A'isha, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Four are the vicious (birds, beasts and reptiles) which should be killed in the state of Ihram or otherwise: kite (and vulture), crow, rat, and the voracious dog I (one of the narrators, 'Ubaid-ullah bin Miqsam) said to Qasim (the other narrator who beard it from 'A'isha): What about the snake? He said: Let it be killed with disgrace.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Five are the harmful things which should be killed in the state of Ihram or otherwise: snake, speckled crow, rat, voracious dog, and kite.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Five are the vicious beasts which should be killed even in the state of Ihram: scorpion, rat, kite, crow and voracious dog.

A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: Five are the vicious and harmful things which should be killed even within the precincts of Haram: rat, scorpion, kite, crow and voracious dog.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Five are the beasts harmful and vicious and these must be killed even within the precincts of the Ka’bah: crow, kite, voracious dog, scorpion and rat.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went (into the house of) Duba'a bint Zubair and said to her: Did you intend to perform Hajj? She said: By Allah, (I intend to do so) but I often remain ill, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said to her: Perform Hajj but with condition, and say: O Allah, I shall be free from Ihram where you detain me. And she (Duba'a) was the wife of Miqdad.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) went (to the house of) Duba'a bint al-Zubair bin Abdul Muttalib. She said: Messenger of Allah, I intend to perform Hajj, but I am ill. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Enter into the state of Ihram on condition that you would abandon it when Allah would detain you.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Asma' bint 'Umais gave birth to Muhammad bin Abu Bakr (RA) near Dhu'I-Hulaifa. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded Abu Bakr (RA) to convey to her that she should take a bath and then enter into the state of Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. We entered into the state of Ihram for 'Umrah. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Who has the sacrificial animal with him, he should put on Ihram for Hajj along with 'Umrah, and should not put it off till he has completed them (both Hajj and 'Umrah). She said: When I came to Makkah I was having menses, I neither circumambulated the House, nor ran between as-Safa' and al-Marwah. I complained about it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Undo your hair, comb it, and pronounce Talbiya for Hajj, and give up 'Umrah (for the time being), which I did. When we had performed the Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) sent me with Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) to Tan'im saying: This is the place for your 'Umrah. Those who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah circumambulated the House, and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. They then put off Ihram and then made the last circuit after they had returned from Mina after performing their Hajj, but those who had combined the Hajj and the 'Umrah made only one circuit (as they had combined Hajj and 'Umrah).

'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. There were some amongst us who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah and there were some who had put on Ihram for Hajj. (We proceeded on till) we came to Makkah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who put on Ihram for 'Umrah but did not bring the sacrificial animal with him should put it off and he who put on Ihram for 'Umrah and he who had brought the sacrificial animal with him should not put it off until he had slaughtered the animal; and he who put on lhram for Hajj should complete it. A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I was in the monthly period, and I remained in this state till the day of 'Arafa, and I had entered into the state of Ihram for 'Umrah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thus commanded me to undo my hair and comb them (again) and enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj, and abandon (the rites of 'Umrah). She ('A'isha) said: I did so, and when I had completed my Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent with me 'Abdul Rabman bin Abu Bakr (RA) and commanded me to (resume the rites of) 'Umrah at Tan'im the place where (I abandoned) 'Umrah and put on Ihram for Hajj (before completing 'Umrah).

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. I put on Ihram for 'Umrah and did not bring the sacrificial animal. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who has the sacrificial animal with him should enter into the state of Ihram for Hajj along with 'Umrah, and he should not put the Ihram off till he has completed both of them. She (Hadrat A'isha) said: The monthly period began. When it was the night of Arafa, I said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) : I entered into the state of Ihram for 'Umrah, but now how should I perform the Hajj? Thereupon he said: Undo your hair and comb them, and desist from performing 'Umrah, and put on Ihram for Hajj She (A'isha, said: When I had completed my Hajj he commanded 'Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) to carry me behind him (on boneback) in order to enable me to resume the rituals of 'Umrah from Tan'im, the place where I abandoned its rituals.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: 'We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (to Makkah). He said: He who intended among you to put on Ihram for Hajj and 'Umrah should do so. And he who intended to put on Ihram for Hajj may do so, and he who intended to put on Ihram for 'Umrah only may do so. A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put on Ihram for Hajj and some people did that along with him. And some people put on Ihram for 'Umrah and Hajj (both), and some persons put on Ihram for 'Umrah only, and I was among those who put on Ihram for 'Umrah (only).

