عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْعُمْرَةِ أَوَاجِبَةٌ هِيَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا وَأَنْ تَعْتَمِرَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about ‘Umrah, is it obligatory? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: No, but if you perform ‘Umrah, it will be better for you.
