Volume 2, Book 26, Number 654: Narrated 'Aisha: I asked the Prophet whether the round wall (near Ka'ba) was part of the
Ka'ba. The Prophet replied in the affirmative. I further said, "What is
wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building of the
Ka'ba?" He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran
short of money (so they could not include it inside the building of
Ka'ba)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?"
He replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they
liked and prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the
Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam) and
were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included
the (area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka'ba and I would have
lowered its gate to the level of the ground."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 655:
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said to me, "Were your people not close to the
Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, I would have demolished the Ka'ba and would
have rebuilt it on its original foundations laid by Abraham (for Quraish had
curtailed its building), and I would have built a back door (too)."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 656:
Narrated Yazid bin Ruman from 'Urwa: 'Aisha said that the Prophet said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation
not close to the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka'ba
demolished and would have included in it the portion which had been left,
and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then
by doing this it would have been built on the foundations laid by
Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the Ka'ba. Jazz
said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka'ba and
included in it a portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka'ba which is
at present in the form of a compound towards the north-west of the Ka'ba). I
saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones resembling the
humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of
those stones?" Jazz said, "I will just now show it to you."
So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz pointed to a place
and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about
six cubits from Al-Hijr or so."

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 658:
Narrated 'Usama bin Zaid: I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you
stay in your house in Mecca?" He replied, "Has 'Aqil left any
property or house?" Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property of
Abu Talib. Jafar and Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and
the other two were non-believers. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, "A
believer cannot inherit (anything from an) infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a
sub-narrator) said, "They (Umar and others) derived the above verdict
from Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and
strove with their life And property in Allah's Cause, And those who helped
(the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These are (all)
allies to one another." (8.72)

the two right pillars."

the Ka'ba?" 'Abdullah replied in the negative.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 671:
Narrated Ibn Abbas: When Allah's Apostle came to Mecca, he refused to enter the Ka'ba with
idols in it. He ordered (idols to be taken out). So they were taken out. The
people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael holding Azlams in their
hands. Allah's Apostle said, "May Allah curse these people. By Allah,
both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams."
Then he entered the Ka'ba and said Takbir at its corners but did not offer
the prayer in it.

companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of the Ka'ba and
to walk between the two corners (The Black Stone and Yemenite corner). The
Prophet did not order them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of
pity for them.

not seen the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched
(and kissed) you.' Then he kissed it and said, 'There is no reason for us to
do Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and
now Allah has destroyed them.' 'Umar added, '(Nevertheless), the Prophet did
that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).'
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 676:
Narrated Nafi': Ibn 'Umar. said, "I have never missed the touching of these two
stones of Ka'ba (the Black Stone and the Yemenite Corner) both in the
presence and the absence of crowds, since I saw the Prophet touching

be easy for him to touch it (the Corner Stone)."

Later Abu Bakr and 'Umar did the same in their Hajj." And I performed the
Hajj with my father Az-Zubair, and the first thing he did was Tawaf of the
Ka'ba. Later I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and the Ansar doing the same. My

place and asked for water. Al-Abbas said, "O Fadl! Go to your mother and
bring water from her for Allah's Apostle ." Allah's Apostle said,
"Give me water to drink." Al-Abbas said, "O Allahs Apostle! The
people put their hands in it." Allah's Apostle again said, 'Give me water
to drink. So, he drank from that water and then went to the Zam-zam (well) and
there the people were offering water to the others and working at it (drawing
water from the well). The Prophet then said to them, "Carry on! You are
doing a good deed." Then he said, "Were I not afraid that other people
would compete with you (in drawing water from Zam-zam), I would certainly take
the rope and put it over this (i.e. his shoulder) (to draw water)." On
saying that the Prophet pointed to his shoulder.

