A'isha Narrated from:
We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we did not see but that he (intended to perform) Hajj (only), but when we reached Mecca we circumambulated the House; and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that he who did not have with him a sacrificial animal should put off Ihram. She (A'isha) said: (And consequently) those who did not bring the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram; and among his wives (too) who had not brought the sacrificial animals with them put off Ihram.A'isha said: I entered my period and could not (therefore) circumambulate the House. When it was the night of Hasba she said: Messenger of Allah, people are coming back (after having performed both) Hajj and 'Umra, whereas I am coming back only with Hajj, whereupon he said: Did you not circumambulate (the Ka'ba) that very night we entered Mecca? She (A'isha) said: No, whereupon he said: Go along with your brother to Tan'im and put on the Ihram for Umra, and it is at such and such a place that you can meet (us).(In the meanwhile) Safiyya (the wife of the Holy Prophet) said: I think, I will detain you (since I have entered in the monthly) period and you shall have to wait for me for the farewell circuit). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: May you be wounded and your head shorn did you not circumambulate on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja)? She said: Yes. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no harm. You should go forward. 'A'isha said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was going upwards to the side of Mecca, whereas I was coming down from it, or I was going upward, whereas he was coming down.Isbiq said: She was climbing down, and he was climbing down.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1211t
This Hadith gives a fuller picture of A'isha's Hajj journey. The group came with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, reached Mecca, and those without sacrificial animals were told to come out of Ihram. A'isha entered her period and could not perform Tawaf of the House at that time. Later, she felt sad that others were returning with Hajj and Umrah while she was returning with Hajj only. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked if she had made Tawaf when they entered Mecca. When she said no, he told her to go with her brother to Tan'im and enter Ihram for Umrah. The same report also mentions Safiyya and the question of whether she had made Tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice.
What we learn from this hadith
- A'isha did not make Tawaf when she was in menses.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave her a clear way to perform Umrah from Tan'im.
- The report separates A'isha's missed Tawaf from Safiyya's later concern.
- A completed Tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice mattered in Safiyya's case.
