4495. Narrated 'Urwa: I said to 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and I was at that time a young boy, "How do you interpret the Statement of Allāh تبارك وتعالى: 'Verily, Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allāh. So, it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umra (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawāf) between them. (Aṣ-Ṣafa and Al-Marwa).' In my opinion it is not sinful for one not to ambulate (Tawāf) between them." 'Āishah said, "Your interpretation is wrong, for as you say, the Verse should have been: "So it is not a sin on him who performs the Hajj or Umra to the House, not to perform the going (Tawāf) between them.' This Verse was revealed in connection with the Anṣār who (during the pre-Islāmic period) used to visit Manāt (i.e., an idol) after assuming their Iḥrām, and it was situated near Qudaid (i.e., a place near Makkah), and they used to regard it sinful to ambulate between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa(1), after embracing Islām. When Islām came (i.e., after they embraced Islam), they asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about it, whereupon Allāh revealed:- 'Verily! Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allāh. So, it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umra (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawāf) between them (Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa)...'" (V.2:158)

4495 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ: أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ البَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ، فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} [البقرة: 158]. فَمَا أُرَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا؟ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " كَلَّا، لَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا تَقُولُ، كَانَتْ: فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا، إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِي الأَنْصَارِ، كَانُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ، وَكَانَتْ مَنَاةُ حَذْوَ قُدَيْدٍ، وَكَانُوا يَتَحَرَّجُونَ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الإِسْلاَمُ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ البَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} [البقرة: 158] "
