حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ طَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَعْيًا وَإِنَّمَا طَافَ لِيُرِيَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قُوَّتَهُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ وَلِذَا أَحَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُرِيَ النَّاسَ قُوَّتَهُ

It was narrated that Ibn Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) circumambulated (the Ka'bah) seven times, walking quickly, and he only did that to show the tnushrikeen his strength. ' Affan said: Because the Messengerof Allah (PBUH) liked to show the people his strength.
