[2919] 120 - (...) It was narrated that 'Āishah [may Allāh be pleased with her] said: "We set out with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ not thinking of anything but Hajj, until we came to Sarif, where my menses began. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me and found me weeping. He said: 'Why are you weeping?' I said: 'By Allāh, I wish that I had not come out this year.' He said: 'What is the matter with you? Have your menses begun?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'This is something that Allāh has decreed for the daughters of Ādam, - peace be upon him. Do what the pilgrims do, but do not circumambulate the House until you have purified yourself.' When I came to Makkah, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to his Companions: 'Make it Umrah.' So the people exited Iḥrām (after performing Umrah) except those who had sacrificial animals with
them. The Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr, 'Umar and those who were well off had sacrificial animals with them. Then they entered Ihram for Umrah when they went to Minâ. On the Day of Sacrifice my menses ended, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ told me to perform Tawâf Al-ifâdah. Some beef was brought to us, and I said: 'What is this?' They said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives.' When it was the night of Al-Hasbah I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, the people are going back having performed Hajj and Umrah, and I am going back having performed Hajj (only).' So he told 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Abî Bakr to let me ride behind him on his camel. I remember that I was a young girl and I got sleepy and my face touched the back of the saddle. Then we came to At-Tan'im where I entered Ihram for Umrah, to make up for the Umrah that the people had already done."
