521 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، وَفِطْرٍ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَمَلَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ» وَإِنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا أَرَادَ فِطْرًا صَدَقُوا قَدْ رَمَلَ وَكَذَبُوا لَيْسَتْ بِسُنَّةٍ
Abu Tufail narrates: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): Some people of your tribe state that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ramal (brisk walking) at the House of Allah, and also performed ramal between Safa and Marwah, and that this is Sunnah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: These people have said something correct and something incorrect. The narrator Fitr has further narrated these words: They have spoken the truth that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ramal, but they have spoken incorrectly that it is Sunnah.
