Chapter 26: `Umrah (Minor pilgrimage)
Narrated Aisha: We set out along with Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) shortly before the appearance of the new moon (crescent) of the
month of Dhi-l-Hijja and he said to us, "Whoever wants to assume Ihram for Hajj may do so; and
whoever wants to assume Ihram for 'Umra may do so. Hadn' t I brought the Hadi (animal for
sacrificing) (with me), I would have assumed Ihram for 'Umra." (' Aisha added,): So some of us
assumed Ihram for 'Umra while the others for Hajj. I was amongst those who assumed Ihram for
'Umra. The day of 'Arafat approached and I was still menstruating. I complained to the Prophet (ﷺ)
(about that) and he said, "Abandon your 'Umra, undo and comb your hair, and assume Ihram for
Hajj;." When it was the night of Hasba, he sent 'Abdur Rahman with me to at-Tan 'im and I assumed
Ihram for 'Umra (and performed it) in lieu of my missed 'Umra.
