حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا وَأَتَى الْمَقَامَ فَقَرَأَ :( وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى ) فَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْحَجَرَ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ " نَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ " . فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا وَقَرَأَ : (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ يَبْدَأُ بِالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَإِنْ بَدَأَ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا لَمْ يُجْزِهِ وَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا . وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِيمَنْ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِنْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهَا رَجَعَ فَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَتَّى أَتَى بِلاَدَهُ أَجْزَأَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ دَمٌ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنْ تَرَكَ الطَّوَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى بِلاَدِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُجْزِيهِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ . قَالَ الطَّوَافُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَاجِبٌ لاَ يَجُوزُ الْحَجُّ إِلاَّ بِهِ .

Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, that when the Prophet arrived in Mecca, he circumambulated the House seven times and went to the Station. He recited, ‘Take the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer,’ and prayed behind the Station. Then he went to the Stone and touched it, saying, ‘We begin with what Allah began with.’ He began at Safa and recited, ‘Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.’
Abu Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Scholars act on it, beginning at Safa before Marwah. If someone begins at Marwah before Safa, that does not count; he must begin again at Safa. Scholars differed over someone who circumambulates the House but leaves Mecca without performing the sa'y between Safa and Marwah. Some said that if he remembers while still near Mecca, he should return and perform the sa'y; if he does not remember until reaching his home, it suffices, but he must offer a sacrifice. This is the view of Sufyan al-Thawri. Others said it does not suffice if he leaves without the sa'y; this is the view of al-Shafi'i, who held that sa'y between Safa and Marwah is obligatory and Hajj is not valid without it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The commentary records differing rulings about omitting sa'y and affirms that the prescribed order begins at Safa.
