عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي تَجْزِئَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى دَارِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ فِي نِسْوَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، قَالَ: هُوَ يَسْعَى يَدُورُ بِهِ إِزَارُهُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ السَّعْيِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: ((اسْعَوْا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّعْيَ))
Narrated by Sayyida Habiba bint Abu Tajza’ (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: We, some Qurayshi women, went to the house of Abi Husayn and saw that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was running so much that his cloak was flying, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying to the companions: Run, run, indeed Allah Almighty has made Sa’i obligatory upon you.
