Minor Pilgrammage (Umra)
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 1:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "(The performance
of) 'Umra is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and
the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one
accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 2:
Narrated Ibn Juraij:
Ikrima bin Khalid asked Ibn 'Umar about
performing 'Umra before Hajj. Ibn 'Umar replied, "There is no
harm in it." 'Ikrima said, "Ibn 'Umar also said, 'The Prophet
had performed 'Umra before performing Hajj.'"
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 3:
Narrated 'Ikrima bin Khalid:
"I asked Ibn 'Umar the same (as
above)."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 4:
Narrated Mujahid:
Ursa bin AzZubair and I entered the
Mosque (of the Prophet) and saw 'Abdullah bin Umar sitting near
the dwelling place of Aisha and some people were offering the
Duha prayer. We asked him about their prayer and he replied that
it was a heresy. He (Ursa) then asked him how many times the
Prophet had performed 'Umra. He replied, 'Four times; one of
them was in the month of Rajab." We disliked to contradict him.
Then we heard 'Aisha, the Mother of faithful believers cleaning
her teeth with Siwak in the dwelling place. 'Ursa said, "O
Mother! O Mother of the believers! Don't you hear what Abu
'Abdur Rahman is saying?" She said, "What does he say?" 'Ursa
said, "He says that Allah's Apostle performed four 'Umra and one
of them was in the month of Rajab." 'Aisha said, "May Allah be
merciful to Abu 'Abdur Rahman! The Prophet did not perform any
'Umra except that he was with him, and he never performed any
'Umra in Rajab."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 5:
Narrated 'Ursa bin Az-Zubair:
I asked 'Aisha (whether the Prophet had
performed 'Umra in Rajab). She replied, "Allah's Apostle never
performed any 'Umra in Rajab."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 6:
Narrated Qatada:
I asked Anas how many times the Prophet
had performed 'Umra. He replied, "Four times. 1. 'Umra of
Hudaibiya in Dhi-l-Qa'da when the pagans hindered him; 2. 'Umra
in the following year in Dhi-l-Qa'da after the peace treaty with
them (the pagans); 3. 'Umra from Al-Jr'rana where he distributed
the war booty." I think he meant the booty (of the battle) of
Hunain. I asked, "How many times did he perform Hajj?" He (Anas)
replied, "Once. "
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 7:
Narrated Qatada:
I asked Anas (about the Prophet's
'Umra) and he replied, "The Prophet performed 'Umra when the
pagans made him return, and Umra of al-Hudaibiya (the next
year), and another 'Umra in Dhi-l-Qa'da, and another 'Umra in
combination with his Hajj."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 8:
Narrated Hammam:
The Prophet performed four 'Umra
(three) in Dhi-l-Qa'da except the (one) 'Umra which he performed
with his Hajj: His 'Umra from Al-hudaibiya, and the one of the
following year, and the one from Al-Jr'rana where he distributed
the booty (of the battle) of Hunain, and another 'Umra with his
Hajj.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 9:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
I asked Masruq, 'Ata' and Mujahid
(about the 'Umra of Allah's Apostle). They said, "Allah's
Apostle had performed 'Umra in Dhi-l-Qa'da before he performed
Hajj." I heard Al-Bara' bin 'Azib saying, "Allah's Apostle had
performed 'Umra in Dhi-l-Qa'da twice before he performed Hajj."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 10:
Narrated Ata:
I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "Allah's
Apostle asked an Ansari woman (Ibn 'Abbas named her but 'Ata'
forgot her name), 'What prevented you from performing Hajj with
us?' She replied, 'We have a camel and the father of so-and-so
and his son (i.e. her husband and her son) rode it and left one
camel for us to use for irrigation.' He said (to her), 'Perform
'Umra when Ramadan comes, for 'Umra in Ramadan is equal to Hajj
(in reward),' or said something similar."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 11:
Narrated Aisha:
We set out along with Allah's Apostle
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 (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.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 12:
Narrated 'Amr bin Aus:
Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr told me that
the Prophet had ordered him to let 'Aisha ride behind him and to
make he perform 'Umra from At-Tan'im.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 13:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet and his companions assumed
Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet and Talha had the
Hadi with them. 'Ali had come from Yemen and he had the Hadi
with him. He ('Ali) said, "I have assumed Ihram with an
intention like that of Allah's Apostle has assumed it." The
Prophet ordered his companions to intend the Ihram with which
they had come for 'Umra, to perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba (and
between Safa and Marwa), to get their hair cut short and then to
finish their Ihram with the exception of those who had the Hadi
with them. They asked, "Shall we go to Mina and the private
organs of some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihram and have
sexual relations with our wives)?" The Prophet heard that and
said, "Had I known what I know now, I would not have brought the
Hadi. If I did not have the Hadi with me I would have finished
my Ihram." 'Aisha got her menses and performed all the
ceremonies (of Hajj) except the Tawaf . So when she became clean
from her menses, and she had performed the Tawaf of the Ka'ba,
she said, "O Allah's Apostle! You (people) are returning with
both Hajj and 'Umra and I am returning only with Hajj!" So, he
ordered 'Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr to go with her to At-Tan'im.
