[Machine] His mother Zainab went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Ma'qil promised me that he would not perform Hajj without me, so he performed Hajj on his camel and I was unable to bear it. I asked him for a young she-camel, but he said it was the provision for his children. I asked him for his older she-camel, but he said it was for the sake of Allah and he would not give it to me. Abu Ma'qil, what do you say, O mother of Ma'qil?" She said, "You have spoken the truth." He said, "Give her your young camel, for indeed, Hajj is the path of Allah." So he gave her his young camel. She said, "I am a woman who is sick and old, and I fear that I will not be able to perform Hajj before I die. Is there anything that can compensate for the Hajj?" He said, "Yes, performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj." So she performed Umrah in Ramadan.  

الطبراني:١٧٧٤٩حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْقِلٍ

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ زَيْنَبَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ كَانَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ لَا يَحُجَّ إِلَّا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَحَجَّ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَلَمْ أُطِقْ فَسَأَلْتُهُ جِدَادَ نَخْلِهِ فَقَالَ هُوَ قُوتُ عِيَالِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ بِكْرًا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَسْتُ أُعْطِيكِهِ فَقَالَ «أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ؟» فَقَالَ صَدَقَتْ قَالَ «أَعْطِهَا بِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ سَبِيلُ اللهِ» فَأَعْطَاهَا بِكْرَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ سَقِمْتُ وَكَبُرْتُ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أُدْرِكَ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ فَهَلْ شَيْءٌ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً» فَاعْتَمَرَتْ فِي رَمَضَانَ

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.