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon him? (in his) Farewell Pilgrimage near the time of the appearance of the new moon of Dhu'I-Hijja. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who amongst you intends to put on Ihram for 'Umrah may do so; had I not brought sacrificial animal along with me, I would have put on Ihram for 'Umrah. She (further said). There were some persons who put on Ihram for Umrs, and some persons who put on Ihram for hajj, and I was one of those who put on Ihram for 'Umrah. We went on till we reached Makkah, and on the day of 'Arafa I found myself in a state of menses, but I did not put off the Ihram for 'Umrah. I told about (this state of mine) to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , whereupon he said: Abandon your 'Umrah, and undo the hair of your head and comb (them), and put on Ihram for Hajj. She ('A'isha) said: I did accordingly. When it was the night at Hasba and Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj, he (the Holy Prophet) sent with me Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr, and he mounted me behind him on his camel and took me to Tan'im and I put on Ihram for 'Umrah, and thus Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj and 'Umrah and (we were required to observe neither sacrifice nor alms nor fasting.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) just at the appearance of the new moon of Dhu'l- Hijja. We had no other intention but that of performing the Hajj, whereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who among you intends to put on Ihram for 'Umrah should do so for 'Umrah. The rest of the hadith is the same.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at the appearance of the new moon of Dhu'I-Hijja. There were amongst us those who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah, and those also who had put on Ihram both for Hajj and 'Umrah, and still those who had put on Ihram for Hajj (alone). I was one of those who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah (only). 'Urwa (one of the narrators) said: Allah enabled her (Hadrat A'isha) to complete both Hajj and 'Umrah (according to the way as mentioned above). Hisham (one of the narrators) said: She had neither the sacrificial animal nor (was she required to) fast, nor was she obliged to give alms.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage. There were those amongst us who had put on Ihram for 'Umrah, and those who had put on Ihram both for Hajj and" 'Umrah, and those amongst us who had put on Ihram for Hajj (only), while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had put on Ihram for Hajj (only). He who put on Ihram for 'Umrah put it off (after performing 'Umrah), and he who had put on Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and 'Umrah did not put it off before the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja).

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: We proceeded with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) with no other intention but that of performing the Hajj. As I was at Sarif or near it, I entered in the state of menses. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) came to me and I was weeping, whereupon he said: Are you in a state of menses? I said. Yes. whereupon he said: This is what Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. Do whatever the pilgrim does except that you should not circumambulate the House till you have washed yourself (at the end of the menses period). And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered sacrifice of a cow on behalf of his wives.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with no other aim but that of Hajj till we came to the place known as Sarif; and there I entered in the state of menses. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me while I was weeping. He said: What makes you weep? I said: Would that I had not come (for Pilgrimage) this year. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has happened to you? You have perhaps entered the period of menses. I said: Yes. He said: This is what has been ordained for the daughters of Adam. Do what a pilgrim does except that you should not circumambulate the House, till you are purified (of the menses). She ('A'isha) said: When I came to Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his companions: Make this (Ihram) the Ihram for 'Umrah. So the people put off Ihram except those who had sacrificial animals with them. She ('A'isha) said: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) had the sacrificial animal with him, and so had Abu Bakr, 'Umar and other persons of means. They (those who had put off Ihram again) put on Ihram (for Hajj) when they marched (towards Mina), and it was the 8th of Dhu'I-Hijja. She ('A'isha) said: When it was the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijia), I was purified, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded me and I did the circumambulation of Ifada. She said that the flesh of cow was sent to us. I said: What is It? They said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has offered cow as sacrifice on behalf of his wives. When it was the night at Hasba, I said: Messenger of Allah, people are coming back from Hajj and 'Umrah, where as I am coming back from Hajj (alone). She (A'isha) reported: He (the Holy Prophet) commanded Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) to mount me upon his camel behind him. She ('A'isha) said: I was very young and I well remember that I dozed off and my face touched the hind part of the haudaj (camel litter) till we came to Tan'im, and entered into the state of Ihram in lieu of 'Umrah (which I for the time being abandoned) and which the people had performed.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj till we were at Sarif and I was in menses. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me and I was weeping. The rest of the hadith is the same but (with this portion) that there were sacrificial animals with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and with Abu Bakr, Umar and with rich persons. And they pronounced Talbiya as they proceeded on. And there is no mention of this (too): "I was a girl of tender age and I dozed off and my face touched the hind part of the Haudaj."