Thus she performed 'Umra after the Hajj in the month of
Dhi-l-Hijja. Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'sham met the Prophet at
Al-'Aqaba (Jamrat-ul 'Aqaba) while the latter was stoning it and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is this permissible only for you?" The
Prophet replied, "No, it is for ever (i.e. it is permissible for
all Muslims to perform 'Umra before Hajj."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 14:
Narrated 'Aisha:
We set out with Allah's Apostle shortly
before the appearance of the new moon of Dhi-l-Hiija and he
said, "Whoever wants to assume Ihram for 'Umra may do so, and
whoever wants to assume Ihram for Hajj may do so. Had not I
brought the Hadi with me, I would have assumed Ihram for 'Umra."
Some of the people assumed Ihram for 'Umra while others for
Hajj. I was amongst those who had assumed Ihram for 'Umra. I got
my menses before entering Mecca, and was menstruating till the
day of 'Arafat. I complained to Allah's Apostle about it, he
said, "Abandon your 'Umra, undo and comb your hair, and assume
Ihram for Hajj." So, I did that accordingly. When it was the
night of Hasba (day of departure from Mina), the Prophet sent
'Abdur Rahman with me to At-Tanim.
The sub-narrator adds: He
('AbdurRahman) let her ride behind him. And she assumed Ihram
for 'Umra in lieu of the abandoned one. Aisha completed her Hajj
and 'Umra, and no Hadi, Sadaqa (charity), or fasting was
obligatory for her.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 15:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
That 'Aisha said, "O Allah's Apostle!
The people are returning after performing the two Nusuks (i.e.
Hajj and 'Umra) but I am returning with one only?" He said,
"Wait till you become clean from your menses and then go to
At-Tan'im, assume Ihram (and after performing 'Umra) join us at
such-and-such a place. But it (i.e. the reward if 'Umra) is
according to your expenses or the hardship (which you will
undergo while performing it)."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 16:
Narrated 'Aisha:
We set out assuming the Ihram for Hajj
in the months of Hajj towards the sacred precincts of Hajj. We
dismounted at Sarif and the Prophet said to his companions,
"Whoever has not got the Hadi with him and likes to make it as
'Umra, he should do it, but he who has got the Hadi with him
should not do it." The Prophet and some of his wealthy
companions had the Hadi with them, so they did not finish Ihram
after performing the 'Umra. The Prophet came to me while I was
weeping. He asked me the reason for it. I replied, "I have heard
of what you have said to your companions and I cannot do the
'Umra." He asked me, "What is the matter with you?" I replied,
"I am not praying." He said, "There is no harm in it as you are
one of the daughters of Adam and the same is written for you as
for others. So, you should perform Hajj and I hope that Allah
will enable you to perform the 'Umra as well." So, I carried on
till we departed from Mina and halted at Al-Mahassab. The
Prophet called 'Abdur-Rahman and said, "Go out of the sanctuary
with your sister and let her assume Ihram for 'Umra, and after
both of you have finished the Tawaf I will be waiting for you at
this place." We came back at mid-night and the Prophet asked us,
"Have you finished?" I replied in the affirmative. He announced
the departure and the people set out for the journey and some of
them had performed the Tawaf of the Ka'ba before the morning
prayer, and after that the Prophet set out for Medina.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 17:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya'la bin Umaiya
from his father who said:
"A man came to the Prophet while he was
at Ji'rana. The man was wearing a cloak which had traces of
Khaluq or Sufra (a kind of perfume). The man asked (the Prophet
), 'What do you order me to perform in my 'Umra?' So, Allah
inspired the Prophet divinely and he was screened by a place of
cloth. I wished to see the Prophet being divinely inspired.
