وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ وَأَنَا شَاكِيَةٌ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " حُجِّي وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي " .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1207b
This hadith about entering Ihram with a condition reports that Duba’a bint al-Zubair b. Abd al-Muttalib told the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم that she intended to perform Hajj while she was ill. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told her to enter the state of Ihram on the condition that she would abandon it when Allah detained her. The narration is short, but it gives a clear phrase and a clear reason: illness was already present, and the condition was made at the start of Ihram. This is useful for searches like conditional Hajj hadith, ihram condition for illness hadith, and perform Hajj while ill hadith. The explanation should stay within this case and wording.

- Duba’a clearly stated both her intention for Hajj and her illness.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told her to enter Ihram with a condition.
- The condition related to being detained by Allah.
- The report shows guidance given before starting the journey’s rites.
