Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 70
It was
narrated from Jabir that the Prophet (ﷺ) walked briskly
(Ramala),
from the Hijr to the Hijr, three times, then he walked
normally for
four.
It was narrated from Nafi’, from Ibn ‘Umar that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Tawaf around the House for the first time, he walked briskly with short steps in the first three circuits, and walked normally in the last four, starting and ending at the Hijr.* And Ibn ‘Umar used to do that.
“I heard ‘Umar say: ‘Why do they perform Ramal now, when Allah has established Islam and done away with disbelief and its people? By Allah,* we will not give up something that we used to do at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’”
