4861. Narrated 'Urwa: I asked 'Āishah رضي الله عنها (regarding the Sa'y between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa). She said, "Out of reverence to the idol Manāt which was placed in Al-Mushallal, those (Al-Mushrikūn) who used to assume Iḥrām in its name, used not to perform Sa'y between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa,(1) so Allāh revealed: 'Verily! Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa (two mountains at Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allāh...' (V.2:158) "Thereupon, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the Muslims used to perform Sa'y (between them)." Sufyān said: The (idol) Manāt was at Al-Mushallal in Qudaid. 'Āishah added, "The Verse was revealed in connection with the Anṣār. They and (the tribe of) Ghassān used to assume Iḥrām in the name of Manāt before they embraced Islām." 'Āishah added, "There were men from the Anṣār who used to assume Iḥrām in the name of Manāt which was an idol between Makkah and Al-Madinah. They said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! We used not to perform the Tawāf (Sa'y) between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa out of reverence to Manāt.'" [٦٢]

4861 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ، قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ: " إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ بِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي بِالْمُشَلَّلِ، لاَ يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة: 158] فَطَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالمُسْلِمُونَ " قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: «مَنَاةُ بِالْمُشَلَّلِ مِنْ قُدَيْدٍ» وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «نَزَلَتْ فِي الأَنْصَارِ، كَانُوا هُمْ وَغَسَّانُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ مِثْلَهُ» وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يُهِلُّ لِمَنَاةَ - وَمَنَاةُ صَنَمٌ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالمَدِينَةِ - قَالُوا: «يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كُنَّا لاَ نَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةِ تَعْظِيمًا لِمَنَاةَ نَحْوَهُ» بَابُ {فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا} [النجم: 62]
