Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 3082

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمَّا سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَتَحَرَّجُ أَنْ نَطُوفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا) قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَدْ سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الطَّوَافَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ الطَّوَافَ بِهِمَا.

It was narrated that Ibn Shihab said: Urwah bin Az-Zubair said: ‘I asked Aishah …’ and he quoted a similar hadith (as no. 3081). H said in the hadith: “When they asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about that they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), we used to feel reluctant 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. 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). … ’ Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) established the going between them as Sunnah, so no one should forsake going between them.’”
