It was narrated that Jabir said: “We, the Companions of the Prophet entered Ihram for Hajj only, and nothing else. We came to Makkah on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah, and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded us: ‘Exit Jhram and make it ‘Umrah.’ He heard that we were saying: ‘When there are only five days between us and ‘Arafat he commands us to exit I, and we will go out to Mina with our male members dripping with semen (because of recent intimacy with our wives)?’ The Prophetstood up and addressed us, saying: ‘I have heard what you said. I am the most righteous and the most pious of you, and were it not for the HadI I would have exited Ihram. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought a HadI.’ And ‘All came from Yemen and hesaid: ‘For what did you enter Ihram?’ He said: ‘For that for which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم entered Thram.’ Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju’shum said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, do you think that this ‘Umrah of ours is for this year only or for all time?’ He said: ‘It is for all time.” (Sahih)