Narrated 'Aisha: We set out with Allah's Apostle in the
year of his Last Hajj and we mended (the Ihram) for 'Umra. Then the Prophet
said, "Whoever has a Hadi with him should assume Ihram for both Hajj and
'Umra, and should not finish it till he performs both of the them (Hajj and
'Umra)." When we reached Mecca, I had my menses. When we had performed our
Hajj, the Prophet sent me with 'Abdur-Rahman to Tan'im and I performed the
'Umra. The Prophet said, "This is in lieu of your missed 'Umra." Those
who had assumed Ihram for 'Umra performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) and
then finished their Ihram. And then they performed another Tawaf (between Safa
and Marwa) after returning from Mina. And those who had assumed lhram for Hajj
and 'Umra to get her ( Hajj-Qiran ) performed only one Tawaf (between Safa and
Marwa).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 703:
Narrated Nafi': 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and
his riding animal entered the house of Ibn 'Umar. He (the son of Ibn 'Umar)
said, "I fear that this year a battle might take place between the people
and you might be prevented from going to the Ka'ba. I suggest that you should
stay here." Ibn Umar said, "Once Allah's Apostle set out for the
pilgrimage, and the pagans of Quraish intervened between him and the Ka'ba. So,
if the people intervened between me and the Ka'ba, I would do the same as
Allah's Apostle had done . . . "Verily, in Allah's Apostle you have a good
example." Then he added, "I make you a witness that I have intended to
perform Hajj along with 'Umra." After arriving at Mecca, Ibn 'Umar
performed one Tawaf only (between Safa and Marwa).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 704:
Narrated Nafi': Ibn 'Umar intended to perform Hajj in
the year when Al-Hajjaj attacked Ibn Az-Zubair. Somebody said to Ibn 'Umar,
"There is a danger of an impending war between them." Ibn 'Umar said,
"Verily, in Allah's Apostle you have a good example. (And if it happened as
you say) then I would do the same as Allah's Apostle had done. I make you
witness that I have decided to perform 'Umra." Then he set out and when he
reached Al-Baida', he said, "The ceremonies of both Hajj and 'Umra are
similar. I make you witness that I have made Hajj compulsory for me along with
'Umra." He drove (to Mecca) a Hadi which he had bought from (a place
called) Qudaid and did not do more than that. He did not slaughter the Hadi or
finish his Ihram, or shave or cut short his hair till the day of slaughtering
the sacrifices (10th Dhul-Hijja). Then he slaughtered his Hadi and shaved his
head and considered the first Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) as sufficient for Hajj
and 'Umra. Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle did the same."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 705:
Narrated Muhammad bin 'AbdurRahman bin Nawfal
Al-Qurashi: I asked 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair (regarding the Hajj of the Prophet ).
'Urwa replied, "Aisha narrated, 'When the Prophet reached Mecca, the first
thing he started with was the ablution, then he performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba and
his intention was not 'Umra alone (but Hajj and 'Umra together).' " Later
Abu Bakr I performed the Hajj and the first thing he started with was Tawaf of
the Ka'ba and it was not 'Umra alone (but Hajj and 'Umra together). And then
'Umar did the same. Then 'Uthman performed the Hajj and the first thing he
started with was Tawaf of the Ka'ba and it was not 'Umra alone. And then Muawiya
and 'Abdullah bin 'Umar did the same. I performed Hajj with Ibn Az-Zubair and
the first thing he started with was Tawaf of the Ka'ba and it was not 'Umra
alone, (but Hajj and 'Umra together). Then I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and
Ansar doing the same and it was not 'Umra alone. And the last person I saw doing
the same was Ibn 'Umar, and he did not do another 'Umra after finishing the
first. Now here is Ibn 'Umar present amongst the people! They neither ask him
nor anyone of the previous ones. And all these people, on entering Mecca, would
not start with anything unless they had performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba, and would
not finish their Ihram. And no doubt, I saw my mother and my aunt, on entering
Mecca doing nothing before performing Tawaf of the Ka'ba, and they would not
finish their lhram. And my mother informed me that she, her sister, Az-Zubair
and such and such persons had assumed lhram for 'Umra and after passing their
hands over the Corner (the Black Stone) (i.e. finishing their Umra) they
finished their Ihram."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 706:
Narrated 'Urwa: I asked 'Aisha : "How do you
interpret the statement of Allah,. : Verily! (the mountains) As-Safa and
Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah, and whoever performs the Hajj to the
Ka'ba or performs 'Umra, it is not harmful for him to perform Tawaf between them
(Safa and Marwa.) (2.158). By Allah! (it is evident from this revelation) there
is no harm if one does not perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." 'Aisha
said, "O, my nephew! Your interpretation is not true. Had this
interpretation of yours been correct, the statement of Allah should have been,
'It is not harmful for him if he does not perform Tawaf between them.' But in
fact, this divine inspiration was revealed concerning the Ansar who used to
assume lhram for worship ping an idol called "Manat" which they used
to worship at a place called Al-Mushallal before they embraced Islam, and
whoever assumed Ihram (for the idol), would consider it not right to perform
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
When they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) regarding it, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! We used to refrain from
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." So Allah revealed: 'Verily; (the mountains)
As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah.' " Aisha added,
"Surely, Allah's Apostle set the tradition of Tawaf between Safa and Marwa,
so nobody is allowed to omit the Tawaf between them." Later on I ('Urwa)
told Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman (of 'Aisha's narration) and he said, 'i have not
heard of such information, but I heard learned men saying that all the people,
except those whom 'Aisha mentioned and who used to assume lhram for the sake of
Manat, used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
When Allah referred to the Tawaf of the Ka'ba and did
not mention Safa and Marwa in the Quran, the people asked, 'O Allah's Apostle!
We used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa and Allah has revealed (the
verses concerning) Tawaf of the Ka'ba and has not mentioned Safa and Marwa. Is
there any harm if we perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?' So Allah revealed:
"Verily As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah." Abu Bakr
said, "It seems that this verse was revealed concerning the two groups,
those who used to refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa in the Pre-lslamic
Period of ignorance and those who used to perform the Tawaf then, and after
embracing Islam they refrained from the Tawaf between them as Allah had enjoined
Tawaf of the Ka'ba and did not mention Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) till later
after mentioning the Tawaf of the Ka'ba.'
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 707:
Narrated Nafi': 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
performing 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 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 performed 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 Marwa."
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
offered a two-Rakat prayer and then performed Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa." Ibn 'Umar then recited (the verse): "Verily! In Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) you have a good example. "
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 710:
Narrated 'Asim: I asked Anas bin Malik: "Did you

"Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-lslamic period of

between them.' " (2.158)
