Hadith 4327

عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، وَقَدْ وَهَنَتْهُمْ حُمَّى يَثْرِبَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: إِنَّهُ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَوْمٌ قَدْ وَهَنَتْهُمُ الْحُمَّى، قَالَ: فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا، وَقَعَدَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَاحِيَةَ الْحِجْرِ، يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَمَلُوا وَمَشَوْا مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الْحُمَّى وَهَنَتْهُمْ، هَؤُلَاءِ أَقْوَى مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ذَكَرُوا قَوْلَهُمْ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا الْأَشْوَاطَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا إِبْقَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the noble Companions arrived in Makkah Mukarramah. Due to the fever of Yathrib, these people had become weak. The polytheists began to say among themselves that people are coming to them who have been made feeble and weak by fever. Meanwhile, Allah Almighty informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of their words. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the Companions to perform ramal (brisk walking) during tawaf. The polytheists sat towards Hatim watching them. Thus, the Muslims performed ramal during tawaf, but between Rukn Yamani and Hajar Aswad, they walked at a normal pace. Seeing them, the polytheists began to say: These are the people about whom you said that fever had made them weak; they are indeed very strong. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Out of compassion for the Companions, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order them to perform ramal in all the circuits.
