The Prophet's Four Umrahs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed four Umrahs in his lifetime.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah performed four umrahs, viz. umrah al-Hudaybiyyah; the second is the one when they (the Companions) were agreed upon performing umrah next year; the third is umrah performed from al-Ji'ranah; the fourth is the one which he combined with his hajj.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَطَّارُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَرْبَعَ عُمَرٍ عُمْرَةَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَالثَّانِيَةَ حِينَ تَوَاطَئُوا عَلَى عُمْرَةٍ مِنْ قَابِلٍ وَالثَّالِثَةَ مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ وَالرَّابِعَةَ الَّتِي قَرَنَ مَعَ حَجَّتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas tells us about the four umrahs that the Prophet Muhammad performed in his lifetime. An umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia that can be undertaken at any time of the year. It is a sacred journey for Muslims and involves rituals such as circling around the Kaaba seven times, walking between two hills called Safa and Marwah seven times, and shaving or cutting one's hair. The first umrah was known as 'Umrat al-Hudaybiyyah', which was done during a peace treaty with Quraysh tribe in 628 CE. The second one was done when they agreed to perform it again next year; this happened after they were prevented from performing it due to war with Quraysh tribe earlier on. The third one was done from al-Ji'ranah which is a place where pilgrims cut their hair or nails before returning home from their pilgrimage journey. Lastly, he combined his fourth umrah with hajj which is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that all able-bodied Muslims must undertake at least once in their life if they can afford it financially and physically. This hadith teaches us about the importance of fulfilling our religious obligations even if we are facing difficulties or obstacles along our way; it also reminds us how devoted our beloved prophet was towards fulfilling his religious duties despite all odds he faced during his lifetime.
