| SahihMuslim-017-001-22995 | | Urwa Bin Zabair reported: I said to Aisha; the wife of Allah Apostle ﷺ : I do not see any fault in one who does not circumambl te between AlSafa and AlMarwa; and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate between them; whereupon she said: O; the son of my sister; what you say is wrong. Allah Messenger ﷺ observed Sai and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah of the Prophet. And it was a common practice with the pagan Arabs that those who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched AlManat; situated at Mushalla; did not observe Sai between AlSafa and AlMarwa. With the advent of Islam; we asked Allah Apostle ﷺ about this practice; and it was on this occasion that Allah; the Exalted and Majestic; revealed this verse: Verily AlSafa and AlMarwa are among the Signs of Allah ; so he who performed Hajj or Umra it is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And if it were as you state; then the wording would have been : There is no harm for him; that he should not circumambulate round them. Zuhri said: I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr Bin Abdulrahman Bin AlHarith Bin Hisham; he was impressed by that and said: This is what is called knowledge. And I have heard many a scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not circumambulate between AlSafa and AlMarwa caid: Our circumambulation between these two hills is an act of ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have been commanded to circumambulate the House; and not Commanded to run between AlSafa and AlMarwa. So Allah; the Exalted and Majestic; revealed thia verse: Verily AlSafa and AlMarwa are among the Signs of Allah. Abu Bakr Bin Abdulrahman said: I think that this verse has been revealed for such and such persons. | The Chapter on The Tawaf And Saei in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 43 in Sahih Muslim |
