فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ⦗١٦٣⦘ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثنا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الرَّمَلَ بِالْبَيْتِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَطْوَافٍ وَمَشَى أَرْبَعَةً أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ؟ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا قَوْلُكَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: إنَّ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ مِنَ الْهَزَلِ "، قَالَ: " وَكَانُوا يَحْسُدُونَهُ "، قَالَ: " فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا ثَلَاثًا وَيَمْشُوا أَرْبَعًا "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الطَّوَافِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ رَاكِبًا أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ؟ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ، قَالَ: " صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا قَوْلُكَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَثُرَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ: هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَتَّى خَرَجْنَ الْعَوَاتِقُ مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ "، قَالَ: " وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُضْرَبُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ "، قَالَ: " فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ عَلَيْهِ رَكِبَ، وَالْمَشْيُ وَالسَّعْيُ أَفْضَلُ " لَفْظُ عِمْرَانَ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيِّ.
Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What is your view: is the tawaf of the House with raml (brisk walking) for three circuits and walking for four a Sunnah? Your people claim that it is a Sunnah." He said: "They have told the truth, and they have lied." I said: "What do you mean by 'They told the truth and they lied'?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, and the polytheists said that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions would not be able to perform the tawaf of the House because of weakness, and they used to envy him. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to do raml for three circuits and to walk for four." He said: I said: "Tell me about the tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwah: is doing it riding a Sunnah? Your people claim that it is a Sunnah." He said: "They have told the truth, and they have lied." I said: "What do you mean by saying they told the truth and lied?" He said: "The people crowded around the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: 'This is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)!' until even the young girls came out of the houses; and people were not pushed away from in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When they became too many, he rode; and walking and running are better." [Sahih: Muslim: 1264]
