رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَدْخُلُ فِي اَلسَّعْيِ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ فَيَدْخُلُ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ أَ يُخَفِّفُ أَوْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَعُودُ أَوْ يَلْبَثُ كَمَا هُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ فَقَالَ «أَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا مَسْجِدٌ لَهُ لاَ بَلْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَعُودُ» قُلْتُ وَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A man starts performing Sa'i (ritual walking) between Safa and Marwah, and the time for prayer begins. Should he hasten to complete it, or should he pray first and then return to complete it, or should he remain in his current state until he finishes?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Isn't there a mosque between the two (Safa and Marwah)? No, rather he should pray first and then return to complete it." I asked: "And can he sit on Safa and Marwah?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes."
