[Machine] Marwan's messenger informed me that he was sent to Umm Maqil. He said that Abu Maqil came with the Prophet ﷺ as a pilgrim. When Abu Maqil arrived, Umm Maqil said, "You know that I have a Hajj obligation and you have a young camel, so give it to me so that I can perform Hajj on it." He said to her, "You know that I have dedicated it for the sake of Allah." She said, "Then give me the straw of your date-palm trees." He said, "You know that it is the provision for my family." She said, "But I talk to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he speaks to me." They continued walking until they entered upon him (the Prophet). She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a Hajj obligation and my husband has a young camel." Abu Maqil said, "You have spoken the truth; I have devoted it to the sake of Allah." The Prophet said, "Give it to her and let her perform Hajj on it, for it is dedicated to the sake of Allah." When he gave her the young camel, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am an old woman and I am sick. Is there any alternative act that can compensate for my Hajj obligation?" He said, "Perform `Umrah in Ramadan, for it will compensate for your Hajj obligation."

The messenger of Marwan whom he sent to Umm Ma'qil reported to me. She said: AbuMa'qil accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during hajj. When he came (to her) she said: You know that hajj is incumbent on me. They walked until they visited him (i.e. the Prophet) and she asked (him): Messenger of Allah, hajj is due from me, and AbuMa'qil has a camel. AbuMa'qil said: She spoke the truth, I have dedicated it to the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it to her, that is in the cause of Allah. So he gave the camel to her. She then said: Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has become aged and ill. Is there any action which would be sufficient for me as my hajj? He replied: umrah performed during Ramadan is sufficient as hajj.
