Urwa b. Zabair reported:I said to 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ): I do not see any (fault) in one who does not circumambl" te between al-Safa' and al-Marwa, and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate between them, whereupon she said: O, the son of my sister, what you say is wrong. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observed Sa'i and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet). And it was a common practice (with the pagan Arabs) that those who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched al-Manat, situated at Mushalla, did not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. With the advent of Islam, we asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) about this practice, and (it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performed Hajj or 'Umra it is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And if it were as you state, (then the wording would have been):" There is no harm for him, that he should not circumambulate round them." Zuhri said: I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al- Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham; he was impressed by that and said: This is what is called knowledge. And I have heard many a scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwa caid: Our circumambulation between these two hills is an act of ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have been commanded to circumambulate the House, and not Commanded to run between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed thia verse:" Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah." Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman said: I think that this (verse) has been revealed for such and such (persons)

حدثنا عمرو الناقد، وابن ابي عمر، جميعا عن ابن عيينة، - قال ابن ابي عمر حدثنا سفيان، - قال سمعت الزهري، يحدث عن عروة بن الزبير، قال قلت لعايشة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما ارى على احد لم يطف بين الصفا والمروة شييا وما ابالي ان لا اطوف بينهما . قالت بيس ما قلت يا ابن اختي طاف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وطاف المسلمون فكانت سنة وانما كان من اهل لمناة الطاغية التي بالمشلل لا يطوفون بين الصفا والمروة فلما كان الاسلام سالنا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ذلك فانزل الله عز وجل { ان الصفا والمروة من شعاير الله فمن حج البيت او اعتمر فلا جناح عليه ان يطوف بهما} ولو كانت كما تقول لكانت فلا جناح عليه ان لا يطوف بهما . قال الزهري فذكرت ذلك لابي بكر بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام فاعجبه ذلك . وقال ان هذا العلم . ولقد سمعت رجالا من اهل العلم يقولون انما كان من لا يطوف بين الصفا والمروة من العرب يقولون ان طوافنا بين هذين الحجرين من امر الجاهلية . وقال اخرون من الانصار انما امرنا بالطواف بالبيت ولم نومر به بين الصفا والمروة فانزل الله عز وجل { ان الصفا والمروة من شعاير الله} . قال ابو بكر بن عبد الرحمن فاراها قد نزلت في هولاء وهولاء
