Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entered (Makkah) at night only on the occasion of the ‘Umrah of Ji‘irrana, and performed ‘Umrah at night and then returned. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam coming during the day was extremely appropriate in this regard, so that it would be easy for people to follow his actions, while the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam desired that people should learn the rites of Hajj.
