Sahih Muslim Hadith 3037

I and 'Urwah bin Zubair entered the mosque and found 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ sitting near the apartment of A'ishah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا and the people were observing the forenoon prayer (when the sun had sufficiently risen). We asked him about their prayer, and he said: It is bid'a (innovation), Urwah said to him: O Abu Abdul-Rahman, how many 'umrahs did Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) perform? He said: Four 'umrahs, one he performed during the month of Rajab. We were reluctant either to believe him or reject him. We heard the noise of brushing of her teeth by 'A'ishah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا in her apartment. 'Urwah said: Mother of the Faithful, are you not hearing what Abi 'Abdul-Rahman is saying? She said: What is he saying? Thereupon he ('Urwah) said: He (Ibn 'Umar) states that Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) performed four 'umrahs and one of them during the month of Rajab. Thereupon she remarked: May Allah have mercy upon Abu 'Abdul-Rahman. Never did Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) perform 'Umrah in which he did not accompany him, and he (Allah's Apostle) never performed 'Umrah during the month of Rajab.
