Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْنَا ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فِي عُمْرَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، أَيَأْتِي امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا، وَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ سَبْعًا، وَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَسَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْرَبَنَّهَا حَتَّى يَطُوفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Humaydi narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, who said: We asked Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, about a man who performed circumambulation of the House during Umrah but did not go between Safa and Marwah. May he approach his wife? He said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived and circumambulated the House seven times, prayed two rakahs behind the Station, and went between Safa and Marwah seven times. You have a good example in the Messenger of Allah. He said: We also asked Jabir ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, and he said: He must not approach her until he goes between Safa and Marwah.
