2997 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «لَمْ يَعْتَمِرْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمْرَةً، إِلَّا فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ»

Commentary

Arabs, during their pre-Islamic period, used to believe that 'Umrah in the month of Dhul-Qa'dah is a sin. So, the Prophet ﷺ performed 'Umrah in this month to uproot the traces of the pre-Islamic period. The Prophet ﷺ performed his last 'Umrah with his Farewell Hajj on Sunday the 4th of Dhul-Hijjah 10 AH. (See the Sealed Nectar, by Safiur-Rahmân Mubâarakpuri, p 615). It is considered in Dhul-Qa'dah since the Prophet ﷺ started his journey four days before the end of the month Dhul-Qa'dah.
