Sahih al-Bukhari 1698 (Book 25, Hadith 238)
and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and did not finish the Ihram, because
he had the Hadi with him. His companions and his wives performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba and between
Safa and Marwa), and those who had no Hadi with them finished their Ihram. I got the menses and
performed all the ceremonies of Hajj. So, when the Night of Hasba (night of departure) came, I said,
“O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! All your companions are returning with Hajj and `Umra except me.” He asked
me, “Didn’t you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Umra) when you reached Mecca?” I said, “No.” He said,
“Go to Tan`im with your brother `Abdur-Rahman, and assume Ihram for `Umra and I will wait for
you at such and such a place.” So I went with `Abdur-Rahman to Tan`im and assumed Ihram for
`Umra. Then Safiya bint Huyay got menses. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ” ‘Aqra Halqa! You will detain us!
Didn’t you perform Tawaf-al-Ifada on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?” She said, “Yes, I did.” He
said, “Then there is no harm, depart.” So I met the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was ascending the heights
towards Mecca and I was descending, or vice-versa.
