حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ:

قَرَأْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ. قُلْتُ: مَا أَرَى عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ: بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ! إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي بِالْمُشَلَّلِ يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنِ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ طَوَافَنَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْحَجَرَيْنِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. قَالَتْ: فَنَزَلَتْ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ. قَالَتْ: فَطَافَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً. وَقَالَ غَيْرُهَا: قَالَ اللهُ: فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا. فَتَطَوَّعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَطَافَ. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَعِلْمٌ، وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ: سَأَلَ النَّاسُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! إِنَّا أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَطَّوَّفَ بِالْبَيْتِ، وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ أَنْ نَطَّوَّفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ

✧ I recited to 'A'ishah: 'Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah' (Quran 2:158). I said: I do not think there is any obligation upon one who does not perform Tawaf between them. She said: How bad is what you have said, O son of my sister! It was only those who entered ihram for Manat, the idol at Mushallal, who used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. When Islam came, they said: O Messenger of Allah, our Tawaf between these two stones is from the affairs of the Jahiliyyah. She said: Then the verse 'Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah' was revealed. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Tawaf, and it became a Sunnah. Someone other than her said: Allah said: 'So whoever does good voluntarily' (Quran 2:158). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did good voluntarily and performed Tawaf. Al-Zuhri said: I narrated this to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman, and he said: This is indeed knowledge. I have heard men of knowledge say: The people who used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa asked the Prophet ﷺ, saying: O Messenger of Allah, we were commanded to perform Tawaf around the House, but we were not commanded to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: 'Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah.'
