حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي وَبَرَةُ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَيَصْلُحُ أَنْ أَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَأَنَا مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ فُلَانًا يَنْهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ مِنْ الْمَوْقِفِ وَرَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مَالَتْ بِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَأَنْتَ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَسُنَّةُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَرَسُولِهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُتَّبَعَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ ابْنِ فُلَانٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5194
Wabarah narrated: A man came to rbn 'Umar and said: Is it right for me to circumambulate the House when I am in Hiram? He said: What is stopping you? He said: So and so told us not to do that until the people come back from the place of standing, but I thought that pe r haps he is tempted by this world, and you are dearer to us than him. Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) performed Hajj, circumambulated the House and went between as-Safa and al-Marwah, and the way of Allah and His Messenger is more deseying of being followed than the way of so and so, if you are sincere.