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj Ifrid.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) putting on the Ihram for Hajj during the months of Hajj and the night of Hajj till we encamped at Sarif. He (the Holy Prophet) went to his Companiens and said: He who has no sacrificial animal with him, in his case I wish that he should perform 'Umrah (with this Ihram), and he who has the sacrificial animal with him should not do it. So some of them performed Hajj whereas others who had no sacrificial animals with them did not do (Hajj, but per- formed only 'Umrah). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had the sacrificial animal with him and those too who could afford it (performed) Hajj). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me (i. e. A'isha) while I was weeping, and he said: What makes thee weep? I said: I heard your talk with Companions about 'Umrah. He said: What has happened to you? I said: I do not observe prayer (due to the monthly period), whereupon he said: It would not harm you; you should perform (during this time) the rituals of Hajj (which you can do outside the House). Maybe Allah will compensate you for this. You are one among the daughters of Adam ؑؑand Allah has ordained for you as He has ordained for them. So I proceeded on (with the rituals of Hajj) till we came to Mina. I washed myself and then circumambulated the House, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) encamped at Muhassab and called Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) and said: Take out your sister from the precincts of the Ka’bah in order to put on Ihram for 'Umrah and circumambulate the House and I shall wait for you here. She said: So I went out and put on Ihram and then circumambulated the House and (ran) between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and then we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was in his house in the middle of the night. He said: Have you completed your (rituals)? I said: Yes. He then announced to his Companions to march on. He came out, and went to the House and circumambulated it before the dawn prayer and then proceeded to Madinah.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Some among us put on Ihram for Hajj alone (Hajj Mufrad); some of us for Hajj and 'Umrah together (Qiran), and some of us for Tamattau (first for 'Umrah and after completing it for Hajj).

AI-Qasim bin Muhammad reported that A'isha had come for Hajj.

'Umrah reported: I heard A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) as saying: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) five days before the end of Dhi Qa'dah, and we did see but that he intended to perform Hajj (only), but as we came near Makkah the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that he who did not have the sacrificial animal with him should put off Ihram after circumambulating the House and running between al-Safa and aI-Marwah (and thus convert his Ihram from that of Hajj to 'Umrah). 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: The flesh of cow was sent to us on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja). I said: What is this? It was said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sacrificed (the cow) on behalf of his wives. Yahyi said: I made a mention of this hadith (what has been stated by 'Umrah) to Qasim bin Muhammad, whereupon be said: By Allah, she has rightly narrated it to you.

Al-Qasim narrated from the Mother of the Believers (Hadrat 'A'isha) that she said: Messenger of Allah. the people return (from Makkah) having done two worships (both Hajj and 'Umrah), but I am coming back with one (only). whereupon he said: You should wait and when the period of menses is over, you should go to Tan'im and put on Ihram and then meet us at such and such time (and I think he said tomorrow); and (the reward of this 'Umrah) is for you equal to your hardship or your spending.

