The ʿUmrah of al-Jiʿrānah

Hammām narrated from Qatādah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four ʿumra, all of them in Dhu al-Qaʿdah except the one that accompanied his Hajj: the ʿumrah during—or, he said, from—al-Hudaybiyah in Dhu al-Qaʿdah; an ʿumrah, which I think he said took place the following year; the ʿumrah from al-Jiʿrānah, where he distributed the spoils of Hunayn, likewise in Dhu al-Qaʿdah; and the ʿumrah he performed together with his Hajj.

Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ travelled from al-Jiʿrānah in the state of ʿumrah and ordered that the remainder of the booty (fayʾ) be kept at Majinnah.
