1991 - ‘Abd al-A‘lā ibn Ḥammād narrated to us, Dāwūd ibn ‘Abd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ‘Urwah, from his father.

============================================

It was also transmitted with a different wording by al-Bukhārī in his “Ṣaḥīḥ” (1782) and (1863), and by Muslim (1256), via the chain of ‘Aṭā’ ibn Abī Rabāḥ from Ibn ‘Abbās, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from his pilgrimage, he said to Umm Sinān al-Anṣāriyyah: “What prevented you from performing the pilgrimage?” She said: “Abū Fulān” — meaning her husband — “had two camels for watering; he performed the pilgrimage on one of them, and the other waters our land.” He said: “Verily, an ‘Umrah in Ramaḍān fulfills a Ḥajj, or a Ḥajj with me.” This is the wording of al-Bukhārī’s narration in the second location and one of Muslim’s two narrations. We have only mentioned it because it contains explicit mention of the name of the Anṣāriyyah woman, so that it may be known that she is not Umm Ma‘qil.

On this topic, there is also a narration from Abū Ṭulayq — with a sound chain — transmitted by Ibn Abī ‘Āṣim in “al-Āḥād wa-l-Mathānī” (2710), al-Bazzār in his “Zawā’id” (1151), al-Dūlābī in “al-Kunā wa-l-Asmā’” 1/120, al-Ṭabarānī in “al-Mu‘jam al-Kabīr” 22/(816), Ibn al-Athīr in “Usd al-Ghābah” 6/182–183, and Ibn Ḥajar in “al-Iṣābah” 7/232–233. Its wording according to al-Ṭabarānī: The wife of Abū Ṭulayq said to him — and he had a camel and a she-camel —: “Give me your camel so that I may perform the pilgrimage on it.” He said: “It is dedicated in the path of Allah.” She said: “Verily, it is in the path of Allah that I perform the pilgrimage on it.” She said: “Then give me the she-camel and perform the pilgrimage on your camel.” He said: “I will not prefer anyone over myself.” She said: “Then give me from your spending money.” He said: “I have nothing extra beyond what I take out with me and leave for you; if I had anything with me, I would give it to you.” She said: “Since you have done what you have done, convey my greeting to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when you meet him, and tell him what I said to you.” When he met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he conveyed her greeting to him and informed him of what she had said to him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Umm Ṭulayq has spoken the truth. Had you given her your camel, it would have been in the path of Allah; had you given her your she-camel, it would have been in the path of Allah; and had you given her from your spending money, Allah would have replaced it for you.” He said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, what then equals the pilgrimage?” He said: “An ‘Umrah in Ramaḍān.”

Al-Būṣīrī also cited it in “Ittiḥāf al-Khiyarah” (3277) and added attribution to Abū Ya‘lā.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ also cited it in “al-Iṣābah” and added attribution to Ibn Abī Shaybah, Ibn al-Sakan, and Ibn Mandah via the chain of ‘Abd al-Raḥīm ibn Sulaymān from al-Mukhtār, and he said: Its chain is good.
