Aisha Allah be pleased with her reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we did not see but that he intended to perform Hajj only ; but when we reached Mecca we circumambulated the House; and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that he who did not have with him a sacrificial animal should put off Ihram. She Aisha said: And consequently those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram; and among his wives too who had not brought the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram. Aisha said: I entered my period and could not therefore circumambulate the House. When it was the night of Hasba she said: Messenger of Allah; people are coming back after having performed both Hajj andUmra; whereas I am coming back only with Hajj; whereupon he said: Did you not circumambulate the Kaba that very night we entered Mecca? She Aisha said: No; whereupon he said: Go along with your brother to Tanim and put on the Ihram for Umra; and it is at such and such a place that you can meet us. In the meanwhile Safiya the wife of the Holy Prophet said: I think; I will detain you since I have entered in the monthly period and you shall have to wait for me for the farewell circuit. Thereupon he the Holy Prophet said: May you be wounded and your head shorn did you not circumambulate on the Day of Sacrifice 10th of Dhu AlHijja ? She said: Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no harm. You should go forward. Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was going upwards to the side of Mecca; whereas I was coming down from it; or I was going upward; whereas he was coming down. Isbiq said: She was climbing down; and he was climbing down.
