Sahih Muslim 1277e (Book 15, Hadith 289) #10224
Circumambulation Between Al-Safa' And Al-Marwa

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that before embracing Islam, the Ansar and the people of the tribe of Ghassan used to perform Talbiya for Manat and avoid circumambulating between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. After they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it, and Allah revealed a verse which stated that those who perform Hajj or Umra should not be harmed if they circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwa.

'Urwa b. Zabair narrated on the authority of 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) who informed him that the Ansar and the people of the tribe of Ghassan before embracing Islam pronounced Talbiya for Manat, and so they avoided circumambulating between al-Safa' and al-Marwa, and it was a common practice with their forefather, that he who put on Ihram for Manat did not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwa. And when they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger ﷺ about it, and then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse: " Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performs Hajj or Umra, for him there is no harm if he should circumambulate between them, and he who does good spontaneously-surely Allah is Bountiful in rewarding and Knowing.
وَحَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ كَانُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا هُمْ وَغَسَّانُ يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ فَتَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ سُنَّةً فِي آبَائِهِمْ مَنْ أَحْرَمَ لِمَنَاةَ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَإِنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ حِينَ أَسْلَمُوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ ‏{‏ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains an important lesson regarding performing Hajj or Umra. Before embracing Islam, the Ansar and people from Ghassan used to perform Talbiya for Manat but avoided circumambulating between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa as it was a common practice with their forefathers. However, after they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Messenger about this practice. In response to this question, Allah revealed a verse which stated that those who perform Hajj or Umra should not be harmed if they circumambulate between these two places. This hadith teaches us that we must always seek guidance from Allah through His messenger when in doubt about any religious practices as He is Bountiful in rewarding us for our good deeds.
