حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَبْعَثُ بِالْهَدْىِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، وَيَجْلِسُ فِي الْمِصْرِ، فَيُوصِي أَنْ تُقَلَّدَ بَدَنَتُهُ، فَلاَ يَزَالُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مُحْرِمًا حَتَّى يَحِلَّ النَّاسُ. قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ تَصْفِيقَهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحِجَابِ فَقَالَتْ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَفْتِلُ قَلاَئِدَ هَدْىِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَبْعَثُ هَدْيَهُ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، فَمَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ مِمَّا حَلَّ لِلرِّجَالِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ.
Masruq Narrated from:
Narrated Masruq: that he came to `Aisha and said to her, "O Mother of the Believers! There is a man who sends a Hadi to Ka`ba and stays in his city and requests that his Hadi camel be garlanded while he remains in a state of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after completing all the ceremonies of Hajj)" (What do you say about it?)Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the curtain. She said, "I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he used to send his Hadi to Ka`ba but he never used to regard as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their wives till the people returned (from the Hajj).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5566
This Hadith answers a specific question about a person who sends a Hadi to the Ka'bah while staying in his own city. Masruq asked Aisha about a man who sends a Hadi camel, asks that it be garlanded, and then considers himself in Ihram until the people finish Hajj. Aisha responded by mentioning what she herself used to do: she twisted the garlands for the Hadi of Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, and he sent his Hadi to the Ka'bah. Yet he did not make unlawful for himself what was lawful for men regarding their wives until the people returned. The Hadith is useful for searches about Hadi, garlanded sacrificial animals, and Ihram, while staying within Aisha’s direct answer.
What we learn from this hadith
- Sending a Hadi while staying in one’s city is discussed separately from being in Ihram.
- Aisha used the Prophet’s practice to answer the question.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not make lawful marital matters unlawful for himself merely by sending Hadi.
