857. Jābir narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ performed Raml from the (Black) Stone to the (Black) Stone for three (circuits), and he walked four (circuits)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(He said:) There is something about this from Ibn 'Umar.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth, and this is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "If he avoids Raml on purpose then he has committed an offense but nothing is required from him, and if he does not perform Raml for the three circuits then he is not to perform Raml in the rest." Some of the people of knowledge say that the people of Makkah, and those who assume Iḥrām in it, are not required to perform Raml.

Commentary
The beginning of Raml started in the 7th year of Hijrah at the time of performing 'Umratul-Qadā' in response to the sarcastic remarks of the disbelievers of Makkah that the Muslims have become weak due to the fever of Yathrib. They sat on the top of the hill known as Qiqā'an, to watch the
performance of Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ ordered the Muslims to show their strength and power by making Raml in first three circles from the Black Stone to the Yamānī corner, because the disbelievers were sitting on that side of Ka'bah.
