ذِكْرُ الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي سَأَلَ هَذَا السَّائِلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَمَّا سَأَلَ

ibnhibban:3779Abū Yaʿlá > Shaybān b. Farrūkh > Hammām > ʿAṭāʾ > Ṣafwān b. Yaʿlá b. Umayyah from his father

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ wearing a cloak with traces of yellow. He asked, "How should I perform Umrah?" The Prophet ﷺ received a revelation and covered himself with a garment. He said, "I wished to see the Prophet ﷺ after receiving the revelation." Umar lifted the edge of the garment and said, "I looked at him and he had a yellowish complexion." When I left, he asked, "Where is the person asking about Umrah? Wash away the traces of yellow or blemish and take off your cloak. Perform Umrah in the way you would in your Hajj."

"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was at Ji'rana. The man was wearing a cloak which had traces of Khaluq or Sufra (a kind of perfume). The man asked (the Prophet ﷺ ), 'What do you order me to perform in my ʿUmra?' So, Allah inspired the Prophet ﷺ divinely and he was screened by a place of cloth. I wished to see the Prophet ﷺ being divinely inspired. ʿUmar said to me, 'Come! Will you be pleased to look at the Prophet ﷺ while Allah is inspiring him?' I replied in the affirmative. ʿUmar lifted one corner of the cloth and I looked at the Prophet ﷺ who was snoring. (The sub-narrator thought that he said: The snoring was like that of a camel). When that state was over, the Prophet ﷺ asked, "Where is the questioner who asked about ʿUmra? Put off your cloak and wash away the traces of Khaluq from your body and clean the Sufra (yellow color) and perform in your Umra what you perform in your Hajj (i.e. the Tawaf round the Kaʿba and the Saʿi between Safa and Marwa). "

There was a trace of yellowness on it. He said (to the Holy Prophet): What do you command me to do during my Umra? (It was at this juncture) that the revelation came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was covered with a cloth, and Ya'la said: Would that I see revelation coming to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Would it please you to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ receiving the revelations 'Umar lifted a corner of the cloth and I looked at him and he was emitting a sound of snorting. He (the narrator) said: I thought it was the sound of a camel. When he was relieved of this he said: Where is he who asked about Umra? When the person came, the Prophet ﷺ said: Wash out the trace of yellowness, or he said: the trace of perfume and put off the cloak and do in your 'Umra what you do in your Hajj.

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was at al-Ji'ranah. He was wearing perfume or the mark of saffron was on him and he was wearing a tunic. He said: Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do while performing my Umrah. In the meantime, Allah, the Exalted, sent a revelation to the Prophet ﷺ. When he (the Prophet) came to himself gradually, he asked: Where is the man who asking about umrah? (When the man came) he (the Prophet) said: Wash the perfume which is on you, or he said: (Wash) the mark of saffron (the narrator is doubtful), take off the tunic, then do in your umrah as you do in your hajj.

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in Ji'rana wearing a cloak and had the appearance of a traveler. Hammam or a mark of yellowish color was on him. He said, "How do you order me to do in my 'Umrah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Revelation has come to the Prophet ﷺ while he was covered with a cloth." He said, "I wish that I had seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when revelation was being sent down to him." 'Umar said to him, "Do you feel at ease when looking at the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and he had revelation sent down to him?" Then 'Umar lifted the edge of the cloak and I looked at him, and he had a mark. Hammam said, "I think the mark was like the mark of a camel's knee." When Hammam left, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is the questioner (about 'Umrah)? Lay aside your cloak, take a bath and do in your 'Umrah what you do in your Hajj."
