>  Minor Pilgrammage (Umra)

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 1: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle said, "(The performance of)
>      'Umra is an expiation for the sins committed
>      (between it and the previous one). And the
>      reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by
>      Allah) is nothing except Paradise."

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 2:

>      Narrated Ibn Juraij: 
> 
>      Ikrima bin Khalid asked Ibn 'Umar about
>      performing 'Umra before Hajj. Ibn 'Umar
>      replied, "There is no harm in it." 'Ikrima said, "Ibn

>      Narrated Mujahid: 
> 
>      Ursa bin AzZubair and I entered the Mosque (of
>      the Prophet) and saw 'Abdullah bin Umar sitting
>      near the dwelling place of Aisha and some
>      people were offering the Duha prayer. We asked
>      him about their prayer and he replied that it was

>      times the Prophet had performed 'Umra. He
>      replied, 'Four times; one of them was in the
>      month of Rajab." We disliked to contradict him.
>      Then we heard 'Aisha, the Mother of faithful
>      believers cleaning her teeth with Siwak in the
>      dwelling place. 'Ursa said, "O Mother! O
>      Mother of the believers! Don't you hear what

>      does he say?" 'Ursa said, "He says that Allah's
>      Apostle performed four 'Umra and one of them
>      was in the month of Rajab." 'Aisha said, "May
>      Allah be merciful to Abu 'Abdur Rahman! The
>      Prophet did not perform any 'Umra except that
>      he was with him, and he never performed any
>      'Umra in Rajab."

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 5: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Ursa bin Az-Zubair: 
> 
>      I asked 'Aisha (whether the Prophet had
>      performed 'Umra in Rajab). She replied, "Allah's
>      Apostle never performed any 'Umra in Rajab."

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 6: 
> 
>      Narrated Qatada: 
> 
>      I asked Anas how many times the Prophet had
>      performed 'Umra. He replied, "Four times. 1.
>      'Umra of Hudaibiya in Dhi-l-Qa'da when the
>      pagans hindered him; 2. 'Umra in the following
>      year in Dhi-l-Qa'da after the peace treaty with
>      them (the pagans); 3. 'Umra from Al-Jr'rana
>      where he distributed the war booty." I think he
>      meant the booty (of the battle) of Hunain. I
>      asked, "How many times did he perform Hajj?"
>      He (Anas) replied, "Once. "

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated Qatada: 
> 
>      I asked Anas (about the Prophet's 'Umra) and he
>      replied, "The Prophet performed 'Umra when the

>      al-Hudaibiya (the next year), and another 'Umra
>      in Dhi-l-Qa'da, and another 'Umra in
>      combination with his Hajj."

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated Hammam: 
> 
>      The Prophet performed four 'Umra (three) in
>      Dhi-l-Qa'da except the (one) 'Umra which he

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 9: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Ishaq: 
> 
>      I asked Masruq, 'Ata' and Mujahid (about the
>      'Umra of Allah's Apostle). They said, "Allah's
>      Apostle had performed 'Umra in Dhi-l-Qa'da
>      before he performed Hajj." I heard Al-Bara' bin
>      'Azib saying, "Allah's Apostle had performed

