حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ مَرْوَانَ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَی أُمِّ مَعْقَلٍ قَالَتْ کَانَ أَبُو مَعْقَلٍ حَاجًّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مَعْقَلٍ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّی دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً وَإِنَّ لِأَبِي مَعْقَلٍ بَکْرًا قَالَ أَبُو مَعْقَلٍ صَدَقَتْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطِهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَعْطَاهَا الْبَکْرَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ کَبِرْتُ وَسَقِمْتُ فَهَلْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنْ حَجَّتِي قَالَ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُجْزِئُ حَجَّةً
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1988
Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman said: The messenger of Marwan whom he sent to Umm Maqil reported to me. She said: Abu Maqil accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during hajj. When he came (to her) she said: You know that hajj is incumbent on me. They walked until they visited him (i. e. the Prophet) and she asked (him): Messenger of Allah, hajj is due from me, and Abu Maqil has a camel. Abu Maqil said: She spoke the truth, I have dedicated it to the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it to her, that is in the cause of Allah. So he gave the camel to her. She then said: Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has become aged and ill. Is there any action which would be sufficient for me as my hajj? He replied: Umrah performed during Ramadan is sufficient as hajj.
