Sahih al-Bukhari 1502 (Book 25, Hadith 42)
for Umra. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, “Whoever has the Hadi with him should assume Ihram for Hajj
along with `Umra and should not finish the Ihram till he finishes both.” I was menstruating when I
reached Mecca, and so I neither did Tawaf round the Ka`ba nor Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. I
complained about that to the Prophet (ﷺ) on which he replied, “Undo and comb your head hair, and
assume Ihram for Hajj (only) and leave the Umra.” So, I did so. When we had performed the Hajj, the
Prophet sent me with my brother `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to Tan`im. So I performed the `Umra.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “This `Umra is instead of your missed one.” Those who had assumed Ihram
for `Umra (Hajj-atTamattu) performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and then
finished their Ihram. After returning from Mina, they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and
Marwa). Those who had assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra together (Hajj-al-Qiran) performed only
one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa).
