On the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Anyone who likes to assume the for ' Umra he can do so. Had I not brought the Hady with me, I would have also assumed the for ' Umra ". Some of us assumed the for ' Umra while the others assumed the Iḥram for Hajj. I was one of those who assumed the for ' Umra. I got menses and kept on menstruating until the day of ' Arafât and complained of that to the Prophet (ﷺ) He told me to postpone my ' Umra, undo and comb my head-hair, and to assume the Ihram for Hajj and I did so. On the night of Hasba, he sent my brother ' Abdur Rahmân bin Bakr with me to At-Tan'îm, where I assumed the for ' Umra in lieu of the previous one. (Hishâm said), For that (Umra) no Hady, fasting or alms were required ". [1:314-O.B.]
