[Machine] The saying of Allah, "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them." [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158]. So I said to 'Aisha, "By Allah, no one is obliged not to walk between Safa and Marwa." 'Aisha said, "What a bad thing you have said, O nephew of my sister! If this verse was as you said it was, indeed it would be no blame on anyone that they do not walk between them. However, it was actually revealed about how the Ansar (people of Medina) used to perform tawaf around the idol Manat that they used to worship at Masahal. It was considered undesirable for anyone to perform tawaf between Safa and Marwa. When they asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, Allah revealed this verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah." [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158]. 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "And indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed tawaf between them.” So there is no blame upon anyone to leave tawaf around Safa and Marwa. 9360 Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us Abu 'Amr bin Abi Ja'far informed us Abdullah bin Muhammad informed us Muhammad bin Rafi' informed us Hujayn bin Al-Muthanna informed us Laith from 'Uqail from Ibn Shihab who mentioned the hadith in the same manner, and he added, "So I informed Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham about what 'Urwah narrated to me from 'Aisha." Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman said, "This knowledge and this order was not something I heard of. I have certainly heard men of knowledge saying that except for those who 'Aisha mentioned, those who used to perform tawaf around Safa and Marwa out of reverence for Masahal. Allah mentioned tawaf around the House, but He did not mention tawaf around Safa and Marwa. So O Messenger of Allah, do we need permission from you to perform tawaf around Safa and Marwa?" Then Allah revealed the Ayah: "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them." [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158]. Abu Bakr said, "Now I understand that this Ayah was revealed about both groups: those who were considered to be doing something undesirable during the time of Jahiliyyah by performing tawaf around Safa and Marwa, and those who used to perform tawaf around Safa and Marwa along with tawaf around the House, when it was mentioned."
