2987 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ وَلَدٍ لِشَيْبَةَ، قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا، وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يُقْطَعُ الْأَبْطَحُ، إِلَّا شَدًّا»

Commentary
Abtah (earth of small pebbles) means the valley, which is between Safa and Marwah. Now the place of Sa'y is leveled and changed into a smooth road. The area which was a plane at the time of the Prophet ﷺ is now highlighted by the green markers. They are called the two green milestones; jogging between them is recommended and the remaining distance should be completed by a normal walk. Sa'y could be performed on the upper floor of the present building, the place of jogging, there too, is marked by green color.
