Sahih al-Bukhari (1643), Vol. 2, Book of Pilgrimage (Hajj), Hadith 706
But in fact, this divine inspiration was revealed concerning the Ansar who used to assume lhram for worshipping 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 regarding it, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! We used to refrain
from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." 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.' Classification: Sahih (Authentic), SOURCE: https://muflihun.com/bukhari/26/706

 

Sahih Muslim (1277c), Vol. 3, Book of Pilgrimage, Hadith 2925
'Urwa b. Zabair reported: I said to 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle: I do not see any (fault) in one who does
NOT circumamblate between al-Safa' and al-Marwa, and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate between them,
whereupon she said: O, the son of my sister, what you say is wrong. Messenger of Allah observed Sa'i and so did
the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet). And it was a common practice (with the PAGAN Arabs) that those
who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched al-Manat, situated at Mushalla, did not observe Sa'i between al-Safa'
and al-Marwa. Classification: Sahih (Authentic), SOURCE: https://muflihun.com/muslim/7/2925

 

Sahih Muslim (1278), Vol. 3, Book of Pilgrimage, Hadith 2928
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Ansar felt reluctant that they should circumambulate between
al-Safa' and al-Marwa until it was revealed:" Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ;
so whoever performs Hajj or 'Umra, for him there is no harm that he should circumambulate between them.
