وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ح وَعَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ بِنُسُكَيْنِ وَأَصْدُرُ بِنُسُكٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ " انْتَظِرِي فَإِذَا طَهَرْتِ فَاخْرُجِي إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَأَهِلِّي مِنْهُ ثُمَّ الْقَيْنَا عِنْدَ كَذَا وَكَذَا - قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ غَدًا - وَلَكِنَّهَا عَلَى قَدْرِ نَصَبِكِ - أَوْ قَالَ - نَفَقَتِكِ " .
A'isha Narrated from:
Messenger of Allah. the people return (from Mecca) having done two worships (both Hajj and Umra), but I am coming back with one (only). whereupon he said: You should wait and when the period of menses is over, you should go to Tan'im and put on Ihram and then meet us at such and such time (and I think he said tomorrow); and (the reward of this Umra) is for you equal to your hardship or your spending.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1211r
This Hadith centers on A'isha's concern that other people were returning with both Hajj and Umrah while she was returning with one act. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not ignore her feeling. He told her to wait until her menses ended, then go to Tan'im, enter Ihram from there, and meet the group at an agreed time. The main lesson in this Aisha Umrah from Tanim hadith is that worship may come with delay, effort, travel, and personal strain. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also connected the reward of this Umrah to her hardship or spending. The text keeps the focus on patience, completing worship when able, and not feeling forgotten when a valid barrier slows a person down.
What we learn from this hadith
- A valid barrier can delay a pilgrim, but it does not make the person ignored.
- A'isha was guided to wait until purity before entering Ihram for Umrah.
- Tan'im is named here as the place from which she was told to enter Ihram.
- The reward of this Umrah was linked in the text to hardship or spending.
