English translation
1990. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wanted to go for Hajj, so a woman said to her husband: 'Let me perform Hajj along with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on your camel.' He said: 'I don't have (any camel) that you can perform Hajj on.' She said: 'Let me perform Hajj on that camel of yours,' and she named it. He replied: 'That one is bequeathed for the Cause of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime.' So he went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'My wife sends her Salām and the mercy of Allāh to you. She asked me to let her perform Hajj with you, for she asked: "Let me perform Hajj along with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on your camel." I told her: "I don't have (any camel) that you can perform Hajj on." She said: "Let me perform Hajj on that camel of yours," and she named it. So I replied: "That one is bequeathed for the Cause of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime." The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Indeed, were you to allow her to perform Hajj on it, that would be in the Cause of Allāh.' He said: 'And she asked me to ask you what is equivalent to a Hajj with you?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ replied: "Send her my Salām, and the mercy of Allāh, and inform her that it — meaning an Umrah in Ramaḍān — is equivalent to a Hajj with me." (Hasan)
