Hadith 4332
اُردوEn
عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْمُلُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَمْشِي أَرْبَعًا وَيَزْعُمُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ وَكَانَ يَمْشِي مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَمْشِي مَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَيَكُونَ أَيْسَرَ لِاسْتِلَامِهِ
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to perform raml (brisk walking) in the first three circuits of tawaf and walk at a normal pace in the remaining circuits, and he used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to do the same. Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to walk at a normal pace between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. Nafi‘ said: He used to walk between these two so that it would be easier to perform istilam (touching or gesturing) of the Black Stone.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … According to Imam Nafi‘, the reason for walking normally from the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani) to the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) is to make it easier to perform istilam (touching or gesturing towards) the Black Stone. This is the personal understanding of Nafi‘. However, here the reason for walking normally was to become concealed from the polytheists, as has already been clarified in the first hadith of this chapter.
