2764. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "We came in Iḥrâm with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ for Hajj alone (Mufrad), and 'Aishah came in Iḥrâm for 'Umrah. Then, when we were in Sarif her menses started. When we came, we circumambulated the Ka'bah and (performed Saṭ) between Aṣ-Ṣafa and Al-Marwah. Then, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded those of us who did not have a Hadī to exit Iḥrâm. We said: 'Exit Iḥrâm to what degree?' He said: 'Completely.' So we had intercourse with out, wives and put on perfume, and wore our regular clothes, and there were only four nights away from 'Arafat. Then, we entered Iḥrâm on the day of At-Tarwiyah.[1] The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon 'Aishah and found her weeping. He said: 'What is the matter with you?' She said: 'I have got my menses and the people exited
Ihrâm, but I did not exit Ihrâm or did I circumambulate the House, and the people are going for Hajj now.' He said: 'This is something that Allâh has decreed for the daughters of Âdam. Perform Ghusl, then begin the Talbiyah for Hajj.' So she did that and did all the rituals. Then, when she became pure, she circumambulated the House and (performed Sa'î) between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. Then, he said: 'You have exited Ihrâm from your Hajj and your Umrah at the same time.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I feel upset because I only circumambulated the House during my Hajj.' He said: 'Take her, O 'Abdullâh, to perform Umrah from At-Tan'im.' And that was on the night of Al-Hasbah (the twelfth night of Dhul-Hijjah).") (Sa'ih)

Commentary
1. Sarif is a place situated at a distance of 16 kilometers from Makkah.
2. "To what degree?" Since, they had entered Ihrâm primarily for Hajj, only three days were left before the commencement of the rites of Hajj, they were, therefore, apprehensive concerning putting off the Ihrâm.
3. "Completely" means you can have sexual intercourse with your spouses.
4. "Four nights distance from 'Arafât": The Prophet ﷺ reached Makkah on the 4th of Dhul-Hijjah, and the pilgrims go forth to Mina on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah.
