'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , said: The dawn broke upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the Ramadan in a state of junub not because of sexual dream (but on account of intercourse) and he washed himself and observed fast.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Hamza bin 'Amr al-Aslami asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about fasting on a journey, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Fast if you like and break it if you like.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Hamza bin Amr al-Aslami asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thus: Messenger of Allah, I am a person devoted much to fasting. Should I fast during the journey? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Fast if you like and break it if you like.

Hamza bin 'Amr al-Aslami (RA) said: Messenger of Allah, I find strength in me for fasting on a journey; is there any sin upon me (in doing it)? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It is a concession from Allah. He who took advantage of it, it is good for him, and he who preferred to observe fast, there is no sin upon him. Harun (one of the narrators) in his narration said: 'lt is a concession, and he made no mention of "from Allah".

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish used to fast on the day of 'Ashura in the pre-Islamic days and the Messenger ot Allah (ﷺ) also observed it. When he migrated to Madinah, he himself observed this fast and commanded (others) to observe it. But when fasting during the month of Ramadan was made obligatory he said: He who wishes to observe this fast may do so, and he who wishes to abandon it may do so.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported. In the pre-Islamic days fast was observed on the day of Ashura, but with the advent of Islam (its position was ascertained as that of a voluntary fast). Then he who wished to fast fasted, and he who liked to abandon it abandoned it.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered to observe fast (on 'Ashura) before the fasting in Ramadan was made obligatory. But when it became obligatory, then he who wished fasted on the day of Ashura, and he who wished did not observe it (on that day).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Quraish used to observe fast on the day of Ashura during the pre-Islamic days. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then commanded to fast on that day till (fasting) in Ramadan became obligatory. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who wished to fast should do so, and he who wished to break it may do so.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone dies in a state (that he had to complete) some fasts, his heir must fast on his behalf.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and Ibn Numair reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Look for (and in the words of Waki, seek) Lailat-ul-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan.

This hadith has been narrated by 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) through another chain of transmitters.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) used to observe i'tikif in the last ten days of Ramadan till Allah called him back (to his heavenly home). Then his wives observed i'tikaf after him.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before he entered upon the state of lhram and (concluding) before circumambulating the (sacred) House.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I applied perfume of Dharira to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with my hand (on the occasion of) the Farewell Pilgrimage on freeing from the state of Ihram and entering upon it.

'Uthman bin 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father that he said: I asked 'A'isha with what thing she perfumed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at the time of entering upon the state of Ihram. She said: With the best of perfume.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I applied the best perfume, which I could get, to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before entering upon the state of Ihram (and after this) he put on the Ihram.

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) 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) 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.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) came to Makkah he entered from its upper side and came out from its lower side.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered Makkah during the year of Victory from Kada i.e from the upper side. Hisham said: My father entered it from both the sides, but generally he entered from Kada.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) circumambulated the Ka’bah on the back of his camel on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage and touched the corner and he did not like that the people should be pushed away from him.

Umm Salamah reported: I made a complaint to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of my ailment, whereupon be said: Circumambulate behind the people while riding. She said: So I circumambulated and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was at that time praying towards the side of the House and he was reciting al-Tur and a Book Inscribed (i. e. Sura Iii. of the Qur'an).

Hisham bin 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father who narrated from 'A'isha. He said to 'A'isha: I think if a person does not run between al- Safa' and al-Marwah, It does not do any harm to him (so far as Hajj is concerned). She said: Why (do you think so)? I said: For Allah says: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" (ii. 158) (to the end of the verse), whereupon she said: Allah does not complete the Hajj of a person or his 'Umrah if he does not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh; and if it were so as you state, then (the wording would have been (fala janah an la yatufu biha) [" There is no harm for him if he does not circumambulate between them']. Do you know in what context (this verse was revealed)? (It was revealed in this context) that the Ansar in the Days of Ignorance pronounced the Talbiya for two idols. (fixed on the bank of the river which were called Isaf and Na'ila. The people went there, and then circumambulated between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh and then got their heads shaved. With the advent of Islam they (the Muslims) did not like to circumambulate between them as they used to do during the Days of Ignorance. It was on account of this that Allah the Exalted and Majestic, revealed: "Verily al-Safe and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" to the end of the verse. She said: Then people began to observe Sa'i.
