ahmad:2829Bahz > Hammām > Qatādah > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ circumambulated the Kaaba seven times and performed the Sa'i (walking between Safa and Marwa) with the intent that people may witness his strength.  

أحمد:٢٨٢٩حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا وَسَعَى سَعياً وَإِنَّمَا سَعَى أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُرِيَ النَّاسَ قُوَّتَهُ
