Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 3081

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ - قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِىَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَا أَرَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ شَيْئًا وَمَا أُبَالِى أَنْ لاَ أَطُوفَ بَيْنَهُمَا. قَالَتْ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِى طَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَطَافَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِى بِالْمُشَلَّلِ لاَ يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الإِسْلاَمُ سَأَلْنَا النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ( إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا) وَلَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَانَتْ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا. قَالَ الزُّهْرِىُّ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لأَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ. وَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعِلْمُ. وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رِجَالاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ لاَ يَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ طَوَافَنَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْحَجَرَيْنِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْنَا بِالطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ). قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأُرَاهَا قَدْ نَزَلَتْ فِى هَؤُلاَءِ وَهَؤُلاَءِ.

It was narrated that Urwah bin Az-Zubair said: “I said to Aishah, the wife of Prophet (SAW). ‘I do not think it matters if someone does not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, and I do not mind but I do not go between them.’ She said: “What a bad thing you have said, O son of my sister! The Messenger of Allah (SAW) went between them and so did the Muslims, and it became Sunnah (prescribed). Rather those who entered Ihram for the false goddess Manat who was in Al-Mushallal did not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. When Islam came, we asked the Prophet (SAW) about that, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umrah of the House to perform the going (Tawaf) between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwah) …” If it was as you say, it would be: ‘it is not a sin on him if he does not go between them.’” ” Az-Zuhri said: “I mentioned that to Abu Bakr bin Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham, and he was impressed by it, and said: “This is knowledge. I heard some of the scholars say: “Those among the Arabs who did not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah said that going between these two rocks was a matter of Jahiliyyah. Others among the Ansar said: ‘We are only commanded to circumambulate the House, and we are not commanded to go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.’ Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah …’””” Abu Bakr bin Abdur-Rahman said: “I think that it was revealed concerning both groups.”
