أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ , فَقَالَ : " إِنْ أَمْشِي فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي ، وَإِنْ أَسْعَى فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْعَى " .

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Running between the two green markers in the valley during the Sa’i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah is Sunnah.
➋ If a person is unable to run due to old age, illness, or weakness, then performing the Sa’i at a normal pace also fulfills the obligation.
➌ Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) mentioned his old age to clarify his excuse. This indicates that if there is no excuse, one should indeed run.
