أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، أنبأ ابْنُ مِلْحَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} [البقرة: ١٥٨]؟ ⦗١٥٧⦘ فَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: وَاللهِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: " بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي، إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ لَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا أَوَّلْتَهَا كَانَتْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَلَكِنَّهَا إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ كَانُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ عِنْدَ الْمُشَلَّلِ وَكَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لَهَا يَتَحَرَّجُ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ} [البقرة: ١٥٨] الْآيَةَ "، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: " ثُمَّ قَدْ سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الطَّوَافَ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ الطَّوَافَ بِهِمَا ".
Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): What is your view of this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah" [Surah Al-Baqarah: 158]? I said: If someone does not go around Safa and Marwah, there is no blame on him. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: My nephew! What you have said is very wrong. If this verse meant what you have taken it to mean, the verse would have read: "Then there is no sin upon him if he does not go around them both." Rather, it was revealed concerning the Ansar: before accepting Islam they used to recite the talbiyah for Manat, the false deity, which they used to worship near al-Mushallal, and whoever recited the talbiyah for it would feel it sinful to go around Safa and Marwah. So when they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah." [Surah Al-Baqarah: 158] Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made going around between them both a prescribed practice, so it is not permissible for anyone to leave out going around them." [Sahih. Malik: 832]
