Qatadah says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "How many ‘Umrahs did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform?" He said: Four. The first was the ‘Umrah from which the polytheists prevented him; this was in Dhu al-Qa‘dah. The second was the one he performed the following year, also in Dhu al-Qa‘dah. The third was the one he performed from Ja‘ranah at the time of the distribution of the spoils of the Battle of Hunayn, and this too was in Dhu al-Qa‘dah. And the fourth was the one he performed along with the Farewell Hajj.
