Hadith 25112

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَوُادَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا سورة البقرة آية 158 ؟ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ، قال : فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : بِئْسَمَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ، إِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ عَلَى مَا أَوَّلْتَهَا عليه ، كَانَتْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ، وَلَكِنَّهَا إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ كَانُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ عِنْدَ الْمُشَلَّلِ ، وَكَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لَهَا تَحَرَّجَ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ، فَسَأَلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا كُنَّا نَتَحَرَّجُ أَنْ نَطَّوَّفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا سورة البقرة آية 158 . قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : ثُمَّ قَدْ سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الطَّوَافَ بِهِمَا ، فَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَدَعَ الطَّوَافَ بِهِمَا .
Urwah says that once I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the command of Allah, "So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs Umrah, there is no blame upon him for walking between them." What does it mean? That if someone does not perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, there is no sin upon him? Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Nephew! You have said something incorrect. If the verse meant what you have stated, then it would have been revealed as: 'there is no blame upon him for not walking between them.' In fact, the reason for the revelation of this verse is that before accepting Islam, the people of Ansar used to enter into Ihram for 'Manat' and worshipped it near Mushallal, and whoever entered into Ihram for it considered Sa'i between Safa and Marwah to be a sin. Then they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), 'O Messenger of Allah! In the days of ignorance, people used to consider Sa'i between Safa and Marwah a sin. What is its ruling now?' Upon this, Allah revealed this verse, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) established the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah through his Sunnah. Therefore, now it is not correct for anyone to leave the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah."
