It is narrated from Hazrat Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) My father missed Hajj in your company, which has caused him great sorrow." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You should perform Umrah in Ramadan, for performing Umrah in Ramadan is like Hajj."