>      Hajj." 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated Ata: 
> 
>      I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "Allah's Apostle
>      asked an Ansari woman (Ibn 'Abbas named her
>      but 'Ata' forgot her name), 'What prevented you
>      from performing Hajj with us?' She replied, 'We
>      have a camel and the father of so-and-so and his
>      son (i.e. her husband and her son) rode it and left
>      one camel for us to use for irrigation.' He said (to
>      her), 'Perform 'Umra when Ramadan comes, for
>      'Umra in Ramadan is equal to Hajj (in reward),'
>      or said something similar." 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 11: 
> 
>      Narrated Aisha: 
> 
>      We set out along with Allah's Apostle shortly
>      before the appearance of the new moon
>      (crescent) of the month of Dhi-l-Hijja and he said
>      to us, "Whoever wants to assume Ihram for Hajj
>      may do so; and whoever wants to assume Ihram
>      for 'Umra may do so. Hadn't I brought the Hadi
>      (animal for sacrificing) (with me), I would have
>      assumed Ihram for 'Umra." ('Aisha added,): So
>      some of us assumed Ihram for 'Umra while the
>      others for Hajj. I was amongst those who
>      assumed Ihram for 'Umra. The day of 'Arafat
>      approached and I was still menstruating. I
>      complained to the Prophet (about that) and he
>      said, "Abandon your 'Umra, undo and comb
>      your hair, and assume Ihram for Hajj;." When it
>      was the night of Hasba, he sent 'Abdur Rahman
>      with me to At-Tan'im and I assumed Ihram for
>      'Umra (and performed it) in lieu of my missed
>      'Umra. 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 12: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Amr bin Aus: 
> 
>      Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr told me that the
>      Prophet had ordered him to let 'Aisha ride
>      behind him and to make he perform 'Umra from
>      At-Tan'im. 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 13: 
> 
>      Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      The Prophet and his companions assumed Ihram
>      for Hajj and none except the Prophet and Talha
>      had the Hadi with them. 'Ali had come from
>      Yemen and he had the Hadi with him. He ('Ali)
>      said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention like
>      that of Allah's Apostle has assumed it." The
>      Prophet ordered his companions to intend the
>      Ihram with which they had come for 'Umra, to
>      perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba (and between
>      Safa and Marwa), to get their hair cut short and
>      then to finish their Ihram with the exception of
>      those who had the Hadi with them. They asked,
>      "Shall we go to Mina and the private organs of
>      some of us are dribbling (if we finish Ihram and
>      have sexual relations with our wives)?" The
>      Prophet heard that and said, "Had I known what
>      I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi.
>      If I did not have the Hadi with me I would have
>      finished my Ihram." 'Aisha got her menses and
>      performed all the ceremonies (of Hajj) except the
>      Tawaf . So when she became clean from her
>      menses, and she had performed the Tawaf of the
>      Ka'ba, she said, "O Allah's Apostle! You
>      (people) are returning with both Hajj and 'Umra
>      and I am returning only with Hajj!" So, he
>      ordered 'Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr to go
>      with her to At-Tan'im. Thus she performed
>      'Umra after the Hajj in the month of Dhi-l-Hijja.
>      Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'sham met the Prophet at
>      Al-'Aqaba (Jamrat-ul 'Aqaba) while the latter
>      was stoning it and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is
>      this permissible only for you?" The Prophet
>      replied, "No, it is for ever (i.e. it is permissible for
>      all Muslims to perform 'Umra before Hajj." 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 14: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      We set out with Allah's Apostle shortly before
>      the appearance of the new moon of Dhi-l-Hiija
>      and he said, "Whoever wants to assume Ihram
>      for 'Umra may do so, and whoever wants to
>      assume Ihram for Hajj may do so. Had not I
>      brought the Hadi with me, I would have assumed
>      Ihram for 'Umra." Some of the people assumed
>      Ihram for 'Umra while others for Hajj. I was
>      amongst those who had assumed Ihram for
>      'Umra. I got my menses before entering Mecca,