'Umar said to me, 'Come! Will you be pleased to look at the
Prophet while Allah is inspiring him?' I replied in the
affirmative. 'Umar lifted one corner of the cloth and I looked
at the Prophet who was snoring. (The sub-narrator thought that
he said: The snoring was like that of a camel). When that state
was over, the Prophet asked, "Where is the questioner who asked
about 'Umra? Put off your cloak and wash away the traces of
Khaluq from your body and clean the Sufra (yellow color) and
perform in your Umra what you perform in your Hajj (i.e. the
Tawaf round the Ka'ba and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwa). "
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 18:
Narrated Hisham Ibn 'Urwa from his
father who said:
While I was a youngster, I asked 'Aisha
the wife of the Prophet. "What about the meaning of the
Statement of Allah;
"Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al
Marwa, are among the symbols of Allah. So, it is not harmful if
those who perform Hajj or 'Umra of the House (Ka'ba at Mecca) to
perform the going (Tawaf) between them? (2.158) I understand
(from that) that there is no harm if somebody does not perform
the Tawaf between them." 'Aisha replied, "No, for if it were as
you are saying, then the recitation would have been like this:
'It is not harmful not to perform Tawaf between them.' This
verse was revealed in connection with the Ansar who used to
assume the Ihram for the idol Manat which was put beside a place
called Qudaid and those people thought it not right to perform
the Tawaf of As-Safa and Al-Marwa. When Islam came, they asked
Allah's Apostle about that, and Allah revealed:--
"Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and
Al-Marwa Are among the symbols of Allah. So, it is not harmful
of those who perform Hajj or 'Umra of the House (Ka'ba at Mecca)
to perform the going (Tawaf) between them." (2.158) Sufyan and
Abu Muawiya added from Hisham (from 'Aisha): "The Hajj or 'Umra
of the person who does not perform the going (Tawaf) between
As-Safa and Al-Marwa is incomplete in Allah's sight.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 19:
Narrated Isma'il:
Abdullah bin Abu Aufa said: "Allah's
Apostle performed 'Umra and we too performed 'Umra along with
him. When he entered Mecca he performed the Tawaf (of Ka'ba) and
we too performed it along with him, and then he came to the
As-Safa and Al-Marwa (i.e. performed the Sai) and we also came
to them along with him. We were shielding him from the people of
Mecca lest they may hit him with an arrow." A friend of his
asked him (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Aufa), "Did the Prophet enter the
Ka'ba (during that 'Umra)?" He replied in the negative. Then he
said, "What did he (the Prophet ) say about Khadija?" He
(Abdullah bin Aufa) said, "(He said) 'Give Khadija the good
tidings that she will have a palace made of Qasab in Paradise
and there will be neither noise nor any trouble in it."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 20:
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar:
We asked Ibn 'Umar whether a man who
had performed the Tawaf of the Ka'ba but had not performed the
Tawaf between As-Safa and Al-Marwa yet, was permitted to have
sexual relation with his wife. He replied, "The Prophet arrived
(at Mecca) and circumambulated the Ka'ba seven times and then
offered a two Rak'at prayer behind Maqam-lbrahim and then
performed the going (Tawaf) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa (seven
times) (and verily, in Allah's Apostle you have a good example."
