حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَقُلْتُ تَمْشِي فَقَالَ إِنْ أَمْشِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي وَإِنْ أَسْعَ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْعَى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5143
It was narrated that Katheer Ibn Juhmaan said: I saw Ibn Umar walking between s-Safa and al-Marwah, and I said: Are you walking? He said: If I walk, I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) walking and if I walk rapidly, I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) walking rapidly.
