Hadith #74
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ الرُّكُوبِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَإِ
نَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا قُلْتُ مَا صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا مَاذَا قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَخَرَجُوا حَتَّى خَرَجَتْ الْعَوَاتِقُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُضْرَبُ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَافَ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ وَلَوْ نَزَلَ لَكَانَ الْمَشْيُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via al-Jurayri, from Abu al-Tufayl — that he said: 'I said to Ibn 'Abbas: Tell me about [the permissibility of] riding between al-Safa and al-Marwa, for your people claim it is a sunnah.' He said: 'They are right and wrong.' I said: 'How are they right and wrong?' He said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Makkah and the people came out [to greet him] — even the young women came out. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not permit anyone to be struck [pushed back] in his presence. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode and performed the sa'y while mounted. Had he dismounted, walking would have been more beloved to him.'
