It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that we set out with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and our intention was only to perform Hajj. The Prophet (peace be upon him) reached Makkah and performed Tawaf of the House of Allah, but did not exit the state of Ihram because he had a sacrificial animal with him. His noble wives and the companions also performed Tawaf and Sa’i, and all those who did not have a sacrificial animal with them exited the state of Ihram. Hazrat Aisha was in her menstrual period. After we had performed our Hajj rituals and reached the place of Hasbah to depart, I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will your companions return with both Hajj and Umrah, and I will return with only Hajj?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "When we reached Makkah, did you not perform Tawaf of both?" I replied, "No." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Go with your brother to Tan’eem, enter into Ihram for Umrah, perform Umrah, and meet us at such-and-such place." During this time, Hazrat Safiyyah’s menstrual period began. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "These women cut and shave (i.e., delay us), you will force us to stay. Did you not perform Tawaf al-Ziyarah on the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah?" She replied, "Why not?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Then there is no harm, now depart." Hazrat Aisha says that I met the Prophet (peace be upon him) at night while he was ascending the upper part of Makkah and I was descending, or the Prophet (peace be upon him) was descending and I was ascending.
