Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates from his father (Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, may Allah have mercy on him) the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him: "The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, performed ramal from the Hajar to the Hajar." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, performed ramal around the Ka'bah three times and walked at a normal pace four times. Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated this in the same way as it is transmitted from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, just as his students have narrated it. Whereas Imam Malik narrated this hadith in a brief manner. He did not mention that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, walked briskly in three circuits and walked at a normal pace in four circuits. So this ramal was due to a specific reason, and that reason was so that the polytheists could see that they were healthy people and there was no weakness among them. When that reason ended, the ruling of that reason remained as an obligation for the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, until the Day of Judgment.
