Please mention the narration regarding Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) having to go back to Tan’im to make ‘Umrah?
Answer:
This narration is recorded several times in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Hereunder is one such version:
Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) relates, “We went out with Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) for Hajjatul Wada’ [The Farewell Hajj] and made the intention [ihram] for ‘Umrah. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) then said, ‘Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him should make the intention for Hajj and ‘Umrah and should not come out of ihram until completing both.’ I reached Makkah while I was menstruating and could not make tawaf nor go between Safa and Marwah. I complained regarding this to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and he said, ‘Untie your hair, comb it and make the intention [go into ihram] for Hajj and leave the ‘Umrah.’ Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says, ‘I did that and when we had finished Hajj, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) sent me with [my brother] ‘Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) to Tan’im. I performed ‘Umrah and he said, ‘This is [to compensate] for the ‘Umrah you missed.’”
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1556, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1211)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
