Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2719 — Reason why the Prophet walked briskly

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : الرَّمَلُ ثَلاثَةُ أَشْوَاطٍ بِالْبَيْتِ ، وَأَرْبَعَةٌ مَشْيًا ، إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ ، قَالَ : صَدَقُوا ، وَكَذَبُوا ، قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِهِ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ ، قَالُوا : انْظُرُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ لا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ مِنَ الْهُزَالِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَرُوهُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ "
Hazrat Abu Tufail narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that your people believe that performing raml (brisk walking) in three circuits of the Tawaf of the Ka'bah and walking at a normal pace in four circuits is Sunnah. He replied that they have spoken the truth, but part of what they say is incorrect. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah Mukarramah, and when the people of Makkah heard of his arrival, they said, "Look, Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions will not even be able to perform Tawaf of the Ka'bah due to weakness." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Show them the strength and power that they dislike."
