[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."
