It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when five nights of Dhu al-Qa'dah remained, and we thought that he (peace be upon him) had set out for Hajj. When we approached Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the person who did not have a sacrificial animal with him to perform Tawaf and Sa'i and then to come out of Ihram. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: On the day of Nahr, meat of a cow came to us, so I asked, "Where did this meat come from?" The people said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sacrificed on behalf of his wives.