Ibn al-Muththanna reported on the authority of Ibn Abu'Adi who transmitted on the authority of Ibn'Aun who narrated from al-Qasim and Ibrahim having said: I cannot differentiate the hadith of one from the other (Al-Qasim and Ibrahim) that the Mother of the Believers (Allah be pleased with her) said this: Messenger of Allah, people have come back with two acts of worship. The rest of the hadith is the same.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we did not see but that he (intended to perform) Hajj (only), but when we reached Makkah we circumambulated the House; and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that he who did not have with him a sacrificial animal should put off Ihram. She (A'isha) said: (And consequently) those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram; and among his wives (too) who had not brought the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram. A'isha said: I entered in the monthly period and could not (therefore) circumambulate the House. When it was the night of Hasba she said: Messenger of Allah, people are coming back (after having performed both) Hajj and'Umrah, whereas I am coming back only with Hajj, whereupon he said: Did you not circumambulate (the Ka’bah) that very night we entered Makkah? She (A'isha) said: No, whereupon he said: Go along with your brother to Tan'im and put on the Ihram for 'Umrah, and it is at such and such a place that you can meet (us). (In the meanwhile) Safiyya (the wife of the Holy Prophet) said: I think, I will detain you (since I have entered in the monthly) period and you shall have to wait for me for the farewell circuit. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: May you be wounded and your head shorn did you not circumambulate on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'I-Hijja)? She said: Yes. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no harm. You should go forward. 'A'isha said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was going upwards to the side of Makkah, whereas I was coming down from it, or I was going upward, whereas he was coming down. Ishaq said: She was climbing down, and he was climbing down.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased, with her) reported: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya having no explicit intention of Pilgrimage or 'Umrah. The rest of the hadith is the same.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out on the 4th or 5th of Dhul'I-Hijja (for Pilgrimage to Makkah) and came to me, and he was very angry. I said: Messenger of Allah, who has annoyed you? May Allah cast him in fire. He said: Don't you know that I commanded the people to do an act, but they are hesitant. (Hakam said: I think that he said: They seem to be hesitant.) And if I were to know my affair before what I had to do subsequently, I would not have brought with me the sacrificial animals, and would have bought them (at Makkah) and would have put off Ihram as others have done.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) came out (for Pilgrimage) on the 4th or 5th of Dhu'l Hijja. The rest of the hadith is the same, but he (the narrator) made no mention of the doubt of Hakam about his (the Prophet's) words: "They were reluctant."

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that she put on Ihram for, 'Umrah and arrived 'at Makkah, but did not circumambulate the House as she had entered in the period of menses, and then put on Ihram for Hajj and performed all the rituals concerning it (except circumambulating the House). The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said to her on the day of march (when pilgrims come to Mina): Your circumambulation would suffice both Hajj and 'Umrah. She, however, felt reluctant. Thereupon the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) sent her with 'Abdul Rahman to Tan'im and she performed 'Umrah (with separate rituals) after Hajj.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that she entered in the monthly period at Sarif, and took bath at 'Arafa (after the period was over). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: Your circumambulation between al Safa and al-Marwah is enough for your Hajj and 'Umrah.

Safiyya bint Shaiba reported that 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Messenger of Allah, lo! the people are returning with two rewards whereas I am returning with one reward. Thereupon he commanded 'Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) to take her to al-Tan'im. She ('A'isha) said: He seated me behind him on his camel. She (further) stated: I lifted my head covering and took it off from my neck. He struck my foot as if he was striking the camel. I said to him: Do you find anyone here? She (further) said: I entered into the state of Ihram for 'Umrah till we reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was at Hasba.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish (of the pre-Islamic days) and those who followed their religions practices stayed at Muzdalifa, and they named themselves as Hums, whereas all other Arabs stayed at 'Arafa. With the advent of Islam, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, commanded His Apostle (ﷺ) to come to 'Arafat and stay there, and then hurry from there, and this is the significance of the words of Allah: "Then hasten on from where the people hasten on."

Hisham narrated on the authority of his father that the Arabs with the exception of Hums who were Quraish, and their descendants, circumambulated the House naked. They kept circumambulating in this state of nudity unless the Hums supplied to them the clothes. The male provided (clothes) to the male and the female provided clothes to the female. And the Hums did not get out of Muzdalifa, whereas the people (other than the Quraish) went to 'Arafat. Hisham said on the authority of his father who related from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) who said: Hums are those about whom Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse: "Then hasten to where the people hasten." She (further) said: The people hastened on from 'Arafat, whereas Hums hastened from Muzdalifa, and said: We do not hasten but from Haram. But when this (verse) was revealed: "Hasten on from that (place) where the people hasten on," they (the Quraish) then went to 'Arafat.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha. The wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , concerning his Tamattu' of Hajj and 'Umrah and performing of Tamattu' by people in his company.

