talbiyah for an ‘Umrah. When she reached Sarif, she menstruated. When we came to (Makkah) we circumambulated the Kaabah and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then commanded us that those who had not brought sacrificial animals withthem should put off their ihram (after ‘Umrah). We asked“Which acts are lawful (and which not)? He replied All acts are lawful (that are permissible usually). We had therefore intercourse with our wives, used perfumes, put on our clothes. There remained only four days to perform Hajj at ‘Arafah. We then raised our voice in talbiyah (wearing Ihram for Hajj) on the eighth of Dhu al Hijjah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم entered upon Aishah and found her weeping. He said What is the matter with you? My problem is that I have menstruated, while the people have put on their ihram but I have not done so, nor did I go round the House (the Kaabah). Now the people are proceeding for Hajj. He said This is a thing destined by Allah to the daughters of Adam. Take a bath, then raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj (i. e, wear ihram for Hajj). She took a abtah and performed all the rites of the Hajj (lit. she stayed at all those places where the pilgrims stay). When she was purified, she circumambulated the House (the Kaabah), and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah. He (the Prophet) said“Now you have performed both your Hajj and your ‘Umrah. She said Messenger of Allah, I have some misgiving in my mind that I did not go round the Kaabah when I performed Hajj (in the beginning). He said Abd al Rahman (her brother), take her and have her perform ‘Umrah from Al Tan’im. This happened on the night of Al Hasbah (i. e., the fourteenth of Dhu Al Hijjah).

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Jabir through a different chain of narrators. This version has The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said“Raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj and then perform Hajj, and do so all the pilgrims do, except that you should not circumambulate the Hose (the Kaabah) and should not pray.

Jabir bin Abdullah said“We raised our voices in talbiyah along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم exclusively for Hajj, not combining anything with it. When we came to Makkah four days of Dhu al Hijjah had already passed. We the circumambulated (the Kaabah) and ran between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then commanded us to put off ihram. He said if I had not brought the sacrificial animals, I would have taken off Ihram. Suraqah bin Malik then stood up and said Messenger of Allah, what do you think, have you provided this facility to us for this year alone or forever? The Messenger of Allah said No, this forever and forever. Al Awza’l said I heard Ata bin Abi Rabah narrating this tradition, but I did not memorize it till I met Ibn Juraij who confirmed it for me.

Jabir said The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and his companions came to Makkah on the fourth of Dhu Al Hijjah. When they circumambulated the Kaabah and ran between al Safa’ and al Marwah the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said Change this (Hajj) into ‘Umrah, except those who have brought the sacrificial animals with them. When the eighth of Dhul Al Hijjah came, they raised their voices in talbiyah for Hall. When the tenth of Dhul Al Hijjah came, they circumambulated the Kaabah, but did not run between al Safa’ and Al Marwah.

Jabir bin Abdullah said The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and his companions raised their voices in talbiyah for Hajj. No one of them had brought the sacrificial animals with them except the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and Talhah. Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) had returned from Yemen and had brought sacrificial animals with him. He said I raised my voice in talbiyah for which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raised his voice. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded his companions to change it into ‘Umrah and clip their hair after running (between Al Safa’ and Al Marwah), and then take off their ihram except those who brought the sacrificial animals with them. They remarked should we go to Mina with our penises dripping with prostatic fluid? These remarks reached the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Thereupon he said“had I known before hand about my affair what I have come to know later, I would not have brought sacrificial animals. Had I not brought sacrificial animals with me, I would have put off my ihram.“

Ibn Abbas reported the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying This is an ‘Umrah from which we have benefitted. Anyone who has brought sacrificial animal with him should take off ihram totally. ‘Umrah has been included in Hajj till the Day of Judgment. Abu Dawud said This is a munkar (uncommon) tradition. This is in fact the statement of Ibn Abbas himself.
