It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions donned the Ihram for Hajj and recited its Talbiyah. Only the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had sacrificial animals with them. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came from Yemen, and he also had a sacrificial animal with him. When he donned the Ihram, he said: I am donning the Ihram in the manner of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed the Companions to change their Talbiyah or Ihram to Umrah, and after performing Tawaf and Sa’i of the House of Allah, to cut their hair and become halal (exit the state of Ihram), except for those who had sacrificial animals with them, for they could not become halal. But the people said: Will we go towards Mina in such a state that drops of semen will be dripping from our private parts? When this statement reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: If the thought that has now come to me had come earlier, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me, and if I did not have the sacrificial animal with me, I too would have become halal. During this journey, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) began menstruating, but she performed all the rites except for the Tawaf of the House of Allah, and when she became pure from menstruation, she performed Tawaf. She said: O Messenger of Allah! You all are returning after performing both Hajj and Umrah, and I am returning after performing only Hajj? Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) to go with her to Tan’eem (and help her perform Umrah), so Sayyida performed Umrah in the month of Dhul-Hijjah after Hajj. Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju’sham (may Allah be pleased with him) met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) near Jamrat al-Aqabah while he was stoning (the Jamarat). He said: O Messenger of Allah! (Is performing Umrah during the days of Hajj) specific only for this year with you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: No, rather this command is forever.