>      and was menstruating till the day of 'Arafat. I
>      complained to Allah's Apostle about it, he said,
>      "Abandon your 'Umra, undo and comb your hair,
>      and assume Ihram for Hajj." So, I did that
>      accordingly. When it was the night of Hasba (day
>      of departure from Mina), the Prophet sent
>      'Abdur Rahman with me to At-Tanim. 
> 
>      The sub-narrator adds: He ('AbdurRahman) let
>      her ride behind him. And she assumed Ihram for
>      'Umra in lieu of the abandoned one. Aisha
>      completed her Hajj and 'Umra, and no Hadi,
>      Sadaqa (charity), or fasting was obligatory for
>      her. 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 15: 
> 
>      Narrated Al-Aswad: 
> 
>      That 'Aisha said, "O Allah's Apostle! The people
>      are returning after performing the two Nusuks
>      (i.e. Hajj and 'Umra) but I am returning with one
>      only?" He said, "Wait till you become clean from
>      your menses and then go to At-Tan'im, assume
>      Ihram (and after performing 'Umra) join us at
>      such-and-such a place. But it (i.e. the reward if
>      'Umra) is according to your expenses or the
>      hardship (which you will undergo while
>      performing it)." 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 16: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      We set out assuming the Ihram for Hajj in the
>      months of Hajj towards the sacred precincts of
>      Hajj. We dismounted at Sarif and the Prophet
>      said to his companions, "Whoever has not got
>      the Hadi with him and likes to make it as 'Umra,
>      he should do it, but he who has got the Hadi with
>      him should not do it." The Prophet and some of
>      his wealthy companions had the Hadi with them,
>      so they did not finish Ihram after performing the
>      'Umra. The Prophet came to me while I was
>      weeping. He asked me the reason for it. I
>      replied, "I have heard of what you have said to
>      your companions and I cannot do the 'Umra." He
>      asked me, "What is the matter with you?" I
>      replied, "I am not praying." He said, "There is no
>      harm in it as you are one of the daughters of
>      Adam and the same is written for you as for
>      others. So, you should perform Hajj and I hope
>      that Allah will enable you to perform the 'Umra
>      as well." So, I carried on till we departed from
>      Mina and halted at Al-Mahassab. The Prophet
>      called 'Abdur-Rahman and said, "Go out of the
>      sanctuary with your sister and let her assume
>      Ihram for 'Umra, and after both of you have
>      finished the Tawaf I will be waiting for you at this
>      place." We came back at mid-night and the
>      Prophet asked us, "Have you finished?" I replied
>      in the affirmative. He announced the departure
>      and the people set out for the journey and some
>      of them had performed the Tawaf of the Ka'ba
>      before the morning prayer, and after that the
>      Prophet set out for Medina. 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 17: 
> 
>      Narrated Safwan bin Ya'la bin Umaiya from his
>      father who said: 
> 
>      "A man came to the Prophet while he was at
>      Ji'rana. The man was wearing a cloak which had
>      traces of Khaluq or Sufra (a kind of perfume).
>      The man asked (the Prophet ), 'What do you
>      order me to perform in my 'Umra?' So, Allah
>      inspired the Prophet divinely and he was
>      screened by a place of cloth. I wished to see the
>      Prophet being divinely inspired. 'Umar said to
>      me, 'Come! Will you be pleased to look at the
>      Prophet while Allah is inspiring him?' I replied in
>      the affirmative. 'Umar lifted one corner of the
>      cloth and I looked at the Prophet who was
>      snoring. (The sub-narrator thought that he said:
>      The snoring was like that of a camel). When that
>      state was over, the Prophet asked, "Where is the
>      questioner who asked about 'Umra? Put off your
>      cloak and wash away the traces of Khaluq from
>      your body and clean the Sufra (yellow color) and
>      perform in your Umra what you perform in your
>      Hajj (i.e. the Tawaf round the Ka'ba and the Sa'i
>      between Safa and Marwa). " 
> 
> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 18: 
> 
>      Narrated Hisham Ibn 'Urwa from his father who
>      said: 
> 
>      While I was a youngster, I asked 'Aisha the wife
>      of the Prophet. "What about the meaning of the
>      Statement of Allah; 
> 
>      "Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al Marwa,
>      are among the symbols of Allah. So, it is not

