حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَكَّةَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَاسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ مَضَى عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَرَمَلَ ثَلاَثًا وَمَشَى أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَقَامَ فَقَالَ : (وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى ) فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالْمَقَامُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْحَجَرَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّفَا أَظُنُّهُ قَالََّ :( إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ) . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Yahya ibn Adam informed us: Sufyan al-Thawri informed us, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, who said: When the Prophet arrived in Mecca, he entered the mosque and touched the Black Stone. Then he proceeded to his right, moved briskly for three circuits, and walked for four. He went to the Station and recited, ‘Take the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.’ He prayed two rak'ahs with the Station between him and the House. After the two rak'ahs, he went to the Stone and touched it. Then he went out to Safa—I think the narrator said he recited—‘Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.’
There is also a report on this topic from Ibn Umar. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Jabir is hasan sahih, and scholars act on it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The narrator expresses uncertainty about whether the Prophet recited the verse upon reaching Safa.
