Sa‘y Between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and the Prayers to Say
8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَرِيضَةٌ أَمْ سُنَّةٌ فَقَالَ فَرِيضَةٌ قُلْتُ أَ وَلَيْسَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِما قَالَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) شَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا الأَصْنَامَ مِنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَتَشَاغَلَ رَجُلٌ وَتَرَكَ السَّعْيَ حَتَّى انْقَضَتِ الأَيَّامُ وَأُعِيدَتِ الأَصْنَامُ فَجَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ فُلاناً لَمْ يَسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَقَدْ أُعِيدَتِ الأَصْنَامُ فَأَنْزَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِما أَيْ وَعَلَيْهِمَا الأَصْنَامُ.
8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu‘awiyah ibn Hakim from Muhammad Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Sayrafiy from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah if it is obligatory or Sunnah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is obligatory.’ I then asked, ‘What is the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . then it is not harmful for him to perform Tawaf of them.’ (2:158). He (the Imam) said, ‘This was in al-‘Umrah of al-Qada’ when the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, set a condition on them to remove the idols from al-Safa’ and al-Marwah that distracted people from performing Sa‘y (walking faster like running slowly). Days passed and idols were brought back, and they came to the Messenger of Allah saying, ‘So and so did not perform Sa‘y (walking faster like running slowly) and the idols are brought back.’ Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, revealed, ‘. . . it is not harmful to perform Tawaf between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah,’ that is, even though there are idols on them.’” (Ahadith 7-8 of this Chapter are best explained in the form of fatwa)
9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الأَعْرَجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الرَّمَلِ فِي سَعْيِهِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ لا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَرُوِيَ أَنَّ الْمَسْعَى كَانَ أَوْسَعَ مِمَّا هُوَ الْيَوْمَ وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ ضَيَّقُوهُ.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from Sa‘id al-’A‘raj who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who did not walk faster between the two signs during Sa‘y of al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is not necessary for him to do anything.’ It is narrated that the area of “al-Mas‘a (the area for Sa‘y)’” was greater than it is today. People have reduced this area.’”
10ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ السَّعْيَ مُتَعَمِّداً قَالَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَجُّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ.
10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who intentionally does not perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes al-Hajj in future.’” (Hadith 10 of this and the following Chapters are best explained in the form of fatwa).

The Case of One Who Begins from al-Marwah or Makes Mistakes During Sa‘y Between the Two Places
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْوُضُوءَ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who begins from al-Marwah before al- Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if one begins washing his left arms before the right arm for wudu’, he is required to take wudu’ again.’”
2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي رَجُلٍ سَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً اطَّرَحَ وَاحِداً وَاعْتَدَّ بِسَبْعَةٍ.
2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who performs eight instead of seven times Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is by mistake, he can consider the extra being dropped and count the seven.’”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ حَجَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ صَرُورَةٌ فَسَعَيْنَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ شَوْطاً فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ سَبْعَةٌ لَكَ وَسَبْعَةٌ تُطْرَحُ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “We performed al-Hajj as Sarurah (first time performing al-Hajj) so we performed Sa‘y between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah by fourteen times walking between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful, seven is for you and the other seven just being dropped.’”
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغِ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا قَالَ يُعِيدُ أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَوْ بَدَأَ بِشِمَالِهِ قَبْلَ يَمِينِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُعِيدَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Ali al-Sa‘igh who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was present, about a man who begins from al- Marwah instead of from al-Safa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must do it again. Consider if you begin with your left arms for wudu’ instead of with your right arm, you must begin with your right arm and then do your left arm again.’”
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَصَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ مَنْ طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ شَوْطاً طَرَحَ ثَمَانِيَةً وَاعْتَدَّ بِسَبْعَةٍ وَإِنْ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ فَلْيَطْرَحْ وَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالصَّفَا.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If one performs fifteen times instead of seven times walking between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah he drops eight Shawt (walking once between al-Safa’ and al- Marwah) and counts the seven. If he begins from al-Marwah he must drop it and begin from al- Safa’.’”

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَعَلَى الْمَحْمِلِ.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah riding on a stumper. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so as well as on a carriage.’”
2ـ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ رَاكِباً قَالَ لا بَأْسَ وَالْمَشْيُ أَفْضَلُ.
2. Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah riding. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful but walking is more virtuous.’”
