By Him In Whose Hand is my life; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Qatida saia. that Anas (Allah be pleased with him) had informed him that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) performed four ‘Umras, all during the month of Dhu’l-Qa’da except the one he performed along with Hajj (and these are) the Umra that he performed from al-Hudaibiya or during the time of (the truce of) Hudaibiya in the month of Dhu’l-Qa’da then the Umra of the next year in the month of Dhu’l-Qa’da, then the Umra for which b’e had started from ji’rana, the place where he distributed the spoils of (the battle of) Hunain in the month of Dhu’l-Qa’da, and then the ‘Umra that he performed along with his Hajj (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage).

I asked Anas (Allah be pleased with him) as to how many Pilgrimages had been performed by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and he replied: One Hajj and four `Umras were performed by him. The rest of the hadith is the same.

I asked Zaid b. Arqam: In how many military expeditions have you participated with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)? He said: In seventeen (expeditions). He (Abu Ishaq) said: Zaid b. Arqam reported to me that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had led nineteen expeditions. And he performed Hajj only once after Migration, and that was the Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu Ishaq also said: The second (Hajj) he performed at Mecca (before his Migration to Medina)

I and Ibn ‘Umar were reclining against the (wall) of the apartment of A’isha and we were listening to the sound produced by the brushing of her teeth. I said Abu Abd al-Rahman (the kunya of ‘Abdullah b. Umar), did Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) perform ‘Umra in the month of Rijab? He said: Yes. I said to ‘A’isha: Mother, are you listening to what Abu Abd al-Rabman is saying? She said: What is he Saying? I said: He is saying that Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) performed ‘Umra during the month of Rajab, whereupon she said: May Allah grant pardon to Abu Abd al-Rahman I By my life he (the Holy Prophet) did not perform ‘Umra during the month of Rajab. And never was there an Umra performed by him (the Holy Prophet) in which he (‘Abdullah b. ‘Umar) did not join him. Ibn ‘Umar heard this and said nothing to affirm It or to deny it, but kept quiet.

This hadith is narrated by Salim b. Hayyin with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of words.

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya for both simultaneously, Talbiya for ‘Umra and Hajj. Talbiya for Uwra and Hajj (he performed both Hajj and Umra as a Qarin). In another version words are: I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya for Umra and Hajj (simultaneously).”

I heard Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) as narrating from Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) who said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life. Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly pronounce Talbiya for Hajj or for Umra or for both (simultaneously as a Qiran) In the valley of Rauha

While I was in the company of Jibir, a person came and said: There is difference of opinion amomg Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair about two Mut’as (benefits, Tamattul in Hajj and temporary marriage with women), whereupon jibir said: We have been doing this during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (way peace be upon him), and then ‘Umar forbade us to do so, and we never resorted to them.

With (what intention) have you put on Ihram? He said: I have put on Ibram in accordance with the intention with which Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) has put on Ibram, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Had there not been the sacrificial animals with me, I would have put off Ihram (after performing ‘Umra).
