Kathir bin Jumhan says: I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) between Safa and Marwah walking at a normal pace and not running. When I asked him about this, he said: If I run, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) running here, and if I walk at a normal pace, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walking at a normal pace here as well, while now I have become old.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): On the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Tawaf of the House of Allah and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah while riding, so that the people could see him well and he (peace and blessings be upon him) could guide all the people properly, and so that people could ask him questions, and they were crowding around him (peace and blessings be upon him).

Abu Tufail says: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): Tell me about riding during the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, because your people consider it a Sunnah. He said: Their statement is correct to some extent and incorrect to some extent. I said: What is the meaning of their statement being correct to some extent and incorrect to some extent? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, and all the people also came, even the young girls came, and no one was prevented from coming to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), (but the crowd was very large), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawaf and Sa’i on a mount, otherwise he preferred to dismount and perform this act on foot.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand on Safa, he would say "Allahu Akbar" three times, then recite this supplication three times: "La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, ... wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer." In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would do this three times and supplicate each time, then on Marwah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would repeat the same action.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to go and stand on Safa and Marwah, and Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, also used to command to stand at such a place on both of them from where the House of Allah could be seen.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards Safa and recited this verse: {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْـمَـرْوَۃَ مِـنْ شَعَائِرِ اللّٰہِ} (Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah) (Surah Al-Baqarah: 158). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We will also begin from the place which Allah Almighty mentioned first. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended Safa until the House of Allah became visible to him. There, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Allahu Akbar" and recited this supplication: "La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, ... wa ghalabal ahzaba wahdahu." After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplications there, then descended, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the middle of the valley, he began to run, until when he crossed the valley and started to ascend Marwah, he resumed walking at a normal pace. When he reached the top of Marwah and the House of Allah became visible to him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same as he had done at Safa.

Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: We set out for Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Farewell Pilgrimage. Some of us had put on the Ihram for Hajj and some had put on the Ihram for Umrah, but they had sacrificial animals with them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who have put on the Ihram for Umrah and do not have a sacrificial animal with them should complete their Umrah and come out of Ihram, and those who have put on the Ihram for Umrah but have a sacrificial animal with them should not come out of Ihram, and those who have put on the Ihram for Hajj should complete their Hajj. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was among those who had put on the Ihram for Umrah.

(Second chain) It is stated in this: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And whoever has entered into the state of Ihram for Umrah, and after performing the Tawaf of the House of Allah and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, has had his hair cut, he is free from the restrictions of Ihram, and he will enter into Ihram anew for Hajj.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed her to become lawful (halal) during the occasion of Hajj.

It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his wives to become lawful (i.e., come out of the state of Ihram) after performing Umrah, they said: O Messenger of Allah! What is preventing you from becoming lawful along with us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have the sacrificial animal with me and I have applied oil to my hair, so I will not become lawful until I have performed the sacrifice.
