حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ : ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ ، يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا أَرَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ شَيْئًا ، وَمَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَطُوفَ بَيْنَهُمَا ، قَالَتْ : " بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ، طَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَطَافَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي بِالْمُشَلَّلِ ، لَا يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ سَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا سورة البقرة آية 158 ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا تَقُولُ ، لَكَانَتْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا " ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ هَذَا الْعِلْمُ ، وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ : إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ لَا يَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ ، يَقُولُونَ : إِنَّ طَوَافَنَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْحَجَرَيْنِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : إِنَّمَا أُمِرْنَا بِالطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ ، وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ سورة البقرة آية 158 ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : فَأُرَاهَا قَدْ نَزَلَتْ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ .
'Urwa bin Zabair reported: I said to 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) : I do not see any (fault) in one who does not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah, and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate between them, whereupon she said: O, the son of my sister, what you say is wrong. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observed Sa'i and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet (ﷺ). And it was a common practice (with the pagan Arabs) that those who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched al-Manat, situated at Mushalla, did not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. With the advent of Islam, we asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) about this practice, and (it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performed Hajj or 'Umrah it is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And if it were as you state, (then the wording would have been): "There is no harm for him, that he should not circumambulate round them." Zuhri said: I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham; he was impressed by that and said: This is what is called knowledge. And I have heard many a scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah said: Our circumambulation between these two hills is an act of ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have been commanded to circumambulate the House, and not Commanded to run between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed thia verse: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah." Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman said: I think that this (verse) has been revealed for such and such (persons).
