15. The Book of Pilgrimage
١٥۔ كتاب الحج
I asked Ibn ʿUmar, "Can a person who has performed the Tawaf around the Kaʿba for ʿUmra but has not performed the (Saʿi) Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, have a sexual relation with his wife?" Ibn ʿUmar replied "When the Prophet ﷺ reached Mecca he performed the Tawaf around the Kaʿba (circumambulated it seven times) and offered a two-rakʿat prayer (at the place) behind the station (of Abraham) and then performed the Tawaf (Saʿi) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in Messenger of Allah ﷺ you have a good example." Then we put the same question to Jabir bin ʿAbdullah and he too replied, "He should not go near his wife (for sexual relation) till he has finished the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa."
عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ الْعُمْرَةَ وَلَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَيَأْتِي امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا وَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ وَسَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْرَبَنَّهَا حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ
