ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَهُمْ مَا وَصَفْنَا قَبْلَ دُخُولِهِمْ مَكَّةَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى مِثْلَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ بِسَرِفٍ

[Machine] "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for Hajj, along with women and children. When we arrived in Makkah, we made tawaf around the Kaaba and between Safa and Marwa. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, 'Whoever does not have a sacrificial animal, let him perform Ihram for Umrah.' We asked, 'Which type of Ihram?' He replied, 'All types of Ihram are acceptable.' On the day of Tarwiyah, we performed Hajj and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, 'Share camels and cattle, seven in a group.' Surahqah ibn Malik ibn Jushum came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is this Umrah for this year or forever?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'Not just for this year, but forever.' He then asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, explain our religion to us as if we were just created now. What do you think of the actions that we do? Are they for what has already been written or for what lies ahead?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'Not for what has already been written, but for what lies ahead.' I asked, 'So what should we do?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do good deeds, for everyone will find it easy to do what they are destined to do.'"

We went with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in 'a state of Ihram for the Hajj. There were women and children with us. When we reached Mecca we circumambulated the House and (ran) between al-Safa and al-Marwa. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who has no sacrificial animal with him should put off lhram. We said: What kind of putting off? He said: Getting out of lhram completely. So we came to our wives, and put on our clothes and applied perfume. When it was the day of Tarwiya, we put on Ihram for Hajj. and the first circumambulation and (running) between al-Safa and al-Marwa sufficed us.. Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to become seven partners (in the sacrifice) of a camel and a cow. (Using translation from Muslim 1213d)

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wearing our Ihram garments until women and children met us. When we arrived in Mecca, we circumambulated the Kaaba, Safa, and Marwa, the Prophet ﷺ said to us, "Whoever doesn't have a sacrificial animal should go into a state of Ihram." We asked, "What type of Ihram?" He replied, "All types of Ihram." So we approached the women, wore our clothes, and applied fragrance. On the day of Tarwiyah, we entered the state of Ihram for Hajj, and the first tawaf between Safa and Marwa was sufficient for us. The Prophet ﷺ instructed us to share the camels and cattle, with seven of us sharing each mount. Then Suraqah bin Malik came and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, explain our religion as if we were just created now. Is this Umrah for this year only, or forever?" He said, "No, it is forever."

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , to perform the Hajj, so we arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf around the Kaaba and between Safa and Marwa. Then, the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , addressed us and said, "Whoever has not brought a sacrificial animal, let him perform Umrah instead." We asked, "What is Umrah, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Umrah is every type of performance." So, we prepared ourselves, wore the clothes of Ihram, and applied perfume. Some people said that we should perform Umrah after reaching Arafah for four days. When the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , heard about this, he became angry and said, "By Allah, you know that I am the most God-conscious among you. If I had known that you would say this, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal. Obey what you are commanded to do." Then, Suraqah bin Malik stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this Umrah a one-time act or is it for every year?" The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , replied, "No, it is for every year." Suraqah then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about our religion. Is it as if we were created today? Is there anything that was ceased to be written and decided?" The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , said, "No, it is in what has been already written and decided." Suraqah then asked, "So, what should we do, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You should act upon it, for every doer will find ease." Then, he recited the verse, "But as for he who gives and fears Allah, and believes in the best [reward], We will ease him toward ease. But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need and denies the best [reward], We will ease him toward difficulty."
