7230. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه 'We were in the company of Allah's Messenger ﷺ and we assumed the state of Ihrām of Hajj and arrived at Makkah on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet ﷺ ordered us to perform the Tawāf around the Ka'bah and (Sa'y) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa and make it as 'Umra', and finish the state of Ihrām except the one who had Hady with him. None of us had the Hady with him except the Prophet ﷺ and Ṭalḥa. 'Alī came from Yemen and brought the Hady with him. 'Alī said, "I had assumed the state of Ihrām with the same intention as that with which Allah's Messenger ﷺ had assumed it." The people said, "How can we proceed to Minā and our male organs are dribbling?"(1) Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hady, and had there been no Hady with me, I would have finished my Ihrām.” Surāqa (bin Mālik) met the Prophet ﷺ while he was throwing pebbles at the Jamrat-al-'Aqaba, and asked, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Is this (permitted) for us only?”(1) The Prophet ﷺ replied, “No, it is forever.” ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها had arrived at Makkah while she was menstruating, therefore the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to perform all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawāf around the Ka’bah, and not to perform her Ṣalāt (prayers) unless and until she became clean. When they encamped at Al-Baṭhā’, ‘Āishah said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! You are proceeding after performing both Hajj and ‘Umra while I am proceeding with Hajj only?” So the Prophet ﷺ ordered ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq to go with her to At-Tan’īm, and so she performed the ‘Umra in Dhul-Hijja after the days of the Hajj.

7230 - حَدَّثَنَا الحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَبَّيْنَا بِالحَجِّ، وَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ لِأَرْبَعٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ ذِي الحِجَّةِ، فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةِ، وَأَنْ نَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً وَنَحِلَّ، إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ، قَالَ: وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنَّا هَدْيٌ غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَطَلْحَةَ، وَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ مِنَ اليَمَنِ مَعَهُ الهَدْيُ، فَقَالَ: أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى، وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ مَعِي الهَدْيَ لَحَلَلْتُ»، قَالَ: وَلَقِيَهُ سُرَاقَةُ وَهُوَ يَرْمِي جَمْرَةَ العَقَبَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَنَا هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً؟ قَالَ: «لاَ، بَلْ لِأَبَدٍ»، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَدِمَتْ مَعَهُ مَكَّةَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَأَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَنْسُكَ المَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لاَ تَطُوفُ، وَلاَ تُصَلِّي، حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا البَطْحَاءَ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ، وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِحَجَّةٍ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ أَنْ يَنْطَلِقَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ، فَاعْتَمَرَتْ عُمْرَةً فِي ذِي الحَجَّةِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الحَجِّ

(1) (H.7230) They meant, "How can we perform 'Umra' only and finish our state of Ihrām and then assume the Ihrām for Hajj and go to Minā?" On finishing the state of Ihrām, one is allowed to have sexual relation with his wife.
