1516. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ sent my brother, 'Abdur Rahmān with me to Tanīm for the Umra, and he made me ride on the packsaddle (of a camel). 'Umar said, "Be ready to travel for Hajj as it (Hajj) is one of the two kinds of Jihād."(1)
1516 - وَقَالَ أَبَانُ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ القَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ مَعَهَا أَخَاهَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَأَعْمَرَهَا مِنَ التَّنْعِيمِ، وَحَمَلَهَا عَلَى قَتَبٍ» وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «شُدُّوا الرِّحَالَ فِي الحَجِّ فَإِنَّهُ أَحَدُ الجِهَادَيْنِ»

(1) (H.1516) Jihād literally means struggle and perseverance. Holy fighting against the enemies of Islām is also called Jihād. Hajj here is regarded as a kind of Jihād since one endures many difficulties and has to control one's desires and spend money on performing Hajj.
