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.”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا عبد الوهاب بن عبد المجيد، عن حبيب المعلم، عن عطاء، حدثني جابر بن عبد الله رضى الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أهل وأصحابه بالحج وليس مع أحد منهم هدى، غير النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وطلحة، وكان علي قدم من اليمن، ومعه الهدى فقال أهللت بما أهل به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. وإن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أذن لأصحابه أن يجعلوها عمرة، يطوفوا بالبيت، ثم يقصروا ويحلوا، إلا من معه الهدى، فقالوا ننطلق إلى منى وذكر أحدنا يقطر فبلغ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ” لو استقبلت من أمري ما استدبرت ما أهديت، ولولا أن معي الهدى لأحللت ”. وأن عائشة حاضت فنسكت المناسك كلها، غير أنها لم تطف بالبيت قال فلما طهرت وطافت، قالت يا رسول الله أتنطلقون بعمرة وحجة، وأنطلق بالحج فأمر عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر أن يخرج معها إلى التنعيم، فاعتمرت بعد الحج في ذي الحجة، وأن سراقة بن مالك بن جعشم لقي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو بالعقبة، وهو يرميها، فقال ألكم هذه خاصة، يا رسول الله قال ” لا، بل للأبد ”.
