We set out in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ five days before the end of Dhul Qa'da intending to perform Hajj only. When we approached Mecca Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered those who did not have the Hadi (i.e. an animal for sacrifice) with them, to perform the Tawaf around the Kaʿba, and between Safa and Marwa and then finish their Ihram. Beef was brought to us on the day of (i.e. the days of slaughtering) and I asked, "What is this?" Somebody said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ has slaughtered (a cow) on behalf of his wives." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2952)
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِخَمْسِ لَيَالٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَلَا نَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ الْحَجُّ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ هَدْيٌ إِذَا طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَنْ يَحِلَّ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَدُخِلَ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِلَحْمِ بَقَرٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا «نَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ» قَالَ يَحْيَى فَذَكَرْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لِلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ أَتَتْكَ بِالْحَدِيثِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ
