Hadith about Umrah & Hajj

What Has Been Related About The Rewards For Hajj and ‘Umrah

Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) narrated that the Messenger of Allah(saw) said: “Alternate between Hajj and Umrah; for these two remove poverty and sins just as the bellows removes filth from iron, gold, and silver – and there is no reward for Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur except for Paradise (Hasan) (Tirmidhi – 810).

Ibn Abbas (raz) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) performed four ‘Umrah: The ‘Umrah of Al-Hudaibiyah, a second ‘Umrah the following (year), (which was) the ‘Umrah of Al-Qisas during Dhul-Qada, a third ‘Umrah from Jir’rranah, and the fourth which accompanied his Hajj.” (Sahih). (Tirmidhi – 816).

Comments: It is agreed upon that the Messenger of Allah (saw) performed four ‘Umrah. First in 6 A.H. in the month of Dhul-Qadah. It was stopped by the disbelievers of Makkah. Though it was not performed, its reward was awarded. Second was performed in the month of Dhul-Qa’dah in 7 A.H. as a result of the Hudaibiyah agreement. For this reason it has been called ‘Umrah of Al-Qisas, or ‘Umrah Al-Qisas’ or ‘Umrah of Al-Sulh. This ‘Umrah is known by different names. The third ‘Umrah was performed from Ji’raranah  after brining to conclusion the battle of Al-Hunain and At-Taif. The fourth and last ‘Umrah was performed with the last Hajj. In the year 10 A.H. the Messenger of Allah (saw) started from Al-Madinah on the 25^th of Dhul-Qadah on Saturday and on the 4^th of Dhul-Hijjah he reached Makkah and performed ‘Umrah and Hajj’
