حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهَا: إِنِّي لأَظُنُّ رَجُلاً لَوْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ مَا ضَرَّهُ. قَالَتْ: لِمَ؟ قُلْتُ: لأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: ﴿ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ. فَقَالَتْ: مَا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ حَجَّ امْرِئٍ وَلاَ عُمْرَتَهُ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَانَ: فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا، وَهَلْ تَدْرِي فِيمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ؟ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ كَانُوا يُهِلُّونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لِصَنَمَيْنِ عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُمَا إِسَافٌ وَنَائِلَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَجِيئُونَ فَيَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، ثُمَّ يَحْلِقُونَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الإِسْلاَمُ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَهُمَا لِلَّذِي كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. قَالَتْ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ: ﴿ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ إِلَى آخِرِهَا. قَالَتْ: فَطَافُوا.

I said to her, “I think that if a man did not go between al-Safa and al-Marwah, it would not harm him.” She said, “Why?” I said, “Because Allah ﷻ says: "Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah," to the end of the ayah.” She said, “Allah has not completed the Hajj or Umrah of any person who did not go between al-Safa and al-Marwah. If it were as you say, it would have been: ‘There is no blame upon him if he does not go around between them.’ Do you know concerning what that was? It was only that the Ansar, in the time of Jahiliyyah, used to raise the talbiyah for two idols on the shore of the sea called Isaf and Nailah. Then they would come and go between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then shave their heads. When Islam came, they disliked going between them because of what they used to do in Jahiliyyah.” She said, “So Allah ﷻ revealed: "Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah," to the end of it.” She said, “So they went between them.”
