Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 105
“My father told me: ‘I
said to ‘Aishah: “I do not think there is any sin on me if I do
not
perform Tawaf* between Safa and Marwah.” She said: “Allah
says:
‘Verily, Safa and Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So it
is not a
sin on him who performs Hajj or ‘Umrah of the House to
perform Tawaf
between them.’” If the matter were as you
say, then it would
have said, ‘it is not a sin on him to not
perform the Sa’y between
them.’ Rather this was revealed
concerning some people among the Ansar
who previously, when they
stated the Talbiyah, they used to recite it
for Manat, and it was not
lawful for them to perform Sa’y between Safa
and Marwah. When they
arrived with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Hajj, they
mentioned that to him,
and Allah revealed this Verse. By Allah, Allah
will not accept the
Hajj as complete if one who does not perform Sa’y
between Safa and
Marwah.’”
