سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1989
Narrated Umm Maqil: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Farewell Pilgrimage, and we had a camel, Abu Maqil dedicated it to the cause of Allah. Then we suffered from a disease, and Abu Maqil died. The Prophet ﷺ went out (for hajj). When he finished the hajj, I came to him. He said (to me): Umm Maqil, what prevented you from coming out for hajj along with us? She said: We resolved (to do so), but Abu Maqil died. We had a camel on which we could perform hajj, but Abu Maqil had bequeathed it to the cause of Allah. He said: Why did you not go out (for hajj) upon it, for hajj is in the cause of Allah? If you miss this hajj along with us, perform Umrah during Ramadan, for it is like hajj. She used to say: hajj is hajj, and Umrah is Umrah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it to me: I do not know whether it was peculiar to me.
