Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Ansar and the people of the Ghassan tribe, before accepting Islam, used to enter into Ihram in the name of the idol Manat. Therefore, they felt it objectionable to perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. And it was also their custom in those days that whoever entered into Ihram in the name of Manat would not perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. And when they became Muslims, they asked the Messenger of Allah, so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse «‏‏‏‏إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة البقرة: 108] “Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.”Hazrat Urwah says that Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that this is a Sunnah which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established and continued. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the correct view is the one narrated by Imam Yunus from Imam Zuhri, that those who entered into Ihram in the name of the idol Manat felt it objectionable to perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, not that they used to perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. As in the narration of Imam Ibn Uyaynah, the evidence for the correctness of Yunus’s narration is the narration of Hisham bin Urwah in this meaning, in which he has followed Yunus. I will mention Hisham bin Urwah’s narration in the next chapter, InshaAllah. The narration of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) is also evidence that before the revelation of this verse, it was only the Ansar who felt it objectionable to perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah.
