Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Once, while the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah, he passed by a person who had tied his hand with a rope and given the other end (of the rope) into another person's hand, or perhaps it was something else. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) cut it and said: You (hold his hand and take him along).

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I complained to the Prophet (peace be upon him) that I was ill, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Perform Tawaf riding behind the people. Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: So I performed Tawaf. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was at that time facing the side of the Ka'bah and offering prayer; he was reciting Surah At-Tur.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: We set out with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and our intention was only to perform Hajj. When we reached the place of Sarif, I began menstruating. The Prophet (peace be upon him) came to me and I was crying. He asked: What has happened to you, have you started menstruating? I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This is a thing which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. You should do all the rituals that a pilgrim does, except that you should not perform the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah). Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace be upon him) sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I came to Makkah while I was menstruating. I did not perform the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah) nor the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. I complained about this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do all the acts that a pilgrim does, except do not perform the Tawaf of the House until you become pure.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Circumambulating the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) is also like performing prayer, except that Allah the Exalted has permitted talking during it. So whoever speaks (while performing tawaf), he should only speak good words."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) drank Zamzam water during Tawaf.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I presented Zamzam water to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he drank it. He drank it while standing.

Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father (Urwah bin Zubair): I said to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I was young in those days. What is your opinion about the statement of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them." I think that if someone does not perform the Sa'i between them, there is no harm upon him. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It is not so at all. If it were as you say, then the verse should have been: "There is no sin upon the one who does not perform their Sa'i." (Then Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, explained:) This verse was revealed about some of the Ansar who used to assume Ihram for the idol called Manat. Those people felt it was objectionable to perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. When Islam came, people asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them. And whoever does good voluntarily, then indeed Allah is Appreciative and All-Knowing."

Urwah bin Zubair narrates: I asked the noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I said to her: What is your opinion about the statement of Allah Almighty? "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them." I think that if someone does not perform the Sa'i between them, there is no harm upon him. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Absolutely not, if it were as you say, then the verse would have been: "There is no sin upon him who does not walk between them." (Then Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, explained:) This verse was revealed about some of the Ansar who used to assume Ihram for Manat (an idol). They felt it was wrong to perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. When Islam came, people asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about this, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them. And whoever does good voluntarily, then indeed, Allah is Appreciative and Knowing."

Urwah bin Zubair narrates: I asked the noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I said to her: What is your opinion about the statement of Allah Almighty? "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah," this verse until its end. I said to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): By Allah! There is no sin upon the one who does not perform the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. So Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O my nephew! You have said a very wrong thing about this verse. If it meant what you are saying, then the verse should have been: "There is no sin upon him if he does not walk between them." In fact, this verse was revealed about the Ansar who, before accepting Islam, used to assume Ihram in the name of Manat, the false deity. These people used to worship it near Mushallal. Whoever assumed Ihram in its name considered it a sin to perform the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. When people asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about this, they said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! We used to consider it a sin to perform the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared the Sa'i between them as Sunnah, so now it is not permissible for anyone to abandon the Sa'i between them.

Zuhri says: I took this narration to Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman, the narration which Urwah narrated to me from Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman said: This is indeed knowledge; I had not heard this before. I had previously heard some scholars say that everyone used to perform the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, except those whom Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned, who used to take sacrificial animals in the name of Manat. When Allah Almighty mentioned the Tawaf of the House in the Qur'an and did not mention the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah (people became confused about this), so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, so whoever performs Hajj to the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them." Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman said: So I heard that this verse was revealed about both groups: those who, in the time of ignorance, used to perform the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, so they considered it a sin in Islam, thinking that Allah Almighty has commanded us to perform Tawaf of the House and has not mentioned Safa and Marwah. This was at the time when Allah Almighty had only mentioned the Tawaf of the House.

Aamir bin Wathilah narrates: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): Your people say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed ramal and that this is Sunnah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: They have stated some things correctly and some things incorrectly. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered Makkah, the polytheists were present at Qaiqan. They were talking among themselves, mocking the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions (saying that they are weak people). So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed ramal and ordered his companions to do ramal as well. (Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) This is not Sunnah.
