060 Question One

Ibn ‘Abbas (Radhi Allahu Anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam)  said to a woman among the Ansar, “What kept you from doing Hajj with us?” She said, “We only had two camels that we used for bringing water.” So her husband and son had gone for Hajj on one camel, and he left the other for them to use for bringing water.” He (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, “When Ramadan comes, go for ‘Umrah, for ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj.” According to a report narrated by Muslim, “… is equivalent to doing Hajj with me.”