Muhammad bin 'Abdul Rahman reported: A person from Iraq said to him to inquire from 'Urwa bin Zubair for him whether a person who puts on Ihram for Hajj is allowed to put it off or not as he circumambulates the House. And if he says:" No, it can't be put off," then tell him that there is a person who makes such an assertion. He (Muhammad bin 'Abdul Rahman) then said: I asked him (Urwa bin Zubair), where- upon he said: The person who has entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj cannot get out of it unless he has, completed the Hajj I (further) said (to him): (What) if a person makes that assertion? Thereupon he said: It is indeed unfortunate that he makes such an assertion. That person ('Iraqi) then met me and he asked me and I narrated to him (the reply of 'Urwa), whereupon he (the Iraqi) said: Tell him ('Urwa) that a person had informed him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had done that; and why is it that Asma' and Zubair have done like this? He (Muhammad bin 'Abdul Rahman) said: I went to him and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he ('Urwa) said: Who is he (the 'Iraqi)? I said: I do not know, whereupon he said: What is the matter that he does not come to me himself and ask me? I suppose he is an 'Iraqi. I said: I do not know, whereupon he said: He has told a lie. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed Hajj, and 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) has told me that the first thing with which he commenced (the rituals) when he arrived at Makkah was that he performed ablution and then circumambulated the Ka’bah. Then Abu Bakr (RA) performed Hajj and the first thing with which he commenced (the Hajj) as the circumambulation of the Ka’bah and nothing besides it. So did 'Umar. Then 'Uthman performed Hajj and I saw that the first thing with which he commenced the Hajj was the circumambulation of the Ka’bah and nothing besides it. Then Mu'awiyah and'Abdullah bin 'Umar did that. Then I performed Hajj with my father Zubair bin al-'Awwam, and the first thing with which he commenced (Hajj) was the circumambulation of the House. He then did nothing besides it. I then saw the emigrants (Muhajirin) and the helpers (Ansar) doing like this and nothing besides it. And the last one whom I saw doing like this was Ibn 'Umar. And he did not break it (the Hajj) after performing 'Umrah. And Ibn 'Umar is with them. Why don't they ask him (to testify it)? And none amongst those who had passed away commenced (the rituals of Hajj) but by circumambulating the Ka’bah on their (first arrival) and they did not put off Ihram (without completing the Hajj), and I saw my mother and my aunt commencing (their Hajj) with the circumambulation of the House, and they did not put off Ihram. My mother informed me that she came and her sister, and Zubair and so and so for 'Umrah, and when they had kissed the corner (the Black Stone, after Sa'I and circumambulation), they put off Ihram. And he (the 'Iraqi) has told a lie in this matter.

'Ataa reported that 'Urwa bin Zubair (RA) had informed him (this): I and Ibn 'Umar were reclining against the (wall) of the apartment of A'isha and we were listening to the sound produced by the brushing of her teeth. I said Abu Abdul Rahman (the kunya of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) ), did Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) perform 'Umrah in the month of Rajab? He said: Yes. I said to 'A'isha: Mother, are you listening to what Abu Abdul Rabman is saying? She said: What is he saying? I said: He is saying that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) performed 'Umrah during the month of Rajab, whereupon she said: May Allah grant pardon to Abu Abdul Rahman. By my life he (the Holy Prophet) did not perform 'Umrah during the month of Rajab. And never was there an 'Umrah performed by him (the Holy Prophet) in which he ('Abdullah bin 'Umar) did not join him. Ibn 'Umar heard this and said nothing to affirm it or to deny it, but kept quiet.

Mujahid reported: I and 'Urwa bin Zubair entered the mosque and there found 'Abdullah bin 'Umar sitting near the apartment of A'isha and the people were observing the forenoon prayer (when the sun had sufficiently risen). We asked him about their prayer, and he said: It is bid'a (innovation), Urwa said to him: Abdul Rahman, how many 'Umrahs had Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed? He said: Four 'Umrahs, one he performed during the month of Rajab. We were reluctant either to belie him or reject him. We heard the noise of brushing of her teeth by 'A'isha in her apartment. 'Urwa said: Mother of the Faithful, are you not hearing what Abi 'Abdul Rahman is saying? She said: What is he saying? Thereupon he ('Urwa) said: He (Ibn 'Umar) states that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) performed four 'Umrahs and one of them during the month of Rajab. Thereupon she remarked: May Allah have mercy upon Abu 'Abdul Rahman. Never did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) perform 'Umrah in which he did not accompany him, and he (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) never performed 'Umrah during the month of Rajab.
