1785. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ and his Companions assumed Ihrām for Hajj and none except the Prophet ﷺ and Ṭalḥa had the Hady with them. 'Ali had come from Yemen and he had the Hady with him. He ('Ali) said, "I have assumed Ihrām with an intention like that of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ ordered his Companions to intend the Ihrām with which they had come for 'Umra, i.e., to perform the Tawāf of the Ka'bah [and Sā'y (going) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa], to get their hair cut short and then to finish their Ihrām with the exception of those who had the Hady with them. They asked, "Shall we go to Mina and the private organs of some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihrām and have sexual relations with our wives)?" The Prophet ﷺ heard that and said, "Had I known formerly what I know now, I would not have brought the Hady. If I did not have the Hady with me I would have finished my Ihrām." 'Aishah got her menses and performed all the ceremonies (of Hajj) except the Tawāf. So when she became clean from her menses, and she had performed the Tawāf of the Ka'bah, she said, "O Allāh's Messenger! You (people) are returning with Hajj and 'Umra and I am returning only with Hajj!" So, he ﷺ ordered 'Abdur Raḥmān bin 'Abū Bakr to go with her to At-Tan'im. Thus she performed 'Umra after the Hajj in the month of Dḥil-Hijjah. Surāqa bin Mālik bin Ju'ṣham met the Prophet ﷺ at Al-'Aqaba (Jamrat-ul-'Aqaba) while the latter was stoning it and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Is this permissible only for you?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, it is for ever (i.e., it is permissible for all Muslims to perform 'Umra before Hajj)." (1)
