English

[30801 260 – ( … ) Hishâm bin 'Urwah said: My father told me: I said to 'Aishah: "I do not think there is any sin on me if I do not go between As-Safâ and Al- Marwah." She said: "Why?" I said: "Because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: "Verily, As-Safâ and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah… ,[1] -mentioning the verse. She said: "If it was as you say, then it would be: 'It is not a sin on him if he does not go between them.' This was revealed concerning some of the Ansâr who, when they entered Ihrâm during the Jâhiliyyah, they entered Ihrâm for Manât, and they thought that it was not permissible for them to go between As-Safa and A1-Marwah. When they came with the Prophet for Hajj, they mentioned that to him, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed this verse. By Allah, a person's IIajj is not complete if he does not go between A-Safa and Al- Marwah." A1-Baqarah 2:158.