>      understand (from that) that there is no harm if
>      somebody does not perform the Tawaf between
>      them." 'Aisha replied, "No, for if it were as you
>      are saying, then the recitation would have been
>      like this: 'It is not harmful not to perform Tawaf
>      between them.' This verse was revealed in
>      connection with the Ansar who used to assume
>      the Ihram for the idol Manat which was put
>      beside a place called Qudaid and those people
>      thought it not right to perform the Tawaf of
>      As-Safa and Al-Marwa. When Islam came, they

>      and Abu Muawiya added from Hisham (from
>      'Aisha): "The Hajj or 'Umra of the person who
>      does not perform the going (Tawaf) between

>      Narrated Isma'il:

>      Abdullah bin Abu Aufa said: "Allah's Apostle
>      performed 'Umra and we too performed 'Umra
>      along with him. When he entered Mecca he
>      performed the Tawaf (of Ka'ba) and we too

>      Sai) and we also came to them along with him.
>      We were shielding him from the people of

>      friend of his asked him (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Aufa),
>      "Did the Prophet enter the Ka'ba (during that

> Volume 3, Book 27, Number 20:

>      Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar: 
> 
>      We asked Ibn 'Umar whether a man who had

>      performed the Tawaf between As-Safa and

>      "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, for
>      stubbornness is not her habit, but she was

>      Then he said, "By the Name of Him in Whose

>

>      Whose Hands my life is, I will fight with them
>      defending my Cause till I get killed, but (I am
>      sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause

>      what you have said." So, he set off till he reached
>      Quraish and said, "We have come from that man
>      (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying

>      He said, "Do you mistrust me?" They said, "No."

>      Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said, "He is

>      which you did to me and which I did not

>      Prophet's beard as he was talking while
>      Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba was standing near the
>      head of the Prophet, holding a sword and
>      wearing a helmet. Whenever Urwa stretched his

>      Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of
>      the sword and say (to Urwa), "Remove your
>      hand from the beard of Allah's Apostle." Urwa
>      raised his head and asked, "Who is that?" The
>      people said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba."
>      Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I not doing my
>      best to prevent evil consequences of your
>      treachery?" 
> 
>      Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the
>      company of some people. He killed them and
>      took their property and came (to Medina) to
>      embrace Islam. The Prophet said (to him, "As
>      regards your Islam, I accept it, but as for the
>      property I do not take anything of it. (As it was
>      taken through treason). Urwa then started
>      looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By
>      Allah, whenever Allah's Apostle spat, the spittle
>      would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the
>      Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his
>      face and skin; if he ordered them they would
>      carry his orders immediately; if he performed
>      ablution, they would struggle to take the
>      remaining water; and when they spoke to him,
>      they would lower their voices and would not
>      look at his face constantly out of respect. Urwa
>      returned to his people and said, "O people! By

>      Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have never seen
>      any of them respected by his courtiers as much
>      as Muhammad is respected by his companions.
>      By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the
>      hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's
>      companions) who would rub it on his face and
>      skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his

>      and would not look at his face constantly out of
>      respect." Urwa added, "No doubt, he has
>      presented to you a good reasonable offer, so
>      please accept it." A man from the tribe of Bani
>      Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they
>      allowed him, and when he approached the
>      Prophet and his companions, Allah's Ap le I said,
>      "He is so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that

>      So, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn
>      were brought before him and the people received
>      him while they were reciting Talbiya. When he
>      saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is
>      not fair to prevent these people from visiting the
>      Ka'ba." When he returned to his people, he said,

>      ropes) and marked (with stabs on their backs). I
>      do not think it is advisable to prevent them from

>      bin Hafs got up and sought their permission to go
>      to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When
>      he approached the Muslims, the Prophet said,
>      "Here is Mikraz and he is a vicious man." Mikraz

>      "As for 'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know
>      what it means. So write: By Your Name O Allah,

>      said, "By Allah, we will not write except: By the
>      Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
>      Merciful." The Prophet said, "Write: By Your
>      Name O Allah." Then he dictated, "This is the
>      peace treaty which Muhammad, Allah's Apostle
>      has concluded." Suhail said, "By Allah, if we
>      knew that you are Allah's Apostle we would not
>      prevent you from visiting the Kaba, and would
>      not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin

> 
>      When the writing of the peace treaty was

>      whenever they heard about a caravan of Quraish
>      heading towards Sham, they stopped it and
>      attacked and killed them (i.e. infidels) and took
>      their properties. The people of Quraish sent a
>      message to the Prophet requesting him for the
