The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:158]; what is the meaning of [Al-Baqarah 2:158] in the noble verse?
This verse was found difficult by Urwah, previously mentioned, the son of al-Zubayr, the son of the sister of the Lady Aisha. One day he said to the Lady Aisha: “I see no reason why a man who performs Hajj and does not circumambulate the House or perform sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah would have an invalid Hajj.” She asked him, “Why is that?” He recited this verse, which was his doubt:[Al-Baqarah 2:158]. He understood it as any person would understand it.
First, he did not possess the Arabic style.
Second, he did not know the occasion for which this verse was revealed,[Al-Baqarah 2:158]. That is, there is no harm in his not circumambulating, so the implication is that there is also nothing required of him regarding what? Not circumambulating. That was how Urwah understood it. What did the Lady Aisha say to him? She said: “If the matter were as you say, the verse would have been: ‘There is no blame on him that he does not circumambulate between them.’” But the verse says: [Al-Baqarah 2:158], not “does not circumambulate.” Even with this much, the intended meaning is not understood. However, the Lady Aisha explained the matter with a sufficient explanation. She stated and clarified that the essence of the matter is that this verse was revealed after the Muslims, after the Companions, had believed and embraced Islam and come to know Islam, so they began to distance themselves from their previous pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Before Islam, they used to…
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ البَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاthere is no blame upon him for walking between them
فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاThis verse was found difficult by Urwah, previously mentioned, the son of al-Zubayr, the son of the sister of the Lady Aisha.
