Urwa bin Az-Zubair and I entered the Mosque (of the Prophet) and saw ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar sitting near the dwelling place of Aisha and some people were offering the Duha prayer. We asked him about their prayer and he replied that it was a heresy. He (Urwa) then asked him how many times the Prophet ﷺ had performed ʿUmra. He replied, 'Four times; one of them was in the month of Rajab." We disliked to contradict him. Then we heard ʿAisha, the Mother of faithful believers cleaning her teeth with Siwak in the dwelling place. 'Urwa said, "O Mother! O Mother of the believers! Don't you hear what Abu ʿAbdur Rahman is saying?" She said, "What does he say?" 'Urwa said, "He says that Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four ʿUmra and one of them was in the month of Rajab." ʿAisha said, "May Allah be merciful to Abu ʿAbdur Rahman! The Prophet ﷺ did not perform any ʿUmra except that he was with him, and he never performed any ʿUmra in Rajab." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1775)
