حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي اكْتُتِبْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَامْرَأَتِي حَاجَّةٌ ، قَالَ : فَارْجِعْ مَعَهَا " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:` “A Bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘I have enlisted for such and such a military campaign and my wife is going for Hajj.’ He said: ‘Go back with her.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The importance of a mahram (unmarriageable male guardian) during travel is so great that, due to this excuse, permission was granted for not participating in jihad.
➋ If, during the journey of Hajj, a woman does not have any mahram to accompany her, or if a mahram is present but he cannot afford the expenses of Hajj, and neither can the woman bear his expenses, then Hajj will not remain obligatory upon the woman, because the means (istita‘ah) are no longer present.
➌ Some scholars have stated that if other women are traveling with their own mahrams, then the woman who does not have a mahram, or whose mahram does not have the ability to undertake the journey of Hajj, may also travel with their caravan. This is because, in such a situation, the dangers to a woman’s honor and chastity, for which reason she was prohibited from traveling without a mahram, generally do not remain.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith also provides evidence for census-taking, especially that there should be a formal registration of those participating in jihad, so that the distribution of war booty (ghanimah) or identification of martyrs after the battle can be ascertained.

It is also understood from this hadith that if a woman goes for Hajj, it is necessary that her husband or another mahram accompanies her; without this, her journey for Hajj is not permissible.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that a woman cannot travel alone with a non-mahram man, even if the journey is for Hajj. Apart from mahram relatives, all other relatives who are non-mahram, a woman must observe hijab (veil) from them. Nowadays, a very incorrect custom has become prevalent that when a marriage takes place, the woman enters her husband's house with hijab, and the husband says, "This is my brother, what need is there to observe hijab from him? This is my paternal uncle's son." No, rather, only those relationships which Allah the Exalted has made mahram, only from them can a woman remove the hijab.
