اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ، أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَعْتَمِرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا جَعَلَ بَعِيرًا لَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَعْطِهَا، فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً)).
Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham narrated from a woman of the Ashja‘ tribe (Umm Ma‘qil, may Allah be pleased with her) that she intended to perform ‘Umrah in Ramadan, while her husband had a camel which he had given in the way of Allah. She mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: “Give it to her, for performing ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to performing Hajj.”
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
From the aforementioned ahadith, it is understood that performing ‘umrah in the blessed month of Ramadan is equal to performing hajj; meaning, Allah, the Possessor of Majesty, will grant its reward equal to that of hajj. It does not mean that the obligation of hajj is lifted; rather, whoever has hajj obligatory upon him must still perform hajj.
It is mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked Umm Sinan (radi Allahu anha): “Why did you not perform hajj with us?” She presented the excuse of not having a riding animal. Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ((For indeed, ‘umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to hajj or hajj with me.)) (Bukhari, Kitab al-‘Umrah, No. 1863) ... “Performing ‘umrah in Ramadan is equal to performing hajj with me.”
