6 Aḥadīth

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.


1. 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.’”

3ـ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ أَ يَسْتَرِيحُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنْ شَاءَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَبَيْنَهُمَا فَيَجْلِسُ.


3. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated 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: if he can rest. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so on al-Safa’ or al-Marwah or in between.’”

4ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا يُجْلَسُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ إِلاَّ مِنْ جَهْدٍ.


4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad, from certain persons of our people, from Aban, from ‘Abd al- Rahman who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘You must not sit down between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah unless you are very exhausted.’”

5ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ النِّسَاءِ يَطُفْنَ عَلَى الإِبِلِ وَالدَّوَابِّ أَ يُجْزِئُهُنَّ أَنْ يَقِفْنَ تَحْتَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ بِحَيْثُ يَرَيْنَ الْبَيْتَ.


5. 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 ‘Abd Allah (a.s), about the case of women who perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah on camels and stumpers; if they can stop below al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, they can do so in a way that they can see the House.’”

6ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَى الرَّاكِبِ سَعْيٌ وَلَكِنْ لِيُسْرِعْ شَيْئاً.


6. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘One riding is not required to perform Sa‘y (walking faster like running slowly) but they should hasten to a certain degree.’”
