Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35864"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham Ibn Urwa that his father said; Once when I was young I said to Aisha; umm Almuminin; Have you seen the saying of Allah; the Blessed and Exalted; Safa and Marwa are among the waymarks of Allah; so whoever does hajj or umra to the House; there is no harm in his going between them; so it follows that there should be no harm for some one who does not go between them. Aisha said; No. If it were as you say; there would be no harm in his not going between them. This ayat was only revealed about the Ansar. They used to make pilgrimage to Manat; and Manat was an idol near Qudayd; and they used to avoid going between Safa and Marwa; and when Islam came they asked the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; about this and Allah; the Blessed and Exalted; revealed; Safa and Marwa are among the waymarks of Allah; so whoever does hajj or umra to the House; there is no harm in his going between them.
