( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ:
أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: أَبْدَأُ بِالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ، أَوْ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا ؟ وَأُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَطُوفَ، أَوْ أَطُوفُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ ؟ وَأَحْلِقُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ، أَوْ أَذْبَحُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَحْلِقَ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: خُذْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُحْفَظَ، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ فَالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ، وَقَالَ تَعَالَى: وَلا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ الذَّبْحُ قَبْلَ الْحَلْقِ، وَقَالَ: تَعَالَى وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَائِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ الطَّوَافُ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ

A man came to him and said: "Shall I begin with al-Ṣafā before al-Marwah, or with al-Marwah before al-Ṣafā? And shall I pray before I perform ṭawāf, or perform ṭawāf before I pray? And shall I shave before I slaughter, or slaughter before I shave?" Ibn ʿAbbās said: "Take that from the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for it is more fitting to be remembered. Allah the Exalted said: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ, so al-Ṣafā is before al-Marwah. And He the Exalted said: وَلا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ, so slaughtering is before shaving. And He the Exalted said: وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَائِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ, so ṭawāf is before prayer."
