Sahih Bukhari 4861

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ ، سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ ، قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا كَانَ مَنْ أَهَلَّ بِمَنَاةَ الطَّاغِيَةِ الَّتِي بِالْمُشَلَّلِ لَا يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ سورة البقرة آية 158 ، فَطَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمُسْلِمُون ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : مَنَاةُ بِالْمُشَلَّلِ مِنْ قُدَيْدٍ . وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : نَزَلَتْ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا هُمْ وَغَسَّانُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا يُهِلُّونَ لِمَنَاةَ مِثْلَهُ . وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ : كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يُهِلُّ لِمَنَاةَ وَمَنَاةُ صَنَمٌ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالُوا : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، كُنَّا لَا نَطُوفُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ تَعْظِيمًا لِمَنَاةَ نَحْوَهُ .

Narrated `Urwa: I asked `Aisha (regarding the Sai between As Safa and Al-Marwa). She said, Out of reverence to the idol Manat which was placed in Al-Mushailal, those who used to assume Ihram in its name, used not to perform Sai between As-Safa and Al-Marwa, so Allah revealed: 'Verily! The As-Safa and Al-Marwa (two mountains at Mecca) are among the symbols of Allah.' (2.158). Thereupon, Allah's Messenger and the Muslims used to perform Sai (between them). Sufyan said: The (idol) Manat was at Al-Mushailal in Qudaid. `Aisha added, The Verse was revealed in connection with the Ansar. They and (the tribe of) Ghassan used to assume lhram in the name of Manat before they embraced Islam. `Aisha added, There were men from the Ansar who used to assume lhram in the name of Manat which was an idol between Mecca and Medina. They said, O Allah's Messenger ! We used not to perform the Tawaf (Sai) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa out of reverence to Manat.
