أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ ابْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مَکَّةَ قَالَ الْمُشْرِکُونَ وَهَنَتْهُمْ حُمَّی يَثْرِبَ وَلَقُوا مِنْهَا شَرًّا فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَی ذَلِکَ فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا وَأَنْ يَمْشُوا مَا بَيْنَ الرُّکْنَيْنِ وَکَانَ الْمُشْرِکُونَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْحِجْرِ فَقَالُوا لَهَؤُلَائِ أَجْلَدُ مِنْ کَذَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2952
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and his Companions came to Makkah, the idolaters said: ‘The fever of Yathrib has weakened them, and they have suffered a great deal because of it.’ Allah informed His Prophet about that, so he told his Companions to walk rapidly, and to walk (at a normal pace) between the two corners, and the idolaters were on the side of the Stone. They said: ‘They are stronger than such and such.” (Sahih)
