(12). 2965. Az-Zuhrī narrated that 'Urwah said: "I said to 'Aīshah: 'I do not see anything wrong if someone does not go between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah, nor any harm if I do not go between them.' She said: 'How horrible is what you have said O my nephew! The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would go between them, and the Muslims go between them. It was only that the people who assumed Iḥrām in the name of the false deity Mannāh, which was in Al-Mushallal, would not go between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah. So, Allāh Blessed and Most High revealed: So it is not a sin for those who perform Hajj or 'Umrah to the House to go between them.[1] And if it were as you say, then it would be: "Then there is no harm on him if he does not go between them." Az-Zuhṛī said: "I mentioned that to Abū Bakr bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Hārīth bin Hishām. He was surprised at that and he said: 'Indeed this is knowledge. I had heard some men among the people of knowledge saying that those Arabs who would not go between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah said, that going between these two rocks is a matter from Jāhiliyyah. And others among the Anṣār said: "We have only been ordered with going around the House, we were not ordered to do so with Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah." So Allāh Most High revealed: Indeed Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah are of the symbols of Allāh.'[2] Abū Bakr bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān said: 'So I thought that it was revealed about these people, and those people.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

٢٩٦٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌الزُّهْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‌عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: «قُلْتُ ‌لِعَائِشَةَ : مَا أَرَى عَلَى أَحَدٍ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا» وَالْمَرْوَةِ شَيْئًا، وَمَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَطَّوَّفَ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَقَالَتْ: بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي، طَافَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَطَافَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ لِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي بِالْمُشَلَّلِ لَا يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا} وَلَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا تَقُولُ، لَكَانَتْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَعِلْمٌ، وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ لَا يَطَّوَّفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ طَوَافَنَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْحَجَرَيْنِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: إِنَّمَا أُمِرْنَا بِالطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ} قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَأُرَاهَا قَدْ نَزَلَتْ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Sa'i is a pillar of Hajj according to the majority, Hajj is not valid without it. Imām Ash-Shāfi'i has the same opinion, and also a known statement of Imām Mālik, the most authentic saying of Imām Aḥmad, Imām Ishāq and Abū Thawr hold exactly the same opinion. According to Imām Abū Ḥanīfah and Ath-Thawrī, Sa'i is Wājib, if missed it can be expiated by offering a sacrifice.
