Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman bin Harith narrates that Hazrat Abu Ma’qal presented himself in the blessed service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Hazrat Umm Ma’qal had made a vow to perform Hajj, but the means are not available to her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She should perform Umrah in Ramadan (its reward is equal to Hajj).
