English translation

1901. It was reported from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, that one day, when he was young, he asked 'Āishah, regarding the statement of Allāh: Verily, Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allāh...[1] "(Based on this), I don't see any penalty upon a person if he does not perform Tawāf between them."[2] 'Āishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, replied: "No, had the (meaning) been as you imply, it would have been: '...there is no sin upon him if he does not walk between them.' This Verse was revealed regarding the Anṣār. They would (before Islam) begin their Talbiyah (for Hajj) for Manāh, and Manāh was in the direction of Qudaid. And they would feel uncomfortable with walking between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, so when Islam came, they asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it. So Allāh revealed: Verily, Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allāh...." (Sahih)

1901 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة: 158] فَمَا أَرَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: كَلَّا لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ: كَانَتْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ وَكَانَتْ مَنَاةُ حَذْوَ قُدَيْدٍ، وَكَانُوا يَتَحَرَّجُونَ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة: 158]

Commentary

One cannot gain the correct knowledge of the Qur'an by merely mastering the Arabic language alone, rather it is required that one learn the Sunnah.
