حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَکُنْتُمْ تَکْرَهُونَ السَّعْيَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ لِأَنَّهَا کَانَتْ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ حَتَّی أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوْ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1648
Narrated `Asim: I asked Anas bin Malik: "Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, till Allah revealed: 'Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka`ba, or performs `Umra, to perform Tawaf between them.' " (2.158)