And we asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah (the same question) and he
replied, "He should not go near her till he has finished the
going (Tawaf) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 21:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
I came to the Prophet at Al-Batha'
while his camel was kneeling down and he asked me, "Have you
intended to perform the Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He
asked me, 'With what intention have you assumed Ihram?" I
replied, "I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that
of the Prophet. He said, "You have done well. Perform the Tawaf
of the Ka'ba and (the Sai) between As-safa and Al-Marwa and then
finish the Ihram." So, I performed the Tawaf around the Ka'ba
and the Sai) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and then went to a
woman of the tribe of Qais who cleaned my head from lice. Later
I assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I used to give the verdict of
doing the same till the caliphate of 'Umar who said, "If you
follow the Holy Book then it orders you to remain in the state
of Ihram till you finish from Hajj, if you follow the Prophet
then he did not finish his Ihram till the Hadi (sacrifice) had
reached its place of slaughtering (Hajj-al-Qiran)."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 22:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
Abdullah the slave of Asma bint Abu
Bakr, told me that he used to hear Asma', whenever she passed by
Al-Hajun, saying, "May Allah bless His Apostle Muhammad. Once we
dismounted here with him, and at that time we were traveling
with light luggage; we had a few riding animals and a little
food ration. I, my sister, 'Aisha, Az-Zubair and such and such
persons performed 'Umra, and when we had passed our hands over
the Ka'ba (i.e. performed Tawaf round the Ka'ba and between
As-Safa and Al-Marwa) we finished our lhram. Later on we assumed
Ihram for Hajj the same evening."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 23:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Whenever Allah's Apostle returned from
a Ghazwa, Hajj or 'Umra, he used to say Takbir thrice at every
elevation of the ground and then would say, "None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah; He is One and has no partner. All
the kingdoms is for Him, and all the praises are for Him, and He
is Omnipotent. We are returning with repentance, worshipping,
prostrating, and praising our Lord. He has kept up His promise
and made His slave victorious, and He Alone defeated all the
clans of (non-believers)."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 24:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Prophet arrived at Mecca, some
boys of the tribe of Bani 'Abdul Muttalib went to receive him,
and the Prophet made one of them ride in front of him and the
other behind him.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 25:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Whenever Allah's Apostle left for
Mecca, he used to pray in the mosque of Ash-Shajra, and when he
returned (to Medina), he used to pray in the middle of the
valley of Dhul-Hulaifa and used to pass the night there till
morning.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 26:
Narrated Anas: The Prophet never
returned to his family from a journey at night. He
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 27:
Narrated Jabir: The Prophet forbade
going to one's family at night (on arrival from a
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 28:
Narrated Humaid:
Anas said, "Whenever Allah's Apostle
returned from a journey, he, on seeing the high places of
Medina, would make his she-camel proceed faster; and if it were
another animal, even then he used to make it proceed faster."
Narrated Humaid that the Prophet used
to make it proceed faster out of his love for Medina.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 29:
Narrated Anas:
As above, but mentioned "the walls of
Medina" instead of "the high places of Medina. Al-Harith bin
Umar agrees with Anas.
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 30:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
I heard Al-Bara' saying, "The above
Verse was revealed regarding us, for the Ansar on returning from
Hajj never entered their houses through the proper doors but
from behind. One of the Ansar came and entered through the door
and he was taunted for it. Therefore, the following was
revealed: --
"It is not righteousness That you enter
the houses from the back, But the righteous man is He who fears
Allah, Obeys His order and keeps away from What He has forbidden
So, enter houses through the proper doors." (2.189)
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 31:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Traveling is a kind
of torture as it prevents one from eating, drinking and sleeping
properly. So, when one's needs are fulfilled, one should return
quickly to one's family."
Volume 3, Book
27, Number 32:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his
father:
I was with Ibn 'Umar on the way to
Mecca, and he got the news that Safiya bint Abu Ubaid was
seriously ill. So, he hastened his pace, and when the twilight
disappeared, he dismounted and offered the Maghrib and 'Isha'
prayers together. Then he said, "I saw that whenever the Prophet
had to hasten when traveling, he would delay the Maghrib prayer
and join them together (i.e. offer the Maghrib and the Isha
prayers together)."
