It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) instructed the people and said: Whoever among you wishes to perform Umrah before Hajj may do so. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) himself assumed Ihram only for Hajj, and did not perform Umrah.
