864. Kathīr bin Jumhān said: "I saw Ibn 'Umar walking at the place of Sa'ī so I said to him: 'Do you walk at the place of Sa'ī between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah?' He said: 'If I performed Sa'ī, then it is because I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ performing Sa'ī there, and if I walked, then it is because I have seen the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ walking. And I am an old man.'" (Hasan)
٨٦٤ - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ» ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَمْشِي فِي السَّعْيِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَتَمْشِي فِي السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ؟ قَالَ: لَئِنْ سَعَيْتُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْعَى، وَلَئِنْ مَشَيْتُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي، وَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَرُوِيَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ نَحْوُهُ.

There was a dip between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah. This dip no longer exists after the passage of time, but its location between the two hills is marked by green lights in the present age. Running or walking quickly between these two hills is said to be due to three reasons. 1) to show the power to disbelievers of Makkah. 2.) Sunnah of Ibrāhīm ﷺ because he ran on this spot to run from Iblīs. 3.) To remember the run of Hajar. (Ma'arif As-Sunan. V. 6 p. 157.) See number 902, where the actual reason is given.
