Narrated `Aisha: We set out with the Prophet with the intention of performing Hajj only. The Prophet reached Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and did not finish the Ihram, because he had the Hadi with him. His companions and his wives performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa), and those who had no Hadi with them finished their Ihram. I got the menses and performed all the ceremonies of Hajj. So, when the Night of Hasba (night of departure) came, I said, O Allah's Apostle! All your companions are returning with Hajj and `Umra except me. He asked me, Didn't you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Umra) when you reached Mecca? I said, No. He said, Go to Tan`im with your brother `Abdur-Rahman, and assume Ihram for `Umra and I will wait for you at such and such a place. So I went with `Abdur-Rahman to Tan`im and assumed Ihram for `Umra. Then Safiya bint Huyay got menses. The Prophet said, 'Aqra Halqa! You will detain us! Didn't you perform Tawaf-al-Ifada on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)? She said, Yes, I did. He said, Then there is no harm, depart. So I met the Prophet when he was ascending the heights towards Mecca and I was descending, or vice-versa.
