[3037] 220 - (...) It was narrated that Mujāhid said: "Urwah bin Az-Zubair and I entered the Masjid and we saw 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar sitting beside the apartment of 'Aishah, and the people were praying Duha in the Masjid. We asked him about their prayer and he said: 'It is an innovation.'[1] 'Urwah said to him: 'O Abū 'Abdur-Rahmān, how many times did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ perform 'Umrah?' He said: 'Four times, one of which was in Rajab.' We did not want to deny him or reject what he said. We heard the sound of 'Aishah brushing her teeth in the apartment, and 'Urwah said: 'O Mother of the believers, did you not hear what Abû ‘Abdur-Rahmân said?’ She said: ‘What did he say?’ He said: ‘He said that the Prophet ﷺ performed ‘Umrah four times, one of which was in Rajab.’ She said: ‘May Allâh have mercy on Abû ‘Abdur-Rahmân. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not perform ‘Umrah except he was with him, and he never performed ‘Umrah in Rajab.’”
