'Urwa bin Zabair reported: I said to 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): I do not see any (fault) in one who does not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah, 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed Sa'i and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). 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-Marwah. With the advent of Islam, we asked Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about this practice, and (it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performed Hajj or 'Umrah 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 (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin 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-Marwah said: 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-Marwah. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed thia verse: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah." Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman said: I think that this (verse) has been revealed for such and such (persons).

'Urwa bin Zubair reported: I asked 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her); the rest of the hadith is the same. And in this hadith (these words are also found): "When they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )) asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about this, they said: Messenger of Allah, we felt reluctant to circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse:" Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah so he who perform Hajj or 'Umrah it is no sin on him if he should circumambulate between them. 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) laid down this Sa'i between them as Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )). So it is not advisable for anyone to abandon this Sa'i between them.

'Urwa bin Zabair narrated on the authority of 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) who informed him that the Ansar and the people of the tribe of Ghassan before embracing Islam pronounced Talbiya for Manat, and so they avoided circumambulating between al-Safa' and al-Marwah, and it was a common practice with their forefather, that he who put on Ihram for Manat did not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. And when they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about it, and then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah"; so he who performs Hajj or 'Umrah, for him there is no harm if he should circumambulate between them, and he who does good spontaneously-surely Allah is Bountiful in rewarding and Knowing.

Anas (RA) reported that the Ansar felt reluctant that they should circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah until it was revealed: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah"; so whoever performs Hajj or 'Umrah, for him there is no harm that he should circumambulate between them.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and his Companions did not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwah but only one Sa'i.

Ibn Juraij reported on the same authority a hadith like that, and said: But one Tawaf and that was the first Tawaf.

Usama bin Zaid (RA) reported: I was sitting behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the riding animal from 'Arafat. As Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reached the left side of the mountain which was situated near Muzdalifa, he made the camel kneel down and made water and then came back. I poured water and he performed light ablution. I then said: Messenger of Allah, it is time for prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The prayer awaits you (at the next station, Muzdalifa). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) rode on until he came to Muzdalifa and observed prayer. Then al-Fadl (RA) sat behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and reached (Muzdalifa) in the morning. Kuraib said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) narrated from al-Fadl (RA) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) continued pronouncing Talbiya until he reached al-Jamara (al-'Aqabahh).

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) made al-Fadl sit behind him (on the camel back) from the place (where the two prayers) are combined (Muzdalifa). Ibn Abbas (RA) also informed that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not stop pronouncing Talbiya till he threw pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabahh.

Ibn 'Abbas narrated from al-Fadl bin Abbas (RA) who sat behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he (the Holy Prophet) said to the people on the evening of 'Arafa and on the morning to the gathering of people (at Muzdalifa) as they were pushing on to proceed slowly. And he himself drove his she-camel with restraint until he entered Muhassir (it is a place in Mina), and further told them to take up pebbles which were to be thrown at Jamra. And Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abd Zubair with the same chain of transmitters but with this variation that in the hadith no mention is made of (this) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) continued pronouncing Talbiya till he stoned the Jamra, and he made this addition in his hadith: "The Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) pointed with his hand how a person should catch hold of pebbles (in order to throw them)."
