حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ فِي رَجَبٍ . قَالَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مَعَهُ تَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَمَا اعْتَمَرَ فِي شَهْرِ رَجَبٍ قَطُّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ .
`Urwa Narrated from:
Ibn Umar Was Asked: In Which Month Did The Messenger Of Allah Perform Umrah? He Said: 'During Rajab.' So Aishah Said: 'The Messenger Of Allah Did Not Perform Umrah Except That He Was With Him - Meaning Ibn Umar - And He Did Not Ever Perform Umrah In The Month Of Rajab.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 936
This hadith presents a report and a correction. Urwah says Ibn Umar was asked which month the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم performed Umrah in, and Ibn Umar answered, "During Rajab." Aishah then said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم did not perform Umrah except that Ibn Umar was with him, and that he never performed Umrah in Rajab.
