عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَفْتِلُ قَلَائِدَ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدَيَّ ثُمَّ لَا يَعْتَزِلُ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَتْرُكُهُ إِنَّا لَا نَعْلَمُ الْحَرَامَ يُحِلُّهُ إِلَّا الطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ
Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I used to braid the garlands for the sacrificial animals of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own hands, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would neither keep away from anything nor leave it. We only knew that the thing which makes the Muhrim lawful is the circumambulation (Tawaf) of the House of Allah (the Ka'bah).
