The verse for ascending al-Safa: Is it recited in full, or is it limited to a portion as it appears in the hadith?

The questioner : The questioner:The questioner : The hadith regarding the beginning of the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah includes the recitation of the words of Allah the Exalted: . The rest of the wording of this hadith stops at this point in the verse without completing it. Does the Muslim complete the verse, or does he stop there? What is the evidence for this?

The Shaykh : This question was asked recently, yesterday, by some of our brothers present. The answer was that the verse came in this form. It is possible that it is, as in Sahih al-Bukhari and other sources, a fragment of the verse, serving as an indication of the rest of the verse due to its length. In that case, it would be an abbreviation by the narrators. Therefore, if one holds that view, it is permissible for him to complete the verse. Otherwise, if he is convinced that the narration was intended as a specific limit, and not as an indication of its completion, he stops at this amount and does not add to it. The matter is possible, as we mentioned previously.
