[3055] 237 - (1264) It wasnarrated that Abû Aṭ-Ṭufail said:"I said to Ibn 'Abbâs: 'Do youthink that this walking rapidlyaround the House for (the first)three circuits and walking normallyfor four is Sunnah? For yourpeople are saying that it is Sunnah.'He said: 'They are telling the truthand they are lying.' I said: 'Whatdo you mean, they are telling thetruth and they are lying?' He said:'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came
to Makkah and the idolators said: "Muhammad and his Companions will not be able to circumambulate the House because they are unfit." They were jealous. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded them to walk rapidly in three circuits and to walk normally in four.' I said to him: 'Tell us about going between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah while riding - is it Sunnah? For your people are saying that it is Sunnah.' He said: 'They are telling the truth and they are lying.' I said: 'What do you mean, they are telling the truth and they are lying?' He said: 'The people had crowded around the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, saying: "This is Muhammad, this is Muhammad," until even the adolescent girls came out of their houses. People were not beaten to make way for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so when they crowded around him too much, he rode, but walking and walking rapidly are better.'"
