Hadith: Perform ‘Umrah when Ramadan comes, for ‘Umrah in it is equivalent to Hajj
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ سَمَّاهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَنَسِيتُ اسْمَهَا: «مَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَحُجِّي مَعَنَا؟» قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنْ لَنَا إِلَّا نَاضِحَانِ فَحَجَّ أَبُو وَلَدِهَا وَابْنُهَا عَلَى نَاضِحٍ وَتَرَكَ لَنَا نَاضِحًا نَنْضِحُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: «فَإِذَا جَاءَ رَمَضَانُ فَاعْتَمِرِي، فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِيهِ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً».

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to a woman from the Ansār—Ibn ‘Abbās named her, but I forgot her name—"What prevented you from performing Hajj with us?" She said: We only had two camels, and the father of her son and her son performed Hajj on one camel and left us a camel to carry water on. He said: "Perform ‘Umrah when Ramadan comes, for ‘Umrah in it is equivalent to Hajj."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 1256]
On returning from the Farewell Hajj, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to a woman from the Ansār who did not perform Hajj: What prevented you from performing Hajj with us?
Her excuse was that they had two camels; one of which her husband and son performed Hajj on, leaving the other to bring them water from the well.
Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed her that ‘Umrah performed during the month of Ramadan is similar in reward to that of Hajj.
Benefits from the Hadith
- Merit of performing ‘Umrah during the month of Ramadan.
- ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj in terms of reward, not in discharging the obligation of Hajj.
- The reward of deeds increases according to the increase in the excellence of the times in which they are performed. This applies to the deeds performed in Ramadan.
