Volume 2, Book 26, Number 722:
Narrated Salim:
‘Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn ‘Umar during Hajj. On the Day
of ‘Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn ‘Umar came along with me and shouted near Al-
Hajjaj’s cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with saf –
flower, and said, “O Abu Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?” He said, If you want to follow the
Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to ‘Arafat).” Al-Hajjaj asked, “At this very
hour?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “Yes.” He replied, “Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e.
take a bath) and come out.” Then Ibn ‘Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he
(Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn ‘Umar). I said to him, “If you want to follow the
Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at ‘Arafat.” He started looking at ‘Abdul –
lah (Ibn ‘Umar) (inquiringly), and when ‘Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 26: PILGRIMMAGE (HAJJ)
Ibn ‘Umar said, “When Allah’s Apostle performed the first Tawaf he did Ramal in the first three
rounds and then walked in the remaining four rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka’ba), where as in perform –
ing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa he used to run in the midst of the rain-water passage,” I asked
Nafi’, “Did ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar) use to walk steadily on reaching the Yemenite Corner?” He replied,
“No, unless people were crowded at the Corner; otherwise he would not leave it without touching it.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 723:
Narrated Um Al-Fadl bint Al Harith:
On the day of ‘Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full
of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 708:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Dinar:
We asked Ibn ‘Umar whether a man who, while performing ‘Umra, had performed Tawaf of the
Ka’ba; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have sexual relation with
his wife, Ibn ‘Umar replied “The Prophet (p.b.u.h) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds
(of Tawaf) of the Ka’ba and then offered a two-Rakat prayer behind Maqam ibrahim and then per –
formed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa.” He added, “Verily! In Allah’s Apostle
(p.b.u.h) you have a good example.” We asked Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (the same question) and he said,
“He (that man) should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and Mar –
wa.”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 709:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Dinar:
I heard Ibn ‘Umar saying, “The Prophet arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka’ba and

then recited (the verse): “Verily! In Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) you have a good example. “

Narrated ‘Asim:
I asked Anas bin Malik: “Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?” He
said, “Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, till Allah re –
vealed: ‘Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is
therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka’ba, or performs ‘Umra, to perform
Tawaf between them.’ ” (2.158)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 711:

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 712:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka’ba, nor the
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. Then I informed Allah’s Apostle about it. He replied, “Perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka’ba till you get clean
(from your menses).”
