1790. Narrated 'Urwa: While I was a youngster, I asked 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, "What about the meaning of the Statement of Allāh تعالى '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 of the House (Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the Tawāf [Sā'y (going)] between them?' (V.2:158) I understand (from that) that there is no sin if somebody does not perform the Tawāf between them." 'Aishah replied, "No, for if it were as you are saying, then the recitation would have been like this: 'It is not sinful not to perform Tawāf between them.' This Verse was revealed in connection with the Anṣār who used to assume the Ihrām for the idol Manāt which was put beside a place called Qudaid and those people thought it not right to perform the Tawāf of Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa. When Islām came, they asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about that, and 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 Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform Tawāf [Sā'y (going)] between them.'" (V.2:158) Sufyān and Abū Mu'āwiya added: Hishām added (from 'Aishah): "The Hajj or 'Umra of the person who does not perform the Tawāf between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa is incomplete before Allāh."

1790 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا - زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ -: أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ} [البقرة: 158] اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ البَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا، فَلاَ 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 تَعَالَى ": {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ البَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} [البقرة: 158]، زَادَ سُفْيَانُ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ: «مَا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ حَجَّ امْرِئٍ، وَلاَ عُمْرَتَهُ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةِ»
