Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 3080

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنِى أَبِى قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا أَرَى عَلَىَّ جُنَاحًا أَنْ لاَ أَتَطَوَّفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ. قَالَتْ لِمَ قُلْتُ لأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ) الآيَةَ. فَقَالَتْ لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَانَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا. إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ هَذَا فِى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا إِذَا أَهَلُّوا أَهَلُّوا لِمَنَاةَ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا مَعَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِلْحَجِّ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هَذِهِ الآيَةَ فَلَعَمْرِى مَا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ حَجَّ مَنْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ.

Hisham bin Urwah said: My father told me: I said to Aishah: “I do not think there is any sin on me if I do not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.” She said: “Why?” I said: “Because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says: ‘Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah …’ –mentioning the verse. She said: “if it was as u say, then it would be: ‘It is not a sin on him if he does not go between them.’ This was revealed concerning some of the Ansar who, when they entered Ihram during the Jahiliyyah, they entered Ihram for Manat, and they thought that it was not permissible for them to go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. When they came with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) for Hajj, they mentioned that to him, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed this verse. By Allah, a person’s Hajj is not complete if he does not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.””
